I don’t think this headline belongs to this article.

The article is talking about how the study referenced a non-existent source

PC load letter‽ What the fuck does that mean?

Haha, I just thought the ridiculously oversized shoe was a clever way to say he was a clown for trying this. Looks like I am the actual clown lol.

Not an answer to your question, but years ago I used to work at best buy. My employee discount was 5% over cost. I could purchase their $200 service plan on an appliance for about $15. With the discount, definitely worth it.

The earth is rotating bro. It is not static. that’s literally why there are jets streams and prevailing wind patterns. If you could actually use a rotating body as a static reference frame, the stars in the sky would be spinning around your reference frame every 24 hours. Any star doesn’t have to be very far away before it needs to move faster than the speed of light to complete it’s rotation (which is not possible). Go spin a basketball. I promise you the 2 sides are moving in opposite directions from any reference frame that is not spinning (bc reference frames by definition are not spinning)

I see how you don’t understand reference frames. From any reference point, the 2 sides of the globe are moving differently. If you consider 1 side stationary, the other side of the earth is moving 3200 km/hr relative to you. If you’re at the core both sides are moving in opposite directions. I think you could teleport from one pole to the other and be ok. Reference frames by definition cannot be rotating.

The surface of the earth at the equator is moving at ~1600 km/hr in order to rotate fully in a day. If you teleport to the opposite side of the planet, you’ll still be moving at that speed but the surface there is moving in the opposite direction. You will now be having a very bad day.

Really really good at cutting things in half though. I think it still counts as a super power

Hey, the second one is Lake Illinois now!

This is a very interesting concept. They would have to be born in order to be a (natural born) citizen I think. But, it should still work because the census is required to count residents not citizens

ED can be a long term symptom of traumatic brain injury. TBI is super common for anyone deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan

The point of bringing up the treaty is just to point out that the result of the situation you are describing was so scary that for about 30 years the 2 biggest nuclear powers agreed not to do it. That is all to say that one answer to your question is " US and Russia pretty much saw your scenario resulting in inevitable full scale nuclear war"

US and Russia used to have a treaty against either country developing anti-ballistic missiles. The idea was that if 1 party trusted their ABMs too much, they would no longer care about a counter attack, and that would undermine the MAD doctrine.

Doritos and cottage cheese

I went to one in a small Illinois city today. We had about 1000 people which is crazy for our area. I bet the nola gathering was nuts.

There’s always an xkcd. After seeing the one in 2017, I could not believe how many people would not listen to me about how much they needed to be there for the 2024 one. “Yeah, i can see 90% at my house. It’ll be close enough”. No!!! No it won’t!

ABC agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit that they could have easily won. Apparently, they thought it would be better to just give Trump money than it would be to piss him off by fighting it.
