@blockpartybeats@uncrncap For being paid to kick a ball around, that's good money. You can comfortably live off part of that and invest the rest, trabsition into coaching when you can't play anyomore, and by the time you retire, you'll have a good chunk of savings.
@BlueFalcon2285@bulgarbrutalit2 It's not restraint when you pull out of a country because they're kicking your ass too hard. The US needs popular support to fight, like any other country in history, and popular support was lost, hence the US was forced to stop fighting (i.e. lost).
@Outoftweet123@defencewithac Simplest =/= only way. You can slow down for the specific portions where R.Waves are a problem, you could maintain a steady speed with no curves and the waves don't focus, or you can interrupt the waves by changing the properties of the medium
@Nba2k200000@noinconsistency Using political pressure (such as your president calling in) to overturn a decision is viewed as cheating. Even if overturning the decision was justified (it wasn't) the phone call crossed a line, since once it's done, you can't tell how much it influenced the decision.
@Outoftweet123@defencewithac Rayleigh wave focusing occurs when a train is accelerating while travelling at a speed greater than the Rayleigh speed of the ground. A decrease in train speed is the simplest way to just get around the problem.
@CardiffSpinster@Marshrail@54JohnBull@HS2ltd@networkrailWCML High speed rail isn't meaningfully more expensive to build than standard speed, especially when the majority of the cost is in land acquisition. The track is literally the same but more straight.
@54JohnBull@richardparke15 Unless you think quad-tracking the existing route, including retrofitting stations, bridges and tunnels ( and accounting for necessary service shutdowns) would somehow cost less than laying new track, I don't see how...
@munroe_cam@Delikwu Less stabbing deaths per capita than the USA. So either the NHS has figured out something the US hasn't or the UK is not nearly as dangerous as you think it is.
@MariusKothor@PaperWhispers Two world wars and Maggie Thatcher (and other neoliberal PMs) selling off what national wealth remained to the lowest bidder.
