Your maths is incorrect, I believe. a=0.8g=8m/s² s=1+3=4m v²=2as=64 => v=8m/s, same as above, and necessarily so because the conversion from potential to kinetic energy occurs the same way. ½at²-s=0 4 t² - 4=0 So total t=1s I'm not sure what "infinite storeys" has to do with that, you've...

I seem to keep missing the UNHCR updates, even though I had been looking for it. So here's some older news: On 21 April, the World Bank announced that physical damage to Ukraine’s buildings and infrastructure has reached roughly US$ 60 billion. • On 20 April, four evacuation buses managed to...

28 Apr 2022 The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, today returned from Ukraine to the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna and held a press conference, where he briefed journalists on his visit to the Chornobyl nuclear power plant (NPP)...

Russian forces intensified airstrikes against transportation infrastructure in Western Ukraine on May 4 but remain unable to interdict Western aid shipments to Ukraine. Six Russian cruise missiles hit electrical substations near railway stations in Lviv and Transcarpathia (the southwestern...

What is weird about this report series growing over time? It's what I'd expect.

Gotta love the out-of-context "hockey stick" and how the line from the "East Pole" across Nigeria and the Sinai misses China altogether on any common map (including the one in this picture), but approximately goes past Wuhan on a polar azimuthal equidistant projection map (aka Gleeson's aka Flat...

1) who hands out the data of absentee voters? seems a simple fix to stop doing that. 2) if anyone went around asking for ballots over here, they'd be reported to the police right quick.

There are no rules for this. Elections are organized at the community level, that's a 3rd-tier subdivision (German government is subdivided into states (1st tier), counties (2nd tier) and communities (3rd tier)). Each community provides several voting locations, typically within walking...

Gotta trust this kind of reporting. Guys, if you had to make up a number, you should've gone with "2020 mules". 2000 was the election of the chad, not the mule. ;-) This is just so hard to understand, looking at the US from the outside: that it's not the process that makes it hard for people to...

The Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted a large-scale counteroffensive east of Kharkiv City on May 2, which could unhinge Russian positions to the northeast. A US senior defense official reported that Ukrainian forces pushed Russian forces about 40 km east on May 2, and social media reports...

It didn't occur to anyone that the mark of that doomsday would be school shooting before it happened. The only way to make it so is to actually wait for the date, and then to pick the worst thing that kinda fits the bill: hindsight, not prediction. There's always something bad on the evening...

The political and diplomatic failures have occurred before that happens, and obviously the aggressor is part of it. But I find the black&white world view too simplified, and I think it's more likely to lead to war than to peace.

Yes. And that's why a diplomatic approach of "you really shouldn't be doing this" doesn't work and invites war. If you want peace, you need to negotiate the interests of everyone. The fact that soldiers and civilians are dying in Europe again is a failure of diplomacy and politics.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people. Except it's the "take a date and pick something fitting in hindsight" method, it's not even the worst incident until that date...

Debunking the Russian nuclear threat I've been following Perun's youtube channel for a few weeks. He used to post gaming videos, but after Russia invaded, he's been posting hour-long powerpoint talks on variozs aspects of the conflict that have been quite popular. Perun has studied military...

That right there could be the Metabunk mission statement.

I haven't argued that there was a "concerted effort", I've said that the situation changed as a result of the Eastern bloc opening up (glasnost). Obviously, much of the change is due to countries self-determining their future. But it would be wrong to say that the West didn't systematically...

Conspiracy theorists aren't looking for truth, they already know it. You may recognize this from your own past. It took a personal, emotional shake-up for your own world-view to change. Likely it won't be any different for your father. It's hard to get out of the "cult" because of what it...

@Devilboii mentions neither Democrats nor big business. "Commies" have been the bad guys/scapegoats for a long time.

less complexity, because a) the wing can be a cardboard cut-out as the camera position does not change and b) compositing the lid with the wing cut-out "in hardware" is simpler than doing it in software.
