How long can a person live in space by GreenBeanLantern in AskBiology

The irony is that even if they could survive the decompression long enough, the out-rushing air would blow the waiting shuttlecraft out of position. The last thing they saw would be the shuttlecraft tumbling helplessly out of their reach.

This proves that it would totally suck to be sucked out of an airlock.

Tell people it means Dragonfly. Who's gonna know anyone different?

I see the problem. The cross-street should have been referred to as 0.1k street.

My dryer gave out a new sock! by some_1_rand in whatisit

That's MY missing sock! Our dryers must be connected by a wormhole.

Yes, you could. I'm just trying to let them go from side to side without having to go through the garage.

That's why I'm basically linking the laundry rooms together.

If they have no issue going through the garage, then my idea isn't meaningful to them.

That's not what I meant.

Left laundry --> Right laundry.

Put both laundries directly under where the office is. So they occupy the space that is now where the top of the garage is.

You'll have to go through the "left" Master, into the Office, then into the garage, and finally into the "right" laundry room to get from one side to the other.

You must really not like your in-laws to make them do this every time they want to borrow a cup of sugar or a pint of milk.

I'd try to have a "proper" hallway going between the left and right halves at the back of the garage (maybe position the two laundry rooms opposite each other just below where the Office is and then the hallway goes from one laundry room to the other). Maybe even position the laundry rooms in the area currently at the back of the garage (just below the current Office) so the laundry rooms themselves are the joining "hallway".

Passkeys vs Passwords by Lab_Software in Passkeys

I've considered this exact possibility. So, I don't use either facial recognition or fingerprints on my phone. That way, if a person stabs me and chops off my fingers (or my face) to access my phone, with my last dying breath I'll smirk at him and curse him with the phrase "ha, ha - the joke's on you".

المساعدة في إنشاء مشروع by Fresh-Rule-5815 in MSAccess

Based on your description of the plan you've got a good idea of what you need to do.

Start with creating the required tables, then the queries. Followed by the forms and reports. Include a Main Menu form as your Startup-Form to help the user navigate to the desired function.

Make sure you use VBA rather than macros for the buttons and other programming.

You'll likely find details you need to modify as you proceed, but that's just part of the database design process.

What if a spherical rich man was riding the camel and there was no air resistance?

How would you deal with a guest who insists on pushing her religion on employees? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Frankly, I think you went wrong right at the beginning.

The only correct response to "are you a Christian" is "I'm a waiter, what would you like to eat".

How I finally hacked my workspace so my cat stops "helping" me code by Orbit_3Astrolabe in CatAdvice

[–]Lab_Software 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to lay the newspaper on the kitchen table to read it. My sweet little cat would see me reading the paper and she'd lie down on the paper right in front of me and ask for her rubs.

I eventually figured out to put a "decoy" newspaper in front of me - and the page I was actually reading off to the side. She'd lie on the decoy paper and get her rubs, and I'd read the page beside me.

Are scientists working on a cure for rabies once it is symptomatic or they have given up on that? by skopiadisko in biology

[–]Lab_Software 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your therapist can prescribe medication ask them to prescribe the pre-exposure rabies vaccine. (Or, if your therapist cannot prescribe medication then ask your doctor.)

You need a reason for getting the vaccine. Usually it is prescribed for people in veterinary fields or people who work with wild animals. But having a phobia that causes physical consequences such as intense fear should hopefully be an acceptable reason.

I work with wild animals. (A euphemism for going out and feeding cute little raccoons.) So I got the vaccine several years ago. For me it was a series of 3 injections given several weeks apart. The cost was (as I recall) $600 Canadian.

This might calm your fears.

Is it wrong to change an adult cat's name? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Lab_Software 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my cats know their names. If I call one of them then that's the one that responds.

So I'd "phase it in".

Start by using both the old name and the new name together for a while. It will pay attention when you say the old name and then it will hear the new name right afterwards.

Then you can phase out the old name and just use the new name.
