Can that specific plane even go near that fast without descending? The data may not be accurate, 900 mph in level flight is tough for a jet that size. Even at altitude.

It's possible the altitude is no longer accurate at the point on the speed graph that looks like a stall. But it's also possible the speed graph is no longer accurate at some point. If they are both accurate, the data doesn't make sense. It's most likely that at the point of the stall where it hit 33k feet, since the altimeter never changes again despite the wild fluctuations in speed after, it stopped accurately being read.

Maybe some electronics gave out at that point.

He knows he broke the law... he doesn't know he did something wrong...

Use your imagination.

Mainly because that is the idea with a joke of that style, filling in the gap yourself is generally much funnier than if they said something.

We use honeycomb blinds here. You can get them in partially transparent or blackout. They are spring-loaded, and you really can't use them wrong, pull them up or down as fast or as crooked as you want.

Steam makes millions of dollars for Valve. They can afford to put a lot of work into making it impossible for anyone to ever catch up to them. If you will never use anything else until it has feature parity with steam as well as having other upsides compared to it, you are never going to benefit from the other upsides.

What aspect of GoG did you find sucked?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 5 days ago

Yeah, like when you buy a physical copy of a gane, it's up to you to make sure you keep that copy somewhere you can find it again, assuming it hasn't started decomposing.

It'd be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn't that other people "chose" to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn't have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.

Hehe yeah, it of course didn't feel great at the time. But at the time it was a bit of a surprise that I didn't sound like a normal human on the phone. I never did feel comfortable on the phone and would avoid it when possible. But I didn't know it sucked for the other person too, lol. I have since gotten better, but still don't like it on my end. But yeah, for other neuro divergents, we can talk for hours.

Given my previous experiences with social interactions, it is 100% an e-mail I expect to get and send at some point.

One time, when I called the bank to do something with my account, about 5 minutes in my mom's phone rings, she told me they called her to verify that I was interacting with them. We lived in a small town at the time. The bank couldn't tell for sure if I was really me or someone that just knew a lot about me but was just reading the answers off a list or something.

But I suppose I'd rather them err on the side of caution ultimately.

I'm sorry you are not familiar enough with one to know this. You know the difference between men and women? There basically isn't one. We are 99.9% similar.

You are thinking of laser light shows. Laser projectors function the same as any other projector but have laser light as the light source. Laser light shows deflect a single point of laser light with fast moving mirrors.
