Re: Nope, not sharing
I think that was AC's point? That they can't have his proper coffee, but they can use some of that Starbucks stuff instead.
Mine's the one with the Comandante grinder in the pocket (I have big pockets). ===>

While it hasn't been set in stone yet due to that lack of precedent, as I understand it, the best guess is that the Secret Service would basically hand their duties over to whichever Bureau of Prisons, Department of Corrections, or whatever gets possession of him, and that other entity would then have the responsibility for him for the duration of his stay. But yeah, given how unprecedented everything is, that's just the most likely of many possible and very different options.
I think I get the thing that two00lbwaster might have been talking about, when I'm using an external monitor on my MacBook, and after the screen locks and the monitor goes to power saving, then I can unlock it almost instantaneously via the fingerprint, the monitor doesn't come back up quickly enough, and it moves everything to the built-in display. At least, that's my take on what's happening, but what I know for sure is that yeah, sometime but not always after a screen lock, everything gets moved to that built-in display.

I think it sounds like it's worth a shot. I don't even know why it feels the need to read all that despite the nearly-empty filesystem, but it might well be that if I partition e.g. a 32 GB SD with just a single 4 GB partition, it won't spend the time looking at the other 28 GB. I'll have to do some more extensive testing on that sometime.
I've found that kind of problem with one of my sound recorders, where the time to boot and read the drive contents is proportional to the size of the micro SD card you have in it, and it's getting pretty slow around 8 GB. I was surprised how hard it was to get reasonably-likely decent-quality (i.e. a brand name I've actually heard of before) SD in sizes < 16 GB.
If you're referring to the age of the Internet I think you are, one of my special quirks is that the difference between my age in seconds and a standard Unix timestamp is < 86,400. It has been a long annoyance, though, that when I see those dates crop up on technical bits, I often end up unclear on whether it's because that's my birth date, or because a timestamp got cleared or defaulted to zero.
Horizon is an EPOS....Did you actually manage to type that with a straight face? I couldn't.
The UK prime minister has promised to speed up the legal process to quash convictions and compensation for those wrongfully accused.And punish the actual wrongdoers instead of those they wrongfully accused, right? You/they seem to have left that part off.
Are you not discussing reducing the resistance to compensate for approximately half the voltage whilst maintaining the same power?
ETA: I mean, after anonymous boring coward discussed using the same resistance with half the voltage, which of course would result in a quarter the power.
I buy my tea from China (black/red) and Columbia (white) (yes, seriously).Seriously? Not from Colombia?
(To be fair, the recent Register article about the nose wheel coming off the Boeing made the same mistake when discussing the plane's intended destination, last time I looked at it.)
Three satellites are great for detecting gravitational waves in a plane, presumably along the ecliptic, but will lose sensitivity towards the poles. Why not four satellites, to completely cover the sphere? I would think that the marginal cost would be reasonably small, given that the design would be the same. But maybe they came up against a hard limit of the payload mass of a particular launcher they're targeting (if they're expecting to launch all three in one go), or it could well be too hard to come up with orbits that keep four satellites at least roughly equidistant–I haven't even modelled that in KSP, much less anything real.
But I would love to see a proper foursome, for full coverage.
And the flip side of that coin is not fearing fossil fuels enough. I mean, even aside from the CO₂ & climate change angle, just the dirty stuff from coal is killing millions on a regular basis when it's working as planned, but oh, a few people died from radioactivity that one time, so we can't have that! That's what really sticks in my craw.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but, as I understand it, the rovers were deployed as the lander hovered just before touchdown, whilst it was still in an upright position. So, its final position* wasn't an issue for them.
* I assume that it prefers kipping on its back.
But with a sample size of 700, there's practically 0% chance that there was either not a single fraudster, or not a single honest person in there. Technically, there's some difference as long as you don't assume or measure a 50% honesty rate, but both are so close to 0 that it really doesn't matter, as far as the accuracy of that sentence is concerned.
ETA: I see Elongated Muskrat has shown his working below. A better answer than mine, granted, if not as pithy.
I don't know why Charles Babbage even bothered. It's not as if they've learned from him, even over 150 years later.
On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
