If everybody in Spain would be allowed to set up a tent anywhere, it would soon become a mess. So the lawmakers decided to allow camping only on official campsites. Why would you leave your own country with the thought that you might as well break the law in Spain? Is it the idea that you are...
Some years ago, when I was 74 years young, I spent the first camino night in the youth hostel. A perfect solution to start with a short walking day and then have an also short day after that. You are not too old for the youth hostel. Private rooms available!
The problem with Schrōdinger's cat is that it got the Compostela in a tube and that makes it a problem to open rhe tube and see whether the Compostela is inside or not.
As a european living in Europe I have seen lots of terminals with five or six positions to enter a PIN. But they always accept a four digit PIN. If you add leading or trailing zeros to your PIN you make it an other number and it will not work.
My partner has an American debit/credit card which...
Fine. But as a physicist I sometimes try to put things a bit straight. That's not smart and bad for my heart. In mathematics 1 and 1.00 might be the same but that certainly is not true for physics. Lots of people won't believe that but the technicians know and use it.
To Kathar1na:
The two forces that work on the rope have the gravity on, and the movement of the Bfo as origin. Suppose the Bfo is at its highest point when the rope is exactly horizontal, then the gravity pulls the Bfo down but the rope does not feel that force and the rope can not prevent the...
If one goes from one unit to anmother the number of significant digits has to remain the same. So 403 g equals .403 kg or 0.403 kg. The zero up front has no real significance, by the way. If the 3 would be a 0 the idea would be the same--write it down. If you see a distance of 22 km on a...
Wow, am I glad that none of the earlier commenters seems to be working in the business of developing, say, airplanes! One of the problems will be that some are not used to using the metric system for units but apart from that commas and dots as separators between numbers appear to exchange...
Facetime and Skype apparently need more bandwdth on an internet connection. My son lives on Aruba and has an internet connection with a low upload speed. When we talk using What's app there is almost never a real problem, but using Facetime or Skype we often lose our connection and have...
Prisons were more more like dungeons at the time. Let's say: alive in and dead out. The punishment would more often be death by hanging or maybe banishment for life if you were lucky. So, working on a dangerous job could have been the less of a lot of evils.
When I walked this stage in 2017 my age was 75 and I totally agree with all that is said in this message. The first part is, in my opinion, not more boring than other stretches and the whole stage is perfectly doable. Even for someone who is not especially trained.
Flowers...wow! I left Sevilla on March 22, 2017 and arrived April 28 in SdC. Every day I made a picture of a flower for a friend back home, so I was really focused on what was blooming along the way. And every day I could make lots of pictures of flowers which made it difficult to decide...
Last year the tap water on the middle section of the VdlP was definitely light brown. Usable for washing but not for drinking. In Galicia the water was ok again
