Our car is badly scratched. It's second hand and one of us made additional scratch to it (non intentional).
I don't think anyone would be interested in robing such a car and we feel quite relaxed regarding theft risk (and when going through tight places).
The Shell Prelude vessel is larger:
Once complete, the facility will have decks measuring 488 by 74 metres (that's more than 1600 feet long and 243 feet wide).
It is built in Goeje, South Korea, and this will be the largest hull ever sent to sea.
Yes, I don't buy his conspiracies and UFO beliefs, but since he is a leading authority on magnetohydrodynamics and mastered geometry I don't see him as any raving fool.
J.P. Petit is a knowledgeable scientist with independent views, now disregarded because of some of his foibles.
That's why I won't say that all of his theories or mere ideas should "be taken with much skepticism", that would be very unfair and at least irrational.
He could be right on this geometric approach, no matter what strange views he can have on other subjects.
Geometry is just his field and sometime science subjects need people from other fields to advance.
Moreover I've seen some other recent scientist publications with similar results, but with physic approach, I'll link here if I remember.

I hope you will find it less difficult to understand that duality is one fact, not two contradictory observations (as it seems to be a century ago).
Example: Light (photons) behave like a particle, AND a wave. BOTH are true
Bad example, this isn't two truths, there is only one, the fact that photons have dual behaviour and are not only a particle or only a wave.
Regarding the very statement of the nature of light, there is one truth.
Regarding observed properties of light, there are many, and at least those two properties are valid/verified, but this isn't related to an in-between or non binary truth.
As a result of the incorrect initial attitude during barbecue operations, Fregat did not achieve the proper orientation for the second burn, pointing its thrust vector in an erroneous direction leading to the off-target insertion of the two Galileo satellites.
It remains to be answered why the attitude discrepancies that originated in the first 38 minutes of the mission were not detected by the onboard computer or teams on the ground watching over the vehicle in real time.
It is also unknown whether it is a standard design on Fregat to mount the cold Helium line in close proximity to the Hydrazine pipeline or whether the lines got bundled by accident.
Are the captcha so ineffective?
He uses OpenCV for pre-process and Tesseract for OCR, and has >90% success for captchas...
That's great but how do sites counter bots nowdays?
