TIL that even though Society in Manchester looks a little steep for wheel chairs, at least we have some railings unlike Canada
To prevent this….

In Oregon at least, there are architectural design rules for wheelchair access ramps.pinball1970 said:Reminded me of a bar in Manchester ,If this is wheel chair access I would not fancy it.
It’s a cool bar, however looking at the images it looks a bit steep.
I went July last year when we came out of lock down and that was the first thing that hit me.

And, the fun continues. Today I learned that one of their corporate scripts deleted the executable for Notepad++ that I've been using for years. Not only that but once I restored it, all of my open file tabs were gone. So now, I need to regularly back up that software and my sessions. They must really love paying me to work less.Borg said:Another fun game that they've introduced is wiping out my new tab page in my Chrome browser. My new tab page looks something like this:
![]()
Then, about a month ago, they introduced a bunch of registry settings that removed all of my shortcuts and blanked out the entire page. So now when that happens, I have to go into the registry and delete all of their scripted keys in order to get the page back. For some reason, they don't do this to their Edge browser. Probably because it automatically wipes out all of my settings whenever it's updated. It's a constant war with these people.
Consider installing a virtual machine, especially if it is your hardware!Borg said:I then have to spend time undoing their handywork.
I do have one that isn't on their approved software list. I installed it for a project that I worked on where I was the only person who could figure out how to get around the corporate blocks to meet the customer's security requirements.Tom.G said:Consider installing a virtual machine, especially if it is your hardware!
I went there today just to check. It is steep! Very pretty though now the trees have grown.BillTre said:In Oregon at least, there are architectural design rules for wheelchair access ramps.
They cover the incline, how long an inclined ramp goes without a landing (to rest I guess) and how large the landing areas should be. (I was invovled in several campus building design/redesign projects.)
It is not on his wiki page. I think that is the sort of thing they highlight.kyphysics said:Will Smithgot into MITwith near perfect SAT score.
eta: Google seems divided over this fact...did he or didn't he get into MIT?
If he called him Maxwell C. Hammer, no-one could touch him.BillTre said:I've decided that he should have a kid named Maxwell S. Hammer.
Thanks. Now I'm going to have that song going round in my head for the next three days...DrGreg said:If he called him Maxwell C. Hammer, no-one could touch him.

Hmmm...I dunno. I've heard interesting facts about celebs (sometimes revealed from their own mouths on TV interview shows) that weren't on their Wiki pages, but in this specific case, I think you're right.pinball1970 said:It is not on his wiki page. I think that is the sort of thing they highlight.

"My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college."
Free thinking out of what? You don't know cosmology. That's a fact. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you do not want to learn, then probably this is not the right place for you. But if you do, just listen to those who know, and thare are a lot of those people here.CultQuantum said:free-thinking

Facts in cosmological creation, you have a point @@weirdoguy said:Ok, so you definitely are not interested in facts. Good luck with that.
Perhaps, but then why are you bothering with it at all?CultQuantum said:Cosmology is basically a defunct pseudo science.
Simply posited a question, it was offensive, deserving of a thread ban or whatever and I just got here.Tom.G said:Perhaps, but then why are you bothering with it at all?
Uninformed personal speculation is not "free-thinking". It's just uninformed personal speculation, no matter how much the speculator would like to believe otherwise.CultQuantum said:No free-thinking allowed
No, you posted personal speculation, were told it was personal speculation and the PF rules don't allow that, and kept on with it anyway.CultQuantum said:Simply posited a question
You signed up to the PF rules, including the rule about no personal speculation, when you became a member. Enforcement of the rules that you signed up to is not "hostile". It's part of how these forums work.CultQuantum said:Such a hostile community.
Not in the science forums here. The purpose of the science forums here at PF is not to discuss personal opinions. It is to help people understand what mainstream scientific theories actually say. We have found from long experience that making uninformed speculations is not a good way to do that. That's why the PF rules don't allow that.CultQuantum said:where then are people allowed to express their opinion about dark matter
