And they'd soon move back. Would be a good lesson

Easily. I imagine that most spacecraft are already traveling faster than the speed of stick. It's likely only a few thousand meters per second
Because the stick isn't infinitely rigid. If you push it at one end the other end doesn't immediately start moving. The time it takes, I think, is equal to the speed of sound inside that material. Ultimately the forces that bind atoms together and allow them to interact are limited by the speed of light.
Yes. Although I missed that bit
I literally popped into a bar in Hanoi to watch the end of this (my girlfriend loves the Superbowl) and this was the first thing I saw. "No it's not" was my comment
Respond, you fucking coward.
I've noticed a lot of "jet colllided with military helicopter" when is almost certain the military helicopter was somewhere it shouldn't have been
Let's hire hyperhitler is a common play.
They still make some pretty fucked decisions. Their philosophy is the exact opposite of the PD which is interfere at all levels all the time
I love that 加油 is basically the words for add oil too
The paperclip machine
It comes in an sorts of varieties, from sweet, to fairly bland, but it's so much better than what I'm used to in the UK. Normally I'd never drink the stuff straight, but here it is a different thing altogether, and I'm actually picking it over beer some of the time.
It goes great with youtiao (油条), which is a sort of light fried batter stick that you dunk in a bowl of soy milk, sweetened to your taste.
Anyway, just thought I'd enlighten anyone who didn't already know.
There was some sort of anime themed dance off in the mall and the participants were all drawing on this massive fabric wall. Was very happy to see this.
The Chinese youth are alright.
It was all over the place in Chongqing, but then I entered a Bei Bing Yang desert and was without for weeks. I'm now in Xingyi and I've finally found it again. Very refreshing, fizzy orange drink with orange bits in. Lovely.
I'm seeing some real time, grade-A consent manufacturing regarding this massive crowdstrike outage. Every article I see blames Microsoft. I have no love for Microsoft, but they were not to blame. The people who are too blame are crowdstrike, the software company who deployed the broken update that caused the outage.

Crowdstrike is more a piece of US surveillance tech than it is an actual security suite. In essence it can take any data from a device it is installed on and can execute any command on those devices (due to the way the software very tightly integrated with the windows operating system, bypassing security on the OS). A powerful tool when you consider that the US government can subpoena any us corporation to hand over the information they hold.
Now, crowdstrike had a huge market share, but you can bet that after this event people are going to be less willing to use it, and this will result in the US losing a huge part of its surveillance network. People don't care what security suite they use, so long as it works, so people are going to switch.
Cue the absolute deluge of articles I've been seeing blaming this on Microsoft. An operating system so ingrained into the business world that no-one is going to switch to an alternative, no matter how much they fuck up. They can take the heat and mitigate the damage to crowdstrike. Thus preserving the US state surveillance appetatus.
