The “revolutionary” air-breathing engine could, in theory, lift an aircraft from a runway to more than 30km (18.6 miles) into the stratosphere and continuously accelerate it to 16 times the speed of sound....
I’ll wait until other countries validate the findings, or until someone makes a working prototype, before getting excited. Seems like it’s one of those “too good to be true” stories like the LK-99. Hype in tech and science almost always leads to disappointment.
Yup that’s me. In Latin class I was very sick and I was too shy to interrupt the teacher and go to the infirmary and puked all over some guy’s backpack. He had to leave school with a trash bag containing what he could salvage from the mess.
It’s 20 bucks to go up there, honestly the view is okay but it’s not really worth it… Here’s a tip: If you want a 360° view of the skyline, go to the Helipad Lounge, it’s a rooftop bar on top of an helipad.

I remember hearing that they have to ask them to drop their weapon when they shot someone, and they even have to handcuff them, even if they’re obviously dead or at least not a threat anymore, just to make sure they follow the procedure. Is that true? I’ve also heard that they are advised to “magdump” i.e emptying their entire magazines on their target, to make absolutely sure they won’t have a second adrenaline-fueled wind and reach for a weapon.
“That’s when she says Nolan picked her up by her ribs, called her a homophobic slur, and threw her into the fire pit.” Yeah, let’s just not believe the girl that was fucking thrown into a fire pit, let’s trust the guy that was so hammered he allegedly do not remember any of it. Clown world.
Well to be honest, pretty much everyone going through jail ends up worse when they get out, either more violent and willing to do more crimes, or unable to integrate society after. It’s fucking useless.
