Slaves were often given the job of overseeing other slaves. There are some interesting incentives and punitive practices that come into play, but I don't think they're applicable to the comparison being made.

If rail isn't profitable due to lack of demand, it likely also isn't environmentally friendly. The rail efficiency sold to the public is based on projections that (generally) also made them profitable. Rail efficiency decreases dr

The term you're looking for is LCA (Life Cycle Analysis). Includes energy and emissions calculations that take into account embedded costs. Might also search for Sustainability Engineering.

That's not smart for a number of reasons. But why not just give the template to legal and let them do their job? Or just write and snail-mail a letter from yourself. People respond surprisingly well to requests and offers in a personal

Knots and nautical miles are interesting because the nautical mile was originally based on latitude: one minute (1/60 degree) of latitude was 1 nautical mile. So an airplane traveling due north at 120 knots would cover 2 degrees of lat

The fact that you would automatically react in this way is itself a reason to send it to the lawyers and have it go through a different department and chain of command. Make it a legal and business decision instead of a technical one. And

You don't even need to threaten. Just a letter of representation from a lawyer is magically effective for things like this. ETA: We refer to it as "6mins and a stamp".

I meant more left/right thrust to control yaw without sacrificing your stealthy edges, not necessarily the full f-22 capabilities. Ie, not needing to actuate control surfaces on the wings (or minimize the need), in the context of not h

The fact that there's a shadow at the top for the wall, but not on the right side tells me it's not covered with anything solid. (Compare to the shadow of the other building.) Look at the top of the wall shadow. The canvas/wh

Just wait until the general public finds out about the evolutionary/ selective pressures caused by a severity-reducing but non-sterilizing vaccine. The general public won't "trust the science" ever again.

Same reasoning would apply moreso to NGAD. And I'm suggesting in addition to, not instead of. A second iteration wouldn't necessarily be a "super fighter", but a cheaper, relatively conservative improvement on the existi

None of that is true. Stealth for jets isn't primarily designed for plan view. (Referring to radar cross section isn't just a generic use of the term for "detectable area of return".) Even if it was stealthy from above

No- there would be a solid shadow down the right side of the structure (look at the right side of the bigger hanger in the zoomed out image). The simple explanation for the shadow is that they left the solid end (wall) of the structure up.

The US satellite operators (like the one that took this image) cooperate extensively with the NGA. The only things getting released in hi-res are the things they don't mind you (or want you) seeing. Especially if it's of a milita
