305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is…a big difference.

You know what also wasn’t a word?

Literally every word that is now a word.

A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren’t great. At 20ft away you’ll just get really wet. Their numbers aren’t wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.

It did mention that several times the town did form posses to go and cull the bears, but didn’t do enough because you also had people just feeding the shit out of them.

Correct, it was an F-35B flown by a USMC pilot out of MCAS beaufort.

I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.

Crazy to look at that CO2 per capita chart and see that we’re lower now than any time since the 40s at least.

About 25% down from 2008.

In the US this is called constructive dismissal. It’s a tactic used by employers to get away with firing someone but not getting hit by unemployment insurance payments.

The good news for workers is, it still counts as being fired and you still qualify for unemployment if you “quit” under these conditions.

As opposed to the other bullets that are also heavy metals.

Many people in the US are paid every two weeks, which means some months you’re paid more than others.

Yearly has become standard as is hourly rate, because one is useful for taxes and the other is often directly negotiated.

While there is overlap it definitely isn’t 1:1 though. There are tons of ff non-linux users and tons of Linux non-ff users.

This isn’t to detract from what you said, just add to it.

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn’t specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.

FAA also doesn’t want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.

Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I’m not sure, but that’s part of the research.

They’re promising a perceived 75 dB level, equivalent to the volume of a dishwasher. Sonic booms are normally about 110 dB or about a jackhammer or a rock concert

And it’s not like you’d hear it all the time, just once in a while and only if you’re in the flight path.

What a pro-worker stance you have considering the instance you’re on.

FYI, emotional support animals aren’t protected on flights any more than other animals on flights, meaning they have to stay in a crate/kennel.

Only service animals can be outside of the carrier and there’s extra paperwork associated with that.

Absolutely. It’s why I love his videos. He sometimes has bad takes, but they aren’t bad in a “I’m a shitty person” kind of takes and any time a mistake (not an opinion but harmful factual error) gets pointed out he responds pretty well.

He’s honestly just jayz2cents with better marketing.

Except Jay is usually pretty honest and upfront about how little he knows, which now makes him miles better than Linus “I definitely benchmark better than tech jesus” sebastian.

Ukrainian soldiers in 2014 vs 2022.

The U.S. and allies, despite what a lot of people say (usually something like “why haven’t they helped since the war actually started in 2014”) helped transform the Ukranian military into the capable fighting force it is today, and the work started years ago.
