I wish the US would just stop supporting Israel as much as they do.

But it is useless wishful thinking, because supposedly the Israel lobby is the strongest lobby in the US.

Here is a documentary from 2007 which talks about this:

Kinda jives with the institutional theme of this article...

No? :(

I realise you were speaking with disdain (which I agree with), but to give a serious answer to the question, there's a Computerphile video that explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

One word: parachutes. They should take the edge off from lethal to just wounding, depending on the size of the parachute.

I would expect the same as well, but these could also employ safety gadgets such as parachutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It really is super double twisty speak to claim showing acts of violence being committed somehow incites violence, kind of fucking late you know, violence is already being committed. Reality is, showing those acts of violence being committed is putting enormous pressure on, to stop committing those acts of violence. So, question, is it an act of violence for a occupying force to drive around telling families they are going to gas them to death or not, https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (rather ironic considering the source). Honestly it looks like many of the acts of violence committed by the Government controlling that region, are being done purposefully to incite violence in return, so that an excuse can be fabricated to carry genocidal policies, without ramifications from the rest of the world.

Mandatory Palestine. What became Isreal. When the jews acted just like the arabs of today. No hands over there are clean, it's just Isreal is pretending they are the sole victim instead of just aggressor #854 in that cursed plot of dirt.

A fictional video blaming Canadian Palestinians for violence towards Jewish Canadians...none of these events happened in Canada and I personally think it is in bad taste. Especially when they use it on their website: http://www.cija.ca/takeactioni... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

A fictional video blaming Palestinians in Canada for violent attacks against Jewish people in Canada. Isn't this to incite hatred towards Canadians Palestinians?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Here's the website that it is from: http://www.cija.ca/takeactioni... I don't agree with either side when it comes to violence.

Aerodynamically, a bit worse than this I think.

You won't hear these at all. The noise is mostly high frequency and attenuates quickly. At altitude (400 ft/120 meters, apparently) you can't hear a small multicopter like the one in Amazon's little trial balloon video.

However, the urge to embiggen these for heavier payloads and longer range is easy to anticipate. At some point they will become audible. Higher altitude could counter that.

They're going to need a recovery system. Some fraction of all flights will end in a crash and they'll have to notify authorities, recover the wreckage, deal with damage, etc. LiPo batteries can become electric bombs when damaged.

Should be fun.

What inspired engineers before space?

Science fiction for some of it. The rest was patriotism and the existence of the Cold War with Russia fueling a need for better tech than the Russians had, so that we could kill them before they killed us.

I've a sneaky suspicion that you'll really enjoy it. It's one of my favorite documentaries on the subject and quite educational. I've actually watched it a few times now but, as I've stated previously, my documentary consumption is entertainment oriented and not scholarly in nature so there's still more to glean from it should I watch it again.

In fact, I might. Meh, I'll leave it as a mystery as to who this is. ;-) I'll log in later and see if you took the time to watch it or whatnot. It's quite educational. It's a bit dry in places but worth it. I like the presenter's style (or lack of it). It's accessible to those of us who are not nuclear engineers.

FTFY. Which one makes most sense? Both the Ursidae and the newest, stripped-down model have plusses and minuses, but to make either one actually useful takes some additional hard wear; at their low prices, it's not surprising that neither one comes with so much as a by-your-leave.

This is a good interview, 197x

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Last week I was at a post production studio in Mumbai. The editor was working on an Indian Hindi TV series - MAIN KUCH BHI KAR SAKTHI HOON (I Can Do Anything.) https://www.youtube.com/user/mkbksh
The show is set in rural India, follows the usual Hindi or Indian cinema/television melodramatic hyperventilating style. Here is the beef...rather than inane plots on good versus evil, bad mother in laws and familiar Indian TV soap tropes, this show had female protagonists who were bucking the system and bringing out change in the society.
The familiar style they used made sure a majority of the audience will feel comfortable.
Gates Foundation was one of the Producers. This is thinking out of the box...you need a bit of 'good old propaganda' to support you when you go to rural communities to change their perception on unhealthy practices.

I think I just lost my faith in you.

That would be sound advice if he had an actual lawyer who knew that his ownership of a lockpick wasn't illegal. Instead, he only had an overburdened public defender who didn't know better. I wouldn't blame fightermagethief if he didn't break the law.

LOL riiiight, I'm sure they are just lining up when the reviews all say the same thing which is Steam machines are completely pointless as they give you NONE of the benefits of a console and NONE of the benefits of a Windows gaming PC. You are paying MORE money for WORSE hardware and without the entire point of consoles, the ease of use and exclusive titles. I can find review after review and they all say the same things, glitchy controller, bad UI, buggy as a pile of shit in August, its a completely pointless product that will only appeal to the Linux faithful...who won't want to have a fucking thing to do with Steam DRM ROFL!

So sorry to burst your bubble but feel free to bookmark this post and come back in 24 months and see its truth, SteamOS will do about as much to spur Linux adoption as Ubuntu has, that is jack and squat. I mean for Pete's sake you no longer even have the "free as in beer" selling point as anybody can download the Windows 10 Insider release and use it for free.

And looking at its direction in the past couple of years, it seems that it's falling back into its old ways (or rather an incoherent mix of old and even older, from Soviet and Imperial times both), which makes me question just where the problem has really been all this time.

I don't think you understand what you are talking about. Do you know what precisely is a totalitarian state? It's a state which concerns itself with things which normally are a matter of a person's free will.

You can see a good illustration of a totalitarian state in movie "Stilyagi", the modern movie set in the Soviet Union: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
