Former military helicopter pilot.

Palm glued to face since 2016.

Edit Jul24: glue appears to be weakening - we'll see...

Edit Nov24: fuck.

@ill_Scholar Interesting theory. The organisations that govern the sport for you - FIFA and CONCACAF (both of which the USA is a member of) - disagree.

@darwintojesus If your test for design is "it looks designed to me", then how do you avoid false positives?

@PTrubey @GhettoCode Cooling in space is mechanically straightforward. Maintaining and repairing cooling systems in a crowded, debris-filled orbit is not.

Operating cooling systems in polar regions is likely simpler even if the baseline mechanical complexity is higher.

@3YearLetterman This sort of post takes a special kind of insecurity.

@MartinTweats @mahotank Equivocation. "Give" in that sentence means "cause", not "hand over".

It's a common usage with cancer: cigarettes give you cancer; asbestos gives you cancer; radiation gives you cancer.

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@StuartShrugged @VaibhavSisinty Maybe, but physics gets the final say.

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@StuartShrugged @VaibhavSisinty It's not about temperature, it's about heat transfer.

Space is absolutely wonderful for rejecting heat once you've built enormous radiators, but radiation is your only transfer mechanism.

That's a lot of mass to get up there, and a lot of material to be hit by space debris.

@blessedpeasant_ How do you know the probability distribution of possible universes? It's not very "fine" if it was the only option...

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@MartinTweats Cigarettes do not contain or emit cancer.
Asbestos does not contain or emit cancer.
Radiation does not contain or emit cancer.

And yet you've managed to conflate "gives" with "contains" or "emits" here.

@AlexHollings52 Where one extra crewmember adds multiple platforms then yeah, the automation is pretty spectacular.

@PaulKennard18 @specialopsmag There was only one kind of wind breaking then dude...

@PaulKennard18 @specialopsmag For several years those CH47s were putting cordons in for the real tip of the spear - the Puma ;)

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@specialopsmag By whom? Themselves?

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@MatthewJDalby I think you're right, and I think it's to our detriment. Personally, I love good quality food, and always enjoy going into supermarkets in Europe.

@RockChartrand The contention that political concentration is less accountable than economic concentration, in a capitalist democracy, is a brave one.

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@MartinTweats Maybe logic is a feature of reality. Maybe it's a feature of minds. Maybe it's something else entirely.

Regardless, every attempt I've made to navigate reality without it has gone rather badly.

Doesn't mean it exists though.

@ThomasG00342200 @Jenny_1884 Nobody has said anything about how late she can stay up. Where are you getting this nonsense?

[Dode Dahroug @DodeDahroug]

@Jenny_1884 He will allow *pub gardens* to stay open. He's not telling *you* what you can do at all.

The alternative is that he doesn't allow them to stay open. That's generally how licensing works.

@defencewithac History is useful. Assuming it has already answered future force structure questions is rather less so.
