  • Affordable Doctors in the USA

    Jump

  • I've been to the official museum in the old bottling plant in Waco, and no, there never was a real doctor.

  • Fifth Circuit: Salesforce Can’t Use Section 230 To Get Out Of Sex Trafficking Case, Because It Only Provided CRM Software, Not Content Moderation

    Jump

  • Backpage moderated some posts, sure. But what was the role of Salesforce here besides supplying a software package?

  • Let's Cook!

    Jump

  • Patent infringement, yes. But there's also a gazillion quality control rules and forms and FDA submissions to manufacture drugs licitly. We know Walter White can control the quality, but does he have the patience to file the paperwork?

  • Government funding plan collapses as Trump makes new demands days before shutdown

    Jump

  • I agree. If the republican party controls the white house and both chambers of Congress, they don't need to negotiate with democrats to pass a budget. So there's absolutely no reason to have a government shutdown. Unless you like stiffing government employees, I guess.

  • Out OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pledges $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund

    Jump

  • Trying to stay out of the camps.

  • xkcd #3024: METAR

    Jump

  • The altimeter setting should be referenced to sea level as well. Which means it doesn't agree with the SLP.

  • The Real Criminals

  • Some folks will rob you with a six gun, and some will rob you with a fountain pen.

  • And for reference, the earth escape velocity from the surface is 11.2 km/s or 25,000 mph, not 7,000 mph.

    To escape the solar system from the earth surface, the minimum speed is 16.6 km/s, or 37,100 mph. But this assumes that you launch in the correct direction to take the most advantage of the Earth's 30 km/s. If you launch in the most disadvantageous direction, you can add another 60 km/s to escape.

  • Donald Trump’s New Admin Weighs ‘How Much Should We Invade Mexico?’

    Jump

  • Well, except for all the other times we invaded countries in Latin America.

    And except for that time we invaded Mexico all the way down to Mexico City.

  • Trump’s defense pick Pete Hegseth threatens ‘educational insurgency’ in schools

    Jump

  • The guy in line to lead the most powerful military the world has ever seen wants to start an "insurgency." I'm sorry, that's just one piece of vocabulary you're not entitled to.

  • And that's why you should only drink grain alcohol and pure, natural rain water. To preserve the essence of your precious bodily fluids.

  • Are you sure you want to almost destroy the ship? Yes/No

    Jump

  • Or the number of times someone can ditch all of the ship's tracking systems, on a military vessel, just by leaving their badge somewhere.

  • It's because we don't have a style of music called "Jizz."

  • One of my favorite fun facts: "Balance of Terror" was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.

    The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.

  • My understanding is that the Senate Rules committee is lower profile than House Rules because nearly every procedural question in the Senate is settled by unanimous consent.

    In the House, the Rules committee decides the floor debate time limits and which amendments are in order on every major legislation. (They do this by passing custom rules for each individual bill).

    It's possible things have changed, or they're planning some kind of major shift in the normal procedure.

  • Texas board advances plan to allow Bible material in elementary school lessons

    Jump

  • Gotta keep up with OK.

  • Something's not adding up

    Jump

  • It's actually because the thing that makes you make those faces is the acceleration, not the speed.

    All three reference frames shown are accelerated, non inertial frames. But the first two have "fictitious" centrifugal accelerations somewhere around 0.5-2.5 g. The third frame has a detectable centrifugal acceleration, but it's like 0.003 g or something, and can be lumped in with gravity for many types of problems.

  • 'National divorce': Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens Trump dissenters with secession

    Jump

  • <General Sherman claws his way out of the grave.>

  • Why on Earth do we have 29.97fps?

    Jump

  • There is a Stand Up Maths video about exactly this, and it is awesome.

  • Donald Trump quips he can't run in 2028 unless Republicans 'do something'

    Jump

  • Also within this very hypothetical scenario, the act of seeking a third term is after the hypothetical amendment, so there is no ex post facto in any case.
