  • It would help

    Jump

  • It may work ok for curling, figure skating, or cross country, but you get into anything involving a slope and it starts to get really dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Think moguls, big air, or ski jumping.

  • Interview: ‘Star Trek Voyager: Across the Universe’ Developer On Giving Players “The Weight Of Command”

    Jump

  • I’ve seen in the trailers that the

    Tuvix

    Scenario is in the game. I’m curious if the developers will have any way to generate statistics about which way players make that decision.

  • US Democrats: proud of deportations

    Jump

  • From the person who brought you “Pokemon Go to the polls”…

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • Technically more of an engineering / maker channel, but Xyla Foxlin is great. She does occasionally swear, but a 12 year old has probably heard those words before. Yeetmas, where she launches a Christmas tree rocket, would be a good place to start. (Not a Christmas tree themed rocket, a decorated pine tree on top rocket motor as long as your arm.)

  • At the Winter Olympics Europe outperforms the USA again. Yawn.

    Jump

  • Some of it is geography. The US and Europe are roughly the same area, but Europe has twice the population to draw from. In addition, for some events, each country is limited to only one or two entries, which means Europe gets to enter many teams.

  • El Paso, New Mexico airspace closed by FAA without explanation; flights restricted under national defense noticeWithout explanation, FAA closes El Paso and New Mexico airspace for 10 days

    Jump

  • Congress members got access to the unredacted Epstein files this week. I’m sure he’d love to reset the news cycle.

  • Super Bowl Fallout: ICE Says Attacks on Agents Have Jumped More Than 1,300% Nationwide

    Jump

  • I don’t really trust any statistics put out by this administration, especially from DHS or the Justice Department.

  • To demonstrate that people will argue about anything, here's a picture of a ladybug.

    Jump

  • Did you just assume that bug’s gender?

  • Trump, 79, Targets U.S. Olympic Athlete, 27, in New Feud

    Jump

  • The Daily Beast includes Trump’s age whenever his name is in a headline.

  • Using the same abbreviation scheme as "internationalization" -> "i18n", the word "to" can be abreviated as "t0o".

    Jump

  • “To” becomes “t0o,” but “too” is “t1o.”

  • Not that limit

    Jump

  • That’s a ChatGPT kind of answer. A pattern is recognized, but the meaning isn’t understood.

  • Form over function

    Jump

  • You’ll need a lucite engine block to show off your shiny new pistons.

  • How penis injections became a Winter Olympics talking point.

    Jump

  • The article is about ski jumping, not racing. This will be the first year the women are allowed to compete on the larger hill, so we’ll see, though I suspect their lower average body weight will mean they’ll carry less momentum into air.

  • Get that silicussy

    Jump

  • API call girl

  • Someone got tired of hallucinated reports

    Jump

  • this fits with my understanding of cybersecurity and why we don't mix data with directions.

    Didn’t we learn this lesson 60 years ago when phone phreakers used their blue boxes to make free phone calls?

  • Concorde cockpit in a museum

    Jump

  • For anyone who hasn’t heard this one: When the Concorde flew at supersonic speeds, the airframe got hot enough that it expanded about a foot longer than it was on the ground. This opened up a small gap between the flight engineer’s console and the rear bulkhead of the cockpit. On each plane’s final flight, the flight engineers stuffed their hats into the gap, which then closed up after cooling off.

  • Trump Suggests Gun Control Is Necessary, Sparking Online Backlash

    Jump

  • He’s right, but for all the wrong reasons.

  • NSFW

    [Minor SF:A ep3 spoiler] My guess on how the next century of warfare will go:

    Jump

  • I’m a big fan of the coach uniform. I like it better than anything we saw on Discovery or Picard, probably because it looks so similar to the TNG uniform.

  • ICE Agents Set to Have Security Role During Winter Olympics in Italy, Prompting Uproar

    Jump

  • Embassy security is provided by the Diplomatic Security Service, a separate agency that operates under the State Department, not Homeland Security.

  • Percent of Americans who depend on cars to get to work

    Jump

  • They’re not listed in the top counties list in the corner, so I suspect No Data Available became 0% when coloring in. Otherwise, maybe most people live on the ranch they work at?
