When I have been forced to use textbooks for my work in recent years, I find myself instinctively trying to hit Ctrl-F.fresh_42 said:But you miss all the things you found on your way during these hours! I simply think that it is knowledge that didn't come to stay.
I assume you can change the order by drag and drop to get it back from the list to the task bar. Yep.WWGD said:Windows 10 seems to have decided to hide battery setings on the task bar ?? Found out at the last minute battery was terminally low.
Into it. Way too curious how they solved the problem with the distances.Ivan Seeking said:If you saw an alien spacecraft land near you, which way would you run, towards it or away from it?
Drag from where? What list?fresh_42 said:I assume you can change the order by drag and drop to get it back from the list to the task bar. Yep.
WWGD said:Drag from where? What list?
Yes, but I looked for it and could not find it. Maybe I overlooked it. Thanks, will try again tomorrow.fresh_42 said:

If it keeps raining, the doormat will get soaked and it will splatter mud when they do that.WWGD said:I was sitting at the cafe facing the door and it was raining outside. People would walk in and do a small jump to wipe their feet.
Then I won't consider it a small homage ;).Keith_McClary said:If it keeps raining, the doormat will get soaked and it will splatter mud when they do that.
Thank you, oh, witch doctor. Battery button is magically on display today. Which doctor taught you to be a witch doctor?fresh_42 said:I assume you can change the order by drag and drop to get it back from the list to the task bar. Yep.

I would not run in any direction. I would quietly assess the situation and slowly approach the object; circling for a better inspection, if safe.Ivan Seeking said:If you saw an alien spacecraft land near you, which way would you run, towards it or away from it?
And you would know if it isn't safe because... you know an alien anti-gluon beam when you see one?Klystron said:I would not run in any direction. I would quietly assess the situation and slowly approach the object; circling for a better inspection, if safe.
Are you betting [your life] that they are not hostile based on logic, or is the temptation too great to resist, no matter the consequences?fresh_42 said:Into it. Way too curious how they solved the problem with the distances.
We believe that physics is the same in the entire universe. I think that biological mechanisms are, too. Nobody would take the effort to contact a pale blue dot in the suburbs with a hostile attitude. There are easier targets nearby. Therefore they will brag with their car and ask for beer.Ivan Seeking said:Are you betting [your life] that they are not hostile based on logic, or is the temptation too great to resist, no matter the consequences?
According to Whitley Strieber they like strawberry ice cream.fresh_42 said:We believe that physics is the same in the entire universe. I think that biological mechanisms are, too.

Your original question stipulates the observer knows the UFO is 'alien' without explaining how.Ivan Seeking said:And you would know if it isn't safe because... you know an alien anti-gluon beam when you see one?

Ah! That is why they are far more often seen in the US than in Germany. We do not have so much space, and chances are high that they get a ticket for parking in the wrong place.Ivan Seeking said:The license plates
Some how they are only detected by drunks or people with apparently mental issues.fresh_42 said:Ah! That is why they are far more often seen in the US than in Germany. We do not have so much space, and chances are high that they get a ticket for parking in the wrong place.
And every major air force in the world. ;)WWGD said:Some how they are only detected by drunks or people with apparently mental issues.
Yours is a favorite retort from 'repairmen' concerning service cost. Experienced repair people often charge double not only for the original job but for the inevitable returns and secondary fixes, as if a repair made the repairman responsible for the continuing life of the object.WWGD said:How do you explain to people , re IT work and other wise " It only took you 2 hours to fix, why do you charge so much?". Well, then take it to someone less qualified/experience and wait for 3 days, with questionable results.
