There was a video about attempting to arrest someone eating a sandwich when it wasn't allowed. You have to enforce the rules for people who refuse to stop after a warning otherwise there's no point in having any rules at all.

It seems petty but it's only petty by the person refusing to follow them

Is there some allowance for flying over Kaliningrad? I thought we were being "friendly neighbours" and not overflying each others territories.

Anyway it's really annoying that all of a sudden the gps stuff is being brought up every time a politician gets in a plane now. It's being going on for years and for everyone. Seems like a pretty weak thing to be hyping up all of a sudden as a justification for whatever escalation they plan next

Maximum payload is 1.5t but the fuel payload is 12t so 3t of cocaine barely scratches it

I thought the reference point was the top of the head not the back

[–] BillBurBaggins@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No because when you look left your head doesn't tilt right. When you look up your head tilts backwards

I mean that's literally the point the image is trying to make. The last sentence says the point is outside the sun for Jupiter.

I don't think nitpicking the title achieves anything and it's not even misleading unless it's only taken in isolation.

I love that band

No part, thats why I said hypothetical. But it's the only way to make sense of the claim that volume Vs mass is an issue.

Hopefully we're not imagining halving the bounding box around the giraffe including the air

[–] BillBurBaggins@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It kind of does if you half the volume. If you end up with the hypothetical gas filled half of a giraffe then it's less mass than if you end up with the meat filled half.

Unless you were only trying to convey volume to begin with then yes it doesn't make a difference.

[–] BillBurBaggins@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Surely a giraffe is nearly uniform density making the distinction between volume and mass irrelevant

Yeah there are obviously unfortunate cases. But to put another unsourced number out there I would say 90% of open source maintainers are employed in some way or even directly to work on that thing.

The point of bringing it up is that those people would gladly give a pass on an interview to someone they already know contributes than some random graduate they don't know.
