Why are so many doctors and nurses armed? Or is it the patients?

OR, Ukraine could go all Kelly’s Heroes on them. “You know what’s behind you? All of RUSSIA. And all you have to do to get an equal share is turn that tank around…”

the carmaker keeps its costs low partly by owning the entire supply chain of its EV batteries, significant since a battery accounts for roughly 40% of an electric vehicle’s price.

And this impossible for other carmakers because… ?

And here poor Gregor came to the party with a window. Windows are so last month! Silly Gregor!

Have these guys made any demands? I’d love to know what they think they’re going to accomplish. Or are they just being pirates for the fun of it?

I really don’t want the Russians to win in Ukraine, but if they were to outfit all their troops with windows instead of bullets… just sayin’.

I’m sure responding to Kim in the appropriate manner could, conceivably, trigger a seismic event in the region which might harm our allies, eg Japan. Apologies in advance.

Wow! At the speed that thing was going, Washington DC families would only have time to pack their essentials, fuel up the car, grab a quick lunch at Denny’s, go back and make sure they locked their front door, then head for the hills.

Scary.

Death Row = Chef Boyardee

Could this be some kind of Mouse That Roared scenario?

OR, 1 points towards parliament needing to recert their CPR cards…

You know what would really cement his election? A USO-style tour of the front lines! The drones troops love that!

Cloth, probably not. But look into homemade paper - you might be able to turn vacuum lint into something like construction paper, but ew.

Edit: Found this - instructions on turning dryer lint into paper

Better than using a movie to lure in the bad guys. Hear me, Inglorious Basterds?

Geez people, It’s not like Mentats grow on trees.

Excellent! Thank you!

I hope someone can ELI5. I mean, we’re told that sunlight/etc we see is 8 minutes old - it took 8 minutes to get from the sun to the earth. The radiation, light, etc all travel at the speed of light, neither slower nor faster.

If we can see anything on the sun, it happened 8 minutes ago. It’s not like we’re looking out over a Kansas field and see a tornado coming.

Further, there’s this from a quick Google (while attempting to answer this question myself), from Oct 13 2023:

“How much warning do we have for solar storms? So it should come as no surprise that a team at NASA has been busily applying AI models to solar storm data to develop an early warning system that they think could give the planet about 30 minutes’ notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a particular area.”

So how are we getting a notice one or two days in advance here? Is the sun currently ejecting matter into space, intersecting the place in our orbit we’ll occupy tomorrow (or the next day)? Or is this like predicting a volcanic eruption, basing it on other observable behavior?

Great source! Phrased differently - can’t build a cistern without a permit - but they are certainly painted as right a-holes about it. Thanks for the source!

Just hope it wasn’t bought by that Jurassic Park guy. Napoleon Island has already been done.

Source?
