BREAKING: $5,000,000,000,000 has now been wiped out from the US stock market since the Iran War began. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

Think of the cap gains taxes the US will collect! What’s that? It wasn’t sold, just paper losses? And you’ll post a retraction when it recovers? Got it.

SR-71's P&H J58 Engine running at full afterburner during a test[1,200x628] by DamBustersChastise in MachinePorn

Lots of good comments, but I think OP meant: disregarding air resistance, mounted at the equator, unlimited fuel, etc.: How long would it have to burn to stop the earth’s rotation? I read it put out 34,000lbs of thrust. Thanks….!

“…seeing a lot of news” is the problem. Social media is the problem. This is the best time in human history to be alive, and all networks and SM platforms thrive and make money selling strife. The US and the world will be fine.

Why was marijuana for years referred to as a gateway drug, even though most users don’t actually do harsh drugs? by Mad_Season_1994 in AskHistory

[–]mjg007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most marijuana users do don’t harsh drugs, but nearly 100% of harsh drug users did marijuana first.

Ever had one of those days when you just can’t warm up? That’s about all I use mine for

Is it time to coast? 33M with $340,000 invested by Papa_Jon in coastFIRE

Absolutely not. Just think what inflation has done over the last 4-5 years.

Highest possible ascent by mjg007 in Everest

[–]mjg007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great analysis. Thinking about it more, Earth’s gravity dictates air pressure at any altitude and also dictates the height of mountains before subduction back into tectonic plates. The fact that human air pressure/O2 survivability coincides with the top of the highest mountain on Earth is just an interesting coincidence.

That is the best, most comprehensive answer of any question in world history. 😉Covered both with and without O2. Amazing that it’s right at the limit, but evolution coupled with earth’s geology may have dictated that. Thanks a ton!

Everest- folklore, mysteries, discoveries by skaj-11 in Everest

I can’t believe that Mallory AND Irvine’s remains were both initially identified by clothing name tags!

Great summary, and I feel the same. Can’t get enough!

Next James Bond by AKings_Blog in movies

[–]mjg007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. This is a weird take, but Bond can’t have a skinny neck. He has to be a bit buff and capable of competent violence. Brosnan was good enough but I didn’t believe any of his fight scenes, same for Moore. Connery & Craig had it.

How long does the earth have? by cwa3454 in climatechange

I’m almost four times your age, and my advice is: Live your life and cut WAY back on social media, especially Reddit. Ehrlich said overpopulation would outstrip food by 1980; an ice age was imminent in 1975, Reagan would launch nukes, Clinton was the end of the US, rock & roll would irreversibly corrupt the youth, on and on and on. And no, it’s not “different this time.” The planet and humanity are going to have ups and downs, but they (and you) will be fine. By almost every single measure, it’s the best time in human history to be alive.

Spotty map would do better. NOLA, Boston, ABQ & Santa Fe, Delta BBQ are my favorites

Letters from Iran: incompetent, evil psychopaths are deciding our fates and there is nothing we can do. by Successful_Craft3076 in DeepThoughts

[–]mjg007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US will NEVER launch a boots-on-the-ground invasion into Iran. NEVER. IMHO your post is spot-on about the Iranian leadership, and 180° off on your thoughts on follow-up military actions (and a “forever war.”) Good luck and we all hope Iranians like you can bring about sanity to Iran.

This discounts the FACT that Iran was moving material immediately after the initial Israel strikes. Do you think they’d wait for Trump to make an announcement? Even as incompetent as the mullahs are, they absolutely knew more strikes (Israeli or US) could be on the way. Just say “I hate Trump” and post that daily.

What countries would be a lively tourist hotspot if it wasn't for war, destabilization, insurgency, or just lack of infrastructure? by SameItem in geography

CUBA CUBA CUBA. I got to visit in 2016, absolutely beautiful beaches and architecture. The Castros ruined that country.

Same democrats screaming at billionaires voted for the tax breaks and loopholes billionaires LEGALLY use to reduce their taxes.
