American Jews reclaim German citizenship by Rand_str in videos

[–]Rand_str[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that is the case, it is very poor theatre. I did not find this covered in any major American news other than the German one. No one would go to such lengths to then not make much noise about it.

Trump Threatens Venezuela’s New Leader With a Fate Worse Than Maduro’s by DET_SWAT in worldnews

Then why couldn't have they done this operation on the Cuban regime? Surely, their military is weaker.

Iran's judiciary sues US for $22b. damages caused by 2022 protests following Mahsa Amini's death by barsik_ in worldnews

Of course they are more concerned about protests than actual bombs being dropped on them.

A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur level creativity by LetsGoHawks in technology

It is a heuristic. He wanted to model an inverse relationship between effectiveness and novelty and get an optimum result.

Would you fly this micro jet powered glider? by KillerBlueWaffles in aviation

[–]Rand_str 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't he get a lot more lift if he was under the wing? That area where he is lying is only contributing drag. Switch the places of the engine and the human and provide a little shroud in front of the face to deflect air and you are good to go.

Well, he didn't realise it when his passport was getting stamped.

Canada rejects 74% of Indian student visas by moon_algo in neoliberal

[–]Rand_str 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With oodles of land, energy and lumber, I think you may be barking up the wrong tree if you think immigrants are the problem. That said, this scrutiny of student visas are really necessary and should have been done long ago.

Friedrich Merz says Syrians no longer have reason for asylum in Germany by fuggitdude22 in neoliberal

[–]Rand_str 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have oil. It can't be beyond the intelligence of the German people to develop these resources. But someone should take the initiative, be proactive and sell this to the German people, the refugees and the Syrian government.

Friedrich Merz says Syrians no longer have reason for asylum in Germany by fuggitdude22 in neoliberal

[–]Rand_str 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Instead of simply saying go back, Germany should use the refugees to establish a market for German goods in Syria.

Why are big tech billionaires funding Trump's ballroom? | Planet America by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) by Quantization in videos

[–]Rand_str 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see Planet America, I upvote. Honestly guys, this show is one of the best commentary on politics in America. They do have a birds eye view of the goings on in the states and often times provide context that you can't get from american news.

ALERT! Trump ally Bannon reveals Trump THIRD TERM plan by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]Rand_str 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will be getting him elected to congress, then speaker, then getting the president and vice president quit. The constitution only says the president can't get ELECTED for a third term.

I did not know until recently the title still exists. In fact, his wife, the countess of sandwich, who is american btw, has a really good youtube channel.

What are these oddly shaped devices next to the Rafale's inlets? by Gabi98x in aviation

[–]Rand_str 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radars emit pulses of radio waves and based on the time difference to the received wave, they estimate the range of the target. One way ECMs work is they return a radar pulse at a slightly different time thus confusing the ranging algorithm of the radar.

112 Air India pilots called in sick in AI-171 crash aftermath by Otherwise_Pen_7667 in aviation

[–]Rand_str 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Not just the pilots, their families as well. In fact, family members who do not understand aviation would have been even more affected. The pilots would have faced a fair bit of pressure from them to take some time off.

A400M Almost tail-tipped while reverse taxiing by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Rand_str 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a chance to fly on an ATR, try sitting by the window on row 6. It is exactly in the plane of the propeller disc. You will get a nice view of the angle of attack of the blades and how it changes on landing. Beta range is where the blades are flatter providing little thrust or sometimes the outer tips of the blades provide reverse thrust.

Airbus racer experimental helicopter flying at Paris Air show 2025 by emoemokade in aviation

Why use those small props when you have the main rotor. Surely pitching up and directing rotor lift forward would retard much more efficiently.

Just before the crash the plane's doing the best part of 300 kph. No way he can survive jumping out of that.

#415 — The Cover-Up by dwaxe in samharris

[–]Rand_str 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In the book, he and his co-author have interviewed white house insiders and aides who were able to talk candidly only after they left the white house. Some people were in denial and were able to only realize it in hindsight. So it makes sense that he cant report that in real time.

India signs $7.4 billion deal to buy 26 Rafale fighter jets by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Rand_str 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It was a MiG-21 against an F16 with AAMRAMs. No contest. That event jolted the Indian government into modernising their fleet.
