Feel old yet? This is him now

I would bring a sandwich for Gavrilo Princip.

Getting XCom flashbacks. I’d set up a breach team on the door, and send the rest of the squad round and up that drainpipe so they can drop down from the roof. But best go around the back of the cars so as not to activate through the window.

Yeah but in the process it’ll scour the surface off the earth so it’s not all bad news

Portuguese is the same but has no inverted question mark, and sometimes it’s mighty annoying,

¿What if you just used them anyway?
¡Problem solved!

Captain EO was the shizz

Brazil & 1984 are thematically closer than probably any other pair on the chart, yet they’re shown to not intersect. I question the methodology.

They don’t even need that. They just need it to be credible to advertisers. YouTube don’t really give a shit if anyone actually watches the ads, they just need the advertisers to believe they do.

Hello!

Your link is to https://pixel.mamutut.space/p/wowwoweowza/621370665154999687 which is not actually the picture, but a web page that includes the picture (plus some other elements). Some web pages include metadata that lets services like Lemmy pull out the relevant image, but that isn’t present or isn’t working correctly here, so we don’t see the picture.

If you click the picture at your link, it takes you to the picture itself at https://pixel.mamutut.space/storage/m/_v2/621369676392719750/f1538e3aa-7b3151/3hhaJedYNkCy/Pu8IxA7M4OKDSRYvr01WzyNJEwv0IkEVL96Bjziu.jpg . If you replace the URL in your post with this one, it should work as you expect.

Alien is a stupid name for an alien when you stop to think about it. Just like with the creature in Frankenstein, people are going to grab at any alternate name presented, cos it’s just too awkward to talk about otherwise.

Enough with that! You can’t question the trolley situation, it’s been like this for generations. Get on board. We have flags!

Oh no! I knew this would be controversial.

Good point. It has zero contact force at the apex, so 14m is an upper bound on possible cat-loops.

The cat is moving in a circle, so it has a centripetal acceleration and a centripetal force. At the apex of the loop, that force is the sum of gravity, and resistance from the track. The track force is greater than or equal to zero, so acceleration due to gravity is less than or equal to the total centripetal acceleration.

g ≤ v²/r
So,
r ≤ v²/g

Taking top speed of a cat as 8.278m/s (from Wolfram Alpha), and g on earth as 9.81m/s², this gives us r ≤ 6.99m. So long as the cat can maintain its top speed all around the loop, it can successfully do a loop of up to 14 meters diameter. This is a lot bigger than I expected, to the extent that I suspect some flaw in my reasoning.

Thanks. This was useful context.

Blåhaj are the best. If you’ve got a problem with Blåhaj you’ve got a problem with me.

Makes most sense that blockade runner is a description of the role it’s being used for, same way you can describe any car as a taxi if that’s how you’re using it.

She’s called Sonia, and your last name is The Hedgehog.
