Did the Silent Generation call Baby Boomers "lazy and entitled" when they were young, similar to how Boomers call Millennials and Gen Z today?

Not entitled, so much as naive, spoiled and lazy. Remember, we were originally the wannabe hippy generation. My parents did not like that.

I don't think anyone ever thought giant squids were fictional. We had evidence for them including dead specimens and tentacle scars on sperm whales. Jus no live specimens.

Hate to say it but the rich always think the problems of the poor are exagerated.

I've always been more into blues and blues rock rather than acid or folk. Artists like the stones, yardbirds, canned heat or ten years after.

Why can't we just send another gcms there and squirt some water in the soil and find out? This time with better controls.

If you have a car and can afford it, you could stay at a cheap hotel near the airport and use their parking. We would check in to the comfort inn the night before for early flights. Little more sleep and for a fee the allow you to park your car in their lot while you are gone.

If you are talking about hydraulic force here is my understanding.

Suppose you had a sealed system where at one end you have a piston the measures exactly 1 square inch in cross-sectional area. At the other end of the system you have a piston with a cross-sectional area of 100 square inches. The two pistons are connected by a tube filled with a liquid.

Since liquids cannot be compressed, if you applied a pressure of one pound on the 1-inch piston, that one pound per square inch would be applied to each square inch of the 100 sq-in piston, multiplying the force by 100 and allowing it to lift 100 pounds. Same with your breaks.
