To actually answer his question in a real-world environment, it would be somewhat complicated.

You would have to have the wind speed and velocity, and if that was static or dynamic during the duration of the jump. The Cd and CdA would also change throughout the jump as one bent down to jump and extended to jump. That being said, they told me there would be no calculus.

I will give two:

Knipex Pliers Wrench, useful in ways that make you wonder how you ever lived without them




KNipex Cobra water pump pliers, you don't understand how good this type of pliers can be until you use a set of Knipex




There is a reason every manufacturer that makes pliers rushed to attempt to copy them the moment the patents ran out.

I have every size of each up to the 560mm (22") Cobras, and find them all extremely useful except maybe the EDC darling tiny ones.

Just be aware of TSB 25-NA-307

Also be aware if you have a short daily commute you are going to have to drive it for some longer trips occasionally to allow the DPF to run a full cycle.

Hundreds hit a day. Bigger ones we could see from Earth are rare. Artemis II caught a smaller "explosion" on film.

It’s the only way they can go because the more you study science, the more it’s obvious the universe was intelligently designed. And they can’t admit that.

I believe you have to enter with that supposition to exit with it.

I can certainly agree that the universe might be a result, in whole or in part, from intelligent design I have no issue with the idea that out of 100,000,000,000,000^100 chances for any individual result to occur, there is a high probability something seemingly miraculous/impossible will happen.

This war has taught me that bridges are harder to knock down they I appreciated.

I talked a good bit about bridges from a combat engineer's perspective in tOT thread.

They are both incredibly vulnerable and resilient at the same time. When hitting them with drones, bombs, or missiles, they tend to be able to absorb a ton of damage because the explosions are not surgical. On the other hand, a couple of sappers can drop a span with a remarkably small amount of explosives when they can pick the exact spot and direction of the blast. Pre-stressed concrete can be a nightmare because you have to remove so much "insulation" to get to the stressed members.

If you look at, say, the Huey P. Long Bridge, it could survive a lot of bombing damage unless you got lucky, but it is a cantilevered through-truss, so placing properly designed charges on the main bottom chords (they are in tension) would be very effective.
