I got them from this Scott Manley video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz9vcSFBqw

He explains that the energy contained in a vessel is equal to the difference in pressure on the vessel wall, times the volume of the container.

They make you give back or pay for the stuff you stole, then pay up to $2,000 on top of that. And they can also send you to jail for up to 2 years.

It's not. When the sub collapsed, it did so with the energy of about 50kg of TNT.

This is why there will be no attempt to recover the bodies either. There just isn't anything left.

In an event like that, I would expect a complete inspection of the piers and any other elements that may have been affected. If the bridge is damaged enough for this kind of collapse to be possible, we should be either closing it or limiting it to light traffic until repairs can be made. Stuff like this shouldn't be left to to chance, and the fact that it seems to be that way so frequently in the US should be terrifying, and entirely unacceptable. We should be demanding better infrastructure with budgets for maintenance baked in.

"If you fail to schedule time for maintenance, the machine will schedule it for you" is a common refrain in manufacturing. I'm consistently amazed that we fail to inspect and maintain our roads and bridges.

So I googled around, and found this conviction: https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2008/February/08_crm_145.html

Justin Eric King, 27, of Chipley, Fla., has been sentenced to 41 months in prison followed by three years supervised release resulting from his conviction on charges of conspiracy to commit visa fraud, visa fraud and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling, Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division and United States Attorney Gregory R. Miller of the Northern District of Florida announced today. The defendant and his co-conspirators brought illegal aliens, mostly from Bulgaria and Romania, to work in the hotel industry in and around Destin, Fla. King was sentenced by Senior District Court Judge Lacey A. Collier of Pensacola, Fla.

This isn't usually what we think of as "human trafficking." It seems that the people he smuggled understood what they were doing, and not being forced or coerced it. If that were the case, additional charges of exploitation would have been filed.

And the biggest advantage of Reddit is that you have a variety of communities with a variety of rules. Some don't allow off topic posts or comments, some vet every single top level comment.

If these were all paid employees, they couldn't keep up with all the various rules of every sub, and they certainly coulent spend the time needed to see what rules need to be changed to shape the community to be something productive and valuable.

I don't always get his humour, but this one is pretty on point for me

I think that's really the idea of using AI art. They want to nail the lowest point in the Uncanny Valley, and some models do that.

Though using AI art in a commercial property makes me very uncomfortable with the broader context in mind.

I can see it being a great stylistic choice given the context. AI is able to nail the lowest point of the uncanny valley, and that makes a lot of sense for the shapeshifting stuff going on in this series.

But from a broader social choice, I think it's in bad taste. I personally think that AI art is copyright infringement on a massive scale. It rubs a lot of artists and people invested in art in the wrong way.

A good quality micrometer. Some will go for the classic Starett, others will get a modern digital Mitutoyo. Doesn't matter if it's a lathe or mill guy, CNC or manual. Any decent machinist will have their mic.

In the example before that, she reported bad behavior to the event organizer, who did basically nothing.

Some people don't want to have to risk their careers in order to enact change. When women speak up, they have a legitimate risk of being labeled as difficult or profiteering The author's hope is that men don't face the same level of criticism or skepticism when calling out other men, and that more voices will make women safer and this whole endeavor more productive.

The suffragettes were repeatedly arrested, they were branded terrorists. Later, their hunger strikes while in prison were broken with force feeding via stomach pump.

Suffragettes also bombed buildings and committed arson and vandalism, even if their means were effective, maybe we shouldn't advocate for their strategies.

A lot of companies have profit margins in the 10% range. A 15% drop in revenue could result in immediate loss of profitability.

For a company looking to make an IPO, this data does not look good at all. Especially because it was completely avoidable, they could have avoided this whole thing by just responding to developer concerns and just delaying the launch of fees for 6 months to allow devs to reduce calls and change their own monetization strategy. They could have avoided the worst of it by just not being total dickheads to literally everyone, getting caught in a lie and then doubling down on it and lying more.
