Oh, now I get it. 😄

I'm sitting here thinking, 'wasn't I just on the music thread?' That's pretty cool!

I don't know if it is 'main purpose', but let's not forget that mulching done in the fall is in large part to keep the soil from thawing prematurely. If not mulched and you have a couple of early warm days in the spring, you run the risk of root growth beginning which can then be damaged by a subsequent freeze.

That's true. Although I more had in mind exploratory missions where we seem to get all the information we need about their structure. Why not? I would think something stealthy would be able to avoid my sight from 250 miles away.

Those are really nice! Where did you get the wood? Tree in your yard or elsewhere? Did you start with the bark still on? That bow tie is perfectly fitted! I built a bench with through tenons once and know how hard it is to be that precise (mine wasn't as good). 😁

Yes I made the cuts with a router (they are supposed to be reminiscent of a comet). For the circle I tapped a finishing nail into the board, used a Dremel to cut a small groove on the router base for a way to 'lock into' the nail, then just moved the router around the nail. Then I clamped a straight edge on the base so I could make the straight cuts. One of the things I like about these projects is I always seem to have to do something I've not done before. It was fun to wire the lamp, including a toggle switch I added.

Thanks iNow! Good call on the woods! Exactly right. Damn you've been busy. You are probably also collecting new tools as you go along. That's one of my favorite parts about new projects. 😁

Thanks! Although to be fair, I pushed all the magazines off the end table so I had a spot to place the lamp. 😁 The bulbs that represent the flames also flicker so it gives a nice effect.

Thanks! There are two more who are hiding, along with the rest of our menagerie. 😃

Okay, I know this one is a bit of a stretch as a "woodworking" project, but I did have to make the base out of wood. 😁 I am going to be a grandfather again, the first grandchild that is a boy, and the parents are decorating his room in a space motif. So I found plans for this lamp and made it. Pretty simple and I think WAY cool! 😀

We certainly don't have stealth on any of our spacecraft. Shoot, I can see the ISS from my front yard. They could be there to show themselves to each other rather than to us. Perhaps a signaling device. Same reason you don't get clear pics of jets flying at altitude. Sure, why not? Maybe due to the infrequent encounters and videos. Squirrels fall out of trees on a regular basis but I've actually never seen a video of the event.

I am unsure why taking the position that there are more than 2 sexes is considered 'woke', 'pc', 'enlightened', etc. What has been said by anyone that makes the position 'woke'? It looks to me as if there is simply a difference of opinion.

So Bill Gates has lost the courage to live and has motivation equal to 0? I think the evidence tells us otherwise.

Please don't use me as a vehicle for spewing your anger and venom.

I think you are going to find yourself all alone in your particular definition of sex. I'm not sure anyone else besides you would say my three year old granddaughter and my wife are not female. Not to mention that every birth certificate issued in the entire world, under the category of "sex", will have the entry "Not Applicable".

From everything I've read, leaves are great for mulch and you can use 3 - 6 inches on your planting beds. I've never heard they depleted soil nitrogen. If they did I assume that all forests would have a nitrogen deficiency. Leaves are also great to till into the soil, but if you add too much (which is never defined) you can tie up nitrogen as it is breaking down.

It's iNow's thread. His decision.

How so? Can you define what you mean by "value"?

I cannot imagine the US going to war with either China or Russia unless the attack is against the US directly. On the other hand I would expect substantial assistance to Ukraine. We did it with Afghanistan (and lots of other places) and supporting the targets of Russia has been a successful response. With respect to Taiwan I'm just not sure. It is not difficult to understand China's position that Taiwan is already part of China and they are finally getting around to bringing the province under control.

Thanks for all of this, including the calculators!

So you are calculating speed by using the time as measured in one frame and the distance as measured in a different frame?

I am not very knowledgeable of the details so please excuse any foolish questions, but don't the astronauts calculate their distance to the distant star to be much shorter than 100 light years, thus making their calculation of average speed to be something less than c?

Can you please expand on this? I'm not sure what you mean.

I can just picture the person who took it, getting all excited thinking 'did I just get that?!?!'
