Should also note that the Orion design most people are familiar with is from the 60s, when the latest in engineering used vacuum tubes. Modern innovations in material science, computer assisted design, and just technology that just simply d

It's not the average that's the problem, is that it has hard stutters from when you do something like swing or rotate the camera around and force a lot of new things to load. Also there's no fps limiter so I can't stop t

Actually even before that we have to figure out how the logistics of any sort of ban involving porn models will even work when said models are made open-source and are smeared out across a million websites, discord servers, and torrents; wi

The big desirable thing about the EU is it's strong social net and relatively modern urban infrastructure. If you like the city or don't have a safety net from some other auxiliary source such as family or church it's superio

Don't forget part of the reason a lot of older cars can survive an accident is because they don't have crumble zones. That's great for the structural integrity of the car, not so much for the humans that interact with it. It&

I have to wonder how much the tips on those new advanced checkout terminal actually go towards the particular worker; most of the time it just seems like a default situation where the business barely understands how to setup the terminal le

I know a police officer who said the department got rid of their detector after it flooded them in noise, either from completely false reports, bad isolation of places like shooting ranges, or just pointless stuff like some redneck plinking

Yeah, the dreadnaught arms race of the first part of the 20th century was kinda an anomaly in ship design, especially considering how little big-gun naval battles happened despite two world wars. Turns out up-armoring ships hard enough that

Fortunately, the fissile nuclear core was stored elsewhere on the aircraft While I'll admit that is very effective failsafe, did they actually require the crew to do bomb surgery with a demon core during flight if they needed t

Huh, thought this was about people on the right trying to ban books over "sexual degeneracy" or whatever, instead its people on the left trying to ban books over "equity". Man librarians just can't catch a break

There used to be these massive electronic experiment kits you'd get from like Radioshack during the early 2000s. Like this: [0][1]. I haven't found any all-in-ones with the same depth sold today but maybe someone else has found so
