Even with smooth deceleration, the earth bulges at the equator due to centrifugal force. If you decelerate smoothly, you pass through the zero-point (no rotation) which would mean the bulge would have to disappear. This wouldn’t happen smoothly, it would happen in bursts that we call earthquakes. And then the bulge reappears once the centrifugal force is restored in the opposite spin, again in bursts.
A G is 35 km/h per second, i.e. under a 1 G acceleration you go from 0 to 35 km/h in a second, which means 96 seconds where gravity feels like it’s at a 45 degree angle and 41% stronger in order to reverse directions.
Alternatively, if you target a 89° angle (1° off from normal) then it takes 90 minutes to reverse and is less than a percent stronger.
Iron country/political/etc flags, sure.
Don’t iron queer flags
Would that not have happened in the UK too? I mean i guess depending on how recent, cause i know the NHS is being gutted.
But like, I’m Canadian, and my brother had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumour. I would not have been born if my parents got saddled with millions in debt from that. They’re certainly not wealthy enough to have private insurance - although tbf that’s not a normal thing here compared to the states because the government provides everyone with free insurance with tax money. But even if it was so normalized, my parents would not have had private insurance.
Whatever, point is I think having your life financially ruined by getting cancer is an America thing (and many poor countries unfortunately)
My point is “really hot” and “really cold” are not useful reference points to ascribe to, no matter what numbers you’re using. If i was coming up with a measurement system for brightness and i said 1000 was “really bright” would you be able to tell me anything about 500? No because you literally have no reference frame for what i mean by “really bright”. It’s the same thing when Americans describe Fahrenheit to the rest of the world. You have to experience the data points, and at that point, whether you use 0 to 100, -20 to 40, or 250 to 310, it doesn’t matter. You will just intuitively understand the scale and so there’s no inherent benefit.
