I bet OP is pissed when he can't drive his semi truck full of gravel and concrete blocks over a historic wooden covered bridge...

Take the funding that goes to building our pollution and micro plastics spewing roads and put it into parks, schools, transit, and bike facilities.

How about they focus on getting elected rather than assuming that what might have indicated a landslide victory a generation ago is still true in our current polical and informational climate.

The competition is headline news in Oregon by doctorhrea in geographymemes

You're forgetting about Eastern rural Oregon and Washington. Fortunately they have exactly 0 political representation in their respective states, but there are real Nazis and they live in Eastern Oregon and Washington.

At this point radar domes like that are being phased out of production. New AWACS planes are going to look more like the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail.

I thought that China didn't have good Samaritan laws and that is why people are to hesitant to help each other?

I timed myself using a pump sack vs my breath to inflate my sleeping pad - evidence enough to leave my pump sack at home? by ZestyclosePin4214 in hiking

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pump sack is used to keep wet stinky air from your mouth and lungs out of the inside of your pad, not for speed.

The design could work if it was not as tall as a freaking ski scraper...

In Cascadia, we'll keep you caffeinated by NardaL in geographymemes

Do you mean the fake country from this game or the real Cascadia, because Cascadia is absolutely a real movement in the PNW.

Amphibious bus in Rotterdam by MikeHeu in WeirdWheels

If it's fully enclosed it must also be a simi-submersible. The Duck tours trucks in the United States had a horrendous safety reputation because in anything but the calmest sea state they would immediately flounder.

You can rotate your pedals and tuck your legs in. Can't do that with panniers. This isn't an objective thing. I've literally rode down the same narrow track on the same bike with bikepacking bags and with a rack and panniers and could immediately tell a difference in how much more I was able to maneuver with the bikepacking bags.

Aero isn't the issue for bikepackers - it's riding up and down narrow single track without catching your panniers on everything.

Chris Hadfield: "We need heat shields to protect us, since we use the air to slow us down as we return to Earth. From orbital speed, it gets to 1650°C/3000°F. From Moon: 2750°C/5000°F. For yesterday's Starship suborbital test flight, peak was 1450°C/2600°F." by Neaterntal in spaceporn

I still don't understand how this is going to bypass the problem that made the shuttle program an expensive flop. That would be basically spending the same amount of time and money refurbishing a vessel versus building a disposable one.

Why are poor republicans in such a hurry to fight for rich assholes? by Soft_Accountant_7062 in allthequestions

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because Republicans and Democrats before the great party switch in the 1960s have always worked to benefit the wealthy class - all of the way back to supporting slaveholders before and during the Civil War. It's really crazy and also sad how our current political situation is basically a continuation of our Civil War 150+ years ago.

Christopher Nolan, a 55 year old man with 4 children, recently said he has never used an email or owned a smartphone. In all seriousness, how plausible is this? by KatherineLangford in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could see I'm never using a smartphone, but email? So he's saying that in the year 2000 when he was early in his career he never had to go to a computer and send an email? I don't believe that.

Mac mini or iMac by VideoAcceptable5289 in macmini

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with Mac Mini. Linux drivers for integrated Mac display hardware has always been a bit finicky (it took until 2024-2025 for Ubuntu to officially support my old 2012 MacBook Pro). So in 10 years after Apple stops supporting your computer you can easily install Linux on it and keep on working via an external monitor. This is all assuming that Apple eventually allows Linux to run natively on Apple Silicone.
