The 60s were hard on you, weren’t they?

I can’t believe I looked this up, but there you go. Low earth orbit is usually at least 300km to avoid atmospheric drag, but you could probably go a bit lower for just the one time around. A geosynchronous orbit is nearly 36,oookm [1], which would be needed for go up, “stay in one spot for 24 hours and just fall back…

Torch: Home made fixes are not a bright idea.

Unless I’m misreading, I like how what looks like an editors note “needs period for consistency” made it into your hemming bible.

The 8 inches it was raised *was* the result of adding more to the grade on either side

If she doesn’t secure it then it will be stolen by VILE.

Come on Carmen Sandiego - that cross belongs in a museum!

Why couldn’t she be the other type of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?

Maybe you’re not reading the stats exactly right. I’m not a statistician so maybe I’m not either, but here we go.

Hey, what’s in the box? None of your beeswax.

Am I the only one who hears the Sonic ring sound effect every time the Model3 gobbles one of those traffic lights?

OK, so sustainable fuel doesn’t deliver the same energy as fossil fuels or Jet A, so let’s start with that. So it either takes much newer powerplant technology or is going to require much MORE fuel quantitatively to get to altitude and to supersonic flight regimes. More fuel means more weight and size. SSTs have never…

“NFTs were always about speculation”

Surely a distant second to “money laundering.”

“PK/SK only secures transactions. It doesn’t ensure that the data sent in the transaction hasn’t been changed after it’s reached its destination.”

Some money got laundered.  

What if we built some kind of guide system for these autonomous trucks right into the road, so that the truck didn’t have to steer itself the whole time and can instead just follow a track, since there will be tons of trucks driving the exact same route? Then what if instead of just one tractor pulling one trailer, we…

Little bit of The Witness in there, too. Nice.

The cake better be a fucking lie.

1/2 scale would make it 53 c.i.d.  You have to cube the scale, so it’s 1/8 the displacement.
