They were somewhere over Las Vegas when James made his suggestion that they were in batshitcrazy country.

I do it all the time to pull pictures off my camera to my phone. I can picture other photographers doing the same.

It might be scripted but the pain is real for those people.

I agree. I can understand interrupting the show for somethings. Earthquake early warning, fine. A celebrity going to rehab, not ok.

will it reduce the air pressure difference on the ground? i was in a building and it moved. i felt it. sound is only one problem.

Overpressure
Sonic booms are measured in pounds per square foot
of overpressure. This is the amount of the increase
over the normal atmospheric pressure which surrounds
us (2,116 psf/14.7 psi).
At one pound overpressure, no damage to structures
would be expected.
Overpressures of 1 to 2 pounds are produced by
supersonic aircraft flying at normal operating altitudes. Some public reaction could be expected between 1.5 and 2 pounds.
Rare minor damage may occur with 2 to 5 pounds
overpressure.
As overpressure increases, the likelihood of structural
damage and stronger public reaction also increases.
Tests, however, have shown that structures in good
condition have been undamaged by overpressures of
up to 11 pounds.
Sonic booms produced by aircraft flying supersonic at
altitudes of less than 100 feet, creating between 20 and
144 pounds overpressure, have been experienced by
humans without injury.
Damage to eardrums can be expected when overpressures reach 720 pounds. Overpressures of 2160
pounds would have to be generated to produce lung
damage.

yes tech filters down. however this is unneeded imho. we need cleaner transport not faster.

yeah i experienced a sonic boom once, obama came to seattle and a small private plane accidentally entered the restricted airspace, that was one too many. even if its lessend its not gonna be pleasant to be under.

The reason it wasn't in Oppenheimer is because it was about the man, not building a bomb. If someone were to make a movie about building a bomb, yeah, this would be great to add. It's the same reason they didn't focus on the victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

can we stop measuring phones at there thinnest and start at their thickest? im tired of camera bumps. i can deal with the extra width, i have a folding phone in a case already. make it thicker so we can have more battery, or add some features back like a 3.5mm headphone jack.
