Honestly, as someone who worked for AAA at the roadside, the Corolla is an admirable car in its own respects. Ive seen late 90s models absolutely abused and make it to the 150k mile mark.

...

With that being said, if you try to tow a boat with a corolla, you’re practically sentencing the poor thing to transmission trouble and differential difficulties. I’d say that you’d be lucky to get a boat from driveway to launch ramp 3 separate trips before the transmission fails. All of that is assuming you can find someone to frame weld a tow hitch for a boat to the corolla.

Oh HN.

That sounds impressive. Do you have a resource for those numbers?

Which fs are you using nextcloud with? Is it as seamless as ext4 with Dropbox?

From experience, I’d describe it as an “emotional whirlwind”. The person suffering has a lasting, chaotic impact on the household. Similar to a whirlwind the very winds that start it can’t really be seen or predicted with ease.

This is encouraging to hear. I’m about 4 months out for a move to the hill country just west of Austin. Same situation, working remotely, homeschooling. Any advice on what to look out for? I’d still be grid connected, so I wouldn’t be relying on a femto or anything like that.

For those wondering about the Pilgrims Progress reference, this is probably what OP intends:

" HELP. Then said he, Give me thy hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way. [Ps. 40:2]

{33} Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the City of Destruction to yonder gate, is it that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security? And he said unto me, This miry slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Despond; for still, as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears, and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place. And this is the reason of the badness of this ground."

Free software messiah? OP is laying it on a bit thick with that one.

short answer; it depends, but in general we are looking for holes in EM shielding to turn the RVs into paperweights.

As a former nuke maintainer, the way I think they would do it would be to launch a titan with a full MIRV payload of W53s or their predecessors out into an area for HAD (high altitude detonation). The understanding is that we were relying on the emp from nuclear blasts to make things drop from the sky. This is also a time when insensitive high exposives were not a thing and simple shock would begin a detonation for most weapons. The emp overloading electronics in either the launch vehicle (depending on altitude) or the reentry vehicle could cause the weapon to detonate (noncriticality, just a simple detonation). Aditionally consider that passing through the EM contaminated zone would likely render the same effects to the launch vehicle. The RV might not even separate and instead just continue into orbit. Lastly, the RV angle and positioning done by the RS (reentry system) is highly dependent on both explosives and electronics. Lots of room for EM to muck with that and cause a poor reentry angle or even an outright spin fault which would lead to detonation on reentry. Regardless, most RVs will not critically detonate unless all flight conditions are met. This means launch, RS positioning, proper spin, etc.

Side note : In the service I’ve heard rumors of the Russians having the same doctrine when under attack and defending key government areas, but at lower altitudes and being initiated with Tuplovs and gravity weapons (non rv, aircraft dropped). This inherently implies fratricidal consequences for pilots and civilians.

Out of curiosity, is it a community inspired by ‘The Benedict Option’?

Blaming it on community planning might be pointing to the symptom rather than the problem. I’d hazard that the real problem is intolerance born from individualism. In the American context we have a society such that people both clutch and invent their own rights while insisting that all others respect and maintaining them. This would be fine if tolerance actually existed and the relationship were bidirectional. The relationship has proven to be unidirectional in a lot of cases which has led to the polarity that we are experiencing. Abstracting further, I’d say that these situations could largely be reduced to groups of people misunderstanding the significance of difference between tolerance and affirmation.

Last words: yes it is simplistic and reductionist to boil it down like this. I’m comfortable with staging the problem like this because we aren’t considering an ultra specific case here that requires precision.

Yelp is one of those YMMV apps. Absolutely terrible for smaller cities like Albuquerque, NM.

I miss the days when their competitor, Urbanspoon, was really pushing the envelope on a great customer experience and review variety.

This sounds interesting, would you mind going into detail about this? Maybe a quick list?
