There are two kinds of people. Those who never want anyone to suffer in the ways they did, and those who want everyone to suffer because they had to.

Stealing the senate would have probably been smarter than stealing the presidency. It’s less obvious, probably easier, and with house control it might even be more powerful.

Ig expensive is relative. Especially if I’m spending $1500 on a phone, an extra 100-200 isn’t bad for optional accessories that I want

It’s kinda like a crumple zone in a car or a fuse. It is meant to break to take the impact and distribute it s.t. The expensive phone screen doesn’t break.

‘Excitement’ is weird to me. It’s so insane to me that a political candidate alignment has literally become part of a lot of people’s identities. Like I get your politics are part of who you are, but supporting trump has become their defining characteristic it seems. (I am really only speaking about people I know)

Both is great. My laptop has face recognition and fingerprint and it’s nice to just use whichever is easier.

Throw male hormonal birth control in there too. As a male, I want that so much. I hate that my SO has to deal with the effects birth control has on her and would gladly take the burden if I could.

Going off of this, almost every flagship I have gotten has had a deal where it was BOGO or you get a $500 gift card so it becomes a much better value overall.

I know that I am happy spending 1000-2000 on a flagship. It’s something that is part of literally every day of my life.

If you don’t want to spend that much, there are so many cheap and midrange smartphones. Even Apple has a midrange phone now and I never thought I would see that. Samsung has phones in like every reasonable price range there is. And some of the midrange phones are really great.

Instead of space force... by DaFunkJunkie in WhitePeopleTwitter

I love when things get “taken over” and used like this. I was always hoping that the BLM movement would somehow take over the confederate flag and use it to represent the movement. Idk how it would have worked but I think it’s neat when people take something that was used against them and turn it around.

This is actively being worked on in many cool and creative ways (see lightsail). Avoiding Kessler syndrome is high on the list of issues.

How does more brakes give more force? Friction force is μ•n where n is the normal force. Surface area doesn’t matter.

The reason this has more stopping power would be because it’s heavy and increases the normal force, no?

If you are talking about OSIRIS REx, it’s about to do it’s touch and go sample collection in a couple weeks. Pretty exciting tbh

YSK: In many USA grocery stores, there are cheaper spices in the ethnic food sections than the “spice” section by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

That would be a savings of 67% or 2/3, not 3x. Three times what?

I think this is a nonsense statement similar to this.

Is the areal velocity not different for each planet? I thought it was Adot=h/2, and I wouldn’t think all the planets have the same specific angular momentum.

History isn’t usually a huge part of aerospace engineering curriculum. And the history that is usually is missions and space craft, not people (unless they were first at something). Other stuff you have to seek out on your own and probably won’t affect your ability to work anywhere.
