hindsight Engelbrecht told Tucker Carlson that the average ballot mule made 38 drop box visits — “and it’s on tape!” she added on Twitter. But five months later, no evidence, videotaped or otherwise, supports anything close to that claim. [...] Asked during a Wisconsin state legislative...

As of today, she's no longer a Democrat; no surprise after she spoke at CPAC earlier this year. Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii announced Tuesday that she's leaving the Democratic Party because she said it's "now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly...

Holding patterns are indeed often racetrack-shaped. OTOH I'd expect pilots to know that.

the one that begins where you stopped scrolling twitter tends to give the earlier tweet in a chain as bonus when you link to a response and that earlier tweet (with the indent line down the left side) is the one you looked at

it does happen, rarely On the morning of August 30, 1972, three young men set off from Stonecroft Station on an everyday job, their truck laden with a delivery of ammonium nitrate. They had barely reached the public road when the truck combusted with such force that it left a two-meter deep...

The explosion was almost certainly above the bridge deck and not below. The far guardrail wouldn't have been blown off in a below-deck explosion because it would have been in the "shadow" of the bridge deck. The below-deck infrastructure would show more damage. Generally, the "steel box"...

Russian forces conducted a massive missile strike attack against over 20 cities, including Kyiv, on October 10. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces launched over 84 cruise missiles and 24 drone attacks, 13 of which were carried out with Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones.[1]...

Earth's orbital speed is 30 km/s. An F-18 has a max. speed of 0.5 km/s, so the UFO wouldn't be in range for more than a few seconds if it wasn't tied to Earth. (And that's only if the sun is the frame of reference, which is moving at 230 km/s.) If you consider these motions, the vector of thrust...

No. In your quoted example, if you lower the price, more people will buy. But that doesn't tell you anything about what happens when people have more disposable income—it's not "the opposite", it's a different factor influencing the variable. If you have f(x,y)=x*y, then the elasticity of f is...

0.018⁰ tilt comes to 3 pixels per 10000. If your camera can capture the bridge side-on with 10,000 pixels height, the image width needs to be about 100,000 pixels.

Yes, if you know the shape of the Earth. See the problem?

GPS sensors measure positions, not distances. You can measure the relevant distances with surveyor's tools, or with laser ranging. Put your laser in the middle of the bridge, use a drone to fly laser reflectors up there.

From the article on the Humber bridge: Interestingly, I did find a paper about measuring the deflection of the north tower of the Humber Bridge caused by wind loading and other dynamic stresses in the structure. The paper is primarily concerned with measuring the motion of the road deck, but...

there is no way to measure air speed that accurately anyway hence my suggestion to measure a fixed distance closer to the ground

the question in the pipeline context is what types of aircraft conduct night patrols over the Baltic sea

This is usually suggested with bridge pylons, e.g. Firth of Forth, and the claim that they're a few cms further apart at the top than at the bottom. The towers of the Humber Bridge rest on pylons in the estuary bed. The towers are 1410 metres apart, and 155.5 metres high. If the Earth were...

Steven Greenstreet seems convinced as well. Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/MiddleOfMayhem/status/1529200112513077249 Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/MiddleOfMayhem/status/1571533704358666244

Landru said it.

The difference is the period where the aircraft went dark and the data is missing. On the Reuters map, there's a hole in the flight path, i.e. there's a path for "coming" and a path for "going" and a hole in-between. On the 3D map, the ends are connected with a long straight line. It's the same...
