    The Russian tanks use an autoloader. One of the reasons they do this, is because it takes one less crewmember to man their tanks.

    But it puts their ammo up in the basket...

    Just do a web search using the phrase “safe sexual positions following a hip replacement” and you will see that there is a large body of work on this topic already published. 🤷‍♂️

    A psycho second grader is probably the right person to determine school policy.

    That is a good idea.

    My mother called them mongoloids. And in her mind it was entirely descriptive not remotely derogatory.

    My mother was a pediatrician. She called them mongoloids as well.

    @George-K horrible disease. Has a different genetic makeup then cutaneous melanoma.

    Metastases from uveal melanoma appear in 8% to 32% of the patients during the first 5 years and in 50% of the patients at 10 years after diagnosis of the primary tumor

    And once there are mets (it’s almost always liver) the prognosis is dismal.

    @mark you need the tool only to disassemble but not too assemble a bike, hence maybe you didn't need it.

    @Friday said in Don't wear vulgar pants.:

    She didn't have to take off her pants in front of the crew. She could have gone to a private place to do it. But I call shenanigans on that "mortified" bit; I honestly don't think that really bothered her.

    She is somewhat "famous" in Asia, and if you see how she dresses regularly, there is no way she was mortified. LOL

    @jon-nyc said in Elon Musk to Buy Country Music:

    I don’t know the genre too well but I have heard it’s gotten a bit too much like pop. Putting the joke aside, is that the complaint of the savingcountrymusic people?

    I know the genre well.. there has always been a vocal few in the industry who complain if the music changes. According to them, anything that doesn't sound a certain way is not "country music". I have always both understood their point, but completely disagreed with it. Fans tastes change. I know Alan Jackson wa ts everything to sound like George Jones, but damn... George Jones' music changed and evolved too.

    They have a point that Beyonce or KISS or I sent your favorite genre specific artist here are likely to not be able to pull off a country tune, and any genre will be hurt by going that far off course, there needs to be room for growth and change. In the end, the listening audience will continue to determine what is and is not country music, not Alan Jackson.

    You said it good. Music tastes change, and what I listened and call "country" or "rock" or "jazz" will change. I may (or may not) like the way it changed, but it will change.

    I think that musical "taste" is set between the ages of 12-25. What you listen to during that time pretty defines how you define the various types of music.

    @Axtremus Cool graphic.

    When I was in INdia, there was a lot of envy towards China.

    There seemed to be a question: "why are we not china?" (in terms of economy, world influence, etc.)

    @xenon said in Advancement in hydrogen fuel cells:

    What are the main sources of hydrogen fuel? (At the most basic level, I know next to nothing about this).

    I've heard it can be produced, but that then will just mirror the current energy infrastructure like electric cars.

    I think that most use steam reforming even the small units now becoming more technology friendly. I have an aquaintance who has done work with this company.
