Well, they highjacked a plane at the start of the second movie iirc so…

Sudoku?

Ah, the american healthcare system is to blame! /s

This is a rare case where something being marked nsfw makes me more uncomfortable. I couldve pictured this as safe for work damn you!

Thats a bold assumption to make knowing i suck at this lol

Upon closer inspection, now it looks like the guy from the TIL youtube channel. Given my skillz, probably not him but im reasonably confident in saying theyre close probably

The real issue has been going on since the 80s

Vsauce! Micheal here!

I have 0 facial recognition. I cant tell if thats a really old screenshot of micheal or not

True, but its not far off. I ran the math on minimum wage, the machine costs $2000 a month for maintance, whereas full time at minimum wage is 1200 a month. If the employee makes more than $12/h the machine would cost less for maintance. That is ignoring the upfront cost of $20,000-$30,000, but the nature of fast food with its low employee retention and high burnout rate means the upfront costs would likely be worthwhile for companies like mcdonalds. Not having to go through the hiring process would save a fair bit of money id imagine, though i have no clue how much.

Its also worth noting that these machines are way more expensive than they need to be, because they are kept artificially high because the payoff for buying one is so large. Companies REALLY want automation, and theyre willing to pay top dollar to get it because it means they dont need slaves anymore. Same with the maintance, there is about a zero percent chance it legitimately costs the maintance company anywhere in the astronomical ballpark of $2000 a month to maintain the machines.

Hmm, i dunno, when people start yelling at me suddenly everything techy stops functioning oddly. Its not my fault the conputer mysteriously rebooted. I also cant be blamed that the wifi is down, so we only accept cash. But also I cant accept $100 bills. Also in order to accept any denomination above a 5 i have to use a counterfeit pen. Oh no! Our pen is gone, oof. Oh dang, you dont have 75$ in ones? Thats a real shame, mate. Also due to an issue with our security system were closing early today, in about 30 seconds.

Someone called in to corporate to falsely complain about me, so the next time they came in i told them they were banned. They complained to corporate about that too, so when corporate came to check on us. They proceeded to offer us a free rug cleaning service, but other than that had nothing to say. Im not sure if its just my current job or what, but I have a startling amount of power to completely shut down peoples ability to utilize my store. So be nice to workers, you never know how difficult they can make things for you. Also yknow just dont be a dick

The first issue is definitely solvable, thats just a material science issue. The second one is also definitely possible, but depending on the payload it might be very difficult. Seems easier to just accelerate a tungsten sphere to mach 4 than to bother with a warhead.

For the intense heat, thats a waste product. Get rid of it by not producing it in the first place. Which means your rails are now cryocooled superconductors.

For the immense forces, i might need to look into railguns again. Afaik the only force that isnt being counteracted is the force on the projectile. I might be wrong at those power levels, while the net force should be zero the force on the arms could be opposite, ripping the railgun apart or crushing it. The solution i would think is coiling your rails around the barrel, now the rails effectively act as their own support with a minor bracing.

For the record, i didnt put it together that he was referring specifically to the large models. I just knew i made a rail gun back in high school and its wasnt difficult, so the idea that the US govt cant copy my project struck me as absurd.

Finally, im a hobby electrician with my passions lying more in technology and futurism, so i have looked into railguns in passing but I do not work for the military nor have i looked into the specifics of the large scale models, so corrections are more than welcome.

Uh, what? Railguns are a tech as old as time, i highly doubt the US was the first to create one. I could throw a railgun together in about 30 minutes with the stuff i have laying around the house. They are INCREDIBLY simple, literally 1 moving part and no circutry whatsoever. Just hook your positive to one rail, negative to the other. Right hand rule tells you which direction your projectile will fire.

How many dimensions are available in the horizontal dimension? Are we running low on dimensions?

Kotor 2 all the way, hell yeah

Jb condemned kyle over a joke. My personal issue is that the joke voiced an opinion that I think would have indisputably improved the world, and I cannot in good faith listen to someone that, even through indifferance or inaction, supports the greatest existential crisis the world has known since the cold war. I have since removed all of Jack Blacks media from my sources. I just get too frustrated when I hear him. Same with Kanye, I never listened to Diddy in the first place, but I just had to delete all of Disturbed’s music as well and that one is rough.

Havent thought about tenacious D ever since I had to delete all their music :(

Im using connect and it works just fine. The only oddity is that there is no thumbnail.

I think the issue is that im excited to see my friends when i want to see my friends, im not excited to have people stop my train of thought while im trying to do something

Appreciate it. I have never heard of that word in any context other than what i mentioned, so it must not be oart of the local lexicon or it was before my time.
