Wait’ll you hear about Japan.

Okay, again, I agree this is not in the slightest practical, but also, again, a train accelerating is not vertical g, horizontal g tolerance is much, much higher than vertical g tolerance, especially “eyeballs in” and it increases greatly the less time it is for. Some early experiments showed untrained people could handle around 20g for less than 10 seconds. Also blunt force risks could be mediated almost completely by ramping the acceleration slowly, first reminding people to brace, then gently forcing them back in their seats. Again, ludicrous, nothing designed for comfort of human passengers is ever going to be designed to accelerate anywhere near that quickly and it’s completely unnecessary anyways.


Lol I was certainly not claiming this was practical, just pointing out it wouldn’t be lethal in that sense.


Only 2 seconds of horizontal g? Not unless they weren’t securely against the seat and died due to blunt force trauma from being slammed into the seat back.


I’m transfemme and still no lol


The expression is often expanded to that, it is not an incomplete expression without though.


There is an expression in science that needs to be used more in polysci 'all models are wrong" The right wing vs left wing political spectrum is a model of political ideologies and a very simplistic one at that. It is also used interchangeably for fundamentally different political tenants. Large government-small government, authoritarian - libertarian, capitalist - socialist. Models are only as good as their ability to predict reality and they are always wrong, they are just simplified models of reality. The moment you are confused saying “but if this country is X-wing, why are they Y” You are either misunderstanding the model, misapplying the model, or are misunderstanding the actual value of a model.


Lol, forget a browser, is that even enough to run Windows 11 well?
(In before jokes about windows 11 ever running “well”)


Your level of brainwashing or bad faith is frightening but in addition to pointing out that your comments on the above sources are largely incorrect, I leave you with a 1994 Human Rights Watch report that details primary source documents, often from the CCP. https://www.hrw.org/reports/1994/china1/china_948.htm#_1_3 You can also find other HRW reports, published academic articles and government and NGO reports listed at endtransplantabuse.org I’m going to block you now.


Okay yeah, now that you’ve said it I can see that too XD


If you squint this is a weird shrine to a fictional marriage between Elvis and Britney Spears




Dailymail is not a reputable source.


An online message board is a type of social media yes. The Wikipedia definition seems solid:
“Social media are new media technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks.”


To make something able to handle higher g forces you must make it heavier, if it is heavier you require more fuel and launch power to get it to orbit. Mass drivers for orbit are of fairly dubious utility, especially for all but very compact very dense payloads. Being higher altitude at launch is of even more dubious utility for rocket launches, very little of a rockets energy is spent gaining altitude against gravity, as all fuel used fighting gravity is wasted. The bulk of a rockets thrust is used accelerating the rocket to orbital velocity. Even airplane launched rockets see limited use. For reference, the delta v (a measurement of how much a rocket can change the velocity of its payload) budget for low earth orbit is generally 9,300 to 10,000 m/s, the orbital velocity there is about 7,800 m/s. We’re talking about a fairly small fraction of a rockets ability saved before we figure in the expense and risk with making your payload and stages so much stronger and risking your delicate and typically much more expensive than the rocket payload with a much more physically violent launch. And the first chunk of a rocket launch is when you burn off a ton of the fuel while the rocket doesn’t get that much lighter relatively speaking, you’re mostly paying for fuel at that part of the process, and the fuel is far and away the cheapest part of a rocket.


Other people are unjustly over incarcerated isn’t a reason to over incarcerate more people


Tell that to the tremendous number of homeless people in poverty who have pets.
I wouldn’t actually want to live there but come on, the civil defense vibe of that old bathroom is fire. That said, great job, I second not quite being in love with the ceiling but still great.
