American weight creep. Like the newest Bradleys weight like 30 tons, slightly heavier than a WW2 medium tank and twice as heavy as a BMP (which the Bradley was suppose to be a copy of).

Ya he pull that out of his ass one day and send a company wide email telling everyone that was the new standard, basically so he could win a Twitter argument. Which is insane becuase it would either make the trucks 100x more expensive or is just physically impossible becuase he didn’t specify what temperature he was talking about. Also, if anyone has seen a Cybertruck, it is immediately obvious that they don’t bother checking tolerances anyways.

Lol, I want Biden to stay the candidate becuase I think it will be really funny to see how bad it gets by November, also being constantly humiliated and abused for 5 months is the least that this man deserves.

AOC wants Biden to stay the candidate for much stupider and more childish reasons.

He is still on the Bad Faith podcast branding even though he has not appeared on the show in 4 years, people have speculated that BGJ is contractually obligated to keep him on there and potentially has to give him some of the money.

If so, it kind of an impressive long con on Virgil’s (not his real name btw) part. Got popular on Chapo, siphon some of the audience onto a Patreon he has exclusive rights over, disappear after like 2 months of the show starting, and just keep collecting those Patreon bucks without doing anything.

I’m going to become the Alex Jones of Blue Maga.

It was a false flag folks. The “shooter” was a Groyper connected agent. The Secret Service ignored all warnings and proper protocol, confirmed by my FBI source (a guy that worked in the Hoover Building cafeteria). Trump wasn’t even hit, they smeared cranberry sauce on his ear.

I’m going to make so much money riling up the Biden diehards. But importantly I will not make any of the mistakes Alex did.

False flag hologram with no inherent ideology

They almost reopened the mine in Asbestos, the Quebec Liberal Party had a deal all ready to reopen it with government money in an attempt to appeal to blue-collar workers. But the Parti Quebecois (the socdem party) won the election before they could implement it and diverted the money to economic diversification programs.

He use to sell coffee made by the Zapatistas and would talk them up in his sales pitch, although he tried to make them seem like American-style libertarians who were rebelling against the Mexican government

Lol, the ASVAB is like a basic literacy test, and even then the military gives out frequent waivers for failing it.

I read on Twitter, so a completely unsubstantiated rumor, that he acutally got disqualified becuase he sent his recruiter a video of him disassembling and reassembling an AR which the recruiter found threatening.

NASAs version of this is called StarTram, it’s feasible but there are some major technical hurdles.

In the prototype stage, the launch velocity at the end of the gun would not be anywhere near the 10 km/s you would need to achieve orbit. But you could reach a sizable fraction, say 3 km/s. Becuase the velocity gained during rocket flight is not linear with mass, having that 3 km/s inital boost would reduce your overall rocket mass by like 80%. The rocket would clear the atmosphere and then fire its motor to gain a stable orbit.

We can achieve 3 km/s with current technology, it would require like a 100 km long maglev in a very low pressure tube, likely built on the side of a mountain. It could probably reduce space flight costs by a factor of 10 if completed.

Building the proposed goal of a human rated version capable of reaching near 10 km/s at the end point would be much more difficult. The tube would have to span over 1,000 km and I don’t believe we have the technology yet to maintain the vacuum or supply enough power quickly enough to power it.

China is likely proposing to build a testbed system to start researching the concept. Probably on a larger scale than NASA has but nowhere near a complete system.

People will unironically tell you to watch Evangelion this way.

Lol of course it’s the fucking Atlantic, these people need to be banished to the countryside like during the Cultural Revolution, Chairman Mao was too kind and let most of those loser back to the cities, we can’t afford to make the same mistake this time.

Henry Cellular is the only openly anti-abortion Dem in Congress (who Pelosi campaigned for against a pro-choice primary challange in 2022). But there are a few Dem’s who’s position isn’t really clear becuase they are in GOP leaning areas. Like Joe Manchin goes to both anti-abortion and pro-choice events.

Wait, that’s not how canals work, the water can’t flow up a canal from 200m below.

This stuff always reminds me of China’s nuclear program in the 60s. Like once the Sino-Soviet Split happened the US literally just assumed that Chinese people were too stupid to produce an atomic bomb. Even after China’s first nuclear test in '64 the US would not recognize them as a nuclear power, and kept insisting they would be unable to develop nuclear armed ballistic missiles or thermonuclear weapons, both of which were then tested in the next two years and both times it was deeply shocking to the US foreign policy blob.

Also, the US went on to learning nothing from this becuase the exact same thing happened with North Korea which went from their first nuclear test to thermonuclear weapons in 10 years. Like in the early stages North Korea was very willing to surrender their nuclear weapons program for lifting of sanctions, but the US would never negotiate in good faith becuase they genuinely believed the North Koreans were to primitive to proceed to the next stage of development.

Ya, this has to be a high-effort and high-concept gag by someone who’s too online.

They have half a communist but it’s split between Roz and Alice

Stancil as great, I hope he never gives this up. Like its been explained to him dozens of times every day for three years now that peoples experience of the economy really can’t be captured in macroeconomic data and ultimately it’s people’s lived experience that will drive voting in 2024. And yet every day he logs on with a new GDP chart and screams at people that their should change their opinion on the economy becuase of the chart.

Also the only people that follow him and engage with him are leftists who are there to make fun of him.

I’ve flown several times in China and the food is pretty good compared to American flights and they make a point of giving you a meal on flights over like 3 hours. Like its not that expensive to heat up airplane food and people generally appreciate it if it’s not disgusting.

On the one hand it’s very lib to be reading Piketty; but on the other Ninety-Three is Hugo’s best and most revolutionary novel and dosen’t get a lot of attention becuase of it. So I guess it’s a wash.
