Another example (strikingly similar to stuff I've encountered in Jewish culture):https://t.co/AFJNsSuLFi

Khakpour is a female incel! She very much matches the male incel culture. At least she’s not out killing people, I guess. She sounds just as bitter and entitled as male incels. It’s no prettier either when a woman behaves that way.
Did any of the people clinging to C-17 transports make it, or did they all fall to their death?
They all died. The cruising speed of a C-17 is 450 knots. It’d generally cruise around 28,000 feet, though with the load of people on board not being nearly max cargo capacity it could’ve flown lower — but in that area, it would not have done so to avoid the very real threat of surface-to-air missiles. No one could hold on to an aircraft at -40ยฐ moving at 450 knots at 28,000 feet. No one.
That said, the C-17 has quadruple-redundant flight electronics with mechanical backup….while the 737 Max has some vital but non-redundant systems with no backup. Yeah, figure that out.
Can we please have a real conversation about how there aren't allowed to be bad things, bad characters, bad feelings lately and how fluffy conflict-less stories are the only allowable fiction
Writing a villain or discussing negative things isn't condoning them, how do I say this https://t.co/EixMt4O2CZ

This is so odd to me, this liberal turn to believing nothing in fiction should ever be negative.
I am old enough to remember when it was the conservatives who were unable to separate reality and fiction. What a turn.
Asking nicely for root command execution (and getting it).
This is true on Windows too. I find holes like this all the time, and sometimes I use those vulnerabilities to do my job when people attempt to prevent me from doing it.
How many passengers can a C-17 carry? Lots of numbers being banded around yesterday so here's a thread 👇 pic.twitter.com/ebn4J78PKg

This is the only accurate thread I’ve seen about the C-17. This person knows what he’s talking about.
The C-17 is a great aircraft. Absolutely enormous on the inside and unlike the C-141 and the C-5, can land on unimproved (read: dirt) airstrips. I was one of the first few hundred people to jump out of one when it was still being tested for airborne/paratrooper operations. (They throw weighted dummies out first to make sure nothing really bad happens. We joked we were the “cheaper dummies.”)
In 1997, I jumped out of a C-17 into Kazakhstan after flying 9,000 miles or so. Though it’s a great plane, never was I so glad to be tossing myself out of one. Those military seats are not comfortable in the least.
SQL is basically just extortion to hire a DBA

As a part-time DBA at three different jobs (because there is no one else), yes, this is so damn true.
I do not like being a DBA. But as I said, there is no one else.
I too perform DNA testing on all cooks to make sure theyโre limiting themselves to racially appropriate recipes https://t.co/eWXf0Sjgfb

The re-segregationist tendencies of the modern left is completely baffling to me. I refuse to eat only unspiced meat to hew to my supposed racial heritage, no matter what lib has a meltdown about cultural appropriation.
Little correlation between deadlift ability and being able to survive in the wild.
I'd rather be light, agile, fast, and be able to do chin-ups.
— GuruAnaerobic (@GuruAnaerobic) August 17, 2021
This is mostly true, who gives a crap?
Deadlifting is fun and I like doing it. And it does correlate with me being able to load a moving truck, etc. I’m not living in the goddamn wild and never will. Also I can do a lot of chin-ups.
I have no empathy for the unvaccinated by choice. None at all. You made a decision that hurt you and made all the rest of us suffer too. It’s on you; reap what you sow and all that. If you die I won’t cheer it on, but so fucking be it. You should be last in line at the hospital, right behind people with stubbed toes and hangnails.
Fuck you.
Watching people spin out Zero Covid “what if” fantasies is tedious and boring. It’s just the most useless thing. There was never even a ghost of a chance of India and other poorer places locking down long enough to halt community spread. They simply could not. And anyway, humans are not the only host for SARS-Cov-2, so lockdown would always by “mysteriously” breached in most places.
The best we could’ve done — while harming billions — would be slowing the spread a little. That’s the very best. Instead, we got Zero Covid fantasists complaining about people not locking down hard enough, long enough, instead of concentrating on real mitigations like better ventilation, contact tracing, getting vaccination and vaccination mandates done, etc.
Of course, the Zero Covid fantasy also leads to to recurring (and probably perpetually-recurring) lockdowns and prison countries. But I think the lockdown lifers see all of this as a feature rather than a bug. For many of them, this has come to be about more than just preventing Covid. It’s a new religion and the god of pointless sacrifice must be worshipped.
'Degrowth' and a massive switch to renewables/nuclear could both save the climate.
But it seems wildly easier to get society to spend 5% of GDP for a while switching over its energy infrastructure, than it would be to reach an agreement to more than halve our incomes.

The latter will never happen. Never. So the former is the choice. This isn’t even a false choice because there aren’t two choices.
It’s the first choice or nothing.
Covid is going to be the excuse and the impetus to destroy much that was good and necessary. It is sad to see how many liberals are just rolling on along with that, right in the pocket of hedge funds, billionaires, and other scurrilous scumbags.
Study on 1.5 million Swedish men finds outstanding correlation between physical fitness at 18 years of age and severity of Covid-19 infection later in life. High muscle strength was associated with less severity in viral infection. https://t.co/WhDk1uBDr7

That is completely not surprising to me. Being fit and strong protects you from so many things. Conversely, being fat and unhealthy (which almost always go together, contra FA nutty buddies) makes you fragile and weak.
The math here is not straightforward, but that’s what, nearly 0.1ยฐC warming per each nuke plant that was never built?
Dang.
