If Iranian hackers were so elite, they would have done something cool like erased student loan debt. Instead, they’re busy toppling Minecraft servers and trying to find anything they can use other than cell phones or pagers. Terribly un1337 of you, Ayatollah.
Y’all know why there aren’t any more Robber Barons right? ✊👷
It’s been a long way down for one of Reddit’s top powermods.
(I don’t care if it’s debunked, it’s simply a conspiracy theory I choose to believe. It’s too perfect.)
Well this shit is gonna trigger a recession
They gotta go back to filming it on cell phone cameras.
PHILLY MENTIONED! Go birds.
Wish they still filmed it here.
Ah, I appreciate the correction. I’m not an engineer but the youngest cousin of a clan of them, so I just got the highlights of the true evil genius shit. :p
Ah, well, then I stand corrected. I was just looking for an excuse to drop an old timey comic anywho.
Most countries give up when they are only one gun away from total peace.
Comics from 1900 - 1938 were fucking amazing. I guess because fewer people could read back then, they needed gags in strips to really only exist on a visual level. I’m sure people read gags out then showed the picture to a group of workers or travelers.
Here’s a sheet of one-panel from 1910. I think these were by Rube Goldberg, before he did his machine illustrations.
This is basically how a rail cannon coil gun works, just with electromagnets that can reverse their polarity.
It’s a powerful way to accelerate anything — I think it’s most famously used in those types of metal roller coasters that start you at a flat-with-the-ground angle, and then just fuckin launch you up a ramp to 45° with electromagnets. The issue is that you need a fuckton of energy to do that.
What we need for true perpetual energy is to just capture that guy Blanka from Street Fighter.
Young lady, in this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
“Most of us aren’t armed”? Homie US citizens own 120 guns per 100 people. The fucking answer to absolutely every problem here, left or right, has been to arm themselves. We have literally never had more left-wing people carrying pistols.
Like Jesus Christ, someone got shot and killed at the ‘No Kings’ rally in Idaho, and all three parties involved were left-wing. I am not sure what planet you’re on, but it ain’t Earth.
WhoBird is way better, you are correct. I switched recently, myself. I appreciate that they pull the model onto your phone so you can use it while hiking.
It is definitely not the only tool a serious birder should use, but, paired with a monocular and a traditional bird book? I am spotting 100x the birds I used to as a kid.
Side note, I am so excited that there is a vibrant birding community here! I have been interested in it since I was a young autistic boy. It’s amazing how fruitful of a hobby it can be when you can only afford a 60-year-old bird book from the thrift store. 😀
I respect that, but at the same time, if you don’t make time for leisure, 30 years will disappear down the drain in a blink of an eye. Nobody is going to make that space for you; you have to advocate for yourself.
This is going to be especially interesting once Republicans of retirement age realize that ‘no Medicare’ means them, too.
Woah. I hadn’t looked at this project in a year or so. It has made huge strides.
