Coping? What's that?

Which is where hybrids have a huge advantage, getting the best of both worlds

Because any "official act" by the president is now legal, presidents are now kings, and the only treasonous thing is to not support anything and everything the president says or does

I've used OCLP, and I didn't even realize they largely switched to Discord. That explains why finding some info was such a PITA when I was playing around with it.

I will never understand why people choose to use Discord as a forum replacement. It's just such an awful platform for that.

5 meters is definitely way too short for the chair swing ride. Look at the people in the seats. It's definitely at least 10 meters.

Assuming 10 meters and 100 km/h, that gives about 7.9 g. That's in the range of what fighter pilots might experience and well beyond where most people black out, so that's still definitely too high.

Looking it up online, this is a pretty classic physics problem and the numbers you might see around it are closer to a radius of 12 meters and a speed of 13 to 17 m/s. Taking that as 15 m/s (54 km/h), that works out to about 1.9 g, which I can subjectively say feels much closer to the real value if you ever ride on one of these.

So, the second one is about 1.9 g

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. That's what I get for lazily reading the headline, lol

So given the absurd cost of missiles and military equipment in general, that can't be more than what, a few missiles?

I recently had a complaint with a website:

"Users are having trouble scrolling!"

My response:

"Are they using the scroll wheel/directly scrolling with the touchpad, or using the scroll bar?"

They were, of course, using the scroll bar. I am now somehow responsible for design choices made at the level of the browser, because browsers have decided that the scroll bar should be nigh impossible to use. Yippee.

She's not even holding the flute right. I'm not sure the Lord will appreciate her fingerings

"No Patrick, the AfD is no alternative" (AfD = "Alternative für Deutschland", or "Alternative for Germany")

Actually, it's spelled curb in the US
