Glaciers are also hella dangerous.

The thing you likely don't see is that crystal clear water is a churning death machine that'll pull you down and you never be found..

When I heard that Musk wanted 50 pages of code printed out, I knew the end was coming. That is the most useless metric you could possibly measure by.

The haphazard firings, then the "Please come back" we fucked up. The dismantling of anything resembling moderation on the platform.

The fact people are coming forward and telling tales of an environment being run by an unhinged lunatic with delusions of grandeur doesn't surprise me one bit. This is his shtick.

Though imagine your a DC engineer who got let go from this shitshow, getting a job right now..

"Yeah, nobody is left, but we built such a resilient infrastructure he can unplug entire racks and it'll keep working.. for a while.."

This is his approach to the flight tracking thing.. he can't stop them, but he can make it so expensive the guy can't do it anymore.

The problem is one of speed. We had a 110A circuit ground fault for ~2ms before the circuit breaker snapped open and in that amount of time it was able to complete chew a hole in a copper pipe large enough to stick your pinky in.

The comments on that site are about as brain dead as that rivian..

It sure sounds like the charger dead faulted and gave the truck the Shazam phone charge treatment.

One's on a slope, the others in a gulch.

One's powers wasted and the others a waste.

Is gonna splice your own cables..

Looks up my address... I knew my taco bell habit was hurting the environment!!

Russia hasn't ever demonstrated that it gives a particular fuck about Russians.

If putin could use Crimea in a way to Ukraine, ever at a high civilian cost, he'd do it in a nanosecond.

That is true. Honestly, I have expect Russia to bomb Crimea and blame Ukraine.

Or just let Crimea sit cut off. Make it a liability for Russia. Let the Russian navy engage in a resupply mission while getting harassed.

Honestly, probably the shrinking of Russia.

I can see lots of border regions saying, "why do we want to be tied to this clown and becoming breakaways.

Russia's military completely decimated unable to stop them.

Moreover those regions asking for and getting military aid from us.

By refining I meant to extracting the dust particles from the soil around chernobyl.

Just picking up 2 tons of dirt around chernobyl wouldn't do much.

Unfueling a reactor and then using explosives to turn it into mist would be bad.

It does beg the question. If he gave the command to use nukes, would his order actually be followed?

I wonder if this dirty bomb bullshit is to give his subordinates something to be stirred up about.

You'd have to refine that. Those hapless fools dug into ground that was laden with radioactive particles.

Unfortunately, Russia has plenty of spent fuel and other radioactive crap they can cram into a bomb housing.

Remember, this isn't about Russia gaining territory.

Ukraine just wouldn't roll over and give up 30% of their land, so Russia is now going to show the world what happens to border countries that don't capitulate to their demands.

This is what happens when you've got an autocratic dictator in charge, there is no path to deescalation.

Putin is losing this war and as hard has he's tried to hide it, he can't. Few dictators survive failed wars, so he now needs to seriously amp up the situation.

He'll set off a dirty bomb, claim it was the Ukrainians and use that as an excuse to use tactical nukes on all their infrastructure.

We had to nuke their power plants, how else could we prevent them from setting off more bombs.

Seriously. At least with starlink they're low enough orbit that if we did nothing they'd all be down in 5 years.

Great, they've launched 4 satellites.. only 597 more to go.. let's see.. at 4 per launch.. only a 150 launches to go.. What does a Soyuz cost per launch?

They're also talking about this whole thing costing billions of rubles, per year for a couple of years..

I suspect they'll get enough satellites launched to get themselves some secure communications and high(er) speed data and then suddenly all mention of this will be scrubbed from the official websites.

I've been told the ISS is loud. Do you have to deal with vibration issues as well taking a 30s explosure?
