Two seems to be some kind of optimum number once you reach a certain
level of reliability, more than one and less than three. Like
long-range airliners nowadays. The four-jets are mostly money-losers
now; lumbering flying gas-tanks that carry passengers as a hobby

Prediction of economic consequences: airlines will retire almost all of
the older four-jets still in their inventory like the A340 and the
747-400. Even with somewhat lower fuel costs they won't be worth keeping
running.

Maybe some A380s will stay in service. End of an era, perhaps

Three layers of skin.

The lungs are asymmetrical, the right has 3 lobes and the left has two.

It's actually a bit arbitrary to say it is two lungs rather than five. If you have cancer they typically remove a lobe rather than a lung, depending on where it is. Same with the heart. It's more like two hearts which share some common supporting structure and are coordinated. One supplies the lungs with blood to be oxygenated and the other supplies the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

Even the heart is supplied with oxygenated blood via vessels, but the lungs not. They oxygenate themselves, all five of them.

E.g. saying that a single cell a microsecond after conception is the

Saying that a 9-month fetus one second before birth is not a
full-fledged human is absurd.

But this implies there must have been a precise time like e.g. 7:32 PM
on last Thursday that the fetus transitioned from not-human to human,
which is also absurd

For planes it depends not only on reliability but on having adequate

Planes with four engines have much more graceful degradation. Lose one engine arrive a half hour late. Lose two engines and arrive an hour late. Lose three engines and arrive two hours late. Lose four engines and you'll be up there all day.

Nuclear power plants often have three pumps where only one is needed.

The Bernie fans aren't Trump fans.

And the Dems do have a weapon which you don't seem to noticed. If Trump had persuaded the US to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic as effectively as South Korea did, it would have killed many fewer Americans than it has so far. The South Korean death rate is at 4 per million population, and not going up. The US is at 45 deaths per million people, and rising rapidly. That's 14788 people. If the South Korea example had been followed, it might have been as low as 1250.

And the US is still clocking up 30,000 new infections per day. This isn't making Trump look good (not that Trump seems to have noticed).

Why would I whine about it? The US press has spent the last hundred years equating socialism with communism, so Bernie's professed socialism always made him a risky candidate.

Biden's got one great virtue - he isn't Trump. It would be nice if he were a more fluent speaker, but he's lasted a very long time in politics despite this apparent disadvantage, so he presumably has other skills.

Trump's only virtue seems to be his fluency - the content is rubbish, and some people have noticed.

By which John Larkin means that I don't flatter him by agreeing with his silly ideas.

I certainly wouldn't want to live his life. I'm in pain 24/7, and can barely walk, but I still look for the humor of everyday life. I tell a lot of jokes when face to face, rather than try to put everyone down. What's the use in that? Anyone can destroy, but it takes brains and a positive outlook to create and build.

Fuck off you fucking mosquito!

If you can't say anything useful, what place do you have commenting on
other people?

Fair dinkum, almost off of your twenty posts from the past 24 hours
have been needlessly bashing someone you've taken a dislike to.

Don't you see what a fucking worm you are?

Seriously, I normally try to moderate my language, but if you were
standing in front of me now I'd be reaching for a baseball bat to deck you.

Blocked, and good riddance

Not that he knows anything about it.

So do I. Michael Terrell doesn't get my jokes, but I'm not going to move into the kind of slap-stick comedy that he might be able to notice.

>I tell a lot of jokes when face to face, rather than try to put everyone down. What's the use in that? Anyone can destroy, but it takes brains and a positive outlook to create and build.

John Larkin seems to be able to pretty well with very little in the way of brains.

If John Larkin is being rude about me, I've got a perfect right to be rude right back.

I'm not posting fatuous misinformation about a important subject in the way that John Larkin is. You may not feel any moral obligation to object to misinformation, and the average worm may not either, but I'm not a worm. I'm less confident about you.

Seriously un-Australian. A cricket bat might be culturally appropriate. I've had a hockey stick or two around the house for most of my life, but the last of them stayed in the Netherlands.

I couldn't be more grateful.

The irony is that he quit this group several years ago because the group did not talk about electronics enough

Not entirely accurate. I've always been happy to join in off-topic threads, but I think what was worrying me at the time was that the discussions weren't all that constructive or amiable.

They haven't got much better since then.
