If you're emitting something, even inside of a closed cavity, THERE MUST BE INITIAL THRUST/PUSH OFF OF THE EMITTING MATERIAL, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE
In order to have net thrust, you have to emit something outside the cavity, at which point it becomes a normal rocket, subject to conservation of momentum and the Tsiolkovsky Equation.
This thing is like sticking two magnets on the ends of a box, and expecting the magnet in front to pull the magnet in back forward. (And, yes, I've read the theory paper, which is batshit crazy.)
Ok, Mr. Smartypants, explain how they have confirmed from multiple reproductions and analyses how it actually does do all those things you say it doesn't.
That's all? I'm fully prepared for the Armored Space Nutter division to come out in full force waving their Star Trek box sets and preparing their trip to Andromeda.
Russian intelligence agents using hacking to exert influence on a U.S. presidential election should be HUGE news. Maybe now that a news organization is a direct victim, it will be.
I assume that Putin hasn't bothered to target FOX because it's mostly about newsbabes with big tits in red dresses anyway. And why mess with that?
And does the Constitution say the census must be conducted door-to-door salesmen style rather than by the plethora of other ways we have to know how many citizens live in which district?
Sacre bleu! Why didn't those dolts at the Census Bureau think of this!
Deadpool was utterly fabulous. The only problem with it is that it will undoubtedly spawn innumerable copycats with input from studio executives, that will be so bad they make your brainstem bleed.
Then you should read the Vanity Fair review: " Suicide Squad is ultimately too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting. At least revolting would have been something."
My bad. here is the main paper referred to in TFA (although the one I posted is also referenced.).
However, the point stands: the press report is breathless hype of one very small study, with only 23 patients and a threshold of p , using a largely subjective test as a measure. That doesn't mean the study is wrong, but it does mean that everybody running out and buying blue blocking sunglasses to fight bipolar disorder is an insane and utterly unscientific response.
Not long ago, we were all being told that illumination that mimics natural sunlight cures Seasonal Affective Disorder. Now we're being told it causes insomnia and bipolar disorder. If you look at the original article, the effect is tiny at best.
Never mind that nothing fits the definition of "common carrier" better than a service which sends packets over the inter-tubes. If the Cable Co's want to argue in court that they aren't common carriers, that is terribly dangerous for them: it sets a precedent that means that they are not afforded the protections given common carriers under the law, most important immunity from prosecution for transmission of illegal content.
... so much for anybody ever using a British ISP for anything. Aren't "conservatives" supposed to support corporate interests, instead of killing businesses outright?
I wonder what women will do when they're effectively made obsolete when it comes to sexual gratification. It's literally the only thing that gives them power over men.
If you ever find one desperate enough to sleep with you, maybe you can ask her.
Newspapers can decline to cover whatever stories they wish. TV news can decline to show whatever footage they wish. Facebook is a private company, and can block whatever content it chooses to block.
The only really scary thing here is the fact that "two thirds of Americans get their news from social media". No wonder the country is so fucked up.

Measurement error, and/or outright scientific misconduct.

Never give up! Never surrender!
How does the energy efficiency of this drive compare to a normal rocket?
Zero, since it doesn't actually provide thrust.
Could this allow interstellar travel, by humans, within a normal human lifespan?
No, because it doesn't work.
What kind of reletavistic effects happen at high speed?
With this rocket, you'll never find out.
I would assume thrust would drop as you approach C.
No, because thrust is zero to begin with.
Who are "Lawrence, Vera, Sylvester, Brady and Bailey"? Their cats?
Did Cook actually 'refute' the conclusion, or did he just disagree with it? Those are very, very, different things.
I think he was arguing that Ireland is a "tax distortion zone".
Note to nimbius: look up the term "useful idiot".
Especially since that term is attributed to Lenin.

Sacre bleu! Why didn't those dolts at the Census Bureau think of this!
Oh, wait, they did: The 2020 Census Operational Plan includes a goal of "Knock on doors only when necessary".
You're aware that the census is legally mandated in the Constitution, right?
Time to make the fucking chimichangas!

Suddenly I'm motivated to read reviews again.
Then you should read the Vanity Fair review: " Suicide Squad is ultimately too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting. At least revolting would have been something."
Do these idiots even remotely understand how Rotten Tomatoes works? All they do is aggregate critics' reviews. They don't review the movie themselves.
Typo: Should read "threshhold of p less than 0.05".

OB xkcd, and OB PhD Comics.

Careful what you wish for, Comcast.
All cars should have black boxes.

This means that Pence won't be running for governor of Indiana. Which means he's going to be out of office entirely come 2017.
I wonder what women will do when they're effectively made obsolete when it comes to sexual gratification. It's literally the only thing that gives them power over men.

"Do you want to have sex or do you want to have a virtual reality experience of sex?"
Both. At the same time.
Back in the day, "Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain" was what Hearst shoved down everyone's throats.
Hearst's papers also documented the Spanish concentration camps in Cuba, which were responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
