  • wow so it’s stupider than i thought it is. concorde went at mach 2, regular airliner goes at mach 0.75-0.85, and this approach limits speed to mach 1.15. entire one quarter of travel time saved, probably less

    anyway, remember abilene tx dc? coreweave contracted three companies for gas turbines, one real company, ge vernova, who delivered their turbines like four months in, presumably because they wanted their money before everyone gets broke. (you can see them from space). and two fuckass startups, this being one of them and some other that dealt in refurbishing aeroderivative turbines. not sure if they delivered anything, only these gas turbines from ge are actually visible on satellite photos









  • from what i understand, part of it is because methadone has a very long half life, which means that patients don’t bounce from rush to crash every day but instead taper down slowly. also because it touches other receptors than opioid receptors in a way that helps in this case







  • maybe you can’t

    The Eagle’s Nest was still on fire early on Saturday By Patrick Jackson

    Published 3 hours ago

    Police in the southern German state of Bavaria have detained a suspect during a fire at Adolf Hitler’s Alpine mountain retreat, the Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle’s Nest.

    Dispatchers in Traunstein received a fire alarm from the building at 21:15 local time (19:15 GMT) on Friday and firefighters found it engulfed in flames.

    Difficult terrain was hindering efforts to extinguish the blaze and it was still burning early on Saturday, police said, with some 200 emergency personnel deployed. There were no reports of injuries.

    The Nazi dictator used the retreat, which lies above the town of Berchtesgaden, as a part-time seat of government and met commanders there to plan the invasion of the USSR in 1941.

    Hitler also used the area as a backdrop for propaganda films portraying him as a lover of animals and nature.

    A criminal investigation is under way to determine whether the suspect is connected to the fire.

    Completed by the Nazis in 1938, the Eagle’s Nest escaped destruction after their defeat in 1945.

    Since then, it has become a popular tourist destination and houses a mountain inn.

    It serves as “a cautionary reminder of the abysses of the inhumane Nazi dictatorship”, according to its official website, external.

    During World War Two, Hitler and his followers were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, including the mass murder of European Jews.
