Yes, in elevators usually one cable could hold far more than the full weight, than they add 6 more for the safety.
For rail speed limits this is the exact way they calculate it. For road speed limits they consider break distance, which grows by the square of your speed, so if you go 120 on 60 road, you will need 4 times the distance to stop. I wrote 1.5 as a safety factor, not 4, With a 1.5 safety factor you can go by 75 though, but I would use a 1.1 safety there, as in my country the speed cameras are set up that way, you can go +10% of the official speed limit, they only send a cheque if you went even quicker than that.

It’s not wrong, it’s close enough. And the point it works with more numbers and more type of calculation. Let’s calculate 4% of 1243. That’s the same as 1243% of 4, right, much easier to calculate by simply changing the 2 numbers… While my method is the same, by simply rounding everything.
And in engineering you always multiply/divide your results by a 1.5 or 1.25 safety factor, depending on situation. So you don’t have to calculate exact results, just close enough. E.g. G is always 10m/s2. π is only 3.14, the other digits doesn’t matter.

My engineering brain says it’s 3.25.
4% is ~ 5%. 10% of 75 if 7.5. To get the 5% I have to divide it by 2, so 4% of 75 is close to 3.25. I will have to multiply it with some safety coefficient at the end, so the exact value doesn’t matter.

I noticed first the text is not center aligned perfectly and the messed up apostrophe. If they couldn’t even add the text manually, I guess everything is just pure lazyness.

No, hecto and deca are also not capitalized. The rule should be, uppercase if more than 10^3. Or simply the change between upper and lowercase is between 10^3 and 10^6, not at 1.
It grinds my gears much more, that all the letters are latin, except μ.

It seems you haven’t heard about “the Thing”:
The Thing, also known as the Great Seal bug, was one of the first covert listening devices (or “bugs”) to use passive techniques to transmit an audio signal. It was concealed inside a gift given by the Soviet Union to W. Averell Harriman, the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union, on August 4, 1945. Because it was passive, needing electromagnetic energy from an outside source to become energized and active, it is considered a predecessor of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology
So 80 years ago they had the technology to listen to you without electricity, it could be anywhere, even in the framing.

Not the same text, just very similar.
Some internet investigation:
She wore that cloth on 2022-10-24 in the Tonight Show, clip is uploaded one day later: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTozcxvFDtM
So that’s the earliest possible date, your screenshot is from 2023, so that’s not the joke of Emma, she just stole it.
The earliest post I could find on the net is from reddit, it was posted on 2022-10-27, 3 days later: old.reddit.com/…/taylor_swift_british_nautical_en…

I like those jokes better which not based on lies. In the era of post truth I like to maintain some basic standards.

Apparently that’s not true:
The Rolling Stone piece additionally addressed and debunked various internet rumors that had spread about Blake, such as that her parents were defense contractors, and that she had died at the Burning Man festival.

This is the first time I heard about this woman.

Adblockers don’t work on facebook. They deliberately obfuscate html, screen readers also don’t work the there for the same reason. If you still have an account check it in the inspector, they put each letter in a separate div and do other shenangians

This should be related to the Bosnian war, that happened 30 years ago. The 30th anniversary of Srebrenica massacre will be in this month, as it happened between July 11 and 31 in 1995
