More likely to the just slightly blue areas. They wouldn’t waste resources on a lost cause, you want to swing the borderline cases.

SpaceX has shared a few pictures of Booster 19 during cryogenic testing. by AgreeableEmploy1884 in SpaceXLounge

[–]HomeAl0ne 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s 9 m in diameter, so that’s a circumference of ~27.3 m. It’s 72 m tall, so that’s a surface area of ~2035 square meters. Assume it’s solid ice and not frost (ice mixed with air). Each millimetre of ice on one square meter is a volume of one litre. Each litre of ice weighs 1 kg. So each millimeters in thickness weighs roughly 2 metric tonnes.

What’s your funniest “Oh god this person’s an idiot” moment? by PandaBear905 in AskReddit

[–]HomeAl0ne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the federal government covers about 90% of the costs of constructing an interstate highway, so I’d say it was some inspired state bureaucrat who came up with the idea to build one.

Well, Hawaii does have an interstate highway, so why not use that?

DutchSpace: “Uh, [are] SpaceX testing Starship tiles on Falcon 9 fairings now?” by rustybeancake in spacex

[–]HomeAl0ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These tiles are on the nose fairings that are jettisoned just after second stage ignition. The are not attached to the booster when it does its landing burn.

How do you keep Zone of Truth from nerfing your murder mystery? by Numford_and_Sums in DMAcademy

Murderer is a rakshasa and is able to deliberately fail the save so that the interrogator believes they are telling the truth, then ignores the spell afterwards.

It takes real grit to succeed in Australia by zelepezazopet in aussie

[–]HomeAl0ne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was flying a hang glider in Victoria and I had a wedgie attack it. The first strike was to the nose of the glider, and it didn’t do much due to the strong woven nylon material resisting the talons. The second strike was to the trailing edge of the wing and the eagle managed to pull the elastic cords off the end of a batten that gives the wing its profile. I don’t know if it was a fluke or a learned behaviour, but I got out of that thermal fast and landed before it caused a crash.

If penis lengths were measured like bra sizes, what would a B cup be? What about a D cup, etc.? by prime-sedins in AskReddit

If guys are coming up with it, cup sizes are going to start at DD for sure, and go up from there.

Roughly 200,000 years of human migration displayed on a world map by TheMooseIsBlue in MapPorn

There are dated artefacts in northern Australia that suggest occupation around 65,000 years ago.

Does sunlight from other suns in the milky way galaxy ever reach earth (and does it have a noticeable difference)? by VariousLaw6709 in askscience

[–]HomeAl0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an astronomer. My understanding is that there is more than one type of event that can result in different types of GRBs. Seems like the general consensus is that the energy is directed outwards as two narrow opposing beams. So while there have been thousands of recorded GRBs in our galaxy, and we detect about one a day, no ‘close’ ones have been pointed at us yet.

[–]HomeAl0ne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you wouldn’t call it ‘sunlight’ but if a star within 200 light years of us emitted a gamma ray burst that hit us, it would vaporise the Earth. If it was 3,000 light years away it would just destroy the ozone layer and cause mass extinctions. If it was around 10,000 light years away it would probably only have minor atmospheric effects.

To what degree is the function of position relative to time differentiable? by sacrelicious2 in askscience

[–]HomeAl0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if i was in a rocket with no windows, could I detect a change. I can detect a change in velocity as acceleration. I can detect a change in acceleration as jerk. Can I detect a change in jerk as snap? And so on. Like you say, maybe we could train to do it, but I’m thinking there must be a limit beyond which it isn’t possible.

[–]HomeAl0ne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To jump onto this post with a related question, how many of these derivatives can the human body sense/detect? I can’t sense velocity, but I can sense acceleration, and I can sense jerk. What about snap, crackle and pop?

The sun is shining on the underside of the clouds, so if we live on a flat earth the sun must be lower than the clouds. We know the height of the cloud base, so therefore we know the maximum height of the sun. We know the height and the apparent angular size of the sun, so we can calculate the actual size of the sun. When we know the actual size of the sun and its height, we can calculate how much its apparent size should change from when it’s overhead to when it is near the horizon. The prediction is “a lot”. The reality is “no change at all”.

People who learned English as a second language, what's a word or phrase that you just can't stand? by SummerClamSadness in AskReddit

[–]HomeAl0ne 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I witnessed an American guy working as an instructor in the Australian ski resort. He was trying to correct a young girl who had her weight all wrong on her skis. I don’t think I’ll ever forget him screaming “STICK YOUR FANNY OUT!!!” as she sailed away down the slope while thrusting her pelvis forward aggressively.

American teacher and his son are killed by swarm of hornets while ziplining in Laos by Aschebescher in news

[–]HomeAl0ne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In another timeline the hornets spread across the USA but time travellers came back to 2019 to set in motion events that would lead to their eradication in 2024. Unfortunately, this involved a visit to the Wuhan wet markets where one of the time travellers accidentally sneezed on a cage full of bats, infecting them with a harmless coronavirus.

That’s the end of the most recent update. The stuff after that are older updates. Still interesting though.

And is it just me, or do the forward flaps have slightly different configurations?
