I would even pay a few bucks (one time, not a subscription) to license this software for use. I would love to use Unison for my personal projects, but I'm not about to get locked-in to something, I'd rather build something myself

Asocial? I guess autistic people are out! I assume you’re young: there are many reasons people might be perfectly good at a job but not want to socialize with those people, or any other people. This whole thread makes me sad as an unemploye

As for scanning: $30mm doesn't seem like a ton of money to scan 800 scrolls with untold history and other works, compared to other uses of that amount of money I could name now. Maybe someone will donate that cost and perhaps all the s

Don't forget to accelerate in the opposite direction (move it down) once to see the starlight shift out of visual range! It's fun until about 95% of c then there is just blackness.

You misunderstand how many people are necessary to operate a sub at this scale, with all the machinery onboard, for weeks at a time. It’s on the order of a dozen rather than two or three for the current narco boats. Also, it would be way wa

Navy, we were technically under coast guard command during interdictions though. It was also ten years ago or more so they’ve probably upped their game by now on both sides. I don’t know about automated subs though, as three guys in a shitt

The boats they use for this smuggling are the least seaworthy vessels I think I’ve had the pleasure to experience. We caught one go-fast because all four engines died and it was sinking, so they radioed for our help since we were already ch

You don’t want this type of sub for drug smuggling, I chased the smugglers and this massive monster will definitely be harder to operate and disguise than what they use currently.

True, but it's also the cost of ~3 gas tanks of gas, which to me is pretty small in the long-term ownership of a car versus the risk of dealing with it being stolen, which would take longer than the 3 weeks that gas would get you aroun

Slightly cheaper meaning $50 to $160 according to Google. That seems like a really stupid thing to skimp on, so don't blame the consumer for this dumb decision. That's like 1% (corrected from 0.1%) of the price of a new car or som

We don't have a free society when predators can easily prey on victims like this with no repercussions. That's not freedom for the victims, that's just another form of prison. I personally don't know what the answer is,

Deck division does that work, and also runs the majority of special ops (not specops like the seals, just non-regular stuff) at sea so you don’t want the dumbest guys to flood the division, though that’s quite common.

Very much agree. One of my best sailors was an E-3 Seaman who was dropped from electronic tech training for a DUI and became an undesignated seaman, the worst job you can get in the navy. He was better at certain things than the chief who’s

No, I was a nuke coming into the navy, the hardest to recruit supposedly, and I was treated perhaps worse for it, but definitely no better. Boot camp is the same for all.

I was in the navy as an officer. It’s a toxic cesspool, probably worse after 15 years now. The whole military needs some changes but the navy needs to change more. Senior officers need to give more respect to the enlisted and junior officer

How do you suggest taking 24 FPS and turning it to 29.976 NTSC? A lot of times, they would just convert it 1:1, so the 24 frames would go by in a 24/~30th of a second, so it looked faster. Further, a lot of old, old film was actually m
