Typically a "bath" is a complete immersion in a liquid. The result desired varies from chemical treatment to cleaning to coating. The idea is a complete, no exposed surface left untouched, coverage.
The reaction mass in a "conventional" spinning flywheel gyro is called a flywheel. While such a gyro does not expel fuel, it does use a reaction mass.
The spacecraft pushes on the flywheel, the flywheel pushes back, and both accelerate with opposing angular momentum vectors. That is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus it is not a reactionless drive.

There is a difference between what that the bigCs claim or predict and what you are predicting.
Yes, I'd bet with you on all of your predictions, but try this:
Will it rain more or less in England this year than last?
Will it be colder in Moscow this Feb than last Feb.?
Will Ca. have more or less fires this summer than last?
We can extend that to more rain in the next 5 years than the last 5? etc.
The problem is, the bigCs can't even get that right, and when they do notice that they haven't got it right, they try to hide it.
Honest, climate change happens. It has been observed in every form of historical record that we can access and interpret. What's missing from the historical record is "why?".
Today, many bigCs have come out and said "Man is why" and Man we have to change it. Let's assume that they do have it right(and are not hiding the fact that they have it wrong) and temps will climb over the next few centuries. Many, including myself have asked "Who says this climate change is bad?" Man is a tropical creature. It is getting warmer, why not welcome it?
Many bigCs and the politicians that back them demand that exorbitant amounts of resources be spent in an effort to try and combat climate change. Why? What exactly is to be gained from all of this expense? At the moment we cannot even combat a tornado(all we can do is try and duck) and they propose that we take on Nature on a planetary scale?!??! It's ridiculous.
Face it, the climate will change whether we want it to or not. It's natural. Live with it.
You post with such an air of propriety and integrity.

1) Go get yourself a copy of the emails. I'm sure you can find out which ones discuss this or if none of them do, post that or at least a summary. Make yourself a web page where you can post details: emails sent, from/to fields, a list of subjects, etc. Then paste in some ads and Profit! The traffic level will be enormous if you can do this.

I could go further, but I think everyone gets the point.
I'll give you a clue, you've got a long row to hoe if you want to convert quotes that say something like "Let's do this/OK, let's do it" into meaning "Let's do this/No, I will not do this" or as you say "No, they did not".
One more clue, if "they" did not, why are "they" resigning?
It doesn't make any sense and if you note some of the other posts here, if a company asks those types of questions upfront, you probably don't want to work there. IOW, just as if you ask, if they ask it is a bad sign.
Fundamentally anyone can ask you any question about any subject at any time. It's up to you to say "No, I won't answer that question" even(especially) in an interview. If they press on, your response, assuming that you still really do want to work there, should be something along the lines of "Are you making an offer? Are you offering carte blanche?"
Two counters to those that want to know previous compensation:
Ask whoever is asking what the company paid the previous employee in the prospective position.
Assuming that the person asking is the prospective boss, ask what his current pay is.
If he asks why you need to know this, say(in both cases) "I need the information in order to properly evaluate any offer you make. That is, minimum acceptable pay is 10% more than the previous or 10% less than the boss, whichever is greater.";-)
Seriously though, any interviewer that pushes this should probably be interrupted with a polite "I think we're finished with this process" and then you head for the door.
Most non-entry level positions are filled by a process involving multiple interviews of multiple candidates over a period of days or weeks, often involving a pool or team of interviewers and a set of candidates that have made it past the initial filters. One of those filters being "the interview" that you have experienced.
Those candidates that pass the initial filters get further probing, meet more of the current staff, and eventually this results in offers for some and opportunities for them to counter.
There's no way a company making an offer is putting you "on the spot". When they do make an offer, the opportunity to ask the questions you so value becomes available. They say we offer $$$. They also offer XXX PTO, such and such working hours, etc. All of this is part of their offer package and subject to discussion and negotiation from the moment the offer is made until an agreement is reached, not before.
If such questions are so important to you that you must have the answers upfront, just send an email to the HR department before you send in your resume. Doing so will save both of us a lot of time and trouble.
> My guess: pulling tens of terawatts of energy out of the atmosphere will effect the climate.
Nobody is pulling anything *out* of anything. All they are doing is *moving* it.
As the Sun heats the surface, the surface heats the air, the air moves to carry the heat to places that are cooler. As the wind blows it heats the environment due to conduction, radiation, and friction. The energy of the Sun has been moved from warmer to cooler and finally, ultimately, it is radiated back into space.
As the turbine is powered by the wind and generates electricity, the air is cooled, the electricity is transported elsewhere and the energy is ultimately dissipated as heat. Same net result, just a different distribution of the Sun's energy across the surface of the planet. Will it make a difference in the climate? Only locally as places downwind of the wind-farms will be cooler and less windy than otherwise and the places that consume the energy will be warmer than otherwise.
As soon as one tech or another can produce energy for less $$$ than a previous tech, there will be changes.
Cost here is evaluated in the market. It includes things like the cost of bribing politicians, Environmental imPAct surveys, farmers' leases, manufacture, transportation, installation, maintenance, taxes, and on and on. The overall cost of doing business. The only reason that wind(and solar) plants are cropping up is because they are starting to be cost-competitive with existing energy sources.
My collection of music spans stuff written across more than two centuries. Yes, I have a focus on what was coming out when I was young, but that does not preclude me from enjoying stuff that was available 100 years before I was born, nor from enjoying tunes produced after my first grandchild was born.
What does stop me from enjoying(and here I repeat and emphasize) *most* of what is coming out or is otherwise popular today is that *most* of it sucks.

Firefox renders html ebooks just fine. It even does color, various fonts and sizes, a variety of pic formats, video, and even supports bookmarks too!
It's been a long time since I've seen grammar as good as yours in/on/around a /. FA.
By all means YES!, write documentation for your favorite project.
There's no reason to use M$/WinXXX on a convergent mobile device.
Same 'reasons' an iphone does not run an M$ OS.

There's no installed base of .doc oriented apps.
There's no overwhelming majority of users to provide any sort of peer pressure.
There's no library of existing apps/games/utils with which the population of potential users is already familiar.
None of the 'reasons' people use M$ products on PCs apply to the new field of devices.

As I said in another post, it depends.

It has little or nothing to do with "society".
Did you rape and murder my sister while burglarizing her house 15 years ago?
If you did, and you get out of jail, I am going to cut your nuts off, first.
I agree.
Once you've matured you can face yourself, ultimately even laugh at yourself. Is it funny, what that stupid kid did?
Any prospective employer will appreciate the explanation that you gave us.

Your expression "the interview" reveals this.
