The Potholes run for 226001-227000 revealed only two missing posts. That is excellent performance. The most likely cause of a pothole is deletion by the creator of the post.
The two posts deleted were: 226056 and 226148
I'll run the next series from 227001 - 228000 today.
There were no potholes at all. I don't remember this ever happening before.
I ran the check twice to be sure.

The potholes run for 228001 to 229000 showed 9 ID's missing.
That is a surprisingly high number, after the previous report no missing id's at all.,

For SpaceNut ...
It's been a couple of weeks since you last checked in with us.
I hope your home remodel is going well despite the winter weather there in New Hampshire.

As cold beats down on all of us, it must be putting particular stress on our friends in New Hampshire.
Best wishes for getting through this somehow.
The last news you gave us was that your roof was covered with tarps, and that was just before heavy rains and strong winds reached New Hampshire.

For kbd512....
In the absence of SpaceNut, you are the Admin ....
In the midst of reading a book about small business operations today, I ran across a section about services offered to customers...
Recently GW Johnson has provided a tool (a spreadsheet) that can be used by anyone to compute various scenarios for rotating ships of various designs.
During last Sunday's Google Meeting, we remembered your JavaScript program to do something similar.
The text in the book I was reading gave me a chance to think about the difference. GW's tool is a spreadsheet, and the user has to download the spreadsheet and learn how to use it before it is helpful.
The javaScript program you wrote might be served right from the NewMars server. If you are interested in offering that program as a service, let's think about how it might be done. There are countless examples of such programs on the Internet right now. They run from the web but may well be running inside the browser using JavaScript. That would be a convenient way to offer tools like the rotation calculator, if we can figure out how to do it.
In addition, we would need to figure out where to put the service.
One option is to create a topic for "Tools" or perhaps even a category for Tools.

Calliban's recent observation about membership in this forum inspired me to do a bit of investigating...;

We have posted the Recruiting message every day since May 11, 2021. Apparently we only missed two days.
The days elapsed is 1351 and the posts count is 1349.
In that time we received inquiries from several folks, and of those, five completed the application process.
Of those, none are currently active, but PhotonBytes has returned recently.

I am still here peeking in now and them. The home has finally started to take shape in that the what was a frame now has walls, windows and door plus a roof all in a waiting state for the metal roof and vynil siding.
All rebuild was forced to use current construction codes. Hence upgrade from 2x4 walls to 2x6 of which the code will soon change to 2x8 which is over kill to get insulating value in the walls.

For SpaceNut .... thanks for stopping by and posting about Submarines ...
I hope your home remodel is proceeding despite the challenges of working in the middle of a New Hampshire winter!

If a nuclear submarine were magically transported to Mars, it would require a volume of water in which to immerse itself.
It would use that water bath for cooling and as a source of oxygen.
I assume ??? it would also discharge waste into the water but that might not be done on Earth for tactical reasons.

The link in this story no longer works. Any chance you can find a replacement link? The story itself looks interesting.

For SpaceNut .... your memory is often astonishing!
The paper you remembered is from 2008, and at first glance, it seems to be doing exactly what kbd512 is talking about.
The references you provided are to the top level of the institute web site.
If anyone would like to see the paper, here is a direct link:

Update 2025/02/04 .... For SpaceNut .... the article at the link below is about poverty and how it is harder to break out in America than in peer nations.
https://www.vox.com/policy/397659/cutti … wtab-en-us
One result that I found surprising is that it doesn't make any difference of the poor person is black or white.
There are more black kids who fail to break out of poverty, but the study found that if a black and a white grow up in the same poverty, both will fail to succeed later in life, and not because they fail to work hard.
Working hard isn't the issue, as far as I can tell. The difference appears to be the quality of the support mechanisms that rich kids enjoy that are not available to poor kids.

Hold up again for roof change for overhang and back deck upgrades causing more delay not to mention snow caused as well.

For SpaceNut re #3711 and other posts...
Thanks for checking in!
Best wishes for speedy resolution of the delays! At least we are halfway through winter! Chances of favorable weather are improving, if the tarps can hold out that long.
The question I am asking is how the two methods of acceleration using water compare.
To note that energy is required to accelerate water (either as is or ionized) is a great start.
Let's see some numbers.
I don't know how the competition is going to turn out.
It takes energy to give water molecules the acceleration needed to provide thrust for a space vessel.
It takes energy to split water and then to separately accelerate the hydrogen and oxygen ions.
If we decide up front to compare the two methods, we can set the conditions for the study:
1) Mass of water 1 kg
2) Mass of vessel 1 metric ton
The amount of energy needed is going to be the same. The amount is up to the investigator.
The two methods operate over time periods that differ.
The kinds of acceleration provided differ.
However, the ** total ** acceleration imparted to the vessel should be knowable.
I doubt that the results will be the same, after all the calculations are done.
My question is: Which of these two methods are going to deliver the greater acceleration to the space vessel.

I'm hoping you'll be able to check in with us Sunday evening, if you can spare the time.
We are past the midpoint of winter, and better weather will be coming eventually.

I am surprised by your report of difficulty moving Google from one phone to another.
I just moved Google to a new computer and the process was seamless. Google remembered everything and set it up on the new computer.
I think that I may have chosen synchronize devices somewhere along the line.
You should be able to log into Google on your new phone. I'd be interested in what happened when you tried that.

I think you'll discover that all your account info is saved by Google. Just log into Google with the new phone.
There is a caveat ... I think this is possible if (and only if) you have activated synchronization, which you may not have done.
In any case, please just log into Google using the new phone and see what's there.

The spammer count is a measure of the spammer systems that are beating on the door of every web site around the world. The number of spammer systems beating on the door seems to be variable based upon activity of the regular members.
