Ah, but Sagan would make you feel quite at ease. He'd even laugh at your "billions and billions" joke.

Carl Sagan is my answer to the question "Who is the person you would most like to have dinner with, alive or dead?" I'll be looking forward to this documentary.

Yeah. I've got an 850 score and haven't carried a balance on a credit card in 20 years. I pay no attention to the interest rate of my credit cards.

I suppose if I need to get another mortgage someday the good score might come in handy, but otherwise it serves no real purpose in my life.

Yes. Your turn signal should always be visible well before your foot touches the brake pedal.

This is so rare these days that it's very frustrating.

It's beautiful. I've got a cool atmospheric shot of that same view as the wallpaper of my phone. I didn't know where it was until I saw this picture. Thanks for posting.

People in wheelchairs need a sink that sticks out further so they can reach it while in their chair. You'll notice on such sinks that there is clear space underneath for the wheelchair to roll under it. The sink is also at a lower height than non-ADA sinks.

Tom Bihn has a loyal following (I've got multiple travel bags from them), but there are other options from other good manufacturers. You many want to also ask in the sub r/onebag for other suggestions as this topic is covered a lot there.

The size may be dictated by the size of your husband's laptop. The bigger his laptop, the larger a backpack needed to carry it.

I'm a fan of Tom Bihn, and they have several options (the Synik 22 and Synapse 19 or 25) that are smaller backpacks. They can accommodate laptops up to certain sizes. I like a smaller backpack and use a Synik 22 which holds my 14" laptop and has great organization for carrying other things. Their quality is top-notch.

There should be an adjustment you can make on the motor assembly to increase the closing force. The resistance just seems to sometimes overcome that setting and reverse the door. If you increase that closing force a bit it should resolve the problem.

It should be a small screw or knob that can be turned to increase/decrease the closing force.

It's there intentionally to provide a stop for people walking downhill who have trouble slowing down. Also to prevent cyclists/skateboarders from abusing the hill.

That ramp is way too steep to be intended for wheelchair use, and it would legally require at least a couple of landings on the way down as well.

Because all the other airlines are so much better.

For more durable and high-quality items you may want to look to drafting supplies - more robust construction and replaceable blades.

I have no knowledge of this company or their product, aside from seeing their commercials.

But man, is LoveSac a terrible name.

Festool is worth a premium price. The tools are excellent quality and thoughtfully designed. However, the amount of premium over good-quality alternate tools is probably not entirely justified.

If you are a professional contractor/craftsman who uses your tools heavily and make a living off them, then by all means invest in Festool. And if you just want extremely high-quality tools and are willing to pay the high price for them, then they are a great choice. I'm very happy with the several Festool tools I own.

But those alternative brands are also high-quality tools. You can buy those and be very happy with them. For the average home DIYer or home craftsman they are all that is needed, particularly if money is a factor. They will all be BIFL quality for typical amateur usage.

He asked about interstellar colonization.

Plus, our Solar System has no suitable candidates for permanent human relocation.

>Think we'll see any hint of interstellar colonization in our lifetime?

No. There is no known inhabitable place within any realistic distance from Earth, and technology is a long way from getting anywhere near interstellar transport, if ever.

Another person that thinks introversion is a defect that needs to be fixed.

Then when you "log on" you are providing your login info directly to the scammer.

>I won't be able to see this event, but it's obviously clear that it will eventually occur.

That's not clear at all. The distances in space are enormous, and we don't even have a theoretical solution for traveling them.

You don't specify what size backpack you are looking for, and what kind of carrying it needs to do. Those are essential details.

But I can recommend Tom Bihn backpacks. Very high quality and durable backpacks of numerous varieties and capacities, as well as other travel bags. I've got bags of theirs I've been using for more than 15 years that still look good as new.

They're not cheap, and some don't care for the functional aesthetics, but they have a very loyal following.

Yep. This is one of the falls on the 10 Falls Loop, so there are many more beautiful falls to look at along this fantastic trail.
