If after couple of days your stores are still empty of most staples, it suggests some serious problems higher up in the supply chain.

"The incubation period is typically 1–3 months, but can vary from a few days to more than 1 year [1,4]. Cases of up to 6 years incubation period have been discussed[5]."

And this is specifically in humans, not in animals in general.

There is no test that I know of, but vaccine is very effective even after you got it (but before actual symptoms show up), so if you suspect you're infected, you go and get the shots. Thing is, AFAIK those are quite painful, so it's not something you want to take as prophylaptic unless you're at high risk (e.g. working as a vet).

All this adds up to what I wrote earlier: you get random bat or squirrel bite, tiny enough that you forget about it in moments, and a few months later, you suddenly die.

In the good ol' days, we had this thing called "a phonebook", which was basically a big printed book of alphabetically sorted mappings of surname to phone number and home address...

How phased array antennas respond to jamming is unfortunately beyond my knowledge.

They absolutely aren't considering letting amateur radio use all the spectrum.

I worry about slippery slope it would create. AFAIU, opening up those few MHz out of amateur band would let tens of thousands of commercial station to pop up... and the band would get crowded again, leading to pleads for the amateurs to release couple more MHz, until eventually amateurs are no more in this part of the spectrum.

No. Usually, all you need is to do is to send a signal - any signal - on a frequency you want to jam with enough power to overwhelm the target signal. A directional antenna won't get a milliwatt satellite signal if it starts picking up half a kilowatt of random noise, even if that noise is coming from the side. It's essentially a matter of how much power your jammer radiates and how high you can put it. Whether or not jamming interferes with other radio communication depends on how much of the spectrum your jamming signal covers.

I would object slightly less if they made a model (3D or AI) that captures the whole side of the Moon in high detail, and used that, combined with precise location and date/time, to guide resolving the blob in camera input into a high-resolution rendering *that matches, with high accuracy and precision, what the camera would actually see if it had better optics and sensor*. It still feels like faking things, but at least the goal would be to match reality as close as possible.

I've written some code at a previous job to simplify data entry. The previous method was adding numbers from a stack of papers, with a calculator. I trust my code to add up the numbers on the computer over a human reading them from a printout and entering them in a calculator.

Humans make mistakes. A lot.

When I first realized this, I made a decision to always remember to RTFM, and I mean actually read it. Since then, it helped me in many ways. Some random examples:

- At one of my previous jobs, there was a proprietary source control / issue tracker / timesheeting system that the customer forced on us. Everyone absolutely hated it, considered it clunky and super confusing. One day by chance I realized there's an user manual in the Help menu, which I read end-to-end. And suddenly, I saw the system as easy to use, quite intuitive, and even somewhat likeable. Did wonders for my job satisfaction.

- My ability to use GDB went up an order of magnitude after I read the small book's worth of user manual it ships with. Ever since, I've learned to appreciate Info pages that come with GNU software, and prefer that to skimming man pages.

- When we bought our current car, my wife printed out the manual and I read that cover-to-cover too. Discovered a bunch of tiny little features we would've never thought to look for otherwise.

At this point, I consider the skill of reading a manual end-to-end to be my little superpower :). And I'm deeply disappointed when a product (be it physical or software) doesn't include a proper user's manual.

Also the mouse over text applies very well to this situation as well.

BTW. it happened to me once with sauces - in a KFC, and we're talking about sauces they nominally charge for, that come in small, sealed plastic boxes. I mention I'd like some extra, and the cashier just asks me which ones, and then gives me a total of 6-8, no extra charge. To this day I don't know why they did it.

I think toy trains and real trains scale differently than "toy rockets". A home-made SRM is a more powerful version of fireworks SRMs, and then there's a thin line between home-made SRM design and things you could stack on car or helicopter to fire at things. Not every rocket is a space rocket, and depending on size and cost tradeoffs required, you get more and more complicated designs, creating a spectrum from a home-made 1km rocket to Falcon 9 & stuff.

I'd say that the real problem with rockets is not that they're inherently magical/difficult, but dangerous and costly to develop. We can say a lot about great engineering that went into things like fuel, nozzles, fins, etc. etd. but the same if not more engineering went into internal combustion engines, and I don't see people saying "it's combustion engine science".

Very noticeable if you are like me and run an older smartphone (Galaxy S5, 2014).

Now in this story I'm just an alchemist with no experimental controls, but then again, the experience is not isolated. I'm not saying it's purposeful software slowdowns - maybe it's general bloat + flash memory wearing out? I don't know. But seeing as others report similar cases too, something is going on.
