Do you ever comment on the subject instead of the posters' sanity and mental acuity, neither of which you are qualified to judge anyway ?
Yeah, I am not responding to you, I am responding at you.
Just been too much old Man. We didn't ask for your fucking evaluations.
You are getting to the point I might just retaliate. I am USian, I live war.

Curistor Doom hasn't been paying attention. John Larkin's daughter has been mentioned here from time to time. Motorcycles have also been known to come into it.
Nothing wrong with motorcycles (with proper training - much like pilots)

Bragging about your children is not so good though...you tend to get
ignored.

Nowadays, one batch of squirrels with a stripe on their tails is

were by the classic definition.
(Except humans of course. We can't have species.)
From 10th grade biology, the classical definition is that a male and
female are of the same species if they can have fertile offspring. So
dogs and wolves are the same species, but horses and donkeys aren't.
That was the classic definition. No longer.
The classical definition never made much sense to begin with as there
are edge cases (horses and donkeys don't produce universally infertile
offspring, even) and the more time went on the more edge cases that were
found.

The issue is the definition of "species." The people who are in the
endangered-species industry need to identify as many small populations
of endangered species as possible. It's good for business, so they do.

It made sense because it defined a coherent population that could and
did inter-breed. A local variety or cluster would continuously blend
into the main population. The extinction of a small sub-group was no
important genetic loss.
Except to those in the extinction industry.
Of course there can be corner cases, but cats don't breed with
turtles.

Waiting to see what path Dorian will take.
Waiting for the county to decide if we have to evacuate, or if we are to shelter in place.
Waiting for yet another extended Power failure.
It figures that I will have a doctor's appointment during the upcoming mess.

John Larkin is a gullible twit, always ready to fall for that kind of campaign.

So far, it has just been heavy bands of rain, but the high winds are still a little to the south of me. The county didn't open any shelters.
Ahh well, you might get lucky!!

Were you designing precision control loops back in '96? Circuits
that are only improved on these days by better thermal sensors than
was available then.

In 96 I was mainly working on measurement. Not thermal.
Do you even know what a control loop is?
lol. Is there anyone on here that doesn't?
I can't think of any
current contributor that's likely to not know what one is.
Perhaps
there's one that isn't familiar with PID, but I expect everyone
is.

The area was originally some kind of drainage basin for positively huge watershed. Not good for building residential, but excellent for construction of a shipping port, which was its original purpose, it was totally industrial. Not exactly sure of the time frame, but the booming expansion of the city infrastructure and the population boom was relatively recent, like past 40 years or something. They did have a system of buffer retention reservoirs, to hold excess water in the event of storms or floods, and buy time for natural drainage to remove the water and prevent flooding. But the system was corrupted by the greed of the real estate developers with lots of housing constructed in high risk areas and fudged estimates of their flood abatement efficacy. End result was of course gazillions of bucks of damage and looking for a federal taxpayer bailout to fix it.
New Orleans is mostly below sea level. A hundred years of building
levees and pumping out groundwater and building ranch-style houses has
side effects. Hurricanes have been around forever.
Right, NOLA is pretty safe if the dykes are properly maintained. They'll probably need to be enlarged to account for sea level rise eventually.
