The wind is not even the worst part of a hurricane, the rain and raised water level can be way more damaging than the wind alone.

I’m sure your country will be happy to welcome the people from these islands. Right ?

It’s not like people living there really have a choice.

I’m in the same boat but with semi professional needs.

I have not found any alternative yet to Onshape that works on linux.

I’m trying FreeCAD and derivatives from time to time but it really feels like a serious step backwards.

Air fryer is also great to make a quick garlic bread.

USSR, not Russia.

I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.

So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it’s a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.

I’m sorry but 1 star out of 5 on the European NCAP is terrible ! This car is a death trap !

I would never set a foot in a Chinese …

Oh wait ! I was looking at the Jeep wrangler, never mind.

The BYD has a 5 star rating as well as an the other chinese cars I checked.

Energy is only a fraction of the issue and easily solvable, I’m not a 100% certain but I think that some mines are even powered with renewables energy.

The main issue is tailings, millions of cubic meters of toxic, sometime radioactive, full of heavy metals mud. The tailings are piled up behind dams that regularly breaks and contaminate entire regions.

Even of the dams don’t break it is still hundred of square kilometers of land that is contaminated for millennia.

Thanks, I’m glad to see I’m not only one.

There is absolutely no green way to extract all the material needed to build a datacenter.

There is plenty of green ways to raise cattle, however with these ways you can’t feed everyone beef at almost every meals.

You have a car that can be found at 10k£ new ?

I can guarantee if the story is true or not but my father talked regularly about a neighbor that he knew when he was a kid.

The neighbor was a ballet dancer above 2m tall and was driving an old school mini.

To be able to fit in it he removed the front seat and was driving sitting in the back seat.

I think he’s talking about a shop like that, where you bring your own container to fill them.

More precisely, when you sell the tenant has the right to buy it first.

If the landlord is thinking of accepting an external offer under the initial price then he has to ask again to the tenant if he would buy it at this lower price.

At least 4-7 times a week. I have not read anything about an upper limit so go for it.

Ejaculation lower the risk of prostate cancer, so masturbation should probably be medically advised to all men.

4-7 times a week is a good number according this study

A picture off the interior

My parents had one when I was a kid, the second version was not to ugly and the interior was crazy comfortable for a family car.

It had 3 full front seat and 3 full seat in the back too.

They are expecting a very active hurricane season this year, they might manage to lose a ship or two

Destructive testing has always been part of every engineering development projects.

When developing new parts it’s common to make a lot of test parts and stress them to failure to see how they react.

For innovative design it can take several iterations before finding the right material/design. Each destructive testing is bringing valuable information.

Knowing exactly how a part will fail gives extremely valuable information on how to build a part that will NOT fail and everyone does that including NASA.

SpaceX has just brought this philosophy to whole different level by doing destructive testing on the whole rocket. The best example is that on the last flight they purposefully removed heatshields on some area of the Starship and added sensors in the area to see how it would impact the ship.

The can afford to do that because they focused on building a rocket factory to mass produce starships rather than building a rocket. It means that even if they were not launching it the factory would still produce Starships.

PS: SLS is not 10x the cost of Starship. According to an independent report ( source ) Right now the estimated cost of a Starship launch is estimated around $90 million, one the program is operational the cost of a Starship launch is estimated to be around $10 millions.

A SLS launch is estimated to be around $4.1 billion

So a Starship launch is 40 to 400 time cheaper than a SLS launch
