This reminds me strongly on what has happened in China until? 2008.

Isn’t the “especially” part an injection which could be left out, so essentially: “A panther is a large wild cat, […], with black fur”?

No, I definitely don’t think that’s funny being allowed to ‘treat’ people after ‘passing’ a weekend seminar.

Wow, an entire weekend!

OK. I didn’t intend to sound aggressive.

I just stated that there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money. I am impressed that Pathfinder 1 was actually built.

I don’t think that the Imperial Star Destroyer qualifies as air ship.

The article states Pathfinder 1 is 124 m long, but does not say that its a 1:10 model. However, Cargolifter CL160 would have been 260 m long.

Not as large as the Cargolifter, which has only been built as 1:8 model for testing, but still impressing.

As it is an old desk, the inlay was most likely linoleum, which is similar to the PVC mostly used nowerdays for floors, but, however, is made from eco-friendly material.

Of course, the Brits were on the wrong lane.

Productive research is also hard to imagine with such coding practice either.

Yes, it was a course on finite deformation material models. And no, you do really, really not want to declare each and every variable in your material subroutine globally for the whole finite element program.

Yes. He really thought it was efficient and would avoid errors if literally all variables were defined in a single Matlab function he called at the beginning of the script. We students all thought: “Man, are you serious?” As we didn’t want to debug such a mess, in our code, we ignored what he was doing and kept using local variables.

I’ve once had a course involving programming and the lecturer rewrote the code, which we were usually using at our institute, making ALL variables global. - Yes, also each and every loop counter and iterator. 🤪

I don’t believe them as long as they don’t find copies oft “Sims 3” too.
