Repetition.

You’re absolutely right there. We’re hard wired to think this way and it’s a constant battle.

Knowing these helps with self-talk. You trip over a curb and start scolding yourself. Then you can say to yourself “this is just spotlight bias”, and move on with your day, avoiding the impact of negative emotions. Or, you might be more open to a change in restaurant plans because you know of the false consensus effect. There’s subtle but real power in just naming things!

I tried binding in Steam but the controller settings in Steam are kind of terrible too. Half the time I don’t know what a setting does, and I feel like I need to do a training course to understand it. So I gave up and went back to Elite.

I couldn’t find a way to bind a double press in X4, so hold RB and tap X for example. These combinations are essential because there is no other way to use a controller to perform all of the necessary controls. It’s a shame because I would have invested a lot into the game if that was surmountable.

Anglesey is doing something right

It absolutely does, my friend. It’s called the analemma.

Has nobody mentioned Barotrauma? Had a few hundred hours of fun with this, my buddy and I. Especially if you don’t mind shit being not very shiny. It is unique, and it keeps on giving.

The volumes would be different on either side of the leak. Usually you standardise leak measurements to STP, and give it in standard cubic centimetres per second, SCC/s, i.e. ‘how much fluid would be escaping if it were in a room at one atmosphere of pressure at 20°C’. Makes it easier to compare.

As always, if someone has a good worldbuilding idea, somebody has already thought of it.
As usual, it was Terry Pratchett.

Fair enough. A quick Google tells me the rate in the automotive industry is 6.3 per 100, which is close to SpaceX at 5.9 per 100. Might be more comparable to be fair.

The bottom line is this: if your accelerated processes are causing more workers to get injured, then you need to slow down. You must not churn out a second stage every 2.5 days if it means more injuries per worker.
Your argument is that these workers are doing more dangerous tasks more often and therefore that raises the injury rate, right? Well then they should be doing fewer dangerous tasks, and less often, then.

The time derivative of position is velocity. The derivative of velocity is acceleration. Derive again and you get jerk. Then it’s snap, crackle and pop.

Legend has it that babies born en caul, or “in their waters” will never drown at sea.

Face paint it is.

Pure hydrazine maybe, as that’s not all that common. But the derivatives MMH and UDMH (which are both equally devastating to humans/the environment) are certainly used in the atmosphere, even by western nations. It’s common as an orbit raising fuel.

It’s not just toxic, it’s incredibly toxic… the threshold for toxicity is below human sensitivity, i.e. if you can smell it, it’s already too late. It’s also flammable/explosive, poisonous, carcinogenic, catches fire without a spark, has no surface tension so it spreads faster than water, and it’s generally the single most dangerous chemical known to man. In the words of Isaac Asimov:

anyone working with rocket fuels is outstandingly mad. I don’t mean garden-variety crazy or a merely raving lunatic. I mean a record-shattering exponent of far-out insanity.

That’s Hydrazine. The other liquid propellant, nitrogen tetroxide, which causes the signature red clouds, is slightly (!) less hazardous. It will still readily kill you. It’s odd to see in the twitter photo that there was a fuming red cloud during takeoff, which suggests a problem with the burn ratios. Absolutely zero propellant should be allowed to pass unspent into the air, from engineering, safety and environmental perspectives.

Can I ask where you got this info from? The article says the bill is 300 pages long. I’m never getting through all that.

Edit: the article also claims age verification for porn sites is still in there?

You’ve misread my comment I think. Unions can coordinate and organise together. So nobody would be leaving their fellow worker to fight by themselves.

Not so. It makes sense to organise in trade unions. The heads of those unions are on the same side most of the time, as it would be in this case, and they can easily coordinate their actions. But in some cases the interests of one trade have no bearing on another, or are even in opposition, in which case it would be somewhere between difficult and impossible to organise a balloted action across the entire union. Thus nullifying the strength of the union and playing right into the capitalist’s hands.
