Step 1: don’t slop

That can be an early sign, you should get that checked out.

Top performing sprinters accelerate faster that 1g, so slightly increasing the gravity would probably make them faster on very short distances.
For long distances it would probably be some low gravity jumping limited by the relative speed between foot and torso that you can create before touching the ground and decelerate before overextending the leg.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand xkcd. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also blackhats nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from early internet forums, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE.

But the sword is a symbol of power and prestige. This isn’t just about overcoming the vacuum cleaner, but becoming a living legend.

150km/h is high speed? The Japanese will laugh you out of the room. And the prototype is designed for just 70km/h.

They will shake apart if proper trains run over them.

I think it’s because of Lazy evaluation. It’s essential to Haskell, but hard to graft onto another platform while having good performance.

If you want correct units, use J.

I see them as basically ring doorbell cameras on wheels (though wonder if I should instead consider them like flock cameras on wheels).

Considering flock and ring worked together before and sell the same product, just to different customers, I wouldn’t bother differentiating.

I assumed the rect is a method on something like a graphics context or physics engine, but yeah.

With newtypes you can also emulate named args with a single struct. This also allows them to be passed on together.

struct RectArgs{
    x:i32,
    y:32,
    w:32,
    h:32,
}
impl Default for RectArgs{...}

Then the call site looks like this:

rect(RectArgs{
    x:0,
    y:0,
    w:30,
    h:20,
}
// with default arguments
rect(RectArgs{
    w:30,
    h:20,
    .. RectArgs::default ()
}

There is value in having a good transit connection to nature parks and other “low value” recreation areas, but this isn’t it.
Of course in such a so low density area, it shouldn’t be underground.

Make shure you do administrative stuff well ahead of deadlines, then double and triple check you actually did it.

I think the main advantage of air launch is there is less air in the way.
If you didn’t have any air resistance you could go faster earlier and reach orbit faster. This means less fuel wasted on fighting gravity, but because we have an atmosphere, there is a speed limit.

I still don’t understand why the paycheck loans could be forgiven but not student loans

Let me try to steel man it:
You can reposes physical assets, but not the knowledge that it supposedly worth tens of thousands.
If I was possible everyone would default the day after they leave collage.

The first one is stupid because you can’t reposes an eaten meal and burned petrol.
On the second isn’t realistic either, because not every American defaults after a medical emergency either, because they want to be credit worthy later on.

It was probably safer because there where less cars driving.

Pilots are randomly drug tested.
It is a stressful job and drug use is such a common problem, that the FAA has a rehab program for pilots.

In a random day the former is true and the later is false. I wouldn’t give a free sandwich to a lying customer either.
