It means that I spent a long time trying to put a very simple thought experiment in ever simpler terms and no matter how simple I made it, you couldn't wrap your head around the most basic parts. So, probably not the best judge of how a debate is going.
Is more than 1/2 the earth exposed to sunlight when the tilt changes? Didn't know that. Maybe we could just do white cars with white upholstery that might fix it.
That sounds like something you need to research then if you don't know. Increasing your knowledge is always a good thing. I'd be more than happy to guide you through your learning process if you want.
We can start out with sentence structure. Can you identify the mistakes in the post of yours I created?
No thank you. I'm trained as an engineer. It's a requirement that I'm not good at English or spelling.
Ronv, why not note that in your sig line. I enjoy my talks most with engineers and actual scientists. What is your field of expertise?
Computer peripherals. Mostly disk drives and tape drives. Most of my time has been spent in management.
I owned a machine shop and made systems for engineers. Still climate is different. I studied it first to be a pilot. The FAA test is stressful for those not really up on the topic. I made wafer cleaning machines for an engineer. I never made drives. I did make wave guides though.
Thinkprogress? Really? The National Inquirer and Sacramento Bee are bastions of scholarly enlightenment compared to that hapless POS!!
Frankly your charm is more valuable than things I happen to know. Also when you are my age, you will know so much more than today it will astonish you. You will be the wisest woman posting. You are there now by the way.
Yeah. I had a lot of fun. Always loved my jobs. This was my first one. About 8 megabytes as I recall. And the last one. Not quite a terabyte.
I feel lucky in a way to have owned the machine shop. I have some inventions to my credit too. It was very costly to keep paying shops to make my machines so i started buying my own machines, such as a good quality lathe, a good quality milling machine, a good drill press and an automatic cut off saw. I was buying tooling at a fast rate as well. Some of my jobs were so tricky to make i got a lot more skill on those hard jobs than routine work. Such as a part for a manufacturer of paper box machines that entailed a device that i will try to describe. Very hard but let's try. Imagine a casting of a ductile iron part. And it has the largest diameter part as a tube that has to be machined. A bore has to be made down the center (keep in mind something like a thick walled tube, say 3/8 inch thick walls, and the hole must be bored to very tight specifications. An error of maybe 2/10,000 is all that is allowed. A lot of work calls for accuracy to 1,000 of an inch so this was much tighter. And on this cast tube, at 90 degrees about in the center is a cast knob. Shaped like a log. And it has to be also machined on it's diameter to say 1,000 of an inch but perpendicular to the tube to say 2 10,000. That is very difficult unless you know what you are doing. We were not able to scrap out any parts. My shop got the job due to our reputation. Wave guides for Radar were not as tricky but involved silver soldering copper rectangular tubing to machined brass plates that were a rectangle in shape, about 1/8 inch thick. After we made the parts, we silver soldered the copper to the brass and had it silver plated. We did not make the following but we certainly could have if they had been ordered. These do not happen to be our parts but we could make all of the following. We made parts for this company. We did not make the devices shown in the photo though.
