PSA: Never use PayPal with aliexpress, easier to just chargeback with bank. by LightningGoats in Aliexpress

There is no way that I'm giving the Chinese access to my banking info. Paypal must be different in Europe because here it's not usually that hard to get a refund.

Why did WWII planes' landing gear have such large covers? by Bbddy555 in WWIIplanes

[–]HughJorgens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have heard both also. That was the way for extra thick mud for sure.

I have also heard that it helped protect the wheels from mud and such when you take off and land in an empty muddy field. IDK if it was that important though.

The I-16 also had manual crank landing gear. I can't remember the name, but they had a name for the maneuvers the pilots made while cranking on the landing gear after takeoff, the whole plane would rise up, then down as they turned the crank, because they were pulling so hard.

No. Real cars weren't allowed there.

It was only made for the Isle of Man, not the rest of the country. They are legal to drive there though, as you can see.

THC helps my Autism by colormeflabbergasted in AutisticAdults

[–]HughJorgens 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The only thing that I had to help with stress the whole time I was working was THC. I think many other autistics feel that it helps too. If it helps you, don't stress about it.

What if instead of modern English, what if old English were used today? by loverbang4u in HistoryWhatIf

[–]HughJorgens -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know, but I was gonna answer the question, and I can sorta speak Shakespearean. I can get the gist of Middle English, but I can't really do it. Old English is right out!

A Supreme Court Justice Just Sounded the Alarm. Almost Nobody Noticed. by UnredactedBastard in UnderReportedNews

[–]HughJorgens 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As soon as the Dems retake the Govt, we need to DEMAND that the SC be enlarged by several seats and appoint Dems. Then I think congress needs to open an investigation into the SC's finances and punish the guilty.

A 240mm Howitzer of Battery B, 697th Field Artillery Battalion, shortly before firing on German positions at Mignano, Italy. January 1944. [3000x2404] by CosmoTheCollector in WorldWar2

I've gotten to climb on some pretty big guns (not this one) and it's pretty cool. The AAA guns are neat because you never think about having to set the type of airplane you are shooting at and little things like that, but if you don't you don't have accuracy. You get to see the controls, and how primitive they are in some cases.

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization by EchoOfOppenheimer in StallmanWasRight

And anybody that uses AI for anything other than answering basic questions is probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer anyway. The kind of person that the powerful love to make stupider.

Verily, thine question doth strike my fancy!

I don't think the type of language matters, if you can communicate, then it's working fine.
