I think people who are too in love with their own rationality leave themselves vulnerable to some pretty ridiculous beliefs that common sense would normally guard them against. A suspension of common sense is certainly important sometimes,

I'm not really sure the 2020 Calabasa crash is a relevant example. That helicopter had a radio altimeter, and it surely wasn't being jammed. And before hitting the ground, the helicopter was descending at 20 m/s. The last

uMatrix makes more sense to me than ublock origin's advanced mode. Frankly I don't see the supposed complexity of umatrix's interface. If you call it a 'matrix' maybe that sounds exotic and scary, but really it&#x

Facebook has trod this path before too, with their solar powered ultralight 'pseudo-satellite' drone. That predictably didn't work.

On the other hand you have channels like Applied Science where he rarely ever mentions that he's employed by Google, except in rare Q&A videos. His channel is popular because he shows off really neat stuff in good detail, rather t

I'm pretty sure the non-biodegradable regular glitter can be eaten too, but your shit will sparkle. Harm to humans is not the primary concern with microplastics.

The way I see it, the game purports to be cyberpunk so it seems fair to judge the game as cyberpunk.

I guess he'd have to do it in a one-party consent state to be safe? But is this fundamentally different from all the surveillance camera footage of gas station robberies you can find online? Also I believe local news stations like to

I think you're overlooking an obvious middle ground.

The problem I have is the gushing praise for the director's technical or artistic skill, without any mention of anything else. The movie industry has protected and defended this guy for decades. Film professors who only want to talk

This guy sure gets a lot of milage out of his past employer. It's rare to hear him mentioned without NASA being mentioned in the same breath.

In the first class of a film elective I took in college, the professor read a list of movies and their directors we would be watching. When he got to Roman Polanski, he paused and glared around the room, as though daring anybody to voice a

I don't think I've ever seen an American strip mall without a wide sidewalk running in front of every business on the strip. The sidewalk is such an integral component of a strip mall, it sounds like what you're describing

AM seems great and all, but ABS still seems like a trash material to make a boat out of. Picking ABS sends strong "when all you have is a hammer..." vibes.

Almost certainly; look at the rough plastic surface of it. Sea water and UV will almost certainly degrade this boat and have it shedding loads of plastic. The only upside is they didn't choose to cover it in glitter, but such coating

A black plastic boat? I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume they chose black for a reason; many plastics degrade in sunlight; adding carbon black is an effective way to make plastic more resilient to UV. Probably this boat wo
