I think work on such buildings probably needs revamping, with practices like in aviation where all tools must me accounted for, every action that will cause heat needs a plan, supervision, heat sensors after the work... Maybe also install fire suppression as part of the scaffolding. Scandinavia has...
Jump to postfor just $1,700,000.00 you can get a cozy starter home thats just 384 yes 384 square feet (about the size of a small hotel room) You must go to some very interesting hotels if you think 384 square feet is a small hotel room.

Jump to postI just got the S23 Ultra, couldn't be happier. Almost don't need to use my DSLR. The 10X optical zoom is very impressive. You should see the 200 MP 100x digital zoom on the S24 Ultra. I'm guessing it's great. I was considering waiting for the S24, but I was in a hurry to get a new phone, as in my p...

Jump to post. Have y'all had any luck with the carnivore diet? The carnivore diet 'works' because it cuts out all the foods that are bad for you, or you have some kind of allergy to.So all the stuff that made you unhealthy, you stop eating. It also gets rid of carbs, so you'll lose weight. It's a short term di...
Jump to postYou didn't mention how you eat, so I'll start by stating the obvious. No processed foods, fast foods, junk foods & snacks. Zero sugar, no soda or fruit juices, and try to keep the carbs gluten-free, a lot of people do not tolerate gluten and have no idea. Stick to high quality sources of protein...
Jump to postJust gave back a 50k miles Chrysler Pacifica. Now I do not care about the milage but I have to say, this car is the worst thing I hve ever drove when it came to built quality and engineering.

Jump to postFWD is cheaper and makes the car more spacious. With margins on small cars being really tight, they decided on FWD. They did customer interviews when designing their 3rd generation 1series. Apparently most customers did not even know their 1st and 2nd generation 1series was RWD. So the customers wh...

Jump to postDepends what you enjoy doing, but. Slovenia is a hidden gem, while you're there it's worth seeing Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.

Jump to postOne thing I have noticed over the years: so many motor-heads moan and whine about FWD, calling it cheap, or Wrong Wheel Drive, or other pejoratives. Yet, when Audi was all FWD, and SAAB - may it rust in pieces - was FWD, yet, no moaning from the motor-heads and enthusiasts. Why? Please. Someone exp...

I can understand accompanying family members, especially young ones or elders who require assistance. I guess my ...
Jump to postI think the violent crime might be a more significant factor in reducing ridership than is being reported. There is regular news about assaults on the subway in NYC, if I lived there I'd be avoiding it and making sure my family does as well.

I'm not aware of any natural transition that has been as quick as the current one, outside of instantaneous events such as volcanic eruption or bolide impacts.
Again there is no evidence that natural climate change is the present contribution. And as explained, there could not be, because of the time scales involved. We do not have the temporal resolution in the natural record to establish a natural cause for the rate of change we see today. The evidence ...
Jump to postI'd like to know what percentage of current climate change (btw the climate is always changing) currently is human caused, and what percentage is natural. I'd appreciate, genuinely any sources you have for that. This is kind of the whole point. There is no evidence that there is natural climate cha...

Jump to postIce core evidence has shown that the ice sheet in Greenland had entirely melted and all of the island was green 416,000 years ago.

Jump to postWW1 started in 1914 the US entered in 1917 WW2 started in 1939 (1938 or 1940 depending on your POV), US entered in December 1941. I'm sure Taiwan or Poland can hold on 2-3 years if they're attacked. Simplistic, but I recall reading documents that the Americans at the end of WWI stating that the con...
Jump to postAnd in France we see it the exact opposite way. Poland wants our protection and our money but spends it buying US stuff. Poland relied on French help once, and now there is a running joke here. "French WW2 rifle for sale: never fired, dropped once. Make an offer". There are a lot of bad t...

A bit of feel-good news from the football field. In the cup match between the women of Benfica and Sporting, referee Caterina Campos drew a white card for the first time in football history.

Jump to postDo you think that the burglars won't bring guns if they know that the home will not have any? Well, that's certainly seems to be the case in most unarmed, civilised countries.

Jump to postI agree that criminals will still have guns. But they won't carry them often and will rarely ever get in a position where they really need them.

Jump to postWhy? I think it's quite clear that legal gun ownership does absolutely nothing to prevent crime. In violent crimes, the criminal wants to be 1 step ahead of the victim.
