If you want to reign supreme, you must sit on the throne.

What do you do if you need a French guy on weekdays?

Redhat 5.2 in 1998. I think I bought a box set from CompUSA.

Totally respect you for saying you don't get it. Way better to admit what you don't know.

In a vacuum, you would be correct that things falling to earth would just keep accelerating until they hit the ground. But we have air which slows things down. Everything that falls in earths atmosphere reaches it's terminal velocity if it falls from a high enough height.

One way to think of it is to think about how anything falling in air has to push the air below it out of the way to fall. If I just jump out of a plane, I'm going to accelerate to a velocity that will likely kill me. Now if I bring a parachute, I'm bringing more weight, but I'm also able to push against a lot more air and the amount of air I push against will slow me enough that even though I'm still falling, my terminal velocity is low enough that I can survive.

The more air something can push against in comparison to it's mass, the lower it's terminal velocity. That being said everything falling in our atmosphere will reach a point where gravity can't pull it through the air resistance any faster. The force of gravity and air resistance are balanced. That is it's terminal velocity.

I've heard prayer warrior since I was a kid in the 80s. The idea is that the prayer warrior is fighting a spiritual battle instead of a physical one. How is it a battle? Well when they start praying, Satan will start to attack with doubts and fears. So it's a fight to preserve and continue praying.

All garbage as far as I'm concerned, but to them is has nothing to do with changing the meaning of words. It's the best way they have to describe how hard it is to pray for hours on end for multiple days when you have a brain telling you that this is silly.

You've got to XFCE it MATE. It makes you a nerd like the rest of us.

I do like ideas that are ridiculous and not practical. :-)

The problem as I see it is a violation of expectations. If I "buy" something, there is no expectation that I will be deprived of that thing in the future unless, (A) it's a consumable and I e used it up, (B) it's capable of wearing out and I've done that myself, (C) it's a subscription service where you pay for the time You've used it.

In the case of digital assets that I've been sold, it can't be used up and it can't wear out. I did not subscribe to the digital asset, I bought it.

Violating the expectation of a purchase and then not fully making the buyer whole is trying to change the transaction type to a subscription after the fact.

If the digital content providers want to pull these kinds of tricks, then they can't tell us we are buying the content. They must be up front and tell us it's a rental whose length is undetermined. The rental may be for our whole lives, or not.

Anything else is a bait and switch and makes people angry.

Not if it's ground based and pointing up at a reflector that spreads it's light out.

So how many lumens? And no mention of the cri.

I wonder how it would work to mount a convex reflector to the tower and then shine a massive LEP at it.

It is a few years down the road but I agree. I talked to a guy at the conference who had only used Studio 5000 for the first time at the conference. The whole plant he supported was running on MicroLogix and used RSLogix 500. Now I think they can keep running even after the software is EOL, but some places will be forced to upgrade to stay in regulatory compliance.

Maybe that's what you do when you want manipulate some more sales.

You know Greg hates football.

I edc the i1R2 from Olight and the Sofirn SP10 Pro. I'd say the SP10 Pro gets the most use both in times on and hours used.
