The lightspeed limit is much better understood than the “age limit”. Lots of room for research.

I do find it #sad that many people don’t understand that yelling at a random American for a matter of politics is rather rude.

It’s nerd nirvana.

Some lavs are bigger than others. It may well be that the one you remember was that large. Some planes have handicap accessible lavs, for example, or larger ones in biz/first classes.

Well put.

You have to feel for Universal. Disney owns Marvel, Warner Bros. owns DC, and both were getting a lot of attention for using those properties to create a giant shared universe.

In the show it has always been “sestra”. However, in Russian sestry is the plural of sestra so it makes sense in the article’s context.

One of the salient design features of tanks is low ground pressure. Because off-road and stuff. You won’t do much good in that bog if your treads just sink.

While they are very busy, as I understand it ISS crews are not on a super strict, almost minute by minute schedule like the Apollo astronauts.

GSLV-MKIII’s successful launch bodes well for Indian aerospace, which has traditionally relied on foreign countries to send its heftier payloads into orbit. A rocket that can carry several hundred elephants’ worth of weight means it’ll be able to ferry up heavy communications satellites at a lower cost.

the shittiest Chrysler PT Cruiser I have ever seen for $300

Mildly disappointed indeed. My “moving to America” from Europe experience from the car-watching perspective was pretty yawnworthy, with the exception of the occasional neat muscle car.
