that is insanely cool. I researched how insects fly a few months ago and it fits really well.




for people skipping the link, here’s the just: most birds just flap their wings up and down. it’s strong but they can’t turn very well. insects flap more diagonally, in a figure-8 pattern. this actually kicks up little tornados under their insect wings, and tilting those tornados allows them to fly in any direction.

so a bird flies more like an airplane, while an insect flies more like a helicopter



of course, hummingbirds, for whatever godforsaken evolutionary reason, like to hover in place instead of flying forward. I supposed they got hooked on sugar and flower pollen. of course they also need to flap in a more figure-8 like pattern so they can flit about in any direction.

what’s new to me is that hummingbirds purposefully induce turbulence, like millions of tiny tornados. I wonder if insects also induce turbulence, since it’s harder to make thousands of tiny tornados when you already have tiny wings. from the insect perspective, it might be more natural to make one giant tornado.

Ya there are in fact 1 type of wider town region in England

The town which is full of snooty posh bastards (or normal people, if you're from there), the slightly worse one nearby which likes to make it out that it's as good but isn't, and the slightly worse one than that which perhaps used to have a factory in it.

A Handful of Nobles did this tbf. Like normal people were busy being p much also slaves on tenant farms or making matches 10 to a garret while Britain was at Peak Importance Historically. The people who want to go back to that are either Very Stupid (Are Britane people) or Would Actually Benefit From It (Gove et al).

just lol if you don’t know how to translate Trump tweets

Obama gave Iran a deal that was very favorable to Iran, but really bad for the US, thus making it a "terrible" deal.

Despite how good the deal is for Iran, Iran is still failing.

another fun fact is that repealing Obama’s Iran deal would make their economy worse both because of additional sanctions and because the government would divert funds into a weapons program.

Good luck fitness goon! The worst part of gyms in January is all the new people who use it as a place to rest their water bottles while talking about their resolutions and how they're totally going to stick this time but have patience, they all leave after about 3 weeks. Alternately, turn an extra room into a lifting/posting area and avoid having to deal with people.

There's nine people on the court. If a store with nine employees started a sexual harassment course it would be very obviously because Dan did something he wasn't supposed to and now the owner wants to avoid a lawsuit.

It's not a question of "which one" but rather "how many"? If it were just one that should be easy, Thomas, everyone moves on. I'll guess Thomas for garden variety sexual harassment, Kennedy for making his male clerks wear slacks that are just a little too tight and Alito is probably into some really weird poo poo we can't even comprehend.

This is probably in reaction to that guy from the 9th Circuit who just resigned.


Oh good, now my brother-in-law and his family can be directly harassed by the government for their national origin rather than just for the color of their skin and religion. :allears:

The real trick is what the shortest transition will be between "America is the best" and "America is a mess". I'd say within two sentences, but how are we going to identify something like sentence structure out of his usual word salad?

it’s also been funny seeing pictures and videos of protests in other countries spread on social media labeled as protests in Iran. one might wonder if there’s some kind of coordinated effort behind such misinformation. I’m sure Seth and Eric will get right on that.
