Not entirely. You get a lot of air resistance from vortex shredding which pulls the object back because of turbulent air flow at high speeds behind the object. You also have collision with air molecules when they are compressed in front of the object.

Friction on the other hand is more dominant when pushing an object along a surface.

I blame capitalism for this one. Misinformation and lobbying is very profitable. Using prior knowledge of what laws are coming into effect is also very profitable. Retiring and becoming a lobbyists is also.

In the US hard facts have become debatable and there's a shitty system that massively benefits two political parties.

I don't necessarily blame the people since the system is rigged against people's interest. They get mad and vote anti-establishment which is still very much the establishment.

It used to be center left but not anymore

I like that he actually depicted the St Andrew Cross appropriately

Just want to second that. When you have predictable hardware you can do some extremely precise optimizations, timings and scheduling so you know that when a situation comes up it'll be handled and executed the exact same way. On top of that the game will always be preconfigured so that it handles almost all situations at 60fps.

It can eek out some performance even though generally having more powerful hardware always wins.

I speak both, there is plenty of vocabulary differences but the sentence structure is almost identical and most germanic vocab is shared. Dutch has a lot of Latin vocab which is non-existent in Icelandic (introductie for example).

Icelandic also comes with a grammar DLC with declined nouns and 3 genders that also apply to definite articles that are suffixes instead of standalone words.

"Ég hef ekki gert neitt" Is translated as "Ik heb niets gedaan"

"Hann kann að tala eins og faðir minn" Is "Hij weet hoe to spreken zoals m'n vader."

But then you get "Stjórnmálamenn eru krabbamein samfélagsins" which is harder. Stjórn-mála-menn is rooted in "Steering", mál has the same root as "meal" but here means a case such as legal case "mealtime" in Icelandic has it's counterpart "máltíð". Menn is English "men". Eru is same as "are". Krabba-mein is "crab" and "mean" which means cancer. Sam-félag is Dutch "samen" and English "fellowship" which means society.

It's weird how pretty much every word can be separated into pieces and looked up to see where the shared between other germanic languages. The usage has obviously changed a lot in the last 1500 years but the connection is still there. :)

I'm autistic btw, this is one of my special interests, sorry if it's too long.

Sorry for bad Dutch spelling, I never learned to spell Dutch.

Bacteria technically live in the tube of "outside" on your inside. Digestive system is just one hole all the way through the body that your body interacts with just like the air in the lungs.

In Icelandic "Þú stendur fyrir framan þínum konungi"

Medieval 2 Total War. It's the best Total War game and one of the oldest. It has a basic campaign map where you create and manage armies which you then use to go into a real time battle with thousands of units. There is nothing as satisfying as routing the enemy with a massive cavalry charge into the rear when they're in hand to hand infantry combat.

The ceasefire comes into effect on Jan 21. They'll continue the genocide until at least that date

Power to make people have empathy.

The booster landed intact with all engines firing until they were turned off. The top half experienced issues where there was gas accumulation in the thruster area.

This is the first time they got two landings of the booster in a row so that's a win for them. I despise Elon but SpaceX has put space back on the menu and I love them for it.

Ayy, I'm not the only one

Shouldn't be legal at all

Student exchange programs - > job - > permanent residence is one of the easiest ways to migrate.

50 euro tuitions are heavily subsidised, usually the price is a lot higher without subsidies.

80% of startups fail as a benchmark. It's pretty tricky to create a company.

There's the other side of maintenence that you don't have to worry about messing other parts up if you change that one drop down menu since it's the only place it's used. It sometimes takes less time to do it this way.

I still think that the dropdowns should be unified, one view for desktop and one for mobile.

For some reason they are more pro Russian suppression state, Chinese one-party censorship state and even apologise for DPRK. It's pretty tall order to call any of those democratic. Then from my discussion with tankies they often advocate for an armed revolution which are very undemocratic in their nature and often lead to one-party states or a military junta government.

Marxist-Leninism is a democratic ideology but the way tankies talk doesn't sound very democratic to me.

I heard Finnish municipalities do studies when it's newly snowed to check where the desired footpath goes by looking at tracks in the snow. It avoids that issue in the image
