I am willing to be wrong on this, as I’m not a physicist and I’m going from memory. But I thought that nothing could travel faster than light because spacetime is interconnected. So as something travels “faster” it is simply moving more thr

This feels like a deliberate straw man. I never said it ruined my entire experience. Also, you go on to talk about mundane everyday interactions. I think if you flew to a different continent to do a multi-day hike meant to be a once in a li

Landing weight limits are less than takeoff limits because of the extreme stress it puts on the landing gear. This is why planes that have an issue right after takeoff often need to dump tens of thousands of gallons of fuel before they can

>If you overpower a signal, is there a difference? Yes, obviously. Losing signal on your GPS unit, and having your GPS unit tell you that you are in a different position than you actually are, are two very different things. Also, since o

You can order drinks at a bar and on an airplane, what's your point? Do you go out to eat specifically to talk to cashiers? If i want fine dining, being served is part of the experience. But if I want a good bowl of ramen, I can't

Sure, the idea of revenge is attractive to me as well. But I really don't want the legal system to operate at the level of my base emotional desires. If a crime is bad enough that there should be no second chance, segregate them from s

But artillery barrages don't delivery 100% of their payload in the first round. If your building is hit with the first round, yes you'll be dead. But there will be a second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. round coming and many people

The issue is that with a sample size of one (or three), then it is basically bad luck. If you get a bad unit (or a good unit) it doesn't really tell you much how reliable the other 100,000+ units are and how reliable the brand is. If y

But reality is never as perfect as the design. It seems to me that being able to "stand" in a rendering and look around is going to put you much closer to reality than looking at blueprints and a front elevation. So i don't t

As others have said, this is covered in the "What's the most accurate translation?" section, with examples of Textual, Poetic, and Interpretive fidelity differences. The Emily Wilson translation begins with an extensive intro

I just got the X3 and i love it for all those reasons. I have a card holder wallet that it fits right onto so I have it everywhere. I am reading so much more instead of checking my phone to fill random down time. I wondered if the small siz

This just strikes me as the false dichotomy that there are two option; complete freedom of choice, and complete mind control that you are physically incapable of resisting. That as long as you are not physically incapable of, say turning of

I think you vastly underestimate how maintenance requirements impact how rapidly you can bring forces to the fight and how long you can keep them there. While that is exacerbated by long supply lines, it is an extremely important factor in

Those are really two different things. One is the computer vision that could be “hard coded” and the other is the image library, that would be updated regularly. Look at facial recognition. You can download and run a facial recognition LLM

You read on a phone and on a tablet, so the X4 probably isn't for you. I hate reading for long periods on LCD screens. I have to do it all day at work and I don't want to do it at home. I read on a kindle unless I really need a co

I used to be in a house that needed a dehumidifier. I bought one with a built-in pump to empty the water tank, which can be tapped into an AC drain line, sink drain, or directly outdoors, depending on your situation. You can set many of the

Just about anything can be turned into a bomb. Take a coffee cup, a smart watch, and 5 lbs of C4, and it could easily be turned into a bomb, for example.

Moving a six-figure Audemars Piguet or Patek Philippe watch through an airport would be much easier than the equivalent in gold or cash, even at 50% value. A watch roll with four watches in it could be the same value as 4-5 lbs of gold. If
