Sconrad122,

If you are going to and from points within a solar system, probably but not necessarily. Every transfer made between gravitational influences increases the chance that you will enter at an angle to the equatorial plane, especially if the two influences are not coplanar traveling between solar systems would likely have you entering at a significant angle. Furthermore, approaching a ship at a low velocity means slowing down as you approach them, so even if you do approach coplanar, it would be engines first and not nose first (unless star trek vessels have an ability to reverse their propulsors? I don’t know if that’s ever been shown aside from by approaching things nose first). The expanse showed this aspect of space interaction well with the flip and burn maneuvers

Low key convinced this started out as “monster hail” and then got butchered by an AI or like 5 Google translate passes

Or they are just approaching net worth 0 after years of working off student loan debt. There are plenty of people who would be in position to have a near infinite or even a negative effective wealth tax rate because so many college graduates (and college dropouts) in America are starting well below zero net worth

Biden vows to reopen Baltimore port, rebuild collapsed Key Bridge (thehill.com)

President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill....

Sconrad122,

That’s actually exactly why it (and the MMBT and the CBBT) is a bridge tunnel, so that a failure cannot block the port, military base, and shipyards

Sconrad122,

Is the creation of a nuclear-armed North Korea in the Middle East with an effective ballistic missile program the change you wish to see in the world?

Sconrad122,

Factually incorrect and an erasure of the experience of the millions of Palestinians continuing to eke out a living in the concentration camp/warzone hybrid that the IDF have made Gaza into. You’re making it too obvious that you are arguing in bad faith and just want to attack Biden regardless of the facts. Not to mention bringing up abortion rights as if it is believable that Biden is responsible for a republican supermajority in the S.C. and the solution is to enable more republican control over the government

Sconrad122,

Any Lords of Sealand want to convince your peers to issue a law that what the USSR did was legal and that, in fact, Crimea was supposed to be interpreted as “everything west of the Urals”? Seems like it would hold about the same amount of water

Sconrad122,

Actions or action? I was infuriated by the railroad strike response, and I’ll never view that as anything but a miserable decision, but Biden was also the first president to join picket lines with the UAW strike and, for what it’s worth, leaders of the railroad unions did give him some credit for helping negotiate for the sick day benefits they were able to earn in the months following. He’s no Mother Jones by a longshot, but grading the balance of his actions on the curve of US politicians, he’s a C+ at worst

Sconrad122,

Easy. It’s fake because conservatives would never express the idea of a moist vagina as a positive. Female pleasure is an anathema to them because it means there isn’t an unbalanced power dynamic favoring them

Sconrad122,

That’s a pretty scary thought right? Like I’m not saying you are advocating this view, but there’s sort of an undertone there of “don’t withhold your body from us or well take it by force”. Again, you could just be making an objective prediction, and I don’t want to imply otherwise, but if someone thinks that a spike in rape cases is an appropriate consequence to this movement (and you would think there would have to be for your prediction to come true), I hope that person/persons can have a good wank followed by some deep self-reflection on their views towards women

Sconrad122,

Wow, this article reads very biased in favor of the NIMBYs, especially right out of the gate (it does bring in some counter-narratives by the middle/end). “real concerns” is an unnecessary adjective that downplays the fact that one of these concerns appears to be TOD causing traffic and parking issues as if the alternative wouldn’t and another appears to be endangerment of seniors without a clear causal link. “established low-density neighborhoods” as if no infill/up zoning should ever take place and we should only ever build towers on farmland at the outskirts of the city where they would definitely drive high car usage and traffic for inner neighborhoods. The writer is speaking from the perspective of the project opponents, but does not make it clear that these are biased perspectives being reported on and not facts, especially with the “real” preface
