American weight creep. Like the newest Bradleys weight like 30 tons, slightly heavier than a WW2 medium tank and twice as heavy as a BMP (which the Bradley was suppose to be a copy of).

It's really confusing when he draws Trump 50 years younger but keep everyone else the same age. Also I see that he tried to butch up Vance, which makes him completely unrecognizable, I literally thought it was Don Jr.

Ya he pull that out of his ass one day and send a company wide email telling everyone that was the new standard, basically so he could win a Twitter argument. Which is insane becuase it would either make the trucks 100x more expensive or is just physically impossible becuase he didn't specify what temperature he was talking about. Also, if anyone has seen a Cybertruck, it is immediately obvious that they don't bother checking tolerances anyways.

I literally only have Minthara left in my evil playthrough and we have cast aside all pretense of the old morality and are revealing in our new perverse freedom.

However as a consequence the game is now really difficult becuase everyone, good or evil, hate us and want to kill us and I don't think I can acutally finish it.

Roscosmos atleast still have all the plans and drawings for the Soyuz family. NASA literally can't build another Saturn 5 rocket becuase all the companies that originally built it either merged or folded and most of the technical documentation is lost. NASA of course didn't try and archive any of it becuase it was the intellectual property of the five thousand subcontractors they used

Also the only reason it's spelled like that is becuase of inconsistent 19th century German spelling, it probably should have been 'Hiedler' or even 'Huttler'

Lol, I want Biden to stay the candidate becuase I think it will be really funny to see how bad it gets by November, also being constantly humiliated and abused for 5 months is the least that this man deserves.

AOC wants Biden to stay the candidate for much stupider and more childish reasons.

He is still on the Bad Faith podcast branding even though he has not appeared on the show in 4 years, people have speculated that BGJ is contractually obligated to keep him on there and potentially has to give him some of the money.

If so, it kind of an impressive long con on Virgil's (not his real name btw) part. Got popular on Chapo, siphon some of the audience onto a Patreon he has exclusive rights over, disappear after like 2 months of the show starting, and just keep collecting those Patreon bucks without doing anything.

I'm going to become the Alex Jones of Blue Maga.

It was a false flag folks. The "shooter" was a Groyper connected agent. The Secret Service ignored all warnings and proper protocol, confirmed by my FBI source (a guy that worked in the Hoover Building cafeteria). Trump wasn't even hit, they smeared cranberry sauce on his ear.

I'm going to make so much money riling up the Biden diehards. But importantly I will not make any of the mistakes Alex did.

False flag hologram with no inherent ideology

I usually try and solo bosses becuase I'm a Soulsborne pervert. But I was fighting Rellana last night and got her down to like 1% before dying. I wanted to go to bed, so I got the summon and used a Mimic Tear to just finish the fight.

The three-way curb stomping we did to her was ... horrifying, like I was ashamed at how easily and completely we humiliated her. I felt so guilty that I betrayed the git gud lifestyle that I'm beelining to Elden Beast and NG++ today so I can do the fight properly.

They almost reopened the mine in Asbestos, the Quebec Liberal Party had a deal all ready to reopen it with government money in an attempt to appeal to blue-collar workers. But the Parti Quebecois (the socdem party) won the election before they could implement it and diverted the money to economic diversification programs.

Insane to complain about historical accuracy with Assassin's Creed, like Yasuke (an acutal historical figure) is woke nonsense but the eternal war between the Assasins and the Templars (and aliens I think) is fine.

He use to sell coffee made by the Zapatistas and would talk them up in his sales pitch, although he tried to make them seem like American-style libertarians who were rebelling against the Mexican government

Lol, the ASVAB is like a basic literacy test, and even then the military gives out frequent waivers for failing it.

I read on Twitter, so a completely unsubstantiated rumor, that he acutally got disqualified becuase he sent his recruiter a video of him disassembling and reassembling an AR which the recruiter found threatening.

Lol, I remember when they invented this story years ago. The origin was literally a guy on Twitter seeing a picture from North Korea of one of those boards with different hairstyles at the barber that you can reference and just assuming that those were the only hairstyles that the government allowed.

That somehow generated multiple years of insane made up stories around hairstyles in North Korea, like there were stories claiming it was either forbidden or mandatory for men to get Kim Jong Un's signature cut, sometimes appearing in the same publication weeks apart.

For whatever reason they keep printing stories about North Korean haircuts, possibly becuase they are frivolous enough that they don't get any serious pushback despite how obviously absurd they are. Unlike other all-timer fake North Korea stories like nuclear testing creating zombies or their whole soccer team getting executed because they lost the World Cup.

Most of these extremely long continuous truss bridges were built in the US in the 70s and 80s because they were pretty cheap for such a long bridge. And people have recognized that they are uniquely vulnerable becuase a single point of failure could potentially take down the whole bridge. However a lot of them haven't had any retrofits to mitigate this issue.

God it's so embarrassing how many online libs are suddenly bridge engineers now and trying to explain away this disaster. Like their only explanation for this is that sometimes massive ships will just hit and collapse bridges and that fine.

Like no reflection on why a 50 year old bridge didn't have any modern protective measures, why massive Panamax ships are apparently seconds away from catastrophic impact every time it passes this thing, how they even let a ship on the verge of a double power failure into the harbor in the first place.

NASAs version of this is called StarTram, it's feasible but there are some major technical hurdles.

In the prototype stage, the launch velocity at the end of the gun would not be anywhere near the 10 km/s you would need to achieve orbit. But you could reach a sizable fraction, say 3 km/s. Becuase the velocity gained during rocket flight is not linear with mass, having that 3 km/s inital boost would reduce your overall rocket mass by like 80%. The rocket would clear the atmosphere and then fire its motor to gain a stable orbit.

We can achieve 3 km/s with current technology, it would require like a 100 km long maglev in a very low pressure tube, likely built on the side of a mountain. It could probably reduce space flight costs by a factor of 10 if completed.

Building the proposed goal of a human rated version capable of reaching near 10 km/s at the end point would be much more difficult. The tube would have to span over 1,000 km and I don't believe we have the technology yet to maintain the vacuum or supply enough power quickly enough to power it.

China is likely proposing to build a testbed system to start researching the concept. Probably on a larger scale than NASA has but nowhere near a complete system.
