The people smashing around the Capitol do not understand what a dictatorship looks like. And they certainly underestimate the momentum and deeply ingrained level of trust in our democracy even by the majority of their ELECTED representatives.

@nosuchthing episode 206 mentions golf balls sail longer in warm air due to reduced density and therefore lower air resistance. Curious how much lower of a score people may get due to global warming in a generation or two.

Been marathoning @nosuchthing the last few weeks trying to listen all the way back to episode 1. On 212 currently. Massive task but able to get an ab workout even with gyms closed here in the US. Thanks for keeping me in shape! 🤣

expensive because they are single crystal metals and difficult to manufacture. Single crystal makes it such that they don't break until very high loads (i.e. very fast engine rotation), but when they do, they snap off and act as a ballistic projectile. General term: Fan blade out

For multiple years I sat directly with the team that ran birdstrike sims for the new 777X. My company (Dassault Systemes) provides the engineering software Boeing uses to simulate that among other things. Happy to answer general questions related to engr, aerospace, or high-tech.
