xkcd #3090: Sail Physics

Reply in thread

I actually like it better this way because the full comic can be viewed and zoomed in on in app (Voyager in my case). I've seen these posted with the source page as the post link and I can't click on the image to zoom in without being pulled out of app with a wait for the web page to load. Also, when entering the post to see the comments, the thumbnail is so small when the source page is linked, making the comic unreadable. With an image alone, the full comic is viewable beside the comments. Is it different for you?

The WSJ first broke the story on Thursday. However, it didn't include an image of the card, only the text and a description. From all the sources I've seen, the original image has not been released. It is possible that someone only leaked a written report to the WSJ and they dont even have a photo of it. I suspect all these photos are fake, but since Trump will likely sue for defamation, I don't believe this story would have been published without a high certainty of the text's authenticity.

Counterargument: no.

E: To elaborate, the terms of service say:

"**We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature.**"

Merely expressing glee is not calling for violence or threatening a living creature. Banning someone for a rule they didn't break, for any duration, is overreach.

Iran wipes out US-Israeli radars & sensors, changing course of war

Reply in thread

We've known for almost a month that two THAAD radars have been hit and that another was being pulled out of South Korea to act as a replacement. There's also been drone footage of Iranian drones hitting radar installations.

I don't see anything in the quoted text that contradicts the headline. Radar installations have been damaged, and these gaps may be a contributing factor to the reduction in interceptions.

This article has satellite images with before/after sliders of the two THAAD strikes.

too real

Yes, but that top layer isn't square. There's one more row towards the top left. Some Qs need to be removed or added to bring balance to the qube.
