I assume GP has confused, and was referring to, the turning off of SA (selective availability), that when on deteriorates the precision of civilian receivers - thus improving the precision availble to the military units that couldn't get proper military grade receivers but instead had civilian receivers. As you say, number of users/receivers has no effect on the system, as they're just listening - just like FM radio sets...

There are places in the world that have intersecting tunnels...

Ooooh, I sense a business opportunity - thermite cases! Shouldn't be any less safe to walk around with than the phones themselves, given the batteries. Must just not make the trigger too sensitive...

No, but a bit harder for her to do the control as 'normal sized'... I assume the study wanted the same person in both tests to eliminate as many other variables as possible.

Is that flour fluffy or compacted - how compacted was the contents due to transport vibrations/settling? (yes, you do get about the same if you do it the same way, but what if you don't scoop but instead pour from the package?)

Guess what - the same thing applies if you have metric measuring cups and metric recipes (haven't seen any call for something like 138g, just like you're unlikely to see calls for 2,17 cups, they're typically tuned to reasonable values in whatever system they originate. Very few recipes are THAT inflexible to not allow that...)

For butter/margarine we use, like 200/225/250g (never seen a value not a multiple of 25g, like you're unlikely to see anything but easy fractions of 'stick') - and that can be had by cutting off a chunk from the package (typically 500g or 1kg), 4/4.5/5 scale lines wide (lines on the wrapper placed every 50g)

> Fahrenheit scale simply makes more sense Really? Water freezing and boiling, two rather important things for man, at 32 and 212 compared to 0 and 100? I'll give you that putting the human body temp at ~100 is somewhat reasonable, but the rest? Why not use some other unit size and put freezing and boiling water at more memorable values, it's not that the factor 1,8 compared to C or K is somehow magical or derived from something special... It is NOT more sensible - it is just that you grew up with it and are used to it. To me, negative temperatures are clearly cold - the more the worse, positive single digits from cold to chilly, comfortable--a bit warm 515--25, uncomfortably warm ~30, F'in hot ~40, above that? I'm not going anywhere not AC'd... And that is just as 'natural' and intuitive to me as the F scale is to you, because I grew up with it. And of course, those temperature spans are my preferences based on local climate abd experience (just like I doubt a Texan and an Alaskan have the same temperature span for 'shorts and T-shirt' weather)

Even if that [hypothetically] isn't an issue, security through obscurity is no security...

Since it was invalid, will we be getting the fines, for nor timely implementing it, back?

Undercover - in a cruiser?! Are the criminals all blind?

The U.S. is a member of WTO (that bunch of [not just foreign] bankers) - and quite happy to wield it against other nations. Now with the boot on the other foot - not so happy. But it IS good to see that not abiding by the rules they agreed on by being a member of WTO does have consequences for the U.S. too, not just 'lesser' nations...

Nah, while related, Swedish!= German (which I believe is what GP was aiming for)

of course it'd also very likely generate hydrogen gas - and that, when mixed with air and sparks/molten metal, is rather likely to explode...

Some [suitably located] data centers, for instance this one, in Sweden do pump heat into the "remote heat" (fjärrvärme) grid, which then goes out to individual homes, apartment buildings etc

Back whern they were kept in single boxes/partitions/stalls (or what they're called) (today they tend to be allowed to walk around more, often free to use an automated milking station on its own schedule) there was often an electrode suspended just above the back of the cow. Apparently they arch their back as they go.. After a few times they learned to take a step or two backwards, depositing into a grating covered manure ditch instead of onto the floor, avoiding the electrode. IIRC the use of these electrodes was stopped even prior to the more free style of keeping them.

And that's extrapolating wildly outside the data that they have, drawing conclusions they have no real base for, as they have no idea what their sellers bought instead. Couldn't it possibly be newer, potentially under risk of being banned, Samsung gear?
