    No one except Roscosmos and ULA...

    Desperation stinks... go shower or something.

  3. Re: Alloys, as in metallic blends of various eleme on Experts Cast Doubt on 'Alien Alloys' in the New York Times' UFO Story (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Alien alloys and materials would have to be the best kept secret since, ever though.

    If that were correct, this discussion wouldn't be taking place.

    I'm still kinda convinced this is all a big fascinating hoo-hah over nothing.

    You didn't grow up around naval aviators. The folks who land on the decks of carriers are literally the most cool, calm and collected motherfuckers on the planet. If any of them says they were outperformed by an artifact with an otherworldly nature, it happened.

    Yeah, steel mosquito bites... or were you referring to Linda Carter?

    If there's any truth to these reports - big"if" - these would almost definitely be previously unknown "stable island" elements with higher atomic weights than anything we've come across before.

    The die-off will not be televised... unless there's a useful boogeyman who can be blamed.

    They are, as a whole, not results-oriented individuals.

    They nearly always deliver; they're just not the results the serfs *cough* citizens were promised.

    You can see what happens when they don't.

  9. Re: Today's translations: on US Drugmaker Raises Price of Vitamins By More Than 800% (ft.com) · · Score: 0

    Any response will be defecated upon.

    Some will pay extra for that.

    I bet vaginal yeast infections taste better.

  11. Re: We voted against such things on Apple's iPhone Throttling Will Reinvigorate the Push for Right To Repair Laws (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Who's this "we"?

    That would be a small group of people who've studied history and actually understand some of it.

    Zionists aren't anti-Semitic; they just hate Arabs.

  13. Re: No hope of terraforming on Where in the World is Mars' Water? (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    you'd need to try and keep an atmosphere

    Re-spin the core, fire up that magnetic field; voila! Atmosphere contained. I believe there's a documentary where they did something like this.

  14. Re: Keep the bad parts on Republican Lawmaker Introduces Net Neutrality Legislation (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Spoken like a person who gave up hope that her government can do the right thing.

    It's easier just to say "student of history."

    Pretty sure he's not talking about Kemo Sabe...

  16. ...destroying established businesses

    Yeah, the "business" of cab companies handing envelopes of cash to city governments. Fuck cab companies.

  17. Apart from one logical thing, why would you think more advanced aliens would be stupider than us.

    That's easy: the more advanced we get, the dumber we're becoming.

  18. Word is that Clarke got the idea for Rama from his role as a consultant on the Black Knight Satellite...

  19. Re: Could it have hung out in the oort cloud? on Interstellar Object 'Oumuamua' Appears To Be Wrapped In An Organic Insulation Layer (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Slingshotting isn't to gain velocity; it's to change direction without expending fuel/reaction mass.

  20. ...jarring me while driving, almost causing collisions, and inciting a state of panic

    With all due respect and any criticism of the alert system notwithstanding, you do not sound fit to be behind the wheel.

  21. Not the first time you've posted something extremely unimpressive; well done.

  22. You were soundly proven ignorant before you even responded... and then you insisted on uttering more ignorance. Which isotopes, asshole??

    Yeah, so I thought.

    This quote from Tesla's "Fair Use" policy appears to indicate that you're screwed

    Not even remotely, considering this is for cars sold after the 15th. Did none of you RTFA?

    ...satellite images for China can easily be half a kilometer offset. Not to mention that maps are often incomplete or severely outdated. Western companies including Google just don't have access to good cartographic data on China

    This stream of words with no actual thinking involved is rather amusing.
