I think most people have a pretty good idea they're gonna die when it happens, but yes, hitting the ground at the speed of a bullet doesn't give a lot of time to suffer.

Happy election day, to those that celebrate.

Does anyone have that cartoon with the father, the son, and the (brown) immigrant, and he's telling his son that the immigrant is a better son because he works harder and doesn't demand as much allowance?

Someone pulled ATC radio from N722BD in May. It's got cowboy shit written all over it. ATC: Why are you descending Girl: Experiencing moderate chop, unable to hold altitude ATC: If you can't hold altitude, that is *severe turbulence*, are you experiencing severe turbulence? Male pilot: It's moderate chop!

Welp, Vivek Ramiswami lost, so I can go to bed now.

Happy Election Day Do you know that we're not voting our way out of this? (you do) Are you gonna stand in line anyway? (You are)

Conspiracy theory: Every time someone proposes to end daylight savings time, they're taken in a Classified room where the Social Security Administration shows them what the impact on heart attack deaths would do to the federal budget and they come out in terror and soon after rescind their proposal.

Nobody wants to admit this, but that's just not the story. What actually happened is mass immigration created ethnic blocs that voted for their own interests over those of the country. I'm part ethnic Irish, my people are part of this story. We got imported into Massachusetts because they wanted cannon fodder to fight against the south. But after that war, we were treated like shit, nobody would give us a job. And what'd we do? We voted for whoever would promise to treat us better. Fast forward a few decades, Saint Patrick's Day parades through Boston, every third cop is a Mickey or a Paddy, construction everywhere, we got our jobs. But we could never fully understand or care about the problems of native Massachusetts people because we weren't them and we didn't understand them. This same story has played out over and over, with the Italians, the Mexicans, the Chinese, and the Blacks, and it's starting to play out with the Indians. It's not that they're BAD PEOPLE, they vote for what anyone in their shoes would vote for - to put food on their table, it's just that that's NOT what's best for the country as a whole.

Oh, I thought she pulled this down in shame, it's just old and YT only showed it to me once and then once more.

Fightin' words

> Why do you get a spark off an ignition coil when you *open* the points (cutting the power) ? > Why does the pipe burst when you close the valve to the sink ? For 99% of applications, you really don't need to understand the physics of induction, just understand that electricity in a wire has "inertia" and opening a switch is like closing a valve.

Happy All Saints Day.

Misread that as "V12: The case for 9 bit AES keys" which is a significantly funnier title.

Tritium isn't THAT dangerous, it's a gas that should disperse pretty quickly. However it is the hydrogen used in hydrogen bombs, so sabotage to prevent a US military chimp-out is not out of the question. A lot of nuclear bombs has a terrible shelf life and need to be assembled immediately before use, so it's not entirely unrealistic that sabotage could actually work in this case. RT:
