Being tall is very contraproductive to fast rotations. Too much body mass is far away from centre of gravity. But swimming, high jump, javelin or discus throwing,... long arms and legs are very welcome. doing an inchworm exercise 1 1 Link to comment

Popular Post chattius 2,531 Posted May 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hänsel und Gretel -> Brockengespenst / Brocken spectre In german mythology witches meet at the Brocken at Walburgis-night. The Brocken is the highest mountain in northern Germany. It is a lonely top with high wind speeds and very cold. We had a search and rescue there when I was at army. Tourists visited the top at storm and got lost. The Brockengespenst is nowadays known as being the shadow of the watcher on foggy foreground with the sun in the back. 2 Link to comment

This chemical reacts to oxygen and makes the purple stuff. The snails are again endangered because of a ship paint which causes female snails to turn male. females turning male...

Popular Post chattius 2,531 Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 oops -> plan B If Plan A goes oops it's always good to have a plan B. OOPS is a company which sells reserve parachutes, you know when plan A, the main chute; isn't opening. 51 times leaving helicopters or planes without landing. 23 with a parachute, 15 of them free fall. Allways planed and never an oops. If you can calculate that makes 28 jumps from helicopters into the north or baltic sea as basic training for rescue diving. 1 1 Link to comment

But we normally do an extra check ourself. Plan_9-> RTLinux There is actually an operating system based on UNIX and also by BellLabs called Plan9. It has many eastereggs from this movie and others. No operating system for me at work. I have to use real time operating systems. If a sensor says it is to hot or too much static, the triggers for the explosives should be powered off. Just imagine windows decides to do updates and other background loading while a sensor needs interaction in microseconds.. 1 1 Link to comment
