25% is even way too low. Factor of Safety is the term you're looking for, which is generally 2x or more depending on the field. Most of the equipment I've ever worked on had a minimum 3x safety factor meaning the actual limits were 3x what the ratings indicated.

A quick search gave me the result of a safety factor of at least 2 for rigging and recovery components on vehicles.

Most people would see it that way, yes.

You can see the AI's process though. It split the query into two parts: [a red ball balancing on] a [white ball with a blue ball on top]. So it threw a blue ball onto a white ball, then balanced a red on top. I'm guessing sentence formatting would help.

If you spelled them right then you'd see they are actual words. You could've even just copied and pasted them from the article. I appreciate that you tried to sound them out and spell them on your own, though.

Sure, we can agree on that depending on your definition of evil people. To target civilians indiscriminately is not a good thing, though. It's bad when the IDF does it and it's bad when Hamas does it. Resistance is not killing random people because of where they live, that's terrorism. Resistance is fighting your oppressors.

I very much doubt that Hamas hand picked their targets on Oct 7. I doubt that those who died, or were taken hostage, were all evil people hellbent on eradicating Palestinians. They died and were taken hostage simply because of where they were at the time.

Hi, I don't think it's crazy to think the CCP owns (or rather controls) it, but I don't think it even matters. They've clearly chosen to operate a certain way.

Big tech companies (fuck you Reddit) and governments will shout about the CCP and how nobody can trust that their privacy is respected on Chinese platforms (not disputing this), or how they censor dissenting speech, but then you see how those same invasive measures are implemented in a more subtle way on non-Chinese platforms.

I have an easier time imagining that it's just lessons learned from the CCP and others regardless of the organization's (fuck you Reddit) nationality. It's a matter of money, or power, or both, because they (fuck you Reddit) have no values and will bend the knee to authoritarians so that they can operate in those countries and feed off of their people too.

He's still the leader of the opposition. This wasn't an election between parties, this was the liberals choosing a new leader. We'll see if the Liberals can hold off the Conservatives before elections are here.

Great example, exactly as expected. Life must be good up on that high horse. It's always the most sensitive snowflakes.

Have a great day anyway, dummy.

He's a political outsider. I'd love to hear about all of the political experience he has that don't make him an outsider POLITICALLY. I'll wait.

Mark Carney is 100% pro status quo, pro establishment, pro big business. We can agree on that without being so dramatic.

And if we can't avoid being dramatic, then I'll pose a dramatic question based on your response in a manner similar to your responses. If Mark Carney IS the system, then our problems go away if he's not elected, right? After all, you said he IS the system, not a part of it.

Thanks for your well rounded contribution. Yes, in the context it was written, he is a political outsider. No need to be so sensitive about it.

I'm of the opinion he will be more of the same while being quieter about things than Trudeau was, but people sort of want some financial literacy within government and Trudeau's Liberals were not that. Carney certainly wouldn't be my first choice but looking at the other options it's not rocket science to see why he was chosen.

.......the voters did when polled or asked. There's other reasons but that is a big one.

For question two, the rest of the Liberal party decided that.

Like, are you at all informed about Canadian politics at the moment or are you just shooting from the hip?

Edit: Carney is not a politician, btw. I mean, sure, now he is. But that's not his background. He is an outsider politically speaking.
