lightpole posted:California students sued for their money back due to online classes and I thought they won but I cant find any info. Either way, I expect the current format of education to change radically. Higher ed is going to be hurting for cash and theres no reason for students to be paying high fees for basic reqs like physics, English, algebra, chem, etc. That poo poo is the same at bumfuck college Barstow as it is at Harvard. The specialized upper ed classes may stick around. The limiting factor for an online/remote class is the same as for an in person class, how many assignments a professor and their TAs can grade in a reasonable amount of time and how many people can reasonably get a chance to interact during the class. Especially for upper level classes, some of mine are still limited to about 20-30 because there’s no way to have a decent discussion or get the chance to interact with the professor with many more. And really the opportunity to interact with people who have a lot of experience, knowledge, and influence in their field is the main benefit to paying for a better university.

PookBear posted:they do though which is what he's talking about, the non flying billets that are filled by pilots I know, I was agreeing. I spent half my enlistment in a very long training pipeline and then the other half at a unit that didn't even have the clearance for me to do anything I was trained to do.

Rich homes are worse for the environment than the homes of poor people. The richer the person the worse they are. The only exceptions are rich people who spend their money on energy efficient new construction apartments.quote:The zip code that produced the most greenhouse gas per person was in the mountains of western Boulder County, where the 23,811 pounds per person is 18 times higher than in the San Francisco zip code. This looks like it was just comparing the consumption of the building itself, I'd be interested to see the carbon consumption of the residents added in, especially comparing the increased footprint of bringing food in to cities vs rural communities.

US Berder Patrol posted:West of the cities of Boulder or Lyons, there are only little villages up in the mountains with the biggest of those probably being Nederland. From most of the hiking trails on the Boulder County/City Open Space or Mountain Parks land you can see some tech millionaire rear end in a top hat's picture window walled mansion on their private mountain estate. The cost of delivering all the materials to build that and the expense to heat the place in the snowy winters must be astronomical, setting aside the cluster that would be acquiring water to use. They're driving a Tesla a couple months out of the year, but probably also have an F-250 or Tahoe or whatever to get down their gated driveway in the winter Some people in the Longmont makerspace's Slack (where I first saw that article link) were saying that BoCo's power grid is so coal and gas heavy that charging a Tesla on the grid generates more greenhouse gas than most cars that get 30-ish MPG I like a lot of things about this area or I wouldn't have come back after my enlistment, but holy hell it's full of some of the most entitled white Libs. I just wanna go to Trader Joe's once a month to stock up on snacks without having to worry about some Karen trying to fight me in the parking lot

Suicide Watch posted:In retrospect the marines trademarking their MARPAT doesnt seem that weird now There's definitely been cops wearing either legit MARPAT as some sort of gross appropriation and/or blatant violation of uniform regs if they're Reserves, or illegal bootlegs. In both cases seems like maybe some charges should be pressed against them.

bulletsponge13 posted:Turtledove's books are always airport sci fi. Not bad, not good, but entertaining. And he's done so many of the loving things. That's the Turtledove "WW2 but aliens show up in the middle of it" series. They expect humans to still be medieval and laugh at knights and how primitive they are in their briefings and then show up and it's like 1944. The aliens think humans develop technology faster because they're always ready to bone instead of having mating seasons, so they kidnap humans from around the world and make them have sex so the scientists can learn the secrets of science from them, when in reality humans are good at making new weapons because humans are always killing each other.

The much better Turtledove WW2 series is the one that puts WW2 into a fantasy world where the Soviets use blood magic to make up for their sparser ley lines and America has leviathan riders instead of subs. Also dragons.

Riot Carol Danvers posted:I swear I read an article on it, but on further reflection it was mostly info from a former HH-60G flight engineer who now works as a civilian in the MH-139 testing program. Things like "the floor can't support the weight of loaded troops" etc. I'll keep looking for it, but there was a laundry list. Man that's right up there with "the F-35 can't fly if it was fueled from camo painted fuel tanks instead of reflective white" in "things that should disqualify a platform from military consideration"

Hyrax Attack! posted:Whoa really? What was the cause of the issue with the F-35, were the camo painted fuel tanks warming the fuel? I believe it, just not sure of the specifics. Yeah, the plane uses the fuel as coolant, and if the fuel gets too warm because the plane is operating, in, say, a desert, it overheats. I assume they've fixed it since I haven't heard anything about this issue in a while but it was one of many giant red flags.

Mustang posted:I can't be the only person that feels awful for people born into one of those uncontacted tribes. What do you think their life expectancy is? For pretty much any society the hard part is making past infancy, after that point life expectancy is within a decade or so of any other society. When people say stuff like "expectancy in the X Time Period was only 40 years" it's not because people didn't routinely make it to 70, it's because the average is being brought down by infant mortality.
