This is a sling. Bottom right corner is a catapult and uses stored energy (the elastic - sorry if wrong wording.) To me at least the idea of a sling that pivots around the user’s hand is much closer to the action of using a planet’s gravitational pull to sling a satellite craft onwards.
Luckily I caught my brother in the act of doing this when he came to stay, it was with good intentions but I had to explain the reasons why.
Just think how much control he can have if he owns the medium which people access the internet.
And he’d only do good things with that power /s

Me too.
I scored 11/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
GOOSE 3 DOWN!!
GOOSE 3 DOWN!!
It is payday.
They say the same shit in the UK. Where are all these billionaires going?!
That’s an excellent question, otherwise we’ll end up with the whole lone alpha wolf meme nonsense again.
For example, this study talks about ‘musth’ when male elephants experience increased testosterone - perhaps that’s what it’s refering to. With a very quick Google search I couldn’t find any general ranking of testosterone to body weight in animals.
Male elephants experience a biological phenomenon called “musth”, which is characterized by increased testosterone production, temporal gland secretion and urine dribbling, heightened aggression and sexual behavior, and therefore can pose unique challenges for human safety and animal welfare.
Anyone can swear, but I don’t see why we need to have swear words in the news. Just because the biggly orange guy thinks it’s appropriate to swear, doesn’t mean we need to lower the standard in the press.
Just because he has no decorum doesn’t mean everyone has to follow suit.
I’ll be honest, I don’t mind swearing on social media as I’m an adult but I don’t think there’s any need to swear in the news media.
I browse bluesky, news.ycombinator.com, or try and read a book 😅
A 4x4 truck with its big wheels and high ground clearance are features that allow the truck to move off-road. These features have the unfortunate side effect of making them dangerous to other road users, and very uneconomical / environmentally unfriendly. They also take up a lot of space.
Work vans and most cars are capable of driving on a building site or track.
I think he’s possibly talking at the UN or some security council as they plaque in front of him says “United States”, at a guess that wouldn’t be necessary in front of Congress. I might be wrong though, I’m not from the US.

I think that’s a little incorrect. The Fleet Air Arm falls under the Royal Navy.
In 1938, Admiralty Fleet Orders 2885 announced the formation of an Air Branch of the Royal Naval Reserve.
As of 1 December 2013, the Regular Fleet Air Arm has a reported strength of 5,000 personnel,[23] which represents approximately 20% of the Royal Navy’s total strength (excluding Royal Marines).
Though it seems that they have merged and split since original inception of the Royal Flying Corp and Royal Navy Air Service
Good point! A satellite is more likely to orbit a planet monitoring things I guess? It’s been a while since I’ve played Kerbal Space Program.
