    I'd wager less than 1% are authentic.

  3. What makes makes Mars red brown is rust, which is Fe2O3. So if the Iron and Oxygen could be separated, we'd get both building materials and add to the atmosphere. Depending on how much there are we might be able to produce an atmosphere from it, but it'd take a lot of energy.

    Let's build our infrastructure on this planet of rust with iron we extracted from some of the rust!

    Not a problem! Look, Musk is all over it... First, we send a bunch of SolarCity installs to Mars, followed by Powerwalls to provide power during the dark time. Then a big coil of wire around the equator of the planet, and - BAM! - instant magnetic field!

    It's even easier than that! We skip the batteries and just make sure to install solar panels on both sides of the planet - hey, we're wrapping that wire around it anyway, right?

    No, 0/0 doesn't produce ANYTHING. You cannot perform the operation. The original statement is correct.

    When you add, subtract, multiply or divide the "real numbers" used in everyday life, you always get another real number

    You cannot divide by 0. You literally cannot perform that operation. It's not a thing. Thus, there's never a case when the quoted statement is incorrect.

    2020? What happened to all the investigations? Surely they should be paying off by now.
    Do they have to restart because it was exposed that the entire thing was bought and paid for by the DNC?
    Or are they waiting for the #BlueWave in 2018? Surely, they'd be able to get shit done in 2019 if that were the case!
    If you're talking about the 2020 election, then even if Trump loses he'll still be President throughout the entire year.

    All the moves he's made in Russia's favor and the disgusting sycophancy he's shown around Putin is raising and should raise a lot of questions.

    It's called diplomacy.

    I'm sorry if you think wanting to maintain good relations with our allies (yes, Russia is our ally) is bad. I'm sorry if you think peace between the Koreas is bad.

    Trump is going down in flames faster each second : https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/25...

    Trump is not in violation of any of the several "emoluments" clauses. Foreign business interests are fine and do not constitute a violation. Such clauses are designed to prevent foreign nations from installing their own agents to our offices. You'd have to show that he was being directly influenced by a foreign official or head of state. I know that's the popular idea over in CNN land, but in the real world you'd need proof (or even a shred of evidence) to start barking up that tree.

    Further, the Senate has the authority to grant exceptions. So even if you imagine digging up some super secret dirt in your little fantasy land, you'd need to flip the senate to do anything about it.

    Take a look in the mirror, and smile. The Incisors and Canines in your mouth evolved primarily for eating meat,

    Nope. Gorillas have massive canines but they never eat meat.

    And that's why they're stuck where they are. If you eat meat you have a much better and more efficient source of protein, and your brain develops much better.

    It doesn't suggest anything.

    If I were to argue that the volume of a sphere is four thirds pi times the radius cubed, would I need to prove it? Or cite a proof?
    Would some asshole asking for a citation deserve the time of day? Would their arguments on the matter be relevant?

    The person made a VERY simple claim that was VERY easy to QUICKLY verify. You can argue the semantics of it all you want (supplier, dealer, etc.) but the brunt of the argument was factual and true - Tesla is asking for a retroactive discount on some of their contracts. Anyone who cared could have verified that instantly, and anyone worthy of discussing the topic should be aware of those relevant facts before coming to the table.

    Fewer than 10? Unless it's fewer than 1, it's still some, and it's still Tesla begging for cash.

    Ongoing contracts are contracts with prices negotiated in the past. Tesla wants a cheaper price now because they're bleeding cash. They want a bail out. please show examples of other automakers doing this. Please show how everyone says this is normal and expected behavior, and not desperation.

    Nobody cares what the suppliers did. They did something for money, and Tesla is the little piggy going whaaa whaaa whaaa all the way home because they want a lower price after the fact.

    Oh, okay. Pass the crystal ball over here when you're done with it.
