Here’s two pictures showing how the tanks were arranged:

There were actually 13 fuel tanks on board.

They finally arrested him, but at what cost?

I would say that even simple answers at least deserve a source or citation. This is my biggest complaint with AI search, you get an “answer” with no qualification. The citations listed in the AI summary often don’t contain the actual info being presented.

Woah woah woah, there’s still plenty of meat on that bone.

All jokes aside, I usually do want to read the six Wikipedia pages because getting a one-sentence answer with no context is risky and not all that useful anyway. I need the nuance and background info for any question worth asking.

I’m sure they’ve considered it, but there’s some technical reason not to (yet).

The charging port will be subscription-based.

Should probably run it with sudo to avoid those annoying permissions errors.

My favorite quote from The Big Short:

In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big banks and regulate the mortgage and derivatives industries.

Just kidding. Banks took the money the American people gave them, and they used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers.

I have an idea: they could package all the AI debt into securities and then sell it off in small pieces to individual investors. By spreading out the investment over many different loans, the risk of default will be greatly reduced. It’s not like ALL the AI companies are going to default all at once, right? Ha ha.

Newton’s third law works well in explaining this. Think of where the momentum is going in each case: in the jet engine, normally the exhaust is directed rearwards, which creates an equal and opposite force forwards. When the reversers are deployed, the exhaust is directed partially forward, which creates an opposite force rearward, thus slowing the plane.

In a sailboat with a fan pointed at the sail, the fan initially pushes air forward, which would push the boat backwards. But the air immediately hits the sail and either stops or is directed out the sides, which creates a forward force. The forward and reverse forces roughly cancel each other, so there’s little or no net motion of the boat. This assumes the fan and sail are in the configuration shown in your picture in another comment. It is possible to arrange the fan and sail in such a way that you actually get forward motion, but at that point it’s just an air boat with more steps.

It would be really difficult to design a spacecraft to go to Pluto and then return. You’d have to carry enough fuel to come to a stop at Pluto, then reverse back to Earth, then come to a stop at Earth. The extra fuel adds up quick because the more you carry, the more you need. A ship that could carry enough fuel for a round trip would be incredibly large and would have to be constructed in orbit rather than on the surface of the Earth.

You could reduce fuel requirements somewhat by going slower, but it already takes so long to get to Pluto that you’d soon be limited by human life expectancy.

Ha, at work I have a small dish I use as a granola bar ashtray.

He’s got your wife’s name in his mouth.

No, you’re thinking of the song Billy Idol by Michael Jackson.

Green Day dude

His name is Louis Armstrong.

Not holding a drink. Obviously an imposter.
