  • That's sort of what I was thinking reading this headline. "Does it matter?"

    He doesn't exactly need the pardon now. I don't know how the GOP is cool rejecting his picks for his cabinet, but based on history if Trump gets his way none of the processes we have in place will mean much.

    I suppose I should get more comfortable camping huh.

  • Now 'ere's what crazy-ol' u/peopleproblems would do. Crazy ol' u/peopleroblems would come to the sum of bitches we have in Acquisitions, and say 'how many weeks could a force of exactly Ukraine's force hold a position with everything we have currently sitting in storage deployment ready, but not otherwise deployed? Ok, and how about all the equipment we have being delivered under contract for that many weeks? Ok, now, get me a number to replace all that equipment with the newest contracts set to immediately fill everything we send for that first chunk. Ok, now double it, and phone the pencil pushers to get procurement offers for this shit from the defense manufacturers. Yes, definitely let their boards know too. Oh, don't mention where the already purchased equipment is going, that's national security interest. Just mention the US is interested in making them rich in turn for securing our country for a long time."

    "And give that number to Congress?"

    "Once the various board members hear first. We gotta feed the handlers before we treat the pawns in Congress."

    "Sir is that, legal?"

    "It's an official act. I just made it legal."

  • No, see, the real red flags are the ones you aren't aware of yet.

    Those are the ones I'm frightened of. Like there's just this itty-bit of something just waiting for the right bump to break and cut my brake lines while I'm on the highway.

    I don't know what it is, but I know it's there, so I gotta be self-critical until I find the piece to fix!

    At the very least I can tell you my job isn't in sales.

  • I appreciate the confidence, but girlfriends require time. While it would be cool and could be helpful to have that extra support around, all I can do is provide money and dick.

  • There's a lot of caveats to that. It's almost never civilian related casualties, stabilizing traumatic injury, and increasing combatant effective hours. A soldier missing a limb can't fight anymore, no DoD funds for him, unless troop counts are predicted to fall below sustainable amounts and you desperately need a way to keep troops effective.

  • Ah, there's the key part that keeps confusing people: "Energy" when they are thinking of "Power."

    Energy is a property of a thing. Power is the amount of energy (property of thing) transported over time.

    It's impossible to list all the energies you interact with from a laptop, but here's a few:

    1. Various photons from the screen. A photon's energy is based on its wavelength. A higher energy photon has shorter wavelengths.
    2. The mass of the keyboard is an energy equivalent. A property of the laptop.
    3. The photons transmitted by Wifi, Bluetooth, or other radio sources - these are actually all a lower energy than the ones from a screen.

    Power just means more of those flowing. An infinite number of Wifi photons can hit Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (most commonly in DNA) and they will never knock an electron off. Same with the photos from your screen. That doesn't mean there will be no effect.

    Wi-Fi photons in the 2.4Ghz range do transfer energy into water molecules and increase their total kinetic energy (since they can't "gain mass" this means velocity). Increased Kinect energy really means increased heat. Enough heat, leads to burns.

  • A radio spitting 1MW of anything on your stomach is going to give you a pretty nasty burn from waste heat, but wifi range - 2.4Ghz is gonna cook your water molecules real good. Still no ionizing happening.

    Key thing here is your talking about power, and individual atoms don't care about that sort of thing. They care about the individual quanta they're interacting with.

    1000 radio frequency photons will never have the individual energy to bump an electron. 1 UV (and shorter wavelengths) photon can bump an electron

  • Q-tips

  • They do it to me too. It's fucking weird, but it's all connected to the throat anyway, so it almost makes sense some of the nerves are shared.

    Probably something do with balance or illness

  • Yeah, Capcom figured that out ages ago with Monster Hunter.

    They tweak some movesets on the skeletons, they improve the ai a bit. They create new textures, and spend their time making endgame bosses a more unique.

    My favorite example is Kushala Daora. I don't exactly know how many times his skeleton has been reused, but I know Monster Hunter World had at least three reuses of it.

    But they always have unique fights for final bosses, even if the Elder Dragon reused assets.

    Programming is all about reuse in general. Reuse is part of good applications.
