Venusian Weasel posted:I love how they say that volcanic activity leads to cooling, but the densest cluster of major eruptions is where the temperature is rising the most. Almost all of the ones on the chart are during an upswing or right before an upswing. Both "volcanic eruptions cause global warming" or "cooler than average climate causes volcanoes  " are more logical takeaways from that chart than what they're asserting.

"Left libertarian" in the political compass covers the range from people who think that there should be a strong social safety net and progressive taxation (so no, they don't hate taxes) but also support civil liberties (freedom of speech, press, association, movement, etc) to democratic socialists to anarchists, depending on how far left you go. Libertarians in America all seem right wing because it's only right-libertarians that actually call themselves libertarians. Theris has a new favorite as of 00:56 on Dec 10, 2017 |

The source is Yelp, so I'm guessing that's the category of restaurants that get the most reviews in that state. Edit: or maybe substantially more reviews than the same category of restaurants in other states, since they said disproportionate.

It doesn't really affect the way the chart is presented, but I wonder if the data supporting the conclusion is really the result of white Democrats becoming less racist, or if it's the result of racist white Democrats realizing they're actually Republicans, (Trump seems to have helped with that) causing racists to be a smaller percentage of a shrinking number of white Democrats. Edit:  I just read the article. The study actually controlled for that, asking the same people each time.

Bongo Bill posted:A few years before the peak of UFO sightings, everybody started carrying around high-quality cameras at all times. This sounds reasonable. The peak takes off during the early smartphone era when everyone started having a lovely camera on them, then the drop kicks in around the time that even cheap phones were getting decent cameras.

Chitin posted:Actually Beta was a fairly common delivery format for standard def television programming long after VCR went obsolete so a working BetaMax player is likely still operating at most broadcast television stations. I've delivered content on Beta and I'm only 33. Betamax (the consumer video format) and Betacam (the professional video format that you used) are not the same thing. The tapes are more or less identical, but you can't playback a tape that's been recorded on one system with with a deck from the other because the actual recording format is different. Because Sony.

Is there a name for the phenomena where a serious problem is discovered -> it hits the media and the general public gets concerned -> people like HSM say things like "why are you worried, remember the last time there was something like this and nothing happened?" -> a poo poo ton of resources and labor go into stopping the problem or mitigating the worst outcomes so the most serious predicted effects don't happen -> people like HSM say "See? I was right all along, you stupid panicking sheeple.  "?Disease outbreaks are the most common example, but Y2K is probably the most well known. (With ozone depletion/the CFC ban as a dark horse. Climate denialists love to drop "Remember when the ozone layer was going to disappear?") Theris has a new favorite as of 11:45 on Mar 5, 2020 |

OwlFancier posted:Crossposting A lot of this strongly suggests it was made by a "foreign policy blob" Democrat, (or, more likely, someone satirizing them) particularly the inclusion of brutal theocracies who happen to be staunch US allies in the "free democracies" section. Which makes it extremely surprising that Putin/Russia are on the correct side instead of being conflated with the USSR. Nazi Germany on the left isn't suprising at all, though.

Henchman of Santa posted:Yes, and MSNBC is devoted to the latter. Therefore it is extremely partisan. In a vacuum you're correct, MSNBC is hyperpartisan in favor of the centrist party. However, the chart everyone is talking about categorizes them as "hyperpartisan left," which is extremely incorrect. I mean, the chart places them right next to Jacobin, which is leftist enough that it spends a ton of page space criticizing the party that MSNBC favors.

i think of demons posted:the first three are plausible in the form of chilaquiles, maybe quiches for the last? they definitely don't have a good conception of an american fried foods type breakfast. Yeah the "Full English" is absolutely not a thing here outside of the occasional English or Irish themed pub. There's no tradition of it in the US. The standard US diner breakfast is pancakes, french toast, or waffles plus fried or scrambled eggs, one or two out of bacon, sausage, or ham, and maybe hash browns. No mushrooms, beans, or tomatoes would be anywhere near it. Theris has a new favorite as of 13:44 on Nov 8, 2020 |

Antigravitas posted:It does not have those things, but the soundscape of the ships feels sublime. The ships feel like you have an actual engine working somewhere, it's great. The only thing I actually enjoy about the game is moving the throttle on my HOTAS and feeling the response. How good a game it is depends entirely on how deeply you can get into space truckin' and repetitive combat, but it absolutely has the best sound design of any game ever and I can't think of anything else that even comes close.

Platystemon posted:Bottom left easily the least bad yet again. That's because these (the ones that get posted here, anyway) are usually made by people on the bottom left. And also because the bottom left is actually the least bad. Anyway, that one reminded me of one of my favorites:  I know it's missing the standard joke, but given some of the people deeply involved in Qanon, "Everything is pedophilia except actual pedophilia, which is fine" probably works ok.

Lutha Mahtin posted:A lot of cars are also manufactured with a "governor" device that is designed to limit the top speed of the vehicle. Sometimes this device is there because of local laws, other times it is because the manufacturer has some business reason to include it. Governors, as a discrete device, aren't really a thing anymore since almost every car has an electronic engine controller that can just be programmed with a speed limit. And they are, usually to whatever speed the tires the car comes with are rated for.

piL posted:That's interesting; what's the original contex? It's weird but not unheard of to rotate text 90 deg clockwise. If that infographic was displayed rotated 90 deg clockwise, it's fine. That doesn't fix it because Vne in IAS doesn't increase with altitude, it decreases. Edit: I think the best you can do for "one change to make that chart make sense" is swap the 10,000 and 20,000. May have just been a typo or simple oversight rather than someone not understanding how charts work. With the caveat that maybe there's something I don't understand going on with a high performance WWII fighter that makes it work opposite from a normal plane.

Timmy Age 6 posted:It's still confusing, but the best thing I can think of is that what they're really concerned with here is overspeed in a dive, and the intended audience is a bunch of 18-20 year olds coming out of high school in 1943. Yeah, that's probably why it's given as a single speed for 10,000ft segments rather than a graph with a continuous curve. I found the equivalent chart for the P-51:  Based on that, and assuming there isn't something weird about whatever plane's training that chart is from (P-61 I think?) that doesn't also apply to the P-51, I stand by my theory that the chart is intended to be read the way most people would intuitively and the 10,000 and 20,000 are simply swapped by mistake. Edit: to be clear I mean literally the text "10,000" and "20,000" are swapped, not the entire blocks they're attached to. Edit 2: OwlFancier posted:Yeah I was wondering that, normally planes go faster at high altitude cos of lower air resistance. If they don't slow down as they descend the wings fall off. Planes can - generally and up to a point, I'll get to that - fly faster at higher altitudes in terms of true airspeed thanks to the thinner air. But indicated airspeed decreases with altitude for the same true airspeed, also thanks to the thinner air decreasing the pressure of the air entering the plane's pitot tube. IAS generally decreases faster than the max TAS increases. Once you get high enough the plane's maximum *mach* becomes the limiting factor. As the speed of sound decreases with altitude, that maximum mach gets slower in terms of true airspeed. For a fast prop plane like a WWII fighter the maximum mach is the speed where the propellor tips risk breaking the sound barrier. In a dive that's going to be the limiting factor for it at pretty much any altitude, which is why the max TAS decreases with altitude on the P-51 chart.
