off-nominal insertion

When something doesn't go where all the players involved think it is going to go. Equally applicable when talking about putting spacecraft in orbit as it is when PIV aim gets a little off and ends up in surprise buttsecks.

You're aiming a little low there, big fella, going to end up with an off-nominal insertion if you poke any harder!

Flori-cal linear induction tube

This is a fantasy super high speed rail deep underground which makes it possible to travel from florida to california in 3 hours! The inspiration for this idea comes from donald fagens early '80s hit single "I gy this verse specifically: 'on that train all graphite and glitter under sea by rail 90 minutes from New York to Paris well by :76 we'll be a-ok! What a beautiful ❤️ world 🌎 this will be what a glorious. Time to be free!'

We caught the
Flori-cal linear induction tube at noon in Miami and 3 hours later we arrived in San Diego at noon local. We went to the zoo then caught a bite to eat at horton plaza and made it in time for an 8pm curtain at the San Diego Opera
It let out at 11pm so we made it back to the station for some drinks then we caught the 2am local flori-cal for a 3 hour ride back to Miami and arrived there at 8am local time!

Woman's intuition

A woman's intuition is like a superpower that a woman is born with, and it remains with her forever. It is this little albeit powerful voice inside of her spirit. Like a good cop trying to protect her, it warns her of dangerous situations. It will likely save her life several times. A woman's intuition is a gift from God.

Keshia: You gotta hear this.
Faith: What is it?
Keshia: A few weeks ago, a guy asked me out, but I turned him down because I had an uneasy feeling about it. This morning, I was watching the news, and I saw that that same guy was arrested for assault. I'm lucky I didn't go with him.
Faith: That ain't luck, that's your woman's intuition.

Fallacy of Impossible Induction

The mistaken belief that because complete induction (examining every case) is impossible, no inductive conclusion can be trusted. This fallacy rejects all generalizations on the grounds that we haven't examined every instance—ignoring that induction works by sampling, not census. It's the logic of "you haven't read every book, so you can't say books exist," of "you haven't met every French person, so you can't generalize about French culture." The fallacy of impossible induction is beloved of those who want to dismiss well-supported generalizations by demanding impossible standards of proof. It's a cousin of the perfect knowledge fallacy, and just as paralyzing.

Fallacy of Impossible Induction Example: "She cited studies showing the benefits of exercise. He responded with the fallacy of impossible induction: 'But you haven't studied every person who ever exercised. How do you know it works for everyone?' She said science doesn't require studying everyone; it requires representative samples. He said that wasn't proof. She said that was how proof works. He remained unconvinced, which was his right, but also his loss."

Fallacy of Exhaustive Induction

The mistaken belief that only exhaustive induction—examining every possible case—can establish truth. This fallacy rejects all probabilistic, statistical, or sampling-based reasoning as insufficient, demanding certainty that is rarely available and never necessary. It's the logic of "you can't prove all swans are white until you've seen every swan," ignoring that science doesn't prove in that sense. The fallacy of exhaustive induction is the mirror image of the fallacy of impossible induction: both set impossible standards, one by rejecting induction entirely, the other by demanding a form of induction that's rarely possible. Together, they form a pincer movement against any empirical claim.

Fallacy of Exhaustive Induction Example: "He demanded exhaustive proof that climate change was real: 'Have you measured every temperature reading everywhere on Earth for the last hundred years?' No, because that's impossible. But you don't need exhaustive proof; you need representative proof. He demanded the impossible and therefore rejected the possible. The fallacy had done its work: blocking belief with an unmeetable standard."
