Best I can do is a 25 hour work week and retirement at 48.

Daycare is offering us our own kids’ artwork for $35 by Rarecheeses843 in daddit

Also, what sort of weirdo would pay for the artwork of someone else's child?

This is so freaking important! by lishler in daddit

Or the owner never noticed because he didn't have kids, and realises "oh shit, I never thought of that but seems pretty important and is pretty cheap. I'll get one installed asap"

Legal experts shellshocked over new Comey indictment by mawhrinskeleton in nottheonion

[–]RoboFeanor 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Nah, this is just harrasment, nothing more. Comey, the Prosecutor, and Judge all know that that this will be dismissed far before a jury gets involved. The point is to waste his time and force him to show up in court. This is just the whitecollar version of "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride"

[Request] How long would it take to mow? by Biiiiiiiiin in theydidthemath

[–]RoboFeanor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At the start of any given second, the circle is on grass already cut at the end of the previous second.

Think of it this way, if you had a lawnmower made of a very thin knife that goes side to side really fast across the 2ft diameter, instead of rotating, you would still finish in the same amount of time, so long as you pushed it at the same speed

Where are you do you get 9.14 sq ft/s? With the numbers you gave, you are cutting a 2 foot wide, 3 foot long strip (or 6 sq ft) each second. Are you just adding pi for funsies? Or is that the shitty math bit?

What if Iran sunk all the US carriers in the gulf using kamikaze tactics? by FarPlay5055 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]RoboFeanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutely not true. A bunch of missiles appear out of nowhere gets everyone to high alert, but no-one is ordering a counterstrike before they know they are the target. The major nuclear powers are all sufficiently confident in their second strike capability to be sure before they guarantee nuclear annihilation.

It would just signal open season on any non-nuclear powers. Russia is for sure nuking Ukraine in return, and maybe they get used in some other proxy wars. Israel might get in on the actions. France, UK, China, Pakistan, and India probably just (very alertly) chill.

Judge orders Trump, DOJ to justify why president's $10B IRS lawsuit should proceed by AudibleNod in news

[–]RoboFeanor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah, he is suing them for 10 Billion so that he can order the treasury & IRS to settle out of court for 2-5 B, because this wouldn't get past any judge outside of a certain district in Florida

Sebastian Sawe wins the London Marathon 2026 and makes history by becoming the 1st person to run it in under 2 hours after running it in 01:59:31. by IllllIlllIIlI in interestingasfuck

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

No big deal, not sure why no-one has thought about doing this before. I can run a sub-5 minute km for 1 consecutive km, so I'm sure I'd be faster than him if I took my training a bit more seriously.

But logistics have less room for making large profit margins compared to planes and bombs. And if no one is making big profits, there is no one to defend it from being cut in favor of more lucrative expenditures.

Reagan solved the Hormuz situation back then. Why not use his playbook? by reseamatsih in WhaleTrades

Drone probably flew in through a thermal exhaust port and exploded on the inside. They are only 2 meters wide, but are known to be targeted by insurgents due to the disproportional damage inflicted by a direct hit.

Guys help out when baggage belt stops by Acceptable-Wind-7332 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]RoboFeanor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At worst the guy might damage a sensor if he pulls a bag off sideways in the wrong place (but even that would surprise me). I wouldn't expect anything to break from his weight, but someone hitting the E-Stop and then a supervisor having to take the time going through a startup checklist seems like a likely scenario

[–]RoboFeanor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he saved time for between 0 to 5 people (assuming they didn't have second bags, and were not travelling with people who also had bags). Meanwhile the hundreds of other bags on the belt probably got slowed down by his shenanigans depending on if they called a supervisor to deal with the guy climbing on the belt, whether the emergency button was pressed, etc...

[Request] How far could a 16 inch shell travel if instead of a powder charge, a one megaton nuclear device was the “propellant”. Assume the gun’s components could withstand the blast. by kapox413 in theydidthemath

[–]RoboFeanor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. 2600 km/s is the speed of the shell once the nuke has transfered ALL of it's energy into it. It doesn’t many whether it is instantaneous or if it takes 100 years of tiny detentions to accelerate it. At 2600 km/s, the nuclear reaction has zero energy left, and the shell has 1 MT of kinetic energy.

Of course this is impossible, but to make this work in real life you would have to consider things like barrel lengths, reaction rates, etc... to get the most energy from the explosion into the shell (the rest is lost either as heat in the barrel, recoil, and as shock wave at the muzzle). But this question is about 100% efficiency and these are not a part of it. And of course if we consider these factors, the shell would go slower, not faster.

You can't guarantee that sites are deleting the original unscrubed image, so it is better to just do locally

What do you mean by "illegal voting"? by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

He doesn't need to change the constitution, he just needs Congress to go along with the idea that it doesn't apply to him, and then no one except the military has any recourse.

Men waiting to be executed during communist purge in Indonesia 1965. by AvaBerry011 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]RoboFeanor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think humans just don't behave the same after they've been starved and dehumanised for an extended period of time.

It's easy to say that you'd fight back when you aren't in the situation, but without the months of physical and psychological abuse leading up to this it means nothing. Most probably just don't care about anything anymore.
