This would have happened under any other president.

Mass surveillance does not work. It does not prevent terrorist attacks under any president.

Yes.

I’m anti bike lane. Roads should be for bikes and pedestrians. Cars should get their own single separated lane on the occasional road.

Bike lanes are car infrastructure. They are not needed unless you consider the entire street to be for cars by default.

Also dave is an idiot. Maximum capacity would be a cycle and transit only street because those have the highest throughput per lane. Cars are incredibly space inefficient.

There hasn’t been a single one of elon’s companies that delivered on promised prices.

Falcon 9 is more expensive than promised. His tunnels weren’t cheaper. His cars are more expensive than promised. Cybertruck is over $100k when he promised under $40k at the launch.

Focus on what his companies can deliver. That is real. His fantasy rockets that would be superior in all ways do not exist.

It is a scar. it reads more clearly in other pictures

The one good thing from oceangate was the fact that the CEO trusted his own life to his invention. He was in the sub when it imploded.

As stupid as he is, musk is unfortunately smart enough to know not to risk his own life in his own rockets.

I was discussing real world sounds in open air. Yes, destructive interference is something you have to account for when dealing with sound systems. A speaker playing the same sound in the inverse phase will cause issues, but a group of people, as was the topic, will never be anywhere close that precise.

If the concern is safety, as it is in this example, the concern is the worst case. And the worse possible case is when all the sounds interfere constructively.

It’s not really a counterargument when I specifically said my logic of ignoring destructive interference doesn’t apply in “situations designed to cause it” like two synchronized sinusoids. Most people are not synchronized sinusoids.

Sorry for the very tangent.

That speech frequency graph is a good visual of why for trans voice training, resonance is more important than pitch. The pitch is nearly the same, the difference is in which overtones are projected.

Where did you find it? I would like to read more about the methodology.

Sound is complicated. Its both physics and perception.

The decibel scale is logarithmic. If you double the energy you increase the dB level by 3. Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.

Some people in this thread are talking about destructive interference. That really only happens in noise canceling headphones, or situations designed to cause it. In open air, its not really an issue that comes up. I’ve never become quieter by playing an instrument with someone else. It just doesn’t work like that.

What lets the monster hear you is the peak volume, not the minimum or average, so it will be close to the 3 dB doubling rule.

There’s also perception. Your brain does a ton of filtering of sound information. Your brain is constantly trying to pick out the important sounds and ignore the rest. That’s why the quieter severs seem quieter when something louder happens. Also that’s why some people use white noise machines to sleep.

starship’s payload to orbit is zero. No matter what is promised, a rocket that can only deliver payloads destructively to the bottom of the indian ocean is not a valuable launch vehicle. There are far more cost effective ways of making artificial reefs.

If you’ve followed elon musk’s projects you would know that the only thing he knows how to do is over-promise and under-deliver. It would be incredible if the things he’s promised happened, but none of them ever do. This starship will not be the exception.

The space shuttle was also big and reusable. It did not have issues like these during development.

Apollo 9 Apollo 8 went to the moon but they had multiple test flights prior to that numbering. Those are a more reasonable point of comparison.

Edit: I misremembered the number.

spacex is also not starting from zero. They previously made the falcon 9.

No they can’t. This is what’s happened every time trump tried to cut state funding. Courts don’t let the feds overstep their powers over states by threatening funding. Courts have ruled very consistently on this.

Just for comparison, on their 9th test flight the Apollo program they had already successfully reached orbit 5 times.

The 9th test flight of the Soyuz was their 7th time reaching orbit.

Elon’s 9th attempt is his second time reaching the bottom of the Indian ocean. Shows the level of proficiency in spacex.

Yes, probably. Its likely enough that the article ends with:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta said last week they’ll sue once he does.

competent AGs rarely file cases they don’t believe they can win.

According to the 10th amendment, the federal government can only regulate in areas specifically designated by the constitution. The feds can regulate interstate commerce, but not intrastate commerce. Though at times, courts have interpreted interstate very broadly.

Federal statutes gave california a waver to set their own emissions regulations. This law would remove those so it would be up to a court to decide if the feds have that authority.

according to the supreme court standing is no longer required

Yet despite the cancer’s apparent aggressiveness, its hormone-sensitive nature offers a viable treatment pathway, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Prepare yourself for femboy biden!

yes, but for most of those men it’s a cancer they die with, rather than one they die from.

Its not hard to learn but it does take time to become confortable with it. I recommend renting a car. Driving manual car for the first time with the added stress of driving in a different county is a recipe for disaster. By all means try it. Take up the offer of that lesson, but its unwise to have to rely on a manual car for transport when you’ve never driven one before.

But also make sure you actually need a car. The US is built with fully car dependent infrastructure, so americans are taught their whole lives to just assume they always need a car. That isn’t the case everywhere, and might not be where you’re going. Be sure to check.
