BBC – Future | External Steel Pipe Shot Blasting Machine

Stevens & Bony 2013: ”Recent research also shows that clouds directly mediate the response of the atmosphere to an external forcing, and they do so on time scales as short as a few hours.¹⁸”

I found it interesting how the two one-named crew members handled it. Ariam ignored Pike’s request to forget the rank, while Saru said his and felt the need to explain that it was “just Saru” to a bunch of people who mostly knew his one name status anyway.

@Garth Lorca — what’s getting missed here is that the technology in the era in which we watch this entertainment is far more advanced than not only TOS, but also TNG. We can retcon these changes all we want to fit into the original, but there’s absolutely no reason not to update the technology to reflect what we in many cases take for granted in our daily lives, and expand it to depict what we now expect from our on future. It’s ridiculous to limit that vision based on the ideas from over 30-50 years ago. That’s a sure way to lose the interest of new audiences to the franchise.

In February 1968, a vehicle got a thorough cleaning at 2900 Car Wash on Chamberlayne Avenue in Richmond. Automatic car washes were fairly new to the area, with only a half-dozen sites in operation at the time.

Just as in Brumadinho, the dams above the now evacuated areas of Barão de Cocais and another town, Itatiaiuçu, are upstream dams. There are a total of 87 upstream dams throughout Brazil, and all but four have the same safety rating as the collapsed structure — or worse — according to government records.

Many residents of Brumadinho believe that the failure of the company’s warning system cost many lives. In a statement, Vale said the “speed at which the event occurred made it impossible to trigger the sirens.”

It doesn’t have to look like the 1960s but it should reflect what was presented. Holotechnology wasn’t a thing until TNG, replicators for food were merely touched up but greatly expanded upon in TNG. Enterprise, all its flaws aside, managed to strike that balance.

The debate between him and Michael also offered some opportunities for character development. Burnham showed how she has learned her lesson about following orders, after the disastrous consequences from “The Vulcan Hello.” And Pike shows some flexibility here, as Burnham was able to convince Pike to bend the rules enough, in the name of the mission. Although after already getting spotted beaming up to the ship, the damage may have been done.  These kinds of debates over the Prime Directive are nothing new, but with regards to how it was handled by Pike’s landing party, “New Eden” was able to keep it fresh.

❝As Alley notes, several possibilities have been tested – the evidence only supports AGW and says others are not viable❞

It may be nearly two and a half years old now but Vanishing Realms arguably still remains undefeated when it comes to VR melee combat. Making great use of your motion controllers and pitting you against smart enemies that block your attacks, this captures the intensity of a sword fight better than any of its imitators, elegantly avoiding the awkward reality of no haptic feedback. Throw in a bit of archery and some spells and you have a versatile combat system. Early Access progress might be slow, but Vanishing Realms still offers some of the best time you can spend in VR.

General aviation is as much a part of Alaskan lore as bears and ice. The farther north, the more runways take the place of roads—if the pilots are lucky.
