Tech Trad

@chesterbelloc3 Also it’s still required to do some equivalent penance. But isn’t it easier to just do the traditional abstinence?

Not only do most Trads observe meatless Fridays during the year, Inhave known many who go to the Novus Ordo who do likewise, even though it isn't required.

@AssBread3 @OwenBenjamin Yes, but here we're talking about maneuvering in the atmosphere.

@yipopov @OwenBenjamin i'm not makin it up lol, look up a diagram of the Orion re-entry capsule. it has 12 RCS thrusters, 6 for pitch and 6 for roll. obviously it's designed to have aerodynamic stability also, but without RCS, maneuvering in a vacuum is impossible.

So an object shaped like this hits earths atmosphere going 25,000 mph and slows down over hundreds of miles. Quick question. How do they know it won’t start spinning like a bullet or tumbling like a football? Those are the options. That’s why there’s rifling on guns so it spins creating a straighter shot. I only want answers from people who truly believe their answer is accurate. No sarcasm from people making fun of it. There’s been a sarcasm/real singularity recently and I actually can’t tell the difference. Go! Debunk me! Btw minimal spin or tumble would turn the inside of the capsule into a blood blender

@FalconryFinance The blue dude is smart and has good situational awareness.

this guy has a future at the Amazon warehouse on the logistics floor

@rjheathfield @OwenBenjamin I don’t, I just think it makes sense to use the shape and weight distribution of the capsule to stabilize and control it. The air flow is free, thruster fuel is not.

@yipopov @OwenBenjamin Yes, but you seem to think that "it just seems dumb to use in the atmosphere instead of an aerodynamic solution", so no doubt you have a less 'dumb' way to do it, yes?

@c4darkness @eurofounder @kajakallas Who emigrated to the United States. And you couldn’t use the GNU userland with it, nor the BSD one.

@eurofounder @kajakallas it is linux dont you know a great man from finland made it

Under international law, transit through waterways like the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and free of charge. This is what leaders made clear in their call on reopening the Strait today. Any pay-for-passage scheme will set a dangerous precedent for global maritime routes. Iran has to abandon any plan to levy transit fees. Europe will play its part in restoring the free flow of energy and trade, once a ceasefire takes hold. The EU’s Aspides naval mission is already operating in the Red Sea and can be quickly strengthened to protect shipping across the region. This could be the fastest way to provide support.

@eurofounder @kajakallas Would Minix count, or are there too many American entanglements? If so I suspect government issue laptops would all have to run Oberon instead.

@kajakallas Why are you using Windows? Is there no European operating system? Embarrassing honestly

@rjheathfield @OwenBenjamin The aerodynamic solution is what NASA has claimed to be using since Mercury.

@yipopov @OwenBenjamin You're just the sort of chap NASA is looking for. They're always after ways to improve.

@illativefaith Invalid hosts, how is that not grounds for excommunication?

I’ve repeatedly had massive stoushes when arriving at a new parish and replacing “gluten-free” breads (invalid matter) with “low-gluten” hosts. “Gluten-free” in Australia means no gluten; in the rest of the world “gluten-free” means less than 20 parts per million. My greatest peace-keeping solution: buy imported Eucharistic breads from Poland which contain 6 ppm. They are labeled “Gluten-free” because they meet EU standards. Everybody’s happy.

@escapefrommelos They don’t avoid it, they normalize it. A 4 on the Bristol scale is probably considered severe constipation there.

genuinely how did people eat like this every day before ubiquitous clean running water and soap… how did they wash hands to avoid food poisoning, how did they get the inevitable grease stains out of clothing

Question. If all smart aerodynamicists know that it’s impossible to make a frustum shaped capsule, why would NASA choose that particular shape for its fake space capsule instead of the smooth sphere of the Vostok and Voskhod capsules? Why have all these extra steps in the story when there already exists a shape that even non-aerodynamicists will intuitively understand?

@MagneticNorse Imagine landing there only to discover that you are above your hover ceiling due to density altitude.

This is the entire reason men learn to fly helicopters

@Rightanglenews I suspect that even infants are far more intellectually capable than they are able to express with language. The boy probably already knows intuitively what the concept of a reprobate is, having had two of them foisted upon him.

Two gay men in Nashville are sparking nationwide outrage after recording a video of themselves mocking the baby they had via surrogacy as it cries for its mother for content. Man: “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” Baby: “Mama” Man: “No, there is no mama.” Baby: cries

@dhh @levelsio At the same time as recreational laughing gas bottles are strewn all over the place with no intervention.

@levelsio It's really bad in Denmark too. The degrowth/net-zero nonsense has sunk into the unconsciousness to a degree where they don't even notice or question the insanity. Like laughing gas being discouraged for births because of CO2 impact??? dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

When I meet most Europeans these days I wanna shake them and shout WAKE UPPPPPPP They're all captivated by the mind virus My Dutch friend said he's doing great because he has no kids so he's not a "big burden on society" eco wise My French friend said she avoids flying at all cost to save the environment WAKE UP!!!!!

@mordownik4u Are you absolutely sure that this is a woman?

21-letnia Polka naprawiła błąd w Linuksie starszy od niej samej! Kamila Szewczyk, studiująca w Niemczech, podczas zwykłej pracy nad materiałami akademickimi odkryła i naprawiła bug w menedżerze okien Enlightenment E16, który istniał od 1997 roku. Problem? Przy zbyt długich nazwach plików (np. PDF) pulpit się zawieszał w nieskończonej pętli. Kamila dodała limit iteracji + ochronę przed dzieleniem przez zero i błędnymi obliczeniami.

@AssBread3 @OwenBenjamin I find that explanation much less credible than the official one of passive aerodynamic stability, which fits more with how we build every single other flying vehicle.

@OwenBenjamin re-entry capsules have what's called RCS thrusters, or reaction control system. it's small angled jets that are used to orient the vehicle and stabilize it.

@rjheathfield @OwenBenjamin I know what a thruster is, it just seems dumb to use in the atmosphere instead of an aerodynamic solution.

@yipopov @OwenBenjamin Do you know what a thruster is?

@temporaryphs @mikecarruthers9 @OwenBenjamin @RMetzEsq The official explanation sounds a lot more credible than firing thrusters the entire way down.

@mikecarruthers9 @OwenBenjamin @RMetzEsq At the top. They dont need to be very big as its not trying to decelerate. This wouldnt be exit velocity size boosters.

@OwenBenjamin I’m not married to the idea of space flight being a real thing that happens, but this kind of “out of a universe of possibilities only the one or two scenarios that I thought of that just so happens to support my hypothesis are possible” question begging is quite tiresome.

@mebeim @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 It’s fine to argue that Anubis is a bad idea, but when you’re doing exactly what Anubis asks you to do, are you really bypassing it?

@yipopov @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 lock.cmpxchg8b.com/anubis.html

And we just accept that the official Linux Kernel website makes you sit and stare at some kind of anime cat girl nurse thing (IDK, I don't watch that stuff) before letting you see a kernel source file.
