Similarly, the Japanese Type 91 aerial torpedo was sometimes equipped with wooden aerodynamic stabilizers (which broke off when they hit the water.)

Tornadoes have been known to embed bits of straw or dried grass into trees. And tornado speeds are a gentle walk in the park compared to orbital speeds.

Because it isn't. It's distinct from chattel slavery , which is not the only form of slavery. Bonded labor is the most common form of slavery today, and is also not chattel slavery…

Run tell dang. Maybe he'll wake up and do something about the blatant CCP shills (I doubt it) after giving me a scolding for telling him (and you) to fuck off.

Forced labor is slavery, full stop. This was recognized by the men who wrote the 13th amendment. It is not "definitely different". And no, paying a slave does not make it 'not slav…

Surely he was taking the piss. Not even a journalist could be that stupid.

> This also seems to describe prison labor that occurs in the US, which [...] is definitely different from slavery Did you sleep though civics class? Go read the thirteenth amendme…

Oh fuck off. A quick web search reveals that Auschwitz.org refers to slave labor as slave labor in numerous places. > On July 4, 1942 at the latest, regular selection was introduce…

Well, friction brakes are cooled by the airflow in the wheel wells. Perhaps you could aircool the resistors in the same place. The friction brakes would probably still be there tho…

If a Tesla would use rheostatic braking, I think it would require more cooling capacity than the cars are currently designed for. If the resistor couldn't be kept cool, then the ca…

Aka rheostatic braking. Trains do this, but they have pretty large radiators for it.

I don't give a damn about his reputation. The point of the legal system is to protect the innocent, not ruin the reputations of the guilty. He continues to use the legal system to …

Because he's in prison for lying to the court in a copyright lawsuit. He should no longer have the right to sue anybody for copyright infringement.

pmiller2's intent was clear, he was obviously commenting on limitations of camera technology, not suggesting that black people intent nor choose(?!?) to be hard to photograph. dsti…

His rights regarding copyright should be taken from him. This is no different from a convicted murderer no longer having the right to own a gun. Allowing this man to continue to su…

The question is inane, anybody who doesn't earnestly value the life of a human more than the life of a dog is morally bankrupt. And frankly, I think most who claim otherwise earnes…

You're not alone. To be frank, I think much of the apparent love showered on pets by some people is performative. In public, people compete to show off how great they are at pamper…

The answer is yes.

Save the kitten then bask in the notoriety. When asked why you did it, claim the painting was disappointingly small and very over rated.

Prison should prevent a criminal from continuing to victimize the general public. When that fails, restrictions on the prisoner should be increased until it does. In this man's cas…

Children are ethically immature? Who could have guessed?!?

I think he's right, games overdo it. I look at high resolution photographs of battlefields today and everything is covered in dust. Floors? Dust. Walls? Dust. Soldiers? Dust. Corps…

I think the closest land analogue to orcas is probably wolves, since they also live in packs, which I assume means older/weaker wolves/orcas use their social connections to other p…

Aren't pretty much all warm blooded large land predators known to eat humans on occasion? Bears, tigers, wolves, etc. Perhaps that happens because the opportunity arises more often…

From what I understand, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it federally illegal in all of America to do nearly anything with even roadkilled birds.
