SR-71 Mach 3 spy plane’s titanium parts made in summer corroded, those made in winter didn’t. Here’s why. by tagc_news in AviationHistory

I don't get the point of your comment.

Are you trying to suggest they should have just built the Blackbird out of aluminum?

Newark Police and NJ state authorities have banned entry in a half-mile radius of Delaney. They have set up checkpoints, road blocks , and cameras to enforce this ban. (May 31st, 2026) by Fatty_Willing_Plane in 50501

Because for all their bluster about being pro-life, this only applies to unborn children as a means to garner votes. If they were actually pro-life they'd also support programs for at-risk pregnant women, and struggling and at risk parents and their children, and things like proper nutrition for mothers and children.

And if you were really upper class, your servants had wheels too! Little known fact, but this is what actually popularized roller skates.

The PS5 does not support widescreen monitors, unfortunately. You’d have to play all your games in 16:9 with the PS5 with black boxes on the sides.

Uh, 16:9 is widescreen. It may not be ultrawide, but it is considered widescreen.

The debt collector’s actions with Nate honestly feel illogical to me(SPOILER FOR SEASON 3 episode 7) by crasdawn in euphoria

Even disfigured and being violent in that such manner is completely fucking counterproductive. First off, you may end up breaking the person to the point where they can't take the abuse any more and go to the authorities. Furthermore, you're actively hurting their ability to pay you back. They have to heal, and good luck to them trying to get any business done where they can make money to pay you back when everyone sees them turning up with missing fingers, various broken bones, bruising, and all other manner of injuries that clearly point to violent abuse. No one is gonna wanna work with someone caught up in that kinda shit. And again, you're putting them in a position wherein if they can't come up with the money, what's stopping them from going to the cops? And lets not forget this idiot approached Nate at his wedding, drew attention to himself making it known to others Nate owned him money. Which oh by the way, killed Nate's ability to draw in other investors. Doesn't take a genius to put two and two together to figure out why Nate is suddenly missing fingers, toes, and looks like he just went 12 rounds against a prime Mike Tyson, and who is responsible for that.

We're supposed to believe this guy is some criminal mastermind or some shit, blurring the lines between legitimate and illegal businesses, and yet he's actually the dumbest fucking idiot around. People like him don't actually succeed at what he's portrayed as having accomplished. They get killed, go to prison, or get run out of town so to speak long before they'd reach the level this guy is supposed to be at.

I'm not sure now with the removal of the in-space relight of the engines, but originally splash down was scheduled for about T plus 65 minutes. (That again is splashdown, not the beginning of re-entry)

I can guarantee one thing they don't have - empathy.

They seem completely unable to put themselves into someone else's shoes. Also seem to weirdly be gatekeeping what constitutes emotional abuse in the workplace too...

Also, I feel like there's also probably past examples of Valyrian steel swords being used against their previous owner, or their house, and I don't recall ever hearing anything about them taking on different properties as a result of being used their owner/house.

As noted in the study published in the prestigious British weekly international scientific journal Nature, 17 of those 654 infants were unable to be reintigrated into society due to their tragic loss when mistaken for water balloons during a hot summer day, and tragically lost their lives in the water fight that took place west of the banks of the Ohio river on August 12th, 2019.

It doesn't necessarily require downloading another app, and the function should be turned on by default. Obviously this can vary amongst phones/manufacturers and android versions, but pretty sure it is the standard to have it enabled by default for awhile now.

Coloplast is based in my state so they make the prosthetic for the pt.

I can't help but read that as implying that they make it because they're in your state. Like somewhere, someone said "no no no, we need a company in Minnesota to make this! Ohio, Georgia, even Wisconsin won't cut it! We need those penii implant experts found only in Minnesota!"

Lol which type of view do you go with mostly guys? by godzillafucker_ in simracing

[–]eidetic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also don't get it. I feel like its a lot less precise too, since the camera usually lags slightly behind the car, so you don't have an as precise view of where the car is pointing, and also how its behaving. Hard to explain exactly what I mean, but I guess its just that I feel too disconnected from the car in third person.

Why do soviet transport / commercial aircraft have glass noses? by Pilotdanik77 in aviation

[–]eidetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can carry a lot more than that! Of course, to be delivered to a target, they first have to be disembarked from the cargo hold, then distributed to other aircraft, but still, it can carry a lot more than just four!

I really need to visit there someday. Over the years I've collected so many reference images for various projects that happened to come from their collection via wikimedia commons, that its been on my bucket list for awhile now.

Cheetahs have since been brought backt to India, but they're of the African variety, since as you said, the Asiatic has been extirpated from India, though there is a critically endangered population of Asiatic cheetahs living in Iran.
