Why not make a paint ball - filled with wretched smelling stuff/tear gas, etc - incapacitate the whole boat. Or make it filled with infra red visible paint - then the Navy can do a flyover, pick out the boat and sink it.
Yes, but it WILL have gone kablooey - which is the cool part.
Actually what the cool part is, is that they are detecting so many compounds (complex organic ones too) in the stars ejected gas shell. They think that this type of star seeds/forms other stars and planets with higher weight elements and complex compounds. Another step in the understanding how life came about.
There is a strong genetic basis to this, and that's why eugenics tends not to work, among other things. Yes the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, and that's why tall parents have tall kids, but over time these traits revert back to the mean, and so you will see average/short kids being born to tall parents (mailman genes excluded, but this helps too).
25 years driving - I've never had one, neither has my sis, nor brother, nor Mom, nor Dad, nor best friend, etc. That's just 0 in 200 years driving experience
Found a few flat tires when I've left my car overnight, from a nail picked up though.
if you look at the same volume, since muscle is mostly water, and fat is well, fat. Last time I looked fat floated on water, and this means it's less dense. Note that the original poster didn't mention per pound - that was your mistake.
well - actually about 0.6 or so, and since a pound of fat is about 3500 kcal of energy, an average sized person (150 lbs) would need to run/walk 38 miles to burn a pound of fat - or I could just eat half portions for 3 days.
The study says they just lost a little weight, not none at all.
Honestly - do people refuse to accept responsibility for their actions, or lack of actions anymore? The purpose of jail isn't really to punish anyone, but rather to keep them off the playground until they can "play nice". If law is going to say that genes controll the way we behave, then will Italian courts start locking people up for having certain genes because they will tend to be violent?
Considering accidents are probably proportional to traffic density, then comparing Jersey to the other states on the list, the drivers are superb. What do you think the population density is in those others states?
Interesting note - having lived in many of the states on the eastern seaboard, and now California (don't get me started how BAD the drivers are here), New Jersey drivers (and NYC drivers) appear to me to very good. New Jersey also has some of the highest insurance premiums as well.
Would be nice to look at safety vs insurance costs - i.e. it costs too much to get into an accident, so people drive more safely.
That's all I want - a watch printed on my shirtcuff - they can put the read out on the cuff, and have the guts somewhere in the yoke where the fabric is thicker.
The Neanderthal pelvis had the acetabulum (hip socket) about 4 inches anterior(in front) to the sacrum (where spine connects to pelvis), and this is roughly the same for modern humans. The Neanderthal did have , what appears to be a broader and deeper pelvis than ours.
I'm an orthopaedic surgeon (fix bones, replace hips, etc) and the skeletal differences in the extremeties, and axial (central) skeleton are substantial. HUGE flaired rib cage - much more lung volume and abdominal protection. Hips much more of a varus angle than ours ( are closer to a right angle - most humans are around 135 deg), and also more offset in their hips. Broader pelvis -hell all the bones just appear "beefier" - I'm guessing these guys were strong as all hell. Even the spine seems re-inforced compared to modern humans, who appear much sleeker.
Neanderthal = power weight lifter. Homo Sapiens Sapiens = long distance runner.
Make the flywheel brittle - like a ceramic or like those shotgun rounds that disintegrate when breaching a door. That way if containment is breached, it turns into powder.
That's exactly the idea, although Toyota had a neat video of a robot doing exactly the same thing, but from under the car. Having the large battery mass in the center of the vehicle, and low, makes sense for weight distribution.
As E-cars become more popular, and battery tech evolve, standardized batteries will evolve. When this happens, there might be "switching stations" where you can grab a freshly charged battery pack, and swap it in for the old discharged one. A "gas station" could charge you $10 for labor to do it, and still make more money than they would for selling a regular tank of gas.
Because all that energy is transferred to the occupants in a crash, and most people really, really don't like that. Even 10-15 MPH can hurt pretty bad, especially in an old clunker like that.
I'm an orthopaedic surgeon, and wind up taking care of a lot of people from car accidents. Even a 10 MPH crash is enough to cause whiplash. Car repairs are much, much cheaper than hospital bills, and there are some things that we aren't still good at fixing like cartilage damage, and whiplash - who likes chronic pain?
Movies, education - it all adds our value to the world, and helps usually to beneficially influence those who come to live here and study. Kicking out thousands of CHinese students is like getting rid of thousands of allies.
Coal releases every year more radiation into the atmosphere than all the nuke power accidents combined. Lots of greenhouse gases too -and so it will not be a long term feasible solution if we are to solve the global warming problem.
Nuke and solar power will be long term solutions, and probably solar will be the best.
I couldn't agree with you more, and there was a recent/. article about a week ago on that. Texting just serves as a distraction in important situations, and isn't much different in having someone take a break every few minutes to go chat with someone at the water fountain.
American , I believe, name ships in the same group all starting with the same first letters - George, goober, and Gork. The british name thiers after a common theme - Hatchet, Axe,Chopper - I dunno.
So conceptual vs similar sounding - some work better than others for various people. Not one solution is perfect for everyone.

Loosely paraphrased here
79% of the time it is 100% accurate

Usually results in a shortened lifespan of the pump.
Personally I'd rather just update to Neurons 2.0

The 2 seater sportscar Tesla cost over $100K, but the sedan costs around $49k.
0-60 in 5.6 seconds too, with 230 and 300 mile ranges
WOW!

MIght be more fun spearing the drive with that -as it as a better weapon for going thru plate armor
