By it's very definition a balance in independent of gravity. The balance will remain the same and that 1Kg *of mass* will work just as well if you try this experiment on Jupiter.
Although if you’re attempting this on Jupiter, you’ll likely be distracted due to asphyxiation and crushing pressure - so work fast.
Lots of flies and gnats and creatures like that? Then head to Oklahoma!
How about excessive humidity? They’ve got that in spades!
When I was a kid, we used to drive through Oklahoma every summer as part of our annual trip from our west coast home to visit my dad’s family in Indiana (speaking of bugs and excessive humidity...). Oklahoma was roughly where the environment started getting unpleasant.
I'm not sure what carbon dating could have to do with this anyway, since carbon dating generally involves the uptake of carbon by biologic systems.
Not to mention that 14C has a half-life of only ~ 5700 years.
Some ice cores from central Greenland have shown undisturbed annual layering (looking at the stable isotope 18O) going back to 125K years... so I would think either this impact occurred before that, or else the region affected by the impact did not reach to the center of the island.
In three or four years are we going to see an announcement that all the “Alphabet” companies are being brought under the Google umbrella, and going forward Alphabet will be known as Google?
“In 2009, the Walt Disney Co. bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion, and most of the top-grossing superhero films of all time -- led by The Avengers' $1.52 billion worldwide take in 2012 -- featured Marvel characters.”
Thanks for so many filling so many of my childhood days with fun and adventure, Stan. You put so much thought and imagination into your characters... I just wish this obit-piece writer had put at least a few seconds into proof-reading this.
Wow.. I didn't know it was the future already. My Ears 2011 Mac Book Pro is stuck on High Sierra because it doesn't have the graphics hardware needed to make it to Mojave....
So yeah, I may have a desk full of Apple hardware, but I can see that Apple can't br trusted to keep supporting systems for more than 5 years.
A couple problems with this.
- It’s 2018, and 10.14 Mojave was just released. To this point your device has already been supported for 7 years.
- Apple maintains the three most recent releases of its OS. With the release of Mojave, Apple stopped patching 10.11 El Capitan. Your current OS, 10.13 High Sierra*, will continue to receive security patches for another 2-3 years.
So your “5 years” has suddenly turned into a decade.
* Also a classic movie starring Ida Lupino and Humphrey Bogart.
Seriously - what the heck was he thinking? He should’ve just kept his trap shut and continued to collect the big bucks. And his sales team could’ve quietly used “you know, Amazon relies on our database products for its mission-critical systems” as a major selling point.
In times of crisis, sometimes the government has to go beyond the law. And clearly we are in a crisis, since illegal immigrants are murdering you right now.
I didn’t even know this “service” existed. I just signed up for it - not because I want it, but because I didn’t want somebody else to sign up in my place. I’ll probably never look at it.
This could make for an awesome device. I currently own both a phone and a tablet simply because there are so many things which work better with a tablet - but a tablet has obvious, significant portability issues.
Whether this is truly game-changing, though, will come down to the mundane details regarding just how reliable and durable the tech turns out to be.
Unfortunately I've been called a few times but dismissed during voir dire every time except once, when the defendant did not show up.
I got bumped during noir dire as well - prosecutor didn't like that I said I couldn't convict someone if I thought the particular law under which a person was charged was morally unjust (which was not applicable to the case we were on, and I went to lengths to make it clear that I wasn't referring to it).

Colorado, though? I loved Colorado.
Can you dig it?
Only if you’re getting good grades.
The opposing army should just bring a bunch of really gigantic boxes into the field with them, then refuse to look in them.
The losses of the Chinese Air Force will be astounding!
With that much money, they could afford to purchase both a Dyson fan AND a Dyson vacuum cleaner for each of their dorm rooms!
Who in Google's marketing department came up with that?
Think of all the sidewalk cafes unceremoniously destroyed by this meteor...

I am holding put options on tulips.
They're probably more likely to follow an illegal order. Also, it's easier to cover up their deaths.

Let Evers do it!
What about Tinker and Chance?

For your comparison, you should probably also include at least part of the cost of internet access. Cable TV doesn't require it; streaming does.

I missed a bit of my sarcasm tag there. The Lawyers rate you as unsuitable, not that you're actually unsuitable.
Don't worry, I interpreted it that way the first time. I realize I'm unlikely to be chosen, but I show up when asked.
Shouldn't we first find out if people have an informed view of the issues on the ballot before we encourage them to go out?
Too many people think "informed view" means "believes the same thing I do".
I want people to vote even if they disagree with me on every issue - but that's just me.
