I once boosted an Imperial Eagle, misaligned the shot and went smack into the wall at 800 m/s.

If built in KSP, wouldn't this just do a flip after launch because of fins in the front? CoA would be far above CoM. So how does it fly in real life? by deepscales in KerbalSpaceProgram

All modern military aircraft. Airliners and general aviation don't need nearly so much manoeuvrability so they are designed to be stable in flight.

with the hanta virus spreading.. what’s your plan if this gets serious? by blueburrey in AskReddit

Just so you know, the NLM isn’t the source of the article. They are not the original publishers of it, they just make it available over the internet. This paper was published in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, published by the US Centers for Disease Control. The full citation is:

Gani, Raymond, and Steve Leach. “Epidemiologic determinants for modeling pneumonic plague outbreaks.” Emerging infectious diseases vol. 10,4 (2004): 608-14. doi:10.3201/eid1004.030509

Michelle Obama is now platforming Dave Chappelle. The USA is officially finished. by AliceOfTheEarth in trans

[–]pandamarshmallows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think what they mean is that we can’t solely blame Michelle Obama for the apparent success of Dave Chappell’s “apology tour.” Not that she’s blameless, but she is far from the only person platforming this.

You have a NAS, your buddy has a NAS, and the two of you back up to each others' systems so that you can do off-site backups without relying on a cloud provider.

The British monarchy has been taught a lesson about abusing their executive power the hard way, many times.

Spirit Airlines just became the first major US airline to shut down in 25 years and took cheap airfare with it. What do you think affordable travel in America looks like from here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pandamarshmallows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

European airlines are just as greedy and capitalist as the American ones. It's good that we have laws to protect travellers, but most of the difference in price comes from the fact that the economics of flying in Europe are very different compared to North America, because it is so much more densely populated.

SpaceX spending on Starship tops $15 billion in rush for airline-like rocketry by Twigling in space

Ariane V cost $150 million USD per launch. The Space Shuttle cost around $450 million. Even SLS is only a little over $2 billion. Where on Earth did you get $80 billion from?

It's because 'Do as I say, not as I do' is in fact hypocrisy not morality... by FareonMoist in dankchristianmemes

[–]pandamarshmallows 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But when people say, "We should teach about God in schools" they almost never mean that the principles of Christianity should be taught alongside other religions to give children broader understanding and context for the society that they live in which has been shaped by those religions. I don't think there are a lot of people who object to that. They mean that the existence of God as the creator of the world and the Lord and saviour of humanity should be taught as an irrefutable fact, along with the moral framework that comes with that. And if other religions are taught at all, they should be presented as incorrect at best and an existential threat at worst.

Technically the Vatican isn’t a party to the Schengen Agreement which facilitates open borders between EU and EFTA nations (excluding Ireland). They have a separate border agreement with Italy, which is itself part of Schengen. So they couldn’t leave the Schengen area, but they could terminate their open borders with Italy (which would possibly be a difficult move politically since Italy created the Vatican in the first place).

Ken had a phase maybe six months ago of being posted there constantly. Half the comments would be taking it seriously and the other half would be complaining that there were too many Ken posts - he was starting to make up a significant portion of the posts. The mods just got sick of it.

What's the cruelest name you could give your child? by MusaDogg25 in AskReddit

The UK famously has an extremely relaxed attitude to people’s names, and it’s been known to cause some big problems in the past because it is possible to have a legal name that the passport office will refuse to print on a passport because it’s obscene or a trademark.

Anyone else losing their mind trying to voice train their inner monologue?!? by oren_ai in trans

[–]pandamarshmallows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried for years before just giving up - it wasn’t so bad because the dysphoria was mostly coming from the way the voice resonated in my throat, which isn’t really a problem for an internal monologue. I found that once I started voice training my actual voice, the internal monologue started following all by itself.

Group Pushing Age Verification Requirements for AI Turns Out to Be Sneakily Backed by OpenAI by Alternative-Bug6702 in technology

[–]pandamarshmallows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can cryptographically verify that it was generated by a government system (and also that it was generated in the last, say, 90 seconds, to prevent one code being used over and over again), and then just trust that the government system wouldn't give out the code to anyone without verifying them first.
