Older engines had them in their timing gears - they were in 6 cylinder Holdens, for example.
They give an amount of cushioning/vibration dampening that you can't get with steel gear sets.

Eight years ago every single booster was lost on every single launch, and now it's, "Oh no, one caught fire!
On the ground,
after an on-target landing,
after a successful payload delivery to orbit,
after four previous launches and successful recoveries of the same booster!
RELIABILITY CONCERNS!"
Looks like it might make landfall a bit south of the sunshine coast, which means that Brisbane will cop the strongest winds.
Seeing that a) modern houses in non-cyclone areas are typically made out of cardboard and sticky tape and b) Brisbane hasn't seen a decent cyclone since the '70s, this could be an interesting week.
I don't expect the power to stay on after about Thursday morning, there's a lot of trees out there that have never seen 24 hours of gale force winds.
It's because the two most important metrics of EVs , range + performance, aren't visible.
And - let's be honest here - those metrics are mostly the same across manufacturers due to battery limitations.
So they have to overcompensate with style to stand out from that other EV that uses the same base platform and the same battery chemistry and the same charging system and etc etc.

is stopping me from writing code like this, and I have never been more happier using it after viewing this.
harmonic response several times stronger in flight than had been seen during testing,
Pogo oscillations at higher g loads towards the end of the burn? 🤔
Everything else is rarely equal though. As can be evidenced by decades of >5% rates.
Currently interest rates affect QOL so much because everyone is mortgaged up to their eyeballs. That isn't normal but unfortunately the policies that have promoted that are beyond the RBAs scope.
So yes , lower interest rates help QOL but they also promote inflation and that's a much harder beast to reign in once it gets up and rolling - for example, we're never going to get back the cumulative 25% increase in the cost of living we've been hit with in the last 4 years or so.
And calling the RBAs response "bizarre" - when we are in a period where caution might be a good idea due to contradictory economic indicators - just seems a bit hyperbolic.
People don't just leave leaking apps out there for consumption.
Ha! Welcome to corporate, where vendors sell you software and say that the hardware has to have 128GB of ram and when you poke around a bit you discover a single JVM with constantly growing memory usage with a script that restarts it every time it runs out of resources.
AND a log file that describes - in typical Java excruciating detail - the precise lines in each module where the devs allocated resources but didn't free them. About 40 times a second.
I loaded the video, paused, jump jump jump jump jumped through the timeline looking at the thumbnail images, about 5 seconds of actual playback while I watched them mess it up, more minor adjustments in the timeline, paused for 15 seconds at the thing I actually wanted, closed the video.
Good luck getting any kind of decent metrics out of that.
I can skim documents at 800 words a minute, they are mostly nicely arranged and indexed/sectioned. Compare that to videos where half the words are "um, so", and it's no wonder I prefer text.
Lol between the top paragraph and the bottom one the number of partners increased by 23. I wonder how many partners they have now?
They aim to actively deorbit starlink sats.
(Edit: they keep a small amount of propellant in reserve for the initial deorbit burn, and then position the solar array to give maximum drag which hastens things considerably)
As far as I know, apart from the first few batches, the "production run" of sats has a pretty low failure rate and are proactively sent to their demise.
