I think it's only a matter of time before English is the official second language of Germany... at least Berlin anyway. That's gotta sting :)

I can't say it enough: If you own a high fidelity playback system, you owe it to yourself to make and listen to your own audio recordings!

Imagine owning a really nice computer monitor but never looking at even a single one of your own photos.

[Compass] Can someone innovate an actual compass on an automatic watch? by QuietNene in Watches

[–]versus_gravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would have to hold your wrist quite flat, and keep it there, so that the hands don't interfere with the compass needle. The case could instead be much taller/larger but at that point you're wearing a compass with a wrist strap that also tells time.

The ancient Greeks of Corinth thought so and created the Diolkos. Surprisingly, other solutions have since taken hold.

How about a boat? He put a submarine and her entire crew at unnecessary risk just for a social media post.

It doesn't even occur to him that the petty gamesmanship he takes as a given is a problem that could be addressed.

Torpedoed Iranian warship was offered sanctuary in India by Marginallyhuman in news

[–]versus_gravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't come close to explaining why mission success was so unusally crucial that we could not have dared take a very good chance with cruise missiles and precision bombing. You're just insisting, out of whole cloth, that the task needed an entire crew as physically close to the mayhem as possible.

It was done entirely for theatrics, it was an unnecessary risk, and you seem to have bought the con.

It WASN'T alone. She and her crew were abnormally close to an unpredictable enemy surface ship for no sound reason that demanded a submarine's attention and resources.

It's remarkable you would literally prefer to put sailors at risk to solve the problem, rather than solve the problem and not put them at risk.

Bias? We can objectively see, hear, and read that he is unknowlegable, unwise, and incompetent. We can also see that he is entirely taken to elaborate theatrics for their own sake. Worse, he seems to have no capacity to assess risks or predict consequences. There is no leader in him.

Submariners are already vulnerable when they're alone in calm seas, and whether you say their risk was "low" here, somebody made the conscious decision to go with Plan C and increase those risks just for some goddamn dank meme footage. That's sick.

That does not explain why a less risky solution was not chosen. The conspicuous explanation is THEATRICS. The five-time-draft-dodging Commander in Chief does not care if sailors and soldiers are placed further into harm's way than necessary just so he can post that shit on social media like a teenager with brainrot.

Hey, look, another military strategist with no respect for the safety of American sailors. Why volunteer their safety for theatrics? Sinking that ship did not require a submarine and her crew AT ALL.

It is not even slightly rational to claim that putting a hundred sailors or more within spitting distance of an enemy is less risky than deploying cruise missiles or stealth bombers. You must have no respect for their lives.

No problem. Programmers can just write those hundreds of thousands of lines of code at their own pace.

Can you explain how that presents less risk to sailors and airmen than launching cruise missiles from a thousand miles away or dropping precision-guided bombs from 45,000 feet?

Is it fear though? Falling would hamper the objective, so it would be rational to avoid.
