Satellite frequencies range from 1176.45 MHz for the L5 band to 1575.42 MHz for the L1 band, although it looks like only L1 and L2 (1227.60 MHz) are really used for the actual positioning. But then I saw a bunch of math I didn't understand, so I skipped to Wikipedia's Submarine Navigation page and it lists GPS as "Surface and Near-Surface", which is described as no more than periscope depth.

But when expanded, it retains the capital letters. Which denotes a proper noun (name of the system). Unlike you're IMU example.

If you think humans are the unreliable thing, you've never met my Magellan. Half the time, I couldn't use it to circumnavigate a town.

If you want violent felons to have any hope of being rehabilitated, you need to show them what true criminals look like.

What if you're tossing it because it completely crapped out on you and, thus, you can't change anything?

For the same of variety, I'm hoping they didn't stock a lot of large print books...

So it's updated about exactly as often as a shipboard library would be in the first place. And probably contains more titles... I don't see Navy ships dedicating a lot of space to libraries.

That reminds me of the other quirk of my bank.... username is case sensitive. e.g. SJHillman was already taken, but it let's me use Sjhillman

My bank assigned me the random PIN of "1234" for my debit card. One of my student loan websites (Citibank) ignored anything past the 8th character of your password anyway. One of my old credit unions had a six character password limit, alphanumeric only. Financial institutions are a little behind the times.

Seven of the ten wealthiest members of Congress are Democrats, although reporting on Congress members' net worth is inaccurate by design. There's quite a few of them with a net worth in the negative six figures too.

I wasn't aware that Republicans were in charge of UPS.

If theft is what you're worried about, I'd take USPS over UPS or FedEx any day. The Post Office consider mail theft to be Serious Business.

The fact they don't guarantee/insure it by default is the reason most people can afford them in the first place. If they wrapped that into their default price, the price of every package sent would go up.

If they're aliens with a giant star cruiser that presumably came from space (or maybe the fifth dimension? I dunno), I don't think this would be a major issue.... especially because of the "already in space" part.

A better question is, if you're going to dump it at all, why do it on a planet with life and go through the trouble of diluting it? Why not choose a dead rock, deep space, or, ya know, a star?
