Zelensky urges West to let Ukraine hit Russia with long-range weapons in c/world

I've thought that since Russia first invaded. Really feels like the US is just trying to bleed Russia for as long as possible.

Whatever book I'm currently reading.

I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I spent so many years, as kid, day-dreaming out the car window that I was riding my bike and keeping up with everyone. I still get that rush every so often after a couple decades of mostly commuting on my bike. Get on that CBT and get riding! It's great fun, and great for many other reasons as well.

Rule of International Day of the Whale Sharks in c/[email protected]

I wish to swim with them one day. But at the same time, I know I'd be pretty scared. I know they wouldn't eat me, but encountering big stuff in the ocean usually freaks me out.

Japan: Nearly 4,000 people found more than month after dying alone, report says in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they died after being in pain for days after a fall, that's pretty concerning. If they just died of old age, then I don't see the issue, aside from the general health issues that thrive off dead meat hanging around.

Doublethink is the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time, a result of political indoctrination by the Party. - source, as if needed

On one hand, I think 1984 would be pretty fun to teach now. On the other, I remember dealing with dipshit parents before I retired, so probably not.

‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee in c/workreform

I so love the idea of giving billionaires a plaque when they hit one billion, then take away 95% of their wealth and having them start again. A forced prestige system.

Wow. That is pretty fucked up.

Any good Telegram alternative? in c/[email protected]

I just have some syncthing shared folders with friends/family. It may be a little weird to set up, but once there, it's seamless.

Texas must build hundreds of thousands of homes to lower housing costs, says state comptroller in c/economy
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

A report from a couple of years ago said Texas had about a million empty homes. Seems more of a tax-the-rich problem than a not-enough-homes problem.

Aren't they elected? Voters are so freaking stupid.

Scores dead in Israel and Gaza after Hamas shock attack on Israeli towns (www.reuters.com)

This seems far more serious than the typical lobbing explosives at each other in which Hamas and Israel habitually partake.

Effect of a gravity assist on person, or whatever, in spaceship (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/asklemmy
21 comments fedilink
 

OK, this is dumb, but it's gone through my head a couple times. I've seen a few science fiction movies and shows where the people in the spaceship use a gravity assist and lean into the turns like they're driving NASCAR or riding a roller coaster.

I think they wouldn't feel the acceleration (vector change) because gravity is doing the acceleration on every molecule and there would be nothing to lean against. I'm often wrong though. Someone smarter than I am have some insight?

EDIT: For what it's worth, I guess I shouldn't have used the Expanse clip as it upset some people. I just used it for an example of what I was asking. The question is this: Under little or no thrusters, would you feel a gravity assist? Even a radical one that changes your direction 90 degrees and greatly increases your velocity?

Have to give respect for Charlo coming up 14 pounds. The real ones are wiling to take those chances. Canelo is a brick.

I would love to see Ferguson take the win. It would be hilarious to me.

If anyone else freaked out about the jets doing low flyby's today. It's that time again.

Ngannou is a beast, but if this open workout is any indicator, he's going to get easily pieced up by Fury.

Israel Adesanya pleads guilty, drove drunk 3 weeks before UFC title loss to Strickland (bloodyelbow.com)
 

Maybe Izzy didn't have the best camp. The Red Tomato and others have said Izzy looked off in his fight, maybe they were on to something. I still think Strickland just figured the puzzle out though.

WTF (sopuli.xyz)
 

Well, almost zero activity on this sub. Still a nice break from the shithole that is the reddit amcstock sub. It's really something looking at this stock and realizing that the tens of thousands I spent over the past year could be bought with a few thousand dollars now. Disheartened and disgusted. No reason to sell because I've lost so much already. Fucking hell.

Oingo Boingo - Grey Matter - 4/25/1987 - Ritz (www.youtube.com)
 

I was lucky enough to see Boingo live a few times. Danny killing Coachella a couple years ago absolutely blew me away. I didn't see it live, didn't even know he was performing, but I saw the video of that performance and it blew me away.

That has little to do with this video. I can't say I have a favorite Boingo song, but Grey Matter will always be in the discussion.

AMC freedom (sopuli.xyz)
 

I haven't been on the other site even once since bailing when the API shit started happening. I just went to the old amcstock sub and have to say I don't miss it. Still filled with "trust me bro" posts, a scattering of "MOASS is imminent" posts. No real information, just hype, like a warm up act. I only check the stock about twice a week these days. The only thing that has stayed with me from those old frantic days is "Zero or MOASS" I'm not going anywhere.

I have to admit, I don't know any of these fighters, aside from the main event. Usually that makes for a very entertaining card.

Just a heads up to anyone heading to HB this week, but especially this weekend. If you love crowds, head on down. Otherwise, just thought you should know.
