    So you are advocating pulling the plug on quadripelegics, because they have no motor control? You people disgust me. She has full consciousness and ability to think. She can communicate by blinking. Why don't they just ask her?

    If she has higher brain function, and from the summary it seems she has full higher brain function, pulling the plug without asking her would be murder.

    No it's not. The slow clap is heartfelt and genuine. Haven't you seen Cool Runnings?

  5. Re:Stronger? on The Brakes That Stop a 1,000 MPH Bloodhound SSC · · Score: 5, Informative

    Acttually I went to the article, the summary is pretty misleading. The carbon brakes have to rotate with the wheels. At 1000mph they are turning 10,000 rpm and failed under the stresses, When it's time to stop the car airbrakes are deployed which slow the car to 160mph when conventional disk brakes are employed. The carbon brakes would certainly be more effective from 160mph to 0mph, but can't withstand 10,000rpm.

    It's funny that whenever someone points out what a terrible mistake a lot of people made voting for Obama, they always become a Republican. It's also strange that I can't seem to find anyone who voted for Obama in 2012, even among my reliably left-wing friends.

    Does it just sit in there until someone lets it out? You're dumping enough energy to get a car up to 1000mph hour into a coil. That coil better be very large, and have a huge heatsink or you're going to have a fire.

    Fuck you and your moral equivalency. This is now, and the Obama administration is doing it. You obviously voted for the guy, it's time for you to admit your mistake and call it for what it is.

    I'm not sure I agree with some of the specifics you have described. I think you have nailed some of the broader themes. Some people so rigidly adhere to the concept of tolerance, that they are blind to the fact that they have become incredibly intolerant.

    Really, where is this environmental destruction product they sell? They don't sell environmental destruction, they sell legal products, and follow regulations that your fucking EPA makes. I know progressives hate libertarians. Progressives can't call themselves liberal any more because really they are just authoritarian fascists. The Koch brothers just happen to be the Great Satan of the day, that progressives use to project all of their problems onto.

    Al Gore's wealth is particularly delicious, considering CurrentTV was purchased with Middle Eastern oil money. Someone once said, "I'll believe we're in a crisis, when the people who say we're in a crisis, start acting like we're in a crisis." Screw every last one of them.
