It’s not big enough to significantly affect the moon, so tidal activity would be normal. It would be a sight to behold though, especially through binoculars.

It’s not ideal. Then you’d have many still-problematic asteroids going in completely new and unforeseen directions. You want to keep it intact but give it a little nudge, which we have demonstrated we can do from NASA’s DART mission.

Well, the way I see it, there’s a few possibilities, with different parties to blame.

Mechanical error would be the fault of Delta/Endeavor. This is a tested plane with many many flight hours. A mechanical issue could only be a maintenance error. But so far there have been no confirmed reports to suggest this.

Pilot error would be the fault of Endeavor’s training.

It could possibly be some freak gust of wind right at the worst moment. Second-to-second weather can be hard to deal with, especially at 40 km/h.

Or if ATC failed to adequately convey the conditions for the pilots to make an informed decision, that would be the fault of the GTA airport authority/Navcan.

TL;DR with the evidence we have so far, we’re looking at pilot error, or weather that was just wrong place wrong time.

The precise mechanism is beyond me, but suffice it to say that light is affected by gravity.

If you imagine throwing a ball in space in a straight line near a massive body (like a planet), the ball will curve and its new straight path will now be permanently deviated from its original straight line.

Now imagine instead of throwing a ball, you’re emitting rays of light in all directions near a black hole. Light you emit towards the black hole will be lost to it, but light you emitted at an angle to the black hole will swing around it, just like the ball. If you imagine all the light you emitted slightly to the right, left, up, and down doing this, you can imagine that an observer on the other side could see all that light, appearing as though you were slightly right, left, up, and down from the black hole at the same time. This is what creates the ring.

To half the users in this thread, normal people use computers as a means to an end.

“If you’re not prepared to get your hands dirty this OS is not for you” you’ve already lost me, this is unhinged behaviour. You have one life and you choose to spend it fixing your computer so it will do the same things except slightly differently.

But I know this is an unpopular opinion for Linux users.

And not just “a beach on the ocean”, but literally just the open ocean.

Sounds like the government needs to eminent domain them and then rent them for whatever price will fill them. Or if you’re cool, then you’d say it should be for free.

It should be noted that the people he shot took to social media to post “Death to Arabs”

It is literally reported in the media that Apple was doing this. These commenters take issue with ascribing the problem specifically to capitalism. They believe that, yes, capitalism causes enshittification. But they may also believe that it is not unique in this, or that even if it is unique in this, it is also unique in encouraging the innovation that brought about smartphones.

It’s silly, but it’s what they believe.

My school gave us swimming lessons but they were not very accommodating to me, I came out of them not knowing how to swim. When I lived with my brother, I taught myself to more or less be able to swim in his pool. It’s just very tiring.

As someone whose second language is French and has everything in French, set your computer to English. it’s so much easier to Google error messages when they’re in English.

The whole thing about flat earthers is that they come up with more and more elaborate explanations to fit each individual observation, when Occam’s razor says that the theory that explains them all should probably be the correct one.

Like, they’ll argue about refraction of light due to hot air being the cause for the disappearance of ships past the horizon, and then their explanation for how time zones work is something else entirely, and why we have seasons, and why planes take the routes they do, and all this other nonsense. They all need separate, complicated explanations, and they willingly accept them and vehemently deny the simplest theory that ties everything together.

The actual explanation for this behaviour is flat earthers are a friend group, doubly so for the people who pushed “globeheads” out of their life. So to change their view is to socially isolate themselves

Third option, stop antagonizing them at the behest of the Americans.

That would be regular Mercator, actually. Greenland is as big as Africa in regular old Mercator projections.

Edit: although maybe with a slight uniform vertical squish

Existing nuclear energy, too.

Hi.

I never eat fast food.

I don’t have a car.

I don’t even have a credit card.

I spend $150/mo to feed two people.

Go fuck yourself.

The need for anti fascism didn’t stop with the arrests of January 6th

Good ol’ Germany getting back to its roots

The thing about it is aluminum cans leach into their contents, especially if left open. Aluminum isn’t particularly harmful in that amount but it’s something you can taste, particularly with acidic contents. Not sure how much water suffers from this, but if it comes through in things with flavour, I’m sure it would come through in water, which is supposed to be flavourless, even if it’s not usually very acidic.
