Looking back at my scout camps, it's amazing that a group of 10-50 or so armed 12 year olds were able to be managed by one (presumably) responsible adult.

Using water is like assuming the testing environment and production are the same.

At least one city I lived in it was well known that you wanted to only ask for the fire department, because they would call an ambulance company via cell directly, and that one was significantly cheaper than the one 911 would dispatch. It was also much closer to a van with a stretcher in it; the 911 ambulance was a mini hospital on wheels.

£5 and we’ll drop you off at home before we land! Save the trip back from the airport.

You could do something with mirrors, but the safety cards reference looking out the windows before opening the emergency doors, so I bet you need at least SOME.

This would all be solved if the engines were out in front of the plane like podracers.

You can get an ambulance for only $150k? A transit van with a few options is already $75k.

What's strange with this is the prompt "Photorealistic photograph of a pelican riding a bicycle down a coastal boardwalk, wings gripping the handlebars, webbed feet on the pedals, large orange bill, detailed feather texture, golden hour lighting, shallow depth of field, shot on a DSLR with 85mm lens, natural motion blur on the wheels" produced, well, exactly what I asked it for.

And I've been where the Americans had some friends over from the US, and the 11/12 year olds grabbed some rifles and said they'd be back tomorrow. The Americans barely noticed, the Europeans flipped.

America is big, and parts of it can be very different.

It’d fit right into Thief of Time by Pratchett - the monks literally measure and distribute time.

"To authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of time" is just the best preamble ever.

Here's where I admit that I can't identify them - but offhand I think it was Siracusa. I know because I tried speeding up a recent episode and he started talking and I had to slow it back down.

This kind of story makes you realize what a true marvel the modern production line is - so many moving parts that have to line up just right each time to be able to produce vehicles as fast as we do.

And these things do exist - I know, because I have some (nascent, perhaps) - new in box LEGO sets wrapped and deep in a storage unit, spare parts still in box in the garage, etc.

Then you get things like the ATP (I can't bring myself to say ATP podcast because La Brea Tar Pits and all that) where two hosts are fine at 1.5x and the third becomes a chipmunk.

Maybe they can make Overcast have dynamic speed based on speaker.

The fallout from this has barely begun to be felt. It’s more important than the hypothetical quantum crypto stuff imo.

Yes. Mailing lists are incredibly useful and very hard to change.
