Ships need gas inside to keep the dihydrogen monoxide at safe levels

Yeah I did! I’m hoping my library get the book. Hell I might buy it, read it and donate it after

If a nuclear missile is launched at the United States the President has just 6 minutes to come to terms with that and decide to launch a counter attack or not.

If that counter attack is headed to North Korea, any land based missiles will head over the arctic circle, over Russian airspace where similar shoot/no shoot decisions will have to be made in a similar timeframe.

Not really a meme but cool

OpenStreetMap and their editors are great and I use them a lot, but if you really want to have great flexibility with your map design QGIS is Open Source

Here’s a video on how to use it

You can use CalTopo’s print pdf to print that OSM data too

chootem inna hed nah boa!

I see it as every employee walmart has to hire and pay to solve this problem is a local and the money will be saved and spent locally, not automatically going to be another drop in some CEO’s bucket.

The best choice is to shop local in the first place but some places don’t have that luxury. And who knows if enough local money builds up people might open their own businesses

Yeah the post directly mentions the NOAA guys but the Air Force Reserve hurricane hunters are what came to mind my mistake

Orions are badass in their own right

C-130s really do it all (the linked vid is of a different hurricane but they’ve been doing similar flights with Milton)

the vest is just an elaborate backpack strap system

Arma 3’s lore has a lot of explaining to do

“We did our research!” (flat earthing intensifies)

I’m kidding I see your point

“tRuSt tHe sCieNCe!”

This is a joke of course…well kinda. When science is done well it can change the world. Who would be against that?

I don’t like the phrase because while the process of science seeks to be as factual and unbiased as possible those in the scientific community are still human. They are fallible, corruptible and can do things for their own personal gain or profit. So to me it could mistakenly misunderstood as “trust science blindly”

But “Trust the science that is validated by multiple reputable sources” just doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely

I got some of my trama from the TV cart! I watched 9/11 on that thing

Like what kind? Believing in higher powers doesn’t have to mean that you don’t belive in evolution/natural adaptation taking place over time.

If it was “God made everything in a few earth days and nothing changed” then yeah I feel you

I have traveled a decent amount. For new places using gps get around works but what’s key for me is building a mental map, especially when walking around on foot.

I’m going to rant a bit bear with me. Have you ever read a book that described a room (“The pub was cozy and small. A well cleaned bar gleamed along the wall to the side and the restroom door was across from it on the other”) only to give direction way later that throws off your mental image (“he took a sharp left and walked to the restroom”)? If it doesn’t match how things looked in your head it can be disorienting to the reader. I hate that feeling and the same thing can happen during navigation.

I make an effort to check maps of a city to get a lay of the land even though I know I have gps to help. I never fully memorise stuff but when I see any landmarks or streets they have some context and I know where it should go on the mental map. Sometimes I might be temporarily unsure of my exact location but I don’t get hopelessly lost.

NBC keeps trying to take down the footage from youtube but it’s out there

What’s the hold up? I’ve heard about the trip extension but not why
