A 12.5m crater doesn’t sound that big. Sounds like what you get from a bomb in a war zone. Bad if you happen to be right next to it, but If you’re a few blocks away you might have shattered windows, but no structural damage.
Where did you get the numbers btw? I took a quick look and couldn’t find any details on how big the asteroid was.
It says something that at the convention for Canada’s National Democratic Party, being held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the Premier of Manitoba is having to talk about the latest war the USA is waging.
Canadians don’t get a vote on who becomes president, but everything the US does affects Canadians. When domestic politics is calm and stable, even during a national conference about Canada’s political situation, the focus inevitably turns to the chaos south of the border.
Airships are impractical, but I’d still like to fly in one.
Probably part of the reason they seem so luxurious is that they stopped flying them at the peak of their luxury. Meanwhile, planes started fairly luxurious but they’ve become more and more unpleasant for the passengers as time went on.
Still, even a business jet seems cramped and loud compared to what people had on ships like the Hindenburg. The amount of space inside makes it seem a lot more like a cruise ship than a plane.
If we have to have billionaires, couldn’t we at least get one eccentric one who has a cool personal airship instead of the penis rockets?
225m for a hit where there’s no atmosphere to slow it down. I wonder if something that would cause a that size of crater on the moon would even make it to the Earth’s surface, or if it would burn up before it hit.
It wasn’t the French assisting the Americans against the British. It was the French assisting a rebellion started by some British colonists against the British government. In other words, they didn’t really care about why the rebels were rebelling, they didn’t even consider them to really be anything other than British, but they were willing to fight the British government, and that was good enough for France.
So, apparently there’s a term that’s used in the defence industry for advanced, extremely capable, very expensive weapons: “exquisite weapons”. This sounds like something out of a fantasy RPG, but it’s actually the term they use in the industry to talk about these things, the Tomahawk being one of them.
So, while Iran is hitting various sites around the middle east with machines that cost about the same as a small car and are built in a basic factory, the US is spending 100x as much, building missiles in special high-tech factories using clean rooms and high end robots. Not only that, but the weapons the US is using to intercept Iran’s drones cost about 100x as much as the drones they’re shooting down.
at the cost of dirtying loads more little bowls
Little bowls are very easy to clean, especially if they just have something like chopped veggies in them.
If you dice your carrots while your onions are sweating, you don’t have time to throw the onion skins etc. in the garbage, or to put any unused onion in the fridge, etc. So, the mess just keeps expanding with each ingredient. And, the worst part is that as soon as you’re done, you want to serve the meal while it’s hot, so all the mess stays out on the counter until after dinner.
If you’re doing everything in one pot, that doesn’t matter too much because you only have one difficult thing to clean, the pot. But, if you’re making a meal with multiple pots and pans, and they’re all sitting dirty while you’re eating, it’s much more of a pain to clean them up after dinner. If you prep everything in advance, you might have a chance to give the pasta pot a rinse while the stuff in the frying pan needs a couple more minutes.
The bernaise sauce in particular wants to be served when it’s freshly made and hot
Who cares what it wants. You’re the chef, you take charge.
To a certain extent it depends on the recipe, but it also depends on how you approach things.
The best way to do most recipes is “mise en place”. Preparing everything and putting everything in its place and ready before any heat is turned on. That approach gives you the most down time to clean up while something is frying, or while water is boiling, or whatever. It also reduces the stress of the cooking because everything is ready to go. The down side is that it takes longer from start to finish, but it’s quicker to get finished once you turn on the heat. That’s why it’s used in restaurants. They spend a lot of the day chopping and getting sauces ready, and then when the guests arrive it’s much quicker to turn on the heat and actually do the cooking.
When I’m in a rush, I’ve done things like: start the rice (and literally put it on the back burner), then start chopping onions, throw the onions in the pan and start chopping carrots, toss them in, etc. If you know a recipe well you might know that you can chop a couple of carrots up in 2 minutes, and that’s how long you want the onions in before you add the carrots. It’s a streamlined way to cook fast, but it leaves a huge mess. It also tends to require more space because you don’t have time to put things away between steps.
I remember that post, and that only makes it stranger. What is the BBC doing that requires that many monitors?
No, his mother was American so he has American citizenship that way.
And he was a Canadian citizen for most of his life. He only renounced his Canadian citizenship once he started planning to run for US president.
And Christian. It would be less unusual if he were a jewish man advocating for Israel.
You’d never live long enough to grow your $1b into enough to worry someone like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.
I just want it to fail sooner rather than later. And, I wish I could make some money betting that it would fall, because that would be so satisfying. But, it could be years before the bubble finally bursts.
Europe is the only place that does care about international law.
“Black Lives Matter” is a movement that has traction because right now black people are being killed by cops. “All Lives Matter” is insensitive because it’s ignoring the urgent problem that’s affecting black people now. The trans-Atlantic slave trade ended centuries ago. There’s no urgency to address something that has been over for that long.
You might see what they’re doing as being pedantic, but I think you can acknowledge that the enslavement of Africans was a terrible crime against humanity without requiring a competition to see which atrocity gets the #1 spot. There’s nothing about what the EU said that comes close to saying they don’t want to take responsibility for what their ancestors did (although having said that, it’s ridiculous to ask that someone ever take responsibility for something their ancestors did).
You can “whattabout” this all you want, but that doesn’t mean that the declaration was a good one. It was a shitty one and shouldn’t have been put forward at all.
Because, while I agree that it’s bad to rank various crimes against humanity, I don’t like how Israel tries to weaponize the holocaust as a shield against any kind of criticism.
And non-thinkers will accept propaganda headlines and never employ any critical thinking.
“Dismiss” is the wrong word to use in that title. Yes, it can mean “fire”, but it can also mean “ignore”. It seems like this is a case where you want to be clear which interpretation you mean.
