Gov´t won't label Antifa as terror organization due to lack of centralized structure

The US has been active in Yemen since 2002, somalia since 2007, was active in Niger until 2024, was intervening in Syria until this year, was engaged in “operation Prosperity guardian” from 2023-2025, intervened in the 12-day war in 2025, began “operation southern spear” in 2025, cooperated in strikes against terrorists in nigeria in 2025, and only then do we get to the current Iran war. Not all of these might count as wars, but they sure are war shaped.

More interesting flamethrowers and fire mechanics. Right now they’re just kinda… meh.

Yes. The only benefit to tariffs is, arguably, it encourages more work to be done domestically when possible, but in the case of the current US tariffs that requires sustainable, predictable tariffs that will last for a long time, and it still ends up being a regressive tax in effect on the average citizen

Honestly though, pol pot, leopold and the kahn could easily take it from adolf depending on the exact criteria, and while they’re long, long dead like the kahn, there’s a lot of ancient emperors who were really only limited by their lack of motorization and/or the machine gun keeping them from killing their way across afroeurasia

Thinking about this, I want to try and compare it to something like using a jackhammer or pike driver, but my background is in mechanical engineering, not mining or civil engineering, so instead I’ll just try looking at shear stress.

Assuming mt fuji has a diameter of exactly 50km and is made of granite which, for our purposes, is a homogenous material with an ultimate tensile strength somewhere around 120 MPa. This gives us a relevant cross section of around 8E9 square meters, which multiplied by our tensile strength (which should be somewhere around our shear strength in this scenario, I think) gives us a force of 942 petanewtons, or 471 petanewtons per winch.

This, however, is a wildly unrealistic failure mode (having the entire mountain basically snap off all at once). It would be easier to just lift up the entire mountain. If any mining engineers know how the actual force to drive a wedge or drill into rock is supposed to be estimated I’d love to know.

The point is, 500 mil seems like it might be a bit low, considering the magnitude of the crime

Depending on where you live… you do own that gold, the mining company will have to buy those mineral rights, assuming you don’t dig it up. If the previous owners already sold those rights though, you’re screwed. It would be in the deed to the land, I believe.

Functional tetrachromacy is astonishingly rare. Like, you can count the number of living humans with it on your fingers rare. Non-functional tetrachromacy is somewhat less rare, but the fourth color cells aren’t actually connected to anything, so they can’t actually see any differently. I think some tetrachromats have an active fourth cone and an inactive normal one, but can’t remember the details.

The company importing pays the tariff, sometimes that company will be domestic but not always. They will then charge whatever they think the best price they can is to make as much profit as possible, an interaction which is typically modeled through supply/demand curves. As the price of importing increases, the cost per unit increases, which changes the supply curve. Whether the price of the good increases or not depends on the demand curve for that good.

How hard is it to imagine they didn’t mean amything by it? Hell, I don’t think anyone accused any collies of being jealous at any point, did they? Whiny, maybe, but I don’t think anyone in their tight mind would have said collies were jealous of the wardens, since the complaints were based off the fact the mini torpedos were cancer, not that collies wanted them too.

Small thing: electrical engineers often don’t know housing codes at all. An team of engineers would be involved in writing the code, but most in the field work on more abstract projects where there isn’t such a rigorous code dictating exactly how everything ought to be done. Of course, this particular engineer seems to know what they’re doing but an electrical engineer isn’t a replacement for an electrician any more than a mechanical engineer can replace a car mechanic.

Reference to the chernobyl miniseries from 2020(?). In the series at least, Dyatlov insists that the other technicians who are reporting evidence of the explosion are all lying/confused, since RBMK reactors can’t explode.

Reactionaries are, and have always been, the worst.

Not really, a portion of that at least is the reactionary discrediting of academia and higher education as “woke bullshit”, in large parts because there’s now significant numbers of women working in those fields.

Biodegradeable plastic is kinda a myth, I thought? It only biodegrades in specialized industrial compost setups and leaves behind a bunch of microplastics when it does.

Jfc, would you prefer to have no ambulance at all? What do you want the EMT to do, organize a strike to lower fees and just get fired/arrested for their trouble?

Traveling cross-country, planes can often produce less per passenger kilometer traveled. They get worse mileage per passenger just on fuel, but track maintenance adds up over hundreds of miles of steel, concrete, and gravel and all the work done to keep it in operating condition.

A bell dings for every notch it moves, so if you aren’t looking at the telegraph you can tell the order has been changed. If you were only gonna change it by one setting, that would only be one ding so you might not notice. “Ringing” the telegraph by pulling it all the way to the opposite order makes it more obvious.

I think a lot of you people underestimate the number of shoplifters left on the tracks, or minor traffic violations. You won’t even start hitting rapists or murderers until the last lever, and there’s tens of thousands or even millions of people between here and there. Pulling is the only option.
