Grocery Gateway is fantastic. Great customer service. They seem to be genuinely concerned that their customers get what they want.
My wife stays at at home with our son, and she doesn't drive. With all the coupons and such, it usually costs her $4 (Canadian) per delivery. Their time is worth more than that, and they can spend it at the playground instead of at the crocery store.
More importantly, it must be a standalone effort, because humans cannot get to the L2 point. It is more than 3 times farther than the Moon, and as far as I know, we can't get there either---not without resurrecting some rockets from the 1970s.
Any service missions would need to be entirely automated, which probably makes them impossible.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Ok, thanks again. I have read in other places that peak torque is also peak fuel efficiency, but I'm not sure I buy that.

Thanks for the info. Not knowing anything, I would have thought the lower the revs, the better, at least until you hit idle speed (say 700rpm). How did you pick 2100?

Cool. How did you calculate the right gear ratio to optimize fuel efficiency? Do you have a reference?
This must be a mistake. They can't give away 1TB of free disk space at today's prices. Disks still cost about $1/GB. Even if they could get half price with bulk discounts, and another ten times better by reclaiming empty space from one account to give to another, no company can afford to give away $50 of disk space for free to anyone who signs up.

Yes, or just don't drive over 100kph (or, say, 60mph if you are in a country that still uses miles). Driving at 120kph uses a lot more gas.
Bull. The letters and misspellings were substituted to get around automated profanity filters on BBSes. So you could say thinks like fuxor and a55h0le which would otherwise be disallowed.
That's a bit like saying "I just learned how to ride my bike to the Bonnevile salt flats. Next step: break the sound barrier!"
What they are doing is reaching 100km with zero velocity. What an orbital flight requires is 7km/s velocity. In fact, to sustain an orbit also requires several times that altitude to eliminate atmospheric drag.
Having said that, I am not a rocket scientist, so I could be wrong.

You poor deluded sucker. Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave.
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
The delivery guys have a route, like a paper route, for regular customers. The delivery cost in that case is quite low.
If you don't like the Tomatoes they deliver, take your business elsewhere.

The aspect ratio doesn't matter. No aspect ratio would require bars on all four sides.
Webb has nothing to do with space shuttles.

You make it sound like every dollar spent on the space program is wrested from the hands of starving peasants.

You know Africa is not a country, right?
It's simpler than that. You are a professional when the activity in question is your profession.
Yes, it is ironic. SCO behaves as though illegal copying is a moral sin, yet they do it themselves. See meaning 2 here.
How is that relevant?
Maybe it's because CSET was already trademarked by IBM. (Though it's a different industry, so that may not actually matter.)
