Easy blah blah obliterates/annihilates their opponent in alleged debate.

We might as well go for the most obscene words at this point.

Hopefully it’s more to keep the attack geese out. Loons too.

Ask if you want but I’m not sure if the question is ability or suvivability. You can lick anything once. Just might regret it.

Still gotta worry about stuff that could send a ton of current to fry the ports too. USB condoms can help here too but your own power adapter is best.

Basically I think though my latins rusty it reads like google translate in that the form seems wrong like someone transliterated English to Latin and ignored Latin grammar and logic in that Latin speaking people in Latin really doesn’t exist in the same way. Latini I think was only the subgroup of Latin speakers in Italy named Latium, either way not how a Roman Latin speaker would refer to a Latin speaker in general, not that the concept existed in the same way.

It’s kind of like translating Japanese directly into English, reads off if you say in the room there are many chair in English kinda deal.

I thought I knew German decently, this place has made my brain hurt.

Ok I’ll bite, I’ve had Brit coworkers try to draw me into their tea cult with Yorkshire tea which they “promised” me was like crack in a cup.

Note before you say I didn’t make it right I have an electric tea kettle with options for all tea types and I steep things like black tea for 4 minutes as is recommended.

It was… ok, not worth the bother if I’m honest. I’ll stick to matcha or Japanese green tea personally.

But I will yeet any British tea into the nearest harbor out of spite to being told tea is the best beverage ever.

I’m sad cause the dude managed to get a ton of shit through with a one vote majority here. He’s a good politician that doesn’t bs too much. Course the right here is as crazy as anywhere, if more democrats in the us were like mn democrats more shit would get done ignoring the cheese and wine coalition.

Shiba Inu’s are kinda close, and a lot less loud and smelly. They’re like dogs with cat software.

I mean crashing technically counts as a landing. We can use the rocketry term lithobraking to make it sound better.

Important note rde’s can have more than one detonation wave, most cfd simulations and prototypes have 2 or 3 chasing each other. The challenge being keeping all of them moving at the same speed so as not to flame out etc…

The coolest thing here is we can remove compressors from engines with this approach. That’s huge complexity just poof gone and weight. And that’s ignoring the efficiency gained from these guys.

The physics behind this can theoretically improve all turbines by up to 25% efficiency. Not just rockets but turbines, thats nothing to sneeze at. Your point is noted, but misguided as nasa is around for exactly this reason to push the limits of physics not building housing. This is a huge leap forward. The brayton cycle working at the top of its efficiency curve at all is akin to jet engines over propellers. It’s that big of a deal to increase efficiency by 25% for an entire class of engines.
