Mars days are roughly the same as Earth days. Moon days are almost the same as the lunar cycle on Earth, so the moon has far longer days.
Roughly the same sure, but longer nonetheless, and certainly not shorter as the post I replied to said.
Radio, on the other hand, even if you hear a piece of music that you like, the chance of actually being told the name of the artist is close to zero.
Many car radios at least will display artist/title information on FM, if the station provides it. If they don't (or if yours doesn't do that), you can fire up SoundHound or something similar and see what it says.
Data migration and expanding RAID containers is a major PITA. I absolutely loath the task!
That's why you don't use RAID. Instead, use something more flexible. I've been running Greyhole for a while now. Adding storage doesn't require shifting files around (unless you want to rebalance storage), you can use drives of different sizes, and you can control the level of redundancy you use (more for important files, less for stuff that's easily replaced). You can yank a disk out of a Greyhole installation and read all of the files off of it with standard file-copy tools.
Important stuff that doesn't take too much space (documents, Git repos, etc.) is backed up daily to Tarsnap. Less-important stuff (movies, music) and larger files (photos) get dumped to BD-R and are stored in binders in my desk at work; images are prepared with dvdisaster for added error recovery capability and are burned to single-layer BD-R HTL media.
Thank God for Texas! Fuck that sub-zero northern weather. I don't understand why people live like that. Ignorance that there's warmer climate??? Boggles my mind.
My parents moved from Phoenix to Dayton a few years ago...they had gotten tired of triple-digit temperatures for 7-8 months of the year and, as they put it, wanted four seasons. As for me, I'm still in Las Vegas, 26 years after we moved here.
As for sounds you don't hear much anymore, try this: multi-engine prop planes with piston engines. The sound of a B-17 (or anything similar) taxiing or flying overhead is different from any airplane you're more likely to run across. There's no turboprop whine, and four radial engines sound nothing at all like the 4- or 6-cylinder boxers you'll find in smaller aircraft. (For a sample, pop in your copy of Airplane!, where they dubbed this kind of sound over 707 flight footage as a joke.) At this point, about the only time you're likely to come across it now is at the larger airshows where they can afford to bring in an old bomber or cargo hauler (they're more expensive to keep flying than fighters).
Besides, what does Mars have that the moon doesn't? A little more gravity? Shorter days -- that you wouldn't appreciate anyway, buried under your radiation shielding?
Let me stop you right there. Pretty sure Mars has longer days, and I could always use a little more sleep.
Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Serving coffee on aircraft causes turbulence.
