Disagree. I'm in the 'young' bracket here but researching geopolitics/military is something of a hobby for me. I'm not arguing that the young are all like me, but rather that I applaud my generation for being skept

I'm building an airplane. Also have a small machine shop in the garage so stock and occasionally tooling.

I think it depends on the type of delivery/carrier. I've had full size lift gate trucks deliver pallets to my house and they were responsible for getting 1000lb oversized pallets out and down from the truck in one piece. They we

Another way to think about it: the average person has no context for oppressive/non-oppressive, at least relative to our standards. US children have freedom hammered into their heads the second they start in school. This obviously is

This. Try to find interviews with the average Chinese citizen. Things work very differently over there. Most of them are pretty happy to live in their little information bubbles in much the same way the those in the west do, though they

HARM is more of a defensive missile at this point. The strategy revolves around SDB and JSOW saturation attacks. Both are mildly stealthy weapons with long ranges, relatively low cost and aircraft can carry large numbers of them, particul

The point being the medication has no effect on ones ability to safely operate an aircraft. The issue is, yes, there are ADHD cases that are debilitating but they typically don't even make it out of training. If you're managing t

They do this to everyone with ADHD as well. They don't understand the condition and have a lot of weird 1950s assumptions. You can't be medicated and fly and if you're diagnosed but unmedicated you need to go through extrem

I work embedded so pretty much everything falls into R&D in the field. Like obviously stay away from maintenance projects but most new development is a science project in my experience.

"Crimes" Next up, hunting drug users, people who get abortions, jaywalkers, the homeless, etc. Hyperbole? Yeah, duh, but also the reality a significant portion of society wants to realize. Don't enable these people.

I fall into this group. I've so far found it to be a strength (mostly). R&D/prototype style work benefits highly from having generalists around. Most normal people just don't have a lot of breadth in terms of knowing wh

It's a political cudgel. People arguing for the bill believe those against it want to give 5yo kids a lecture on sex positions but in reality there's a lot of material to cover in the window they're banning that isn't th

I'd say given most schools track records it's better to prevent the onset bullying than it is to just forbid bullying...

In addition to this, white collar workers are going to align a little more left and it makes them feel better if the company isn't cheering for gays to be lynched or whatever. It's generally easier to hire for highly educated pos

I'm guessing maybe you were probably cis-hetero? No judgment if that's the case, the vast majority of people will be fine in that regime. However, when I was growing up we did have non typical kids in class and they were very mu

I guess the way I envision this is if you have a sufficiently elliptic orbit, at periapsis you're throwing propellant out the back to a standstill/non-orbital trajectory and at apoapsis you're throwing it into a higher orbit

You can fly backwards in a Cessna pretty trivially. Anything with a low ish stall speed will have that happen on a windy day.

Yet another pre-processor-to-victory post. Check the header in the source. If we're going to use crazy header files, I want to see someone get the linux kernel to build and boot while including this: https://gist.github.com

They don't have warheads designed for surface strike. Do you mind elaborating on what you mean by this?
