So you’re telling me that Excel is very good at stuff?

Never Back Down

It’s more like 2.5 billion for R&D and then 2.5 billion to create the factory that builds them and the first thousand units. The per unit cost is initially high and then comes down once all the front end work is done.

And as with many programs, the R&D phase may lead to a brand new use-case for drones or an entirely different purpose for one of the drone prototypes. So there can be unknown benefits too.

Ironic… he could see the problems in others… But not himself.

My three year old niece is in her choice phase. Every time I’ve seen her in the last six months, I ask for a hug and she smiles and says “noooooo!” Then rushes to give my wife a hug. I just let it go because she’s said no and that means no. Then usually later in the day she’ll pop around and give me a huge hug then. I’m hoping that means she learns that no means no, so when a boy later on tries to make it a “yes” she’ll make him understand it really does mean no.

Sexists close ranks around each other to protect their own. This probably only ends after the Spanish FA has been completely rebuilt.

At least the the ships being warships carrying civilians things has a real life analog. Many (but not all) colony ships sailing Earth oceans were usually heavily armed. This was to deter pirates or privateers from raiding the ships the day after they left port and taking all the supplies they’d need for their colony. And the ships were full of women and children. And more than a few got into battles somewhere along their voyage. Then when the colonists got where they were going, in some instances they’d just pull the guns off the ship and set them up to defend the colony.

How did we live?!!!

Or, they have the greatest, most technologically advanced space navy, with the Mariner Valley full of Chinese-Texans who all speak with the Texan drawl.

This is golden!! :D

Don’t forget blowing up the train tracks leading into Tokmak! It’s not really about taking Tokmak but putting fire control on the train running through Tokmak. If Ukraine can prevent resupply via the trains then everything west of Tokmak falls practically without a shot.

I am the… No, really… No ex-President takes mug shots like me. I’m just…Have you seen it? It’s beautiful. People all say it’s the greatest ex-President mug shot ever.

But the “WORK FROM HOME” company should be doing EVERYTHING to encourage the activity that keeps THEM in business. It’s mind-boggling!

Poland would make quick work of Wagner. They have not fucked around in making their army one of the best in Europe in combined arms warfare. They’ve also updated their most of their materiel to Western gear (or are producing their own that is equal to Western gear) that we now know is dramatically superior to the old Soviet//Russian gear. They’ve been in on practically every peacekeeping mission across the world for the last 25 years, seasoning their officers with combat experience. They are far more competent than Wagner, to put it briefly.

Damn right it is!

He has family in Russia. If he doesn’t get them out, they die painfully. Maybe Pringles had a heart in there somewhere after all.

Reports are that Moscow’s anti-air fired on the jet… “accidentally.”

How do you know the plane didn’t have a nice window on it?

There is no way to do that. You have to have a precise knowledge of the mass of fat and muscle on your bones, the exact quantity of blood and the ability of that blood to transport and deliver oxygen and nutrients into those tissues. IF you want something accurate, you’d have to precisely measure ALL of the food you eat (and water you drink) and know it’s nutrient makeup and then collect ALL the CO2 you breathe for a day and ALL of your urine and feces and test those to see what’s there. From there you can back-calculate and see what your energy surplus/deficit might be.

Fitness trackers are making assumptions to do those calculations. If you are 30 years old and 5’10" (177.8cm) and weigh 165lbs (74.84kg), then your BMI is 23.7 and you’re probably healthy and it’ll calculate X usage of calories per hour. But that won’t be accurate if you have things like fast or slow metabolism, or heart problems or kidney problems that might affect metabolism indirectly. But it’s accurate enough for most people. The more data you’re willing to put into the equation, like knowing heart rate, breathing rate, sleep, etc. The more accurate the prediction can be, but it won’t be perfect practically ever.

Yep, people in Rochester were pissed to learn this. Instead of riding the wave, Kodak execs turned the company into a donkey.
