Iranian President Raisi feared dead as helicopter wreckage found (www.yahoo.com)

(Reuters) -Hopes are fading that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister have survived a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain and icy weather, an Iranian official said on Monday after search teams located the wreckage. “President Raisi’s helicopter was completely burned in the crash … unfortunately, all...

catloaf,

Probably not at all. I’m no expert on Iran, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard about the president of Iran on the news at all. Ayatollah Khamenei, on the other hand, plenty of times.

Modelo is the best-selling beer in the US though.

Problem is that asteroids are very hard to see, as they are both cold and dark, meaning they don’t stand out against space very much at all. And even a micrometeoroid poses a risk even when traveling at low velocities (e.g. someone orbiting earth, the meteoroid itself has a relatively high velocity). Getting hit by a 1cm meteoroid at warp 1 would be devastating.

catloaf,

Hippocrates also described the four humors.

Their theory of atoms was also that they were indivisible, being the most basic building block of all matter. Obviously now we know that that’s not true.

They described a lot of things, and were wrong more often than not. Their biggest contribution was really just progress in the scientific method itself.

catloaf,

These wrecks will be leaking fuel and other nasty stuff for a long time. It’ll probably hurt the environment more than help.

catloaf,

I’m pretty sure that that’s not how that works.

catloaf,

Shitty paper boxes with heavy contents get beat up and broken pretty easily.

[Bug] Does anyone else have problems with .mp4 videos?

Boost fails to open .mp4 for me. When I browse “All” there usually is some mp4 content, especially from … well … nsfw instances. Theese almost always fail and I see just black screen. Firefox on mobile opens it without a problem and so does Sync For Lemmy. Do you have this issue or is it just me? F.e. can you open this...

catloaf,

Same thing, even if I hit the HD button in the top right. If I tap the link button in the toolbar it opens in the webview just fine.

catloaf,

Or “a helicopter does not fly so much as beat the air into submission”.

catloaf,

I don’t think it’s meditation and yoga, it’s stuff like backpacking and survival skills.

Jeff Bezos revealed his secret to Amazon’s success 25 years ago: ‘I asked everyone around here to wake up terrified every morning, their sheets drenched in sweat’ (www.cnbc.com)

Back in the 90s, Jeff Bezos went on record as hoping his employees would wake up on the wrong side of the bed—for the greater good, or for the customer at the very least....

catloaf,

Do you think we could put him and Elon Musk and all the other billionaire assholes on the B ark and send them to Mars?

catloaf,

Unlikely. Docker is cross-platform, just use the existing guides like trash-guides.info.

catloaf,

Babies are both very fragile and very resilient. For example, bones don’t start hardening and fusing for several years, so they can take a lot of bumps and such. I haven’t read the article, but it’s possible that the wounds were just grazing.

Israeli army appears to be using Gaza hospital, school as bases, Washington Post reports (www.haaretz.com)

Israeli soldiers appear to be using the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the Gaza Strip as a br for military operations, and, since March, also a school in the village of Juhor ad Dik, which is located about one kilometer from the border with Israel and was destroyed in the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, indicated...

catloaf,

Fun fact, this makes them valid military targets. Hamas would be fully justified in attacking them.

catloaf,

Never heard the saying “ignorance is bliss”?

catloaf,

And if it’s a repeater, it will halve your bandwidth. Actual mesh APs are a bit better, but you’re still taking every packet and rebroadcasting it. And if the device only has one radio, I don’t think they can listen and transmit at the same time.

catloaf,

I don’t know any specifics, but a bunch of ropes divides the force on each one. A bunch of ropes, plus people pushing from behind, would probably be enough force to overcome static friction without exceeding tensile limits on any one rope.

catloaf,

They’re external, you’re not going to be using them for performance anyway.

catloaf,

Yeah, there’s a lot more going on than the headline would lead you to believe.

Also, the past tense of wind is wound.

catloaf,

“Trails Carolina” is one of those “wilderness therapy” camps, for additional context.

So AIPAC is antisemitic. You heard it here first, folks.

catloaf,

Not just the IDF. The entire government of Israel is complicit.
