Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn’t have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

As with most things in the US, California has similar laws to the gdpr (though admittedly not as powerful), so a lot of websites are starting to change a bit in the US because of california.

Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It’s not just “keep nothing in inventory”, there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

The problem is that leadership doesn’t interpret it that way and just sees “minimizing inventory increases profit!”

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!

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.

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

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’s a massive difference between an acoustically-optimized, AIP-capable Swedish submarine built thirty years ago, and what the North Koreans have which is basically none of those.

Also, while the Reagan itself was pretty new at the time, the Nimitz class was already a 30-year old design when that war game happened, and is now almost 60 years old as a class.

There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn’t exist.

He is the governor of the state of Florida and a potential US presidential candidate.

Useful filters to get rid of him are: DeSantis, Rhonda sandtits, “pudding fingers”

(Don’t ask)

Didn’t realize Lithuania was under 3 million. For some reason I had it in my head that they were closer to 4-5. Insane.

Define “conservative”

I’ve been on the middle of a parking lot, in a smaller car then both my neighbors, with my bumper (on front and back) less far out than my neighbors and still got a nice $500 bumper-rub.

Being remotely close to the edge is not in your personal self interest.

That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it’s clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

Just as an example, right now gas prices are around the $5.00-5.40 range (5.40 for premium).

That gas station is currently at $6.60/gal for regular. There’s a chevron right down the street for $5.15/gal

The owner of the website certainly has no reason to inflate their numbers…
