What is really sad to read in this whole debacle is all the nihilists who think that the US government "should burn". These people are largely ignorant of all the ways their government works for them. One could say the government

For star drive, the force is transferred between the walls of the bit and the walls of the screw flush against each other. Like with gears. This leads to minimal wear and allows for wide tolerances and sloppy angles between bit and screw. S

I find this whole discussion tiring. Really you go after the fraudsters and their enablers. They're in another jurisdiction? Who moves the money for them? Go after those people. Look this is not fancy work. But writing about limiting m

This kindles a thought I've harbored for a long time: that I should be tracking my predictions. About everything. Because I feel I'm pretty good about predictions. How much am I deluding myself?

Most days I take the prevalence of scammers as given, as a sort of natural force. Then I read about their physical manifestation in towns and think that we should really rout out the mafia wherever it crops up. Cutting utilities is really d

It would set a precedent of him being part of polite society. Not appearing weaselly to his Nazi friends is more important to him. He has chosen.

The text itself is thought-provoking and worth a read. One takeaway is that it's easy to get lost in the churn; not as a society to take action when it's easier for each individual to mind their own business. And let society be to

Yes when he did not comment afterwards that it wasn't a Nazi salute, I decided to interpret it as one. It's not something that happened in isolation. I allow for the possibility that in the moment he didn't mean for it to be

Maybe that was lost in all the other noise domestically but in international news the extremist was quoted musing about annexing Panama, Canada, and Greenland. And recently Gaza? Not sure about Mexico.

I understand this thread started with you objecting to the assumption that polonium is harmful to humans. Going so far as to suggest that anything short of an RCT is not enough. Yet even if I read RCT results concluding polonium to be harml

Do I accept as fact that polonium is radioactive? Yes. Do I accept as fact that radioactive elements are poisonous to humans when absorbed? Yes. Do I accept as fact that Polonium from inhaled smoke particles will be absorbed? Yes. Which par

The fact that we read about single instances like this means some important things are not that fucked. Namely reporting on police misconduct happened and finally the money was returned. Looking at this the US is not particularly fucked. I

We expect same day or next day response. Of course only if you're in. But if you're not I might reassign. Also if it blocks me I will ping you in less than a day or straight away. My most common response is "needs no further

Airplanes use disc brakes. These can provide pretty much unlimited friction and are very destructive to the brake pads. They are effectively limited by the static friction of the tire and how much waste heat they can dissipate without blowi

The trick is not to lock and use static friction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiction Hm, the stiction page on Wikipedia does not explain how it relates to braking. Maybe check out https://en.m.wikipedi

Often I want to know the sequence of some events, what points are reached. Adding print statements is a quick way to trace that. How can tooling make that more convenient?

Snarky and ignorant, the two often come together. Because you seem unaware: Airplane wheels have very powerful brakes!
