The suffering is the point. It’s got nothing to do with morals or human rights or the death penalty or abortion or “Christian values”. It’s all about making “those people” suffer.

GNU’s Not Unix

Simple to produce, and electric motors don’t have the same inefficiencies as a huge diesel engine does

That’s not trombone, that sheet music is treble clef, trombones are bass clef.

Lol. That was 2007. I feel so old.

My first email was Firstname_Lastname@aol.com. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com.

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it’ll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are Firs.T.Nam.E.L.Astnam.E@gmail.com or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

“Nobody ain’t doin’ nothing’ wrong”.

I’ve always heard it more as “ain’t nobody doin’ nothing wrong”

…“Don’t not go there” over “Do go there”…

So many tour guides for cities say things like “do not skip going to” or similar. It’s just a linguistic choice.

Mulva?

…the US knew about it but allowed it to happen…

I hear this, and in hindsight it makes sense to say, but put yourself back in the mindset of the late 90s. The US was a fucking giant. The world saw what happened after pearl harbor, I believe it was less of “allowing it to happen” and more of “we were so arrogant that we couldn’t believe anyone would be dumb enough to actually do it”.

Maybe, maybe not. Just depends TBH.

I mean you can probably back up the trailers fine, but all the “stuff” involved with hooking up and unhooking is completely omitted from ATS and ETS/ETS2.

Shifting gears is another thing, I can shift a 6 speed, but if you put me behind a real 18 speed with splitter and range gearboxes, I guarantee I’d be grinding the shit out of those gears, over-rev or lug the engine… Etc.

The popular truck “sims” are not sims, they are basically one step above arcade games. And I say this as someone who likes playing them. They are fun, but they are not sims.

Flight instructors don’t want you to know this one simple trick.

As an avid player of flight sims, probably not too well on a fully loaded plane like a 747 or whatever. They are heavy, react slowly, and the controls are electronic so you can’t “feel” any resistance from the plane. Also the jet turbines take a while to spool up and down so you have to be pretty deliberate with your inputs.

Now if it were something like a smaller GA airplane, as long as it has tricycle gear and you aren’t landing into a crosswind, I feel like it would be fairly successful, and even if you get 10 ft from the ground and stall, or miss the touchdown point by 1000ft or so, you are only going 45-50mph tops at that point so the chances of you surviving are pretty good.

Compare that to a 747 where you’d be going much faster and the margin between landing and stalling is pretty thin, there’s a good chance you’d overshoot the landing point, come down hard, then crash into something at the end of the runway.

Now if it’s a taildragger and you don’t have any real training, there’s a good chance you’ll tail loop and crash once you touch down. You’d probably survive, but it would be ugly.

Edit: that is assuming you don’t smash the brakes and prop strike first.

“flavor” lol

So 1/2x is universally interpreted as 1/(2x), and not (1/2)x, which would be x/2.

Sorry but both my phone calculator and TI-84 calculate 1/2X to be the same thing as X/2. It’s simply evaluating the equation left to right since multiplication and division have equal priorities.

X = 5

Y = 1/2X => (1/2) * X => X/2

Y = 2.5

If you want to see Y = 0.1 you must explicitly add parentheses around the 2X.

Before this thread I have never heard of implicit operations having higher priority than explicit operations, which honestly sounds like 100% bogus anyway.

You are saying that an implied operation has higher priority than one which I am defining as part of the equation with an operator? Bogus. I don’t buy it. Seriously when was this decided?

I am no mathematics expert, but I have taken up to calc 2 and differential equations and never heard this “rule” before.

Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape ancestors.

But apes don’t have tails.

However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.

I’m guessing it went off Thomas the tank engine.

Here are some results from my reddit username

Sick rabbit yo!

I know a guy who’s initials are MRS, which is funny.
