How so? Are you implying that the only way out of the current West-East impasse is through the death of its leaders? This is not how it panned out in Cuba, China, North Korea, Venezuela, etc.

The technology has existed for the better part of 100 years now, and only myopic number crunchers who drove American car manufacturers to the ground kept the suspension from going into the mustang. However, the Escalade should probably stil

Pittsburgh has well over 200 bridges. It’d be a failure every 5 years. Ill stick to our current failure rate, thank you. IT “reliability” rates isn't that impressive in other fields of engineering.

Color photography has been around for a long time, but wasn't practical until after the war. But, consider all the color films from before the war. There must have been a color method for there to be a movie!

Field of depth is, de facto, determined by the sensor size. FoD is why SLR guys like me salivate over a 1.4 50 mm lens, not the added stop of light (especially not if you’re using digital - up the ISO)

No, my judegement wouldn't be different if a similar number of “healthy, athletic” were somehow pegged as high COVID risk (perhaps a genetic marker?). What forms my opinion are their small numbers. Its easy to cater to the exception,

People are afraid to die, and some people will do anything to lower the risk (ironically, life is still 100% fatal). These people will get angry at you for something dangerous even if you don't endanger them! If you rode motorcycles yo

The dollar is the world reserve currency. The extra printed money is diluted over an economy more than four times as large. France (now the EU) does the same thing by forcing its ex-colonies to use the convertible franc. France’s inflation

Rogan will defend himself; the CNN Dr. looked like an ass on the show. But in fairness, even then, Rogan attacked his employer and not the individual.

If you’ve seen Neil Young comment on anything on TV… Rogan would eat him alive. I actually hate it when I agree with NY on a topic (quite often) because he makes my side look like the looney toon side.

Could a turbo-pump can be thought of as a very bad transformer? able to transform a flow mv1 at a pressure P1 to mv2 P2 where their product, power is constant (except its way more lossy). Still, I think the water analogy is over used
