Many people in the US are paid every two weeks, which means some months you’re paid more than others.

Yearly has become standard as is hourly rate, because one is useful for taxes and the other is often directly negotiated.

When is this said, that’s hilarious!

While there is overlap it definitely isn’t 1:1 though. There are tons of ff non-linux users and tons of Linux non-ff users.

This isn’t to detract from what you said, just add to it.

He literally wrote in his own book that he’s the villain.

He deserves no peace.

How about I think about everyone he’s hurt?

Hitler had a family too.

F35A is now down to about $70 million/piece now, which further demonstrates the point of costs coming down with mass production I think.

It originally was more like $150 million.

“I’ve only been to explicitly adult shows which is why I think they’re adult shows”

Of course if you only go to gay clubs with heavy drinking you’d think those shows are for adults. Because those shows ARE for adults.

I personally consider the violence contained in the Bible much worse for children than anything I’ve seen in a drag show, even the more “adult” ones.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

California has a system for this too. They put an extra box on your compressor that allows the utility to shut it off longer but in return you get a discount on your summer bills (whether or not they actually use it).

The steepest discount is something like they can shut it off for up to 6 hours per “event” and you get $180. They have other ones though like up to 15 minutes every half hour for up to 6 hours total and you get $90.

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn’t specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.

FAA also doesn’t want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.

Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I’m not sure, but that’s part of the research.

They’re promising a perceived 75 dB level, equivalent to the volume of a dishwasher. Sonic booms are normally about 110 dB or about a jackhammer or a rock concert

And it’s not like you’d hear it all the time, just once in a while and only if you’re in the flight path.

I’ve told many (usually new) design engineers that they’re stupid for asking for 0.001" tolerance on parts when they only need 0.005 “or 0.010”. The difference between 0.010" and sub-10 micron is easily a factor of 100 in most parts, ESPECIALLY when you’re talking larger steel components like panels on a freaking car.

There are houses that sell for the same price as a car ($20‐50,000) in Pittsburgh, so your absolutist statement is dead wrong.

They are funding modern reactor research/development. One example is x energy.

It’s pretty bad when you’re this misinformed and frankly, extremely ignorant on a topic and then make a comment like this.
