Lmao that too. We use kilopounds as well because tons are too easily confused with metric tons

Rankine is used in chemical engineering calcs because a lot of US chemical plants are built in US Customary units and it’s a lot easier to calculate in Rankine and keep everything in that system than try to convert back and forth between K and F.

If nothing else I feel like more people would be killed with Shinzo Abe guns and similar hardware store contraptions

Oh God it’s a Seebeck effect fan isn’t it? That’s almost nothing anyway lol

There areodern pictures of these because some places have moved them to museums or left them up as a lesson of how bad things were within living memory.

If you’re in the US this is sad

I love all the people scrambling to come up with some reason other than racism that the halftime show was bad because literally everything else they’re criticizing also applies to every ither halftime show in the past 30 years

I’m 90% sure this thing effectively does nothing and just spins when hot air flows over it due to natural convection to make it look like it’s doing something.

I wish it were for political reasons but honestly the main reason for me is that reddit just sucks now. It’s way too sterile and predictable.

In the latest Epstein files, it was revealed that Epstein met up with Christopher Poole (Online name- Moot), creator of 4chan, on like the day before /pol/ was created.

Well relatively speaking. Up until the Trump era both major parties in the US were essentially liberal parties before the Republicans became a far right party. The right wing nationalists in other countries would probably be moderate Democrats by US standards.

This reminds me of a hilarious side quest in The Witcher 3 where a wizard gets locked out of his tower because he didn’t know it was equipped with a Defensive Regulatory Magicon (DRM) when he bought it and the only way to fix it is with Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimoire (GOG). GOG is the game store started by CD Projekt to sell DRM free copies of old games.

Welp that sucks time to find a new platform

Homie it was literally 2000 years ago and social norms have changed dramatically.

It’s because Americans don’t give a shit about anything. Europeans actually have the balls to do something if their governments but Americans will just let their government do anything as long as the marvel and Disney slop keeps flowing into their troughs.

Jesus comes across as kind of mean to his disciples at times. It’s less obvious in some of the other gospels, but in Mark, which is a lot shorter and contains a lot fewer sermons, the dialogue with the disciples really stands out and Jesus often admonishes them for pretty understandable things. Jesus isn’t really portrayed by the gospels as being “divinely chill” so much as having infinite wisdom and little patience for people who are wrong.

Yo why does the “Chad” in this meme look like Jeffrey Epstein?

I’ll go against the grain and say literally all of it. Every piece of technology that exists is a compromise between what the designer wants to do and the constraints of what is practical or possible to actually pull off. Therefore, all technology “fails” on at least some metric the designer would like it to achieve. Technology is all about improvement and working with imperfection. If we don’t keep trying to make things better, then innovation stops. With your example of VR, I’d say that after having seen multiple versions of VR in my lifetime, the one that we have now is way more successful and impactful, especially in commercial uses rather than consumer products. Engineers can now tour facilities before they are built with VR headsets to see design flaws that they might not have seen just with a traditional model review, for example. Furthermore, what we have now is just an iteration on what we had before. It doesn’t happen in a vacuum, people take what came before, look at what worked and what didn’t, and what could be fixed with other technologies that have developed in the meantime. That’s the iteration process.

American Christians- Protesting in a church is wrong!

Literally Jesus Christ Himself-

That’s from the Epstein Files. The way they were pulled from the emails messed up the formatting so half the emails in the Epstein files have weird random equals signs.
