5 meters is definitely way too short for the chair swing ride. Look at the people in the seats. It's definitely at least 10 meters.

Assuming 10 meters and 100 km/h, that gives about 7.9 g. That's in the range of what fighter pilots might experience and well beyond where most people black out, so that's still definitely too high.

Looking it up online, this is a pretty classic physics problem and the numbers you might see around it are closer to a radius of 12 meters and a speed of 13 to 17 m/s. Taking that as 15 m/s (54 km/h), that works out to about 1.9 g, which I can subjectively say feels much closer to the real value if you ever ride on one of these.

So, the second one is about 1.9 g

It's not reasonable to assume that most people are going to self-host, or even how to go about doing that if they wanted to, but people still deserve a right to privacy and products that support that. I think that's what they were trying to say

So given the absurd cost of missiles and military equipment in general, that can't be more than what, a few missiles?

There are billions of cows, chickens, etc. in the world. Purely by numbers, those species are incredibly successful. Yet, If not for humans finding them tasty and easy to manage, we would not have bred them to this degree and they wouldn't have reached this degree of success. Somehow, against all odds, being tasty/something we want to eat has somehow become an incredibly valuable and successful adaptation.

Evolution is absolutely wild, and this really drives home the fact that evolution isn't about the individual's likelihood of survival, but their likelihood of reproduction.

To be fair, this one isn't The Onion but rather another similar site. (Obviously your point still stands though)

"No Patrick, the AfD is no alternative" (AfD = "Alternative für Deutschland", or "Alternative for Germany")

This is actually The Beaverton

I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.

Zenni is pretty good. My current pair is from Firmoo and is also pretty good. Goggles4u has also worked fine for me, but they took ages to ship.

I've unironically been using this font ever since I found it a year or two ago. I find it makes it so much easier to read everything. I've even suggested it to others. It's actually a decent font.
