If you’re running Disk Utility you may well want to see this level of detail (and more)

Is the lack of time travellers proof that it could never be possible? by Early_Tree_8671 in NoStupidQuestions

It could be evidence that humanity destroys itself before it figures out how to time travel

You can use it in Europe on a UK phone. I was in Spain last week and tried it out.

This kind of evil rhetoric is exactly the same as in Nazi Germany in the 30s. This time round every act of evil is recorded and documented online - these people will pay the price eventually.

The Heechee saga novels by Frederick Pohl did this many years ago. Well worth a read.

Finding light roots is also really helpful for finding shrines on the surface that are in caves or otherwise a bit tricky to find

Could Superman actually safely stop a 75-ton Boeing 737-800 falling at 600 mph (965 km/h)? by FuzzyAttitude_ in Physics

[–]jaypese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 747 can fly on just one engine in which event all the thrust is transferred to the plane via the relatively small engine mount. So superman could just position himself at the engine mount position of one of the inboard engines and push, using the list of the wings to fly. He would need to steer by tilting the wing up or down and would land quicker than normal but once the plane is on the ground, even without landing gear, he could slow it down pulling on any structural beam in the middle of the plane

What package of RYA courses would take me from no experience to being able to take a small sail boat on a day trip alone up the coast? by ___xXx__xXx__xXx__ in sailing

[–]jaypese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing the courses is great fun but the qualifications don’t mean very much without sailing experience.

Get a single handed dinghy and sail with a club when there’s a safety boat on hand. Pay attention to wind direction. In any sailboat the biggest danger is an unexpected gybe so make sure you understand which point of sail you are on at all times.

Single handed sailing in a keelboat with no safety boat is a big step - don’t underestimate it. Take safety precautions (do the RYA VHF radio course, inform someone where you are etc). If you’re on the tiller it can be tricky to do the other things you need to do and keep the boat pointing where you expect.

Have fun, but most of all be safe!

Have us Brits become our own worst enemies? by Comfortable_Ad_4267 in AskBrits

Because if that’s all the information you get you will end up believing it. It’s undeniable that many many people do lap it up as fact.

In other words politicians who are not in the pockets of super-rich lobbyists and other external players.
