Trump was later heard saying

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb. In the shape of an “L” on her forehead.

But cables wear out.

Don’t call me sir, I work for a living.

The difference between officers and enlisted (even enlisted “officers”) is well understood in the public domain. Just google the term “military officer”. You won’t find a reference to NCOs.

From the AI:

Here are some things to know about military officers: Pay grades Officer pay grades range from O-1 to O-10.

Army’s top-level page on “officers”: https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/find-your-path/army-officers

From the wiki:

Broadly speaking, “officer” means a commissioned officer, a non-commissioned officer (NCO), or a warrant officer. However, absent contextual qualification, the term typically refers only to a force’s commissioned officers, the more senior members who derive their authority from a commission from the head of state.

This just takes very little research for anyone writing an article on the subject. No, I don’t expect the laymen to automatically know the difference between an NCO and a commissioned officer, but we are talking about a journalist here. I suppose if you want to lower your standards for journalism, fine.

Is it laziness, or a corruption of our media and news outlets?

The term officer, alone, as it stands in the headline, is reserved for commissioned officers. No one in the military would assume that headline was referring to an NCO.

“Value” is not a term reserved for financial discussions. Don’t ruin the joke.

Great. So the Gov’t will have a quarter of its current value.

I already posted the relevant bit above. The history of this song in ice cream trucks was absolutely racist.

Apparently that turkey in the straw one is super racist- or rather the lyrics of the version that took off and led to ICT fame. I swear ours still plays it… I’ll have to listen closely next time I happen to hear it.

The first and natural inclination, of course, is to assume that the ice cream truck song is simply paying homage to “Turkey in the Straw,” but the melody reached the nation only after it was appropriated by traveling blackface minstrel shows. There is simply no divorcing the song from the dozens of decades it was almost exclusively used for coming up with new ways to ridicule, and profit from, black people.

That’s funny, because I think fishing is probably the best example to answer OP’s question.

I can recline my seat. And you can recline yours.

Everyone knows the CIA is filled with deep state swifties.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

IIRC there was a real world test of this idea some time ago and the results weren’t great. But imagine you do this in a tunnel- that will help improve the results and answer your question.

If you’ve ever been in a subway you’ve probably noticed the train pushes a wall of air ahead of itself. This is the energy you would need to capture. But by “capturing” it, you would inherently increase resistance on the airflow, and therefore the vehicle.

The reason you can’t imagine this being an issue in a typical roadside is the same reason the effect yields poor results. There is little in the way of channeling the air across the turbines, which also means there is little resistance on the passing vehicles. Of course the air in the atmosphere, pushing against the air your car moves ahead of itself, is the classic example of this overall effect.

Not sure where you got that idea from

I think it’s because you said, “Any system that gains some energy from a passing car,” not that anyone mentioned turbines explicitly.

Not advocating for peloton, but it’s not really that much work to dial up/down a spin bike. The point of letting the rider do it “manually” is because they may not be where the rest of the class is. They very likely need to customize the resistance.

The only real benefit here is in the real time feedback on the screen (calories, distance, etc) which also adjust with resistance, and visual queues if you’re keeping or not.
