  305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

  A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

  For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

  The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is…a big difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨amazon anti union posters put up by the company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon denied that they were doing it as a company (of course they did).

  Luckily, the union won this election and it was certified in january of this year

  Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

  Even Fukushima didn’t have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

  Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It’s not just “keep nothing in inventory”, there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

  The problem is that leadership doesn’t interpret it that way and just sees “minimizing inventory increases profit!”

  When is this said, that’s hilarious!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Tasha? After all this time?" "Always"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally rewatched this episode today.

  Also it’s “Broccoli”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They are watching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet you’re a blast at parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In California, Car Buyers Are Choosing Electricity Over Gasoline in Record Numbers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

  Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it’s clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bot posting article about bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That account specifically is a bot, as it says in its profile and as its creator said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify now has 220 million paying subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s about what YouTube creators would get for the same amount of hits, which still doesn’t make it a lot but I think it’s an interesting comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox outperforms Chrome in speed for the first time according to a Speedometer assessment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is. It says so on its profile page.

  It’s honestly one of the more annoying ones too imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My personal theory: to offset activity losses and show shareholders that they can still drive engagement.
