Kurt clearly doesn’t have the deduction skill at S-rank …

The visual gag that SpaceX Dragon has shot down Yachio from orbit was great.
I don’t think this is a Falcon 9, most notibly it has a single engine and seems to be single stage.
Going by the theme of US weapons in the opening, I assume it’s probably a LGM-118 Peacekeeper. But also doesn’t quite fit.
- Comment on Apocalypse Hotel - Episode 8 discussion 2 days ago:
So this has been bugging me since we watched Apocalypse Hotel last night. When Yachiyo re-enters from space they first think it’s some kind of threat and trying to shoot her down. And we can see in the beginning that they have a Phalanx CIWS, Patriot air defence systems and a bunch of vertical lunch tubes. Assuming the VLS carries SM-6 missiles, that’s 3 air defence systems, two with medium range for a target that is going to hit nearby.
But instead they try to intercept her with what seems to be an ICBM? That was never going to work. This racoon needs to be court marshalled for almost blowing up the city.

Lawmakers only do it to satisfy businesses.
Right, so they are not doing their job properly, which makes it their fault.
- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 5 days ago:
I don’t disagree it’s a shitty way to act but who’s fault is it really?
Lawmakers.

We’re even.
If the notice period is legally binding, they could sue you for damages of missed labour.
- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 5 days ago:
Yeah, labour laws over there are abysmal.
I guess if they notice period only applies to employees and not also the employer, then it would be justifiable to ignore it. But otherwise it will make you the asshole.
- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 5 days ago:
Not giving the required notice kind of makes you the asshole, though.

Because iPhones are much more popular in the US (around 55% market share) than in the rest of the world (around 25% market share).
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 5 days ago:
Yeah, with the horse meat in the lasagne and other stuff. We had that in Germany, too. But really the issue was more about faulty labeling than the fact that it was horse meat.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 5 days ago:
No. Within the parameters of the question it IS possible and the kid gave the correct answer.
A small fraction of X can have a bigger absolute value then a large fraction of Y when X is suffienctly larger then Y.

I’m pretty sure people would have caught on to pretending it was two years in the future :)

Sure buddy.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 6 days ago:
It’s a basic assumption in these word problems.
When the question is “How is it possible?” then basic assumptions go out the window.
It’s a pure math exercise.
No, it even days “Reasonableness” above the problem.
Within the paramters of the question the kids answer is reasonable and correct.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 6 days ago:
How is it wrong?
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 6 days ago:
In elementary school our teacher asked us to spell the current year with roman numerals, so I worked out “MCMXCVIII”, which I was quite proud of. Instead the teacher came back at me quite snarky and said it’s much easier to do “IIMM”, just substract 2 from 2000, duh!
It was only years later when I accidently learned that he was indeed full of shit and I was right all along.

I think the aversion to horsemeat is mostly a US thing.

Reminds me of the time when I got send to the principle for saying “fuck you” during class. I was saying it to a classmate, but the teacher felt it was directed at her.
Anyway, the principle (herself a German teacher, this happend in Germany) gave me detention and wrote a letter to my parents, saying it was because I made a sexist remark towards a teacher.
My Dad wrote back explaining the difference between a sexist and an obscene remark. They canceled my detention.

Are you?
We’re talking about banning one of the major things that is food. If you ban meat, you only have plants and fungi left. So yes, I think banning an entire branch of transportation is a decent analogy.

Exaclty … certain types in certain areas. That’s regulation. You wouldn’t just ban all vehicles. Do I really have to spell this out?

It would not.
Having traffic laws isn’t the same as banning cars, either.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 6 days ago:
Yes. Never had one, never needed one, never cracked my screen.
Just makes the phone unnecessarily bigger and uncomfortable to put in your pocket.

I don’t dislike the new teachers character, but not quite sure why she’s there, yet. 2nd part was soldid though, a lot of deserved screentime for Oshiro.

I haven’t laughed as hard as in the 2nd part in a while. Love this show.

I watched this episode on an airplane … (I was down to the last episode I’ve downloaded). But it was just easyJet, should be fine.

You’d still put the 40TB drives in a raid? It certainly will save you NAS bays.
