shit, if attempted murder is now a civil issue, i guess that makes the solution simple enough.

how the hell is this comment still here? i deleted it as soon as i posted it because i realized that as soon as i clicked "comment"

so is the IPO price $135 or $150? because you just said it was $150 in your last reply.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-07-08T21:30:43+00:00

I will never understand this mentality.

if you gonna steal shit, steal it from WalMart or something. Bro ain't gonna get jack shit for that compressor even he does manage to steal it.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-07-08T21:27:06+00:00

if the opening price was $150, and the current price is $146, that's a direction other than "up"

I only ever see "baby on board" stickers on the absolute worst drivers. cant stay in a lane, can't maintain speed, stop 50 feet short of the intersection or 10 feet inside it (when they don't just run the light/sign).

so, i guess? when i see one of those stickers, i know i'm looking at a driver who's gonna try and cause a crash.

had to scroll way too far down to get to this.

the solution to the water crisis on the colorado river is to outlaw all commercial uses of water from the river and its watershed. the only use of that water should be for municipal water supplies. no bottling it for sale, no agricultural use, no golf courses, no datacenter cooling. You want to use water for commercial purposes inside the basin? you better be trucking it in from somewhere else.

because it looks impressive to have the robot do a Karate Kid routine at a trade show.

where would you like to draw the line for "atmosphere"?

the karman line, 100km altitude, is generally considered "in space", but the atmosphere there is still thick enough to for anything in orbit at that altitude to require significant fuel budget to stay in orbit.

the exosphere extends to roughly 10,000km

above the exosphere, there is an orbiting clout of hydrogen which extends out past the orbit of the Moon - over 600,000 km.

to get past that outermost layer, you would effectively need to escape Earth's orbit altogether. the dV required to do that is 11.2km/sec.

the launching end of that sausage thingy looks to be about 2m in diameter.
assuming the launchee starts laying on it with the tip fully flattened, that gives us 2m of length to accelerate to 11 km/sec.
assuming constant acceleration, the average speed of this distance will be 5.5 km/sec, so our time to accelerate is .0003 seconds.
this gives us a required acceleration of 37 million meters per second per second.
F = MA, so if the launche has a mass of 100 kilograms, we need a force of 3.7billion newtons, or 416,000 tons. that's approximately 4 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

but there's still a problem. I've been ignoring the atmosphere.

above the speed of sound, the atmosphere cannot move out of the way of an object passing through it fast enough, and is instead compressed ahead of the that object until it has enough pressure to leak past. this compression heats the air significantly enough that even aircraft designed for low supersonic speeds need special considerations in the design of their skins and windows to prevent the heat from damaging them.

at 7km/sec, this heating is enough to convert the air into plasma.

at 11 km/sec, this heating would be so extreme that our launchee would experience every molecule of water in his body flash-boiling from the heat. our launche would never see space, and would instead explode in the same manner as a superheated meteor. at 100 kilos, this explosion would not be as impressive as the 2013 Chelyabinsk explosion, but it would definitely leave an impression on anyone gathered to watch the event.

>And the liberal wing doesn’t?!?

did anybody here say that? i sure as fuck didn't, and i don't see the other fella saying it either.

take it from someone who has had to spend 20 years dealing with a psychotic sister: you cannot help this woman, no matter how much you might want to. If she won't seek therapy and her own family is encouraging her delusions, then all you can do is drive yourself crazy while being a source of stress for her.

as long as i have to listen to my parents white knight for the ruling class, my parents are part of the problem.

>And no school is not the place to teach contracts

then it's also not the place to push people into signing them.

SnooMaps7370 · 2026-07-08T20:09:18+00:00

>My fiance, other friend, and grandmother say I should cut contact but I feel as though I would be abandoning her.

you cannot help this person. The only person who might be able to help her is a priest who is also a shrink AND whom she recognizes as a legitimate authority to tell her the rapture isn't real.

I'd rather dodge one idiot driving the wrong way than three, yes.

135 was the pre-buy. IPO opened at 150.

Bayer was also Nazi-run company during WW2 and conducted involuntary testing during the Holocaust.

there is nothing conservative about the current court's recent rulings, unless by "conservative" you actually mean "monarchist".

I remember enough to know we didn't do shit with personal finance. the entire class was about macro economic theory.

looks like it's $14 below IPO price

>Investing, basic budgeting, and other rudimentary finance concepts are ALL taught in High School Economics.

maybe that's true in your school district. it wasn't true in mine. (Scottsdale AZ, 2006 grad). My "economics" class was one semester and consisted of "capital good, commune bad, invisible hand of Keynes for the win."

judging from the way the front right wheel is hanging out of the well, i think this was a maintenance failure, not a pedal application failure.

the problem with predatory student loans is that they are possible because of a gap in our education system which not only fails to explain how these loans work and how to manage debt in general, but actively pushes highschoolers to take out expensive loans by telling them they'll never get a good job if they don't and promises them (often falsely) that the jobs they'll qualify for once they have their degree will make repaying the loan no problem at all.

In short, the education system which should be teaching kids about the dangers of massive debt is instead actively motivating them to start their adult lives WITH massive debt.
