Guns are still not hearing-safe outside. And if you're indoors, you probably should double up on the hearing protection (foam plugs with over the ear protection on top) This one is not that surprising in mass media - there's no wa

Electrek's take on the rusty brake is lousy. Rusty rotors has reduced effectiveness. EV with regen uses the actual brakes because the driver hits the brakes hard enough, presumably emergency braking. The fact that they rust and it&#x27

Even if we take the argument at face value, we should allow LLMs to train their models for free, on the backs of real people's work, just so that there's a chance that they actually improved well enough to replace humans, all that

Not that professional. Looks like a suppressor on a pistol, but not configured and tested so that it doesn't malfunction. Shooter is skilled enough to deal with the malfunctions. This suggests that shooter's at the minimum enth

You'd think when Rota, the speaker said that the soldier thought against the Russians in WW2, people would clue in. We have 338 trained seals up in Parliament. And they're still saying it's Russian propaganda...

Don't worry, there are plenty of doublethink practitioners who believes that Russia blew up Nord Stream, pipelines that supplies Russian gas to Germany that Russia already turned off the tap at the source. Look at the incentives and co

It's the same old, tired rant about how Python's terrible. The post is basically a surgeon complaining that a chef's knife is terrible for surgery; or how the F-16 can't loiter in the battlefield and deliver strafing fir

It's ugly, it's only at 300ft, and it's an equivalent of a leaking valve, so they're not going from inside atmosphere to outside pressure in an instant. At their depth, where presumably the carbon fibre let go, it's

It's very doubtful they actually were stuck long enough to even consider that scenario. Most likely it was lost, i.e. imploded, long ago when they initially lost comms. They wouldn't have time to even register the event.

Aaron Amick called it. An engineering student said that in the video of OceanGate wrapping carbon fibre, they were making a 2nd year engineering mistake of not doing a cross weave. It's basically unidirectional and likely to fail when
