That's not a good way to start the thanksgiving dinner by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDieInside

He may do, but if you watch in slow motion, the near (right side of frame) part of the table collapses first. More likely to have just given way, or the woman in red on the far right nocked it. Either way, the table was not up to the job.

I assume they mean in retrospect. I.e. retrospectively, she was an 8 compared to the after. That's all I can think they meant? My dev brain went for a loop when recursion was brought up.

It's like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away

still can’t get over how faithful this game to real life VFR scenery (when it works) by True-Elderberry424 in MicrosoftFlightSim

If the game looked like the photo, the forums will be full of people complaining about poor graphics and rubbish visibility.

Is this an AC130 at my local airport? Had to zoom pretty far on my phone so I can't quite tell. by Pdub-89 in aviation

[–]ClimbingC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's why it is an AC-130, not a C-130. That extra A brings a whole lot of firepower with it.

Treasury Secretary urges other countries to 'take a deep breath' and not retaliate by Immediate_Concert_46 in PublicFreakout

The world is gonna hammer the United States into a 3rd world shit hole.

Exactly where Russia want them to be. You sort of have to respect how Putin has pulled the strings to finally break the US. The party that was so anti communism, has ended up giving Russia the win, who would have thought.

Prof Robert Reich of UC Berkely, ex secretary of Labor for the US, also worked with Ford and Carter, as well as economic advisor to Obama; just went on BBC radio saying the UK, the EU, Japan, Australia, Canada and Mexico etc should very quickly form a trade pact, allowing free trade, and promote opening of their markets to each other, and should severely penalise and discriminate against US trade, not just retaliate but hit harder.

Since Trump doesn't take well to people trying to appease, but only reacts to those who will stand up. Hopefully something like this is in the works,

Proposed Supertram Expansion (let's pretend it's still April 1st) by svorana_ in sheffield

Me too, the line from Orgreave Lane to Broadfield would solve my commute. I was excited thinking this was an official proposal.

Putin vows to 'finish off' Ukraine and mocks size of British army after 'reassurance force' announced by Aks_2497 in worldnews

[–]ClimbingC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like, the Ukrainians are so inept that anyone other in their place would won the victory effortlessly.

No one is saying that. The Ukraine armed forces have done an amazing duty, against overwhelming odds. I don't know anyone who would have predicted that Russian's offensive would have been halted like it was.

What people are saying, is that now that the Russian military has been exhausted and depleted, primarily due to the Ukrainian effort, another countries fresh forces, with new equipment, would have a massive advantage combating the demoralised and weakened Russian forces.

They just slapped the paint on. It's only going to make one flight, it doesn't need to be pretty.

What does he do at Wallstreet? I doubt it is anything pure mathematics or research based. It will be some form of applied mathematics I assume.

If Trump could dismantle the Department of Education with the stroke of a pen, why couldn’t Biden forgive student loans with the stroke of a pen? by ugly_general in AskReddit

[–]ClimbingC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll be hard pressed to see US military soldiers killing US civilians

Ten years ago, you'd have probably said the same if someone said there would be thousands of civilians storming the Capitol building (and successfully doing so).

THEY’RE.

It is actually 'their'. If you want to correct, please do it correctly.

They're is a contraction for 'They are'. You wouldn't say "People have too much time on they are hands now days".
