But there shouldn’t be an apostrophe there… it’s = it is, its = posessive.

Aaaaaaaaah! NEIN!

F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here’s the original image…

It’s possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.

I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14

EDIT: found the original image

We’re looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail…

Eww, zucky.

Yeah I could definitely see this for slo-mo and data recording in an actual laboratory setting that requires it to be as accurate as humanly possible. Idk if this is a standard though I’m not a scientist.

Wow… I’ve worked in the fast food industry for 2 years, and that really hits close to home. With the kitchen display systems and headsets, with modern technology it would be easy to implement that… very easy. We’d still need one manager on the line for de-escalating angry customers but that would end up essentially the same as the book synopsis described. And the subsequent dystopia… I could literally see this occurring tomorrow. Kinda scary.

Also works with vampires…

The “traditional” story (the one that “seems most likely” because we don’t really know) is that some kids were playing with discarded warped glass at a glassmaker’s shop and ended up with a magnifying glass or rudimentary telescope. Enter the simultaneous invention of the telescope in multiple places (very likely it wasn’t any one person in particular), Galileo starts using it for scientific stuff, now they’re making lenses on purpose. Old nearsighted lensemaker looks through it, maybe some charts or a book on the table, all of a sudden they can see well. Attach to frame. Glasses.

In heinzsight, it should’ve been obvious…

Jigga deez nuts!

Like 70% of the world, idk about them but in my case it’s the American South…

Evaporation isn’t the breakdown of 2(H2O) --> 2(H2) + O2 (hydrogen and oxygen) like electrolysis… It’s just water molecules overcoming the intermolecular force and not wanting to be liquid anymore, H2O(l) --> H2O(g), still just water and sadly no good as a fuel.

The movies get silencers very wrong… It would be a bit louder than the acorn and sound much different (or about the same volume if the vehicle is really well soundproofed). The officer should have known immediately that it wasn’t from inside the car. If it was a downtown area where stray bullets are an actual threat, I might have gotten down and scanned the area for danger, maybe radioed the possible stray bullet and assessed vehicle damage after a couple minutes. And that’s just common sense, I have no real training whatsoever. But literally any kid who’s gone squirrel hunting knows better trigger discipline than that.

Agreed. While a sniper round with a silencer or stray bullet from a streetfight hitting the hood of the car might sound similar, there’s no way it could have been any firearm from inside the vehicle. A paranoid but well-trained cop getting down behind the engine block and visually scanning the area for danger? Understandable, but a bit silly unless you’re in a dangerous downtown area. But emptying your mag into the car? You can’t have people with firearms that poorly trained and that jumpy… I say if they must have guns (which could be necessary in the case of an actual armed criminal), send them to bootcamp and have the army drill some threat assessment and trigger discipline into them…

Or maybe someone just thinks it looks good and would rather not show their bedroom to the entire conference…? And that’s a problem… Why? Because you think the inside of their bedroom is everyone’s business and they’re mentally unwell for being more comfortable with a blurred background?

Please refrain from sharing your opinions when the only contents thereof are hate towards another individual for something which helps that individual feel more comfortable while effecting absolutely no one in any way whatsoever…

Exactly. People even stream on their actual PC desktops? Just use a VM or at least a separate login, duh
