You know what also wasn't a word?

Literally every word that is now a word.

Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn't have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren't great. At 20ft away you'll just get really wet. Their numbers aren't wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.

It did mention that several times the town did form posses to go and cull the bears, but didn't do enough because you also had people just feeding the shit out of them.

Correct, it was an F-35B flown by a USMC pilot out of MCAS beaufort.

As with most things in the US, California has similar laws to the gdpr (though admittedly not as powerful), so a lot of websites are starting to change a bit in the US because of california.

I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.

Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It's not just "keep nothing in inventory", there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

The problem is that leadership doesn't interpret it that way and just sees "minimizing inventory increases profit!"

F35A is now down to about $70 million/piece now, which further demonstrates the point of costs coming down with mass production I think.

It originally was more like $150 million.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn't specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.

FAA also doesn't want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.

Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I'm not sure, but that's part of the research.
