Inosine is a good nutrient.

Needs a bit more proofreading but nice to read anyway.

This might need major fix

> In a 64-bit ISA, each instruction is represented using 64 bits (8 bytes).

Not as I understand it and maybe only for exotic ISAs like VLIW. For most other, CISC or RISC, I think the instruction length might be much smaller, and in some cases, x86 for example, the length of instructions is variable (one of the reasons they have a decoder). The size of the registers is 64 bits, as are the ALU operations on these registers, and the length of the words that are addressed in memory.

So if some nonzero percentage of UAPs are LGMs (little green men) then that could finally exlain Fermi's paradox! Is there any way to get a guess at that percentage?

if anything they should be slower. propjets for anything under 500 mi. maybe 700 mi even.

will any of the pre-production work ever be recycled anytime soon?
