Her pacemaker can run it though

Kurzgesagt had a very good, easy to understand video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOiGEI9pQBs

Which scp is this?

It was, here is the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzgG94Tz2Ak&t=16

HAHAHA alcoholism

Yes, in elevators usually one cable could hold far more than the full weight, then they add 5 more for the safety.

For rail speed limits this is the exact way they calculate it. For road speed limits they consider braking distance, which grows by the square of your speed, so if you go 120 on 60 road, you will need 4 times the distance to stop. I wrote 1.5 as a safety factor, not 4, With a 1.5 safety factor you can go by 75 though, but I would use a 1.1 safety there, as in my country the speed cameras are set up that way, you can go +10% of the official speed limit, they only send a cheque if you went even quicker than that.

It’s not wrong, it’s close enough. And the point it works with more numbers and more type of calculation. Let’s calculate 4% of 1243. That’s the same as 1243% of 4, right, much easier to calculate by simply changing the 2 numbers… While my method is the same, by simply rounding everything.

And in engineering you always multiply/divide your results by a 1.5 or 1.25 safety factor, depending on situation. So you don’t have to calculate exact results, just close enough. E.g. G is always 10m/s2. π is only 3.14, the other digits doesn’t matter.

My engineering brain says it’s 3.25.

4% is ~ 5%. 10% of 75 is 7.5. To get the 5% I have to divide it by 2, so 4% of 75 is close to 3.25. I will have to multiply it with some safety coefficient at the end, so the exact value doesn’t matter.

She may be eating an ortolan, that’s why she covers her head:

The traditional way French gourmands eat ortolans is to cover their heads and face with a large napkin or towel while consuming the bird. The purpose of the towel is debated. Some claim it is to retain the maximum aroma with the flavour as they consume the entire bird at once, while according to The Daily Telegraph, “Tradition dictates that [the towel] is to shield – from God’s eyes – the shame of such a decadent and disgraceful act”, and others have suggested the towel simply hides the consumers spitting out bones. This use of the towel was begun by a priest, a friend of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

But wiki of the painting says:

The one on the left of the man wears a headscarf in the typical garb of married Roman women at the time.

I think it doesn’t look like that, it seems like it’s just placed there, without any fixture.

ncmpcpp -h media-pc

Ncmpcpp is short for NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus). Its ui is top notch, its name is super memorable.

I obviously know that, I can recognise such a basic dinosaur. But I pronunce it with latin spelling, and I have no idea how you should pronunce it in english to make the joke work

The laziness of some poster is unbelievable

It’s a desktop client for soulseek: https://github.com/Nicotine-Plus/nicotine-plus

Install, login/register, share your data then search. Filter the results by file format, sort by download speed etc. Soulseek is a very old file sharing platform, work the same way since 2001. A lot of peers don’t allow downloading from them if you don’t share anything.

For Android I found SeekerAndroid, never used it.

I noticed first the text is not center aligned perfectly and the messed up apostrophe. If they couldn’t even add the text manually, I guess everything is just pure lazyness.
