Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Someone had a word quota to fill.

Also blindfold the scientists and the cows so it’s double blind. We don’t want the cows acting in a fly-attracting way because of placebo.

Well, that’s egg on my face. Thanks for the correction.

The name of that Gauss?

Ampere

Sides must be straight and parallel two and two.

Holy fuck people. It says right in the image that it’s in meters.

So not only lemmings can’t read, a comment asking for info staring you in the face has 55 upvotes… and the wrong answer has 38.

It helps if you jump on them

CE(S)T reaches all the way to Finisterre in (Spanish) Galicia, well past Greenwich, which should be one hour behind, so basically at least 3 times zones. I blame Hitler.

Twitter is it’s own entity. Musk is not in debt, Twitter is. And if their coffers are empty they can take more debt, in Twitter’s name. I’m sure a Saudi bank would oblige as long as it’s useful. However Twitter could go bankrupt and Musk would just lose his initial investment, which was a couple of billions max. Saudis, Russians and the Peter Thiels of the world would lose their investments as well, which I’m sure they would see as a small price to pay to kill a platform so inconvenient for them as Twitter was.

Tesla? Last year all tech stocks took a dive. Tesla’s price is based on unicorns and rainbows, so it tracks the tech bubble more than real companies like Ford. Same like OpenAI and others.

This is mostly incorrect.

First he’s not overleveraged from buying Twitter. He bought it with Russian, Saudi, and 400 other investor’s money. There was aist recently published.

Second, he doesn’t need to put any personal money to pay Twitter’s fines, Twitter has its own money/debts and accounting.

Third, even if it was his own money, he would sell stock, he could borrow against it, avoiding selling it.

Fourth, even if all of the above was true (which it isn’t) for a hundred-billionaire, losing tens of millions doesn’t register. It’s like someone with a couple million bucks in the bank losing a few hundred. It’s like a nice dinner.

So don’t build in flood-prone areas.

A skyscraper made of concrete? Unpossible!

Slow clap

Maybe in proper houses they would be fixing broken windows instead of finding bodies.

“it’s not the time to discuss solutions to this” seems to be the American way of dealing with any disaster, from hurricanes to mass shootings.

Japan builds skyscrapers that resist 8+ magnitude earthquakes. They are not made of sticks.

Stone houses? Are you thinking of castles?

In Europe most houses are made of brick and/or concrete, no need for a quarry anywhere nearby.

Also, the heavier the house the better it does when it’s hot. In hot places of Europe, traditional houses had very thick walls, small windows and are painted bright colors to reflect light (and heat).

Skill issue.

Have you met the average user? Have of them are dumber than that.

You are not fucking interested. We, as Google’s customer base, want everything in video format because we are allergic to reading. If it pisses off 1% of users (which is ten of millions of people), so be it, still profit.
