Your math is wrong. Kinetic energy scales linearly with mass, quadratically with speed. The graphic you included supports the idea that at same speed, the pickup truck has double the KE. The 120 mph sedan has dramatically more KE than a 30 mph pickup.

Assuming that your sedan has exactly half the mass of the pickup, it would match a 30 mph pickup’s KE at 30*sqrt(2) mph, which is somewhere between 40 and 45 mph.

I settled on mediawiki myself due to basically how trustworthy mediawiki and mediawiki skins look. I use https://github.com/CanastaWiki/Canasta-DockerCompose myself but the default includes caddy, which I just overrode in the docker compose override. I believe Canasta is mainly driven by someone who works on a wiki farm.

I also know of https://github.com/nasa/meza.

However, I want to repeat my recommendation of miraheze. When I run into an issue or need an extension, I just look at what miraheze does or what people associated with miraheze do. I also believe that due to the nature of mediawiki it’s a better use of resources to have a wiki farm as opposed to many separate instances. If they will host your wiki, I think they’re the best choice.

Do you need to host it yourself? https://miraheze.org/ may do hosting for you

I took a quick skim. By toxic atmosphere, they mean as in probable health hazard, not as in directly killing people immediately.

Indoor co2 levels can easily hit 1000+ ppm co2, especially if your dwelling is well sealed, as many energy efficient dwellings are. Submarines keep co2 at the thousands ppm for extended periods and were the impetus for co2 studies on how much humans can take.

I don’t think a major concern of rising atmospheric co2 is the direct threat to health caused by elevated co2 levels. I, personally, would be angered if someone told me that high co2 levels were dangerous to human health and then I read this.

consider it reparations ✊😤

My understanding is that it is only “outside the law” in that

There are no internationally agreed catch limits in the region covering squid

The law of the sea, probably / theoretically UNCLOS, would still apply. I don’t think any power would approve of anything militancy related and I think it’s likely they would take steps against any groups that are involved in anything militancy related.

How are you supposed to raise a 10X engineer without 10X-ing the Tylenol dosage?

What’s the alternative? A 4X engineer? Or heavens forfend, a … 1X engineer!?

☝️🤓 erm akshully samurai are generally agreed to have first emerged around the time of the kamakura shogunate (12th century CE), thus there could not possibly be a samurai fighting in the background of any scene in the 10th century

I think Krugman has generally focused on labor productivity when talking about technology and the economy. He made that prediction in the 90s, when the productivity paradox was a topic.

Obviously I was wrong about the internet petering out, and have admitted that. So it goes. Show me an economist who claims never to have made a bad prediction, and I’ll show you someone who’s either dishonest or unwilling to take intellectual risks.

He has a recent-ish oped (direct nyt link) where he admits he was wrong but then brings up labor productivity again, waggles his eyebrows, and gives you a smouldering look. He sounded convincing to me, but I don’t have the background knowledge to know if he’s cherry picking his numbers.

I can’t imagine even the skinniest fit and thinnest 100% cotton denim fabric to mold to the legs enough to differentiate between toned and untoned calf muscles. I can’t even imagine the new 98% cotton, 2% elastane jeans to be that tight.

I can only conclude OOP’s definition of toned leg ∨ definition of jeans differ significantly from mine.

This misleading content will be ruinous for the world! I have a very large position on the population of indigenous peoples in the Amazon in 10 years time on MataMarket!

Counterpoint: can’t be horny on main if there’s no main

I’m much more familiar with those terms being used in the active present tense sense than in a past tense sense. The elastic interval on the strain axis tends to be surprisingly short and plastic deformation can be difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Holding that rubber band and having it stretch due to gravity is almost certainly an elastic deformation. I would be very surprised if there was no plastic deformation from that disposable spoon bending.

A good rule of thumb is: if I cycled this change a bajillion times, would I eventually detect a difference? If you answer yes, then plastic deformation is occurring.

I think being sieged is probably the worse option. Being the defending side in a siege generally accompanies local force inferiority. If they do take the fortress, things will suck a lot for you.

I think a better formulation might be: When one army is assaulting a fortress, and the other defending, try to be in neither of them.

Yay! A chance for me to link to my favorite blog: https://acoup.blog/2025/09/12/collections-life-work-death-and-the-peasant-part-ivc-rent-and-extraction/ (may require reading part IV.a and IV.b first).

A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry is right now doing a series on how peasants lived. Arable land is limited, people really don’t want to watch their family members starve, and the entire economic system is maybe kind of reliant on squeezing peasants to do the things necessary for society to function, so there’s strong incentives of all kinds to work a lot

I found it super helpful to have the Sun’s center of mass labeled!

I only wish Jupiter’s center of mass was also labeled in this graphic. I’ve been trying to puzzle it out myself, but I’m stumped!

I know of a short story on becoming a mouse, but that one’s focus is something euthanasia adjacent.

thank you for your service
