Cable management isn’t good
  • Pull the shelf away from the wall.
    Thread the power strip through from a side.
    Use one column of shelfs for connecting things to the power strip.
    This way you can easily connect things to the power strip from behind.
    Cables will be vertical and excess can be left hanging.
    If you use the second row from below, you can easily connect things temporarily. But the lowest row would allow for a better look if the power strip is only used for permanently plugged devices.

  • Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.
  • I imagine if the slightest thing seemingly goes wrong it could have a snowball effect.
    People rushing in panic in any direction out of fear or curiosity.
    Landing a plane that size is hard enough but with all the mass tumbling around makes it even more unpredictable.
    The seatbelts aren't for your safety allone, they also keep your mass in place so the plane doesn't react unpredictably.
    Also a big plus if during the turbulences you're not getting flailed by the whirling around extremities of a beltless corpse or getting crushed by its torso.
    Remember, force equals mass times speed and there can be a lot of accelerstion during turbulences.

  • Isn't it weird that we'll never (ever?) talk about lightnings as a potential renewable energy source ?
  • 1,400,000,000 strikes earth every year

    According to https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/thunder-and-lightning/facts-about-lightning

    That would be barely 45 strikes each second.
    That's four magnitudes away from your cited goal of powering earth.

    The reason noone talks about harnessing lightning as a power source is the diminishing returns on top of its unreliability and it being demanding on the tech it would need - which we know for decades now.

    My conclusion is OP didn't research google his question first.

  • Our entire existence may be a sort of stable spacetime bubble that can pop at any moment.
  • How would it change society if we knew that our entire solar system will be wiped out in a foreseeable future.

    In 5 years, in a generarion, this century?
    I think most people would draw the line at this millennia.
    Historically speaking, the world of our species has always been in a turmoil of great changes with pockets of order and safety.
    During the cold war people lived with the fear that everything could come to an end at any time.

    Only the ignorant seemed to be unaffected.

  • Cowboys in westerns always have standoffs because the one who draws first attempts murder, to draw second is justified self-defense
  • I saw a youtube of a modern cowboy shooting at stuff.
    His hand is already near the gun, like in western movies.
    When the signal comes, Iirc he simultaneously bends his knees, gets in kind of a hunching position and barely pulls the gun out rotating it in hip height towards the target and shoots.
    Unfortunately, I have no link nor a name to the channel.

    It really isn't like it's depicted in those pirate movies or the aristocratic era dueling movies.

  • Woman can only give birth every year.
    A single man on the other hand might impregnate women each and every week, from maturity till his heart stops beating.

    So woman held considerable power in any society and it would only be natural for men to seize the means of reproduction.

    I think that's what happened, historically speaking.

  • Mf formed a tetrarchy.

    He saw that the empire was simply too big to for one emperor and nominated a co-emperor and both together nominated juniors called caesars.
    Hence the name tetrarchy.
    Both caesars were to become augusti themselves and nominate new juniors to follow them.
    The choice was to be made by ability and merrit.

    After diocletian retired and forced his co emperor to retire with him, so the tetrarchy could work, family loyalties caused the death of the system. It was never tried again.

    Diocletians failure was not to see, that the aristocrats were unwilling to ignore family ties.

    Btw.
    Sulla wasn't an emperor but considering in his time he had all the strings of the republic in his hands, I'd like to add him to the list.
    He retired to his villa in naples in lived his days out, if we believe our sources, in a litany of sexual perversions.

  • LMAO REKT
  • Alessia?
    Legendary siege.

    When their supplies ran low, the gauls let the women and children leave the city.
    Caesar didn't let them pass through the siege so with no water they all perished within days bedween the city walls and the inner siege ring.

  • Talking birb > World-changing events
  • Cleopatra should have done the same.
    Pretentious bitch fled the scene "out of womanly anxiety" so we hear.
    Her wing of the naval for e followed and from then on the battle went in favour of Anthony Agrippa.
