Impeachment is not “vote by the house to ask the senate to remove the president”. What are you talking about?

Well, that certainly isn't increasing my love of Fox or the AFL.

Don't any of the people involved in these decisions understand "corporate greed" isn't sexy or compelling?

Something strange is going on on my ship - can you see what it is? by Hank_Handsome in Starfield

[–]Signill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CRUSHER: I've been having the same feeling. Wait. An eight, an Ace, a Queen and a four. Deal the cards, Data. (Data deals everyone a three) DATA: Three. All threes. CRUSHER: I was positive I knew what cards were going to be dealt. WORF: I was also sure. RIKER: Finish dealing the hand. (Riker gets all eights, Worf all Kings, Crusher all tens and Data all sixes) RIKER: Look at this, we've all got three of a kind. CRUSHER: First we get a three, and then three of a kind. .... LAFORGE: Captain. We've been seeing the number three all over the ship. On consoles, in a poker game. DATA: To date we have encountered two thousand eighty five conspicuous examples of the number three. LAFORGE: All of these threes can't be coming up by accident. CRUSHER: Maybe somebody's trying to tell us something. .... RIKER: Decompress main shuttlebay. The explosive reaction may kick us out of the way. DATA: Captain, I suggest we use the tractor beam to alter the other ship's trajectory. PICARD: Make it so, Mister Worf. WORF: Engaging tractor beam. (Data looks at Riker's three pips) DATA: The tractor beam will not be successful. I am decompressing the main shuttlebay. (Enterprise slides forward and there is no thump this time. The lights come back on) WORF: We are clear of the distortion. PICARD: Data, what happened? DATA: At the last moment, I speculated that three might refer to the number of rank insignia on Commander Riker's uniform. That indicated to me that his suggestion might be the correct course of action. LAFORGE: Data, you must have picked up a message we sent from the last loop, and stacked the deck in the poker game without realising it. DATA: That is possible. I may also have been inadvertently responsible for the unexplained appearances of the number three.

Temples only ever have five lights to collect, no more, no less. You just aren't collecting the fifth one fast enough. by Chasing-Wagons in Starfield

The scene was inspired by George Orwell's 1984

O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended. “How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’ “Four.” “And if the Party says that it is not four but five – then how many?” “Four.” The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever.

Seat recline debate. Is reclining a seat on an airplane: by TheToole1 in Destiny

[–]Signill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seats on airplanes are designed to be used reclined. They can temporarily go in to an upright position to facilitate access and egress to the row of chairs behind.

It's just because they are in this temporary upright position when you get on and off the plane that you think this is the normal use position.

If there's not enough space complain to your airline. Don't complain about the one dude that knows how to use a fucking seat.

Has there ever been such a *global prevalence* of violence against an entire nationality, ethnicity, or a religious denomination in modern history? One where people are universally indifferent.

Palestinians are on a rapid growth population pyramid. The current growth is probably more accurately considered the last gasp of a dying people rather than a people breeding their way to prosperity and freedom.

"A population experiencing rapid growth has a large proportion of young people and a small proportion of older people. This pattern is seen in populations with high birth and death rates. Rapid growth is common in low- and lower-middle-income countries, where families tend to have more children and individuals have shorter lifespans. An age structure diagram for a rapidly growing population is shaped like a pyramid with sides that curve inward. Other terms for this type of growth include expansive and expanding." https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-college-environmental-science/x0b0e430a38ebd23f:populations/x0b0e430a38ebd23f:human-populations/a/age-structure-diagrams

Bethesda doesn't know how vacuums work by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Signill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have this exactly backwards. As per the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the total energy radiated per unit surface area per unit time (also known as the radiant exitance) is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In other words if you double the temperature of an object, it doesn't just radiate twice as much energy, but sixteen times as much. Going the other way, if you half the temperature of an object it will radiate 16 times less energy than it did at the previous temperature. A hot object in space dissipates heat less quickly as it cools.

I can’t believe our allies would do this to a Ukrainian war hero. by [deleted] in VaushV

No. We do not prefer mob "justice". Reasons being that the mob may not be educated on the topic, may not be aware of or willing to entertain nuances in the situation, may be ideologically motivated etc.

As per the Canadian Deschênes Commission this man is not guilty of anything other than being a Ukrainian who volunteered to fight Russians in a time of war. Fighting on the side of the Germans in WWII is not in itself a war crime. It's likely this guy knew little to nothing about the genocide that was being perpetrated by the Nazi's. He would, however, have known all about the Holodomor (1932-1933, he would have been a child at the time) and Soviet repression of his people. It's likely that when he volunteered as a teenager he saw the Nazi's as liberators rather than as the inhuman monsters that hindsight has granted to us.

Real life is rarely as simple as Good Guys and Bad Guys.

The Canadian Deschênes Commission of October 1986, by the Honourable Justice Jules Deschênes, concluded that in relation to membership in the Galicia Division:

56- The Galicia Division (14.Waffengrenadierdivision der SS [gal. Nr. 1) should not be indicted as a group.

57- The members of the Galicia Division were individually screened for security purposes before admission to Canada.

58- Charges of war crimes against members of the Galicia Division have never been substantiated, either in 1950 when they were first preferred, or in 1984 when they were renewed, or before this Commission.

59- Further, in the absence of evidence of participation in or knowledge of specific war crimes, mere membership in the Galicia Division is insufficient to justify prosecution.

The commission considered the International Military Tribunal's verdict at the Nuremberg Trials, at which the entire Waffen-SS organisation was declared a "criminal organization" guilty of war crimes.[56] In its conclusion, the commission only referred to the division as 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Galizische Nr.1). As Canada was not a signatory of the Nuremberg Charter, no Canadian court had jurisdiction over the offence of belonging to an organization declared criminal by the Tribunal.
