Me if i was a thief

I tried that once, my computer caught fire then told me to kill my son,
I don’t even have a son

think I’ll just stick to linux

Getting high and screaming instead of getting the measles vaccine does sound like something rfk could have said tbh

It’s basic thermonomics, you learn it at busineering school

Kid rock probably only had to refund a low number of tickets as very few were planning to go to his show

And it better jiggle right, i have a degree in jigglephysics so i’ll notice

Literally 1984

I followed the caption, now i’m missing a kidney

Stranger danger

Yeah the first issue is in theory solvable, but they never managed to do it, not in a practical manner at least (huge cryocooled superconductors is probably not very practical)

The forces are from the immense magnetic fields, two parallel wires with current in opposite directions will repel eachother, so the rails are trying to move apart from eachother

This plus the heat causing material expansion plus the rails needing to be very straight for it all to work, and you end up having a bit of an engineering headache on your hands

But yeah it’s mainly when you build large ones meant to fire things at really really high speeds, maybe we’ll find a way to improve it one day, but for now it’s sadly dead in the water (in the military sector at least, but they tend to be the main driving force behind technology that fires things)

The issue is that large scale railguns tend to self destruct, either from the heat or from the immense forces, so it can only fire a few shots before it needs extensive maintenance, and the time it takes to recharge is quite long in most practical applications (warships and such) which is why the american military has given up on the concept.

For launching stuff you have the same issues, except you now the payload isn’t a solid piece of metal but an intricate component which somehow needs to survive the insane acceleration (unless you use a really long barrel)

“sweet, i’ve saved up enough points to get a pass on either one murder or showing vacation pictures to coworkers for ten minutes”

Well now it’s more “Food stamps? No foodstamps for you!”

Land of the free, free to die on the streets

“It’s Turanging time”

It’s been a while since i watched futurama but i’m pretty sure that line is in there somewhere

I would probably prefer getting almost instantly fried by molten hot metal than slowly suffucate in liquid cement

Why? What did the card ever do to deserve that?

*explanation*

It’s what nazis and christians burned before books were invented

Have you no compassion? Think of the poor desolute shareholders, they need you, they need your labour, it is your duty as a fellow human being to do everything to make their numbers go up is it not?

Nice! I love goddot!
