1) 4-6” of armor doesn’t protect you from a torpedo going off below you and breaking your keel.

The cliche DEEP MEANING question to ask someone is “what historical person would you go back in time to meet”, but I contend that the most insightful question to ask is “which historical person would you bring forward in time to show them the modern world”.

It’s almost like marketing-driven reader outreach initiatives are separate from the editorial department.

It does seem silly to talk about gen6 when gen5 is barely in the air, but this sounds like people trying to figure out the future with technologies still decades away. Smoke and mirrors sounds reasonable.

This seems to be a universal issue whenever replay is introduced. Fencing got it a few years ago, and I’ve heard many high-level refs warn about how slow-motion can make something look intentional when it really happens to quickly to be so.

Let’s take a moment and pray for that defender.

Doesn’t seem like the All Black’s haka, I presume it’s a funeral one?

The letter buttons are positioned awkwardly for games designed to use them heavily. I stick with my xbox controller for those games.

Smaller rear wings have been suggested as a large fraction of the dirty air comes from them.

Spoiler alert for Fallout 4: Patriots win the SB this year, Goodell has to Hammer the whole country to preserve the Shield.

You can put something in a polar orbit at geosynchronous altitude, but the end result is different. At an equatorial orbit the satellite stays over the same point on Earth all the time. A polar orbit would return to the same position on Earth at the same time each orbit, but moves across the surface; so if you were…

To image very high latitudes you have to be in a highly inclined orbit, but the problem is that when you’re doing that, you’re only over those high latitudes for a short amount of time. With a HEO you have the same issue, but you mitigate it in two ways.

tldr, it’s a Bethesda game? You’ll love it if you love their thing, and hate it if you don’t?

A strike craft isn’t just carrying one JDAM, though. All of the money spent on a missile goes into one missile, but all of the money put into an airplane goes into four or five or whatever bombs per mission; and you’re still spending some of that overhead anyway for planes even if you’re not sending them out with…

Time to start a pool: what car could CarMax have bought Doug instead of letting him buy a warranty. I’m betting a new FiST.

This case is obvious so it’s not a great example, but the bad precedent is that once you open the can that results can be changed after post-game review, you’ll have people protesting games over more borderline, pure judgement calls. No sports league in the world at any level would revert the results of an officially…

It’s like a Rocket League game

Something for stats nerds: are shootout PK attempts any more or less successful than normal PKs?

The car is but a tool for the Hoon
