WiseThat

This is the thing I'll never understand about the modern streaming industry's focus on watchtime and second-screen content.

Like, guys, spending your budget on a thing I am actively NOT engaged with as a consumer is not going to help your brand. Y'all got big on prestige TV, and the kind of shows where I go "Oh this looks really good, gonna make sure it's on my watchlist". That way I'm never gonna unsub as long as I have a watchlist, the actual hours spent on platform doesn't matter.

Exactly. It's not "Leftist", it's just NOT fully of Nazis, and that's how far our standards have slipped.

We definitely should change emissions, yes, but I think a good "foot in the door" tactic would be to lobby your local city to make street parking require a permit that is priced based on the length of your car. It makes ZERO sense that minis and F350s pay the same for parking.

And/or make car registration costs scale reflect the true damage of additional vehicle weight.

The guys from I Did a Thing has a second channel that covers politics and they did a GREAT video on this wackjob, and the whole industry of these rich vampires paying the young homeless people in the USA to literally drain them of their blood: The Dark World of Young Blood Transfusions

Pretty much every bit of him looking better is just his skin looking healthier because he's taking a fuckton of estrogen. Everything else is just nonsense.

I think the question is more about, "Why is it that a jet pushing a wing horizontally such that the wing deflects air downwards is so much more efficient than cutting out the middleman and simply having the jet push downwards.", because it seems at first like the wing is magically creating energy out of nowhere.

The answer might be easier to understand in terms of leverage. A wing acts kindof like a lever, it converts a small amount of force applied at one point & direction (drag), into a larger amount of force in a different point&direction (lift).

The wing, because it is wide, is able to gently redirect a LOT of air downwards at a low speed. In this way, a small amount of fast air (high energy, low momentum) is able to cause a large amount of slow air (slightly lower energy, much higher momentum) to move.

See, that's the thing. The 10 factors in the ranking include 1) Entrepreneurship, 2) "Open for Business", 3) "Movers", 4) Power, and 5) "Agility", or a place that is 'efficient in its actions, adopt and accept modern solutions'

So, like, half the factors are "how badly do you screw the environment and average non-capital-class citizen"

And in case you think I might be wrong about what they mean by "Movers", the top 5 are the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, and India.

Of COURSE our country, which is composed a bunch of oil, gas, and mining corps in a trenchcoat shaking hands with a couple of oligipolistic banks and telecoms will score well.

You seen the takes from Authright and AnCaps lately? Trying to get rid of single-party divorces, pro child-marriage, pro 'enforced monogamy'.

They were told the risks of pinning their entire political strategy and identity on one septuagenarian gameshow host, and did it anyway

Yes, there is absolutely a sampling bias here

For a basement with a 5-inch slab and exterior walls are 8 inches, 8ft high and also concrete... Then 45 cubic meters is about what you'd need.

Of course, your basement walls are about as electrically grounded as it gets, so I doubt you'd be able to store power in them. One leak and you're discharging all that power into the groundwater.

Sure... But it's a DIFFERENT TEST, on a different population of people, with the goal of measuring military-specific factors.
