@CreepyOrg Kidney stone in my late 20s. Lab analysis said I wasn’t drinking enough water. The pain made me vomit continually for a week. Doctors told me my pain exceeded childbirth. For this reason I have no fear of bullets.

@Andercot To summarize, I think you are saying horizontal integration (outsourcing) locked the aerospace industry into a local maximum for the state of the art (and local minimum for cost structure) and they need to return to vertical integration to break out and achieve a global maximum

@anders_aslund The efficiency might be more extreme than what these numbers say. The 5% is from only one year of US military budget while the 50% is from the accumulated strength of the second largest army on Earth after decades. The Kremlin value system has been exposed. Communism was exposed

@GlasnostGone If we allow for an intact body to spill out of the wreckage (more likely it would disintegrate as most of the metal did) it seems unlikely it would move across the snow in the same orientation as a dragged body. More likely it would tumble.

@niccruzpatane Everybody should have Tesla’s wheel locks. Each has a unique key pattern and they sit too deep in the rim to be gripped by theft tools. Make sure you hide the key socket inside the car so thieves can’t find it but is available for roadside emergencies.

@engineers_feed 4 socks maximum must be blindly picked to get a matching pair when 3 colors are in the sock drawer. My method is to look at the worst case scenario: picking one of each color for the first 3 socks. The 4th sock is guaranteed to match at least one of the first 3 socks.
