Airplane engines have deceptively high thrust, imagine each one as a rocket and it’ll start to make sense. The a380 (the big double decker) each engine produces around 350KN. When that thrust is applied to an 80kg human they’ll experience almost 450Gs of force

In an extreme sense, imagine putting a little rocket engine on a paper airplane which will represent a high thrust to weight ratio

Prew-nawns!!

The housing part is so real, if it wasn’t as big an issue I think we’d see half the strikes we do now

I think Africa is a rough biospehere to live in so everything’s gotta be super tough, the Amazon is like that too

I thought Ubuntu touch wasn’t supported on pixel 3?

Thank you!

Alright I’ll give it a try, can you recommend a VM other than virtual box? I was having issues with dependencies when installing it

Speak up please, I can’t hear you over those creaking hips

To break a tire nut that’s really stuck on, hold the tire iron sideways to the left, support the iron with the right hand so it doesn’t pull on the nut wrong and damage it, step on the iron’s handle and lean on it until it loosens (usually with a loud snap)

A phenomenon easily fixed by being intelligent enough to understand democracy and the argument against a 2 party system

Wow I didn’t believe you until I looked it up, 758 million in 2020 to 344 million in 2022, that’s bananas. I love my instant pot

Not everything has to have an opposing perspective, where’s the opposing community for knitting? Tearing?

Can I run an installer off a mounted iso in a bottle?

I totally forgot about using a VM, can you recommend one besides virtualbox?

Kept telling me I was missing Vulkan and lib C (I think) and I kept installing it wrong somehow. Eventually I downloaded steam and ran one game (potion craft) and it installed everything I needed automatically, lutris worked just fine after that

Yeah I think it’s time to stop being lazy and actually learn how wine works, I can’t get Warcraft 3 to work

When you say you can install what you need, what does that mean exactly? Does that mean things like lib C or vulkan or drivers so my USB ports work? Seems to me like I don’t actually understand how a computer works at a fundamental level when I’ve never had to configure a sound card or manually install a driver and the explanations I get are too technical to practically apply

I’d like to understand my PC well enough to use Arch but I’m finding a hard time figuring out what I’m missing exactly. Practically speaking, what does direct X or vulkan do?

After bashing my face against the wall getting lutris to run StarCraft 2, I’m avoiding looking at my OS too hard

I feel like I should try arch just once so I understand the memes
