Dude, you can install a wheelchair ramp at a discotheque but good luck suing the joint because you didn't get laid. I think you are confusing the application with the people who are swiping.
I paid a flat fee for X amount of access. I hardly ever went over.
Then either you used CompuServe in the late 1990's, or you are confusing it with another service. CompuServe never had flat rates until 1997. It was always hourly and the minimum was $6/hr for 300 baud. Heck I even remember the dial in number for my node in Montreal: 3748961... because of the amount of times I had to type ATDT3748961....
I can't help how you feel, but usually the next step after being offended is calling for it to stop with censorship or a ban - you do NOT have that right.
You're not forced to download it and use it. Let other people do what they want instead of getting "offended" over stuff that has nothing to do with you.
I would consider it a gradient. I've been out with chubby girls, that's no problem. But at some point it just becomes gross if the skin flaps are bigger than the boobs...
Case in point. I'm sure your mommy loved you and you had value to her. However to me your value is less than zero. Therefore value is not absolute. QED.
CompuServe DID charge that much. Either you're remembering wrong or you came in after they adjusted their fees downwards. As a gamer (Island of Kesmai and MegaWars III) I would rack up very large bills. I know very well that it was $6/hr, plus I had to pay an $0.80 surcharge/connection fee because I called from Canada.
If he had wanted it pronounced Jif, he should have spelled it as.JIF and not expect the whole world to violate some basic rules of grammar to satisfy him. But hey, CompuServe used to bill people $6/hr (300 baud) or $12/hr (1200 baud) so it's understandable they might be a bit full of themselves.
Let me clarify something: here at sea level the greatest factor that keeps particle energy low is the presence of collisions with other particles. If you add energy you increase the collisions, and the aggregate ends up being an increase in pressure and/or volume. Collisions become more frequent = increased pressure, and increased particle speed = greater distance between particles = greater volume. Now imagine at the edge of space where the atmosphere is rarefied. There is massive distance between particles. Collisions between particles are very rare. If you add energy to THAT, well all the energy goes to increasing particle velocity because there's nothing to collide with. When you have a solar wind particle coming in at a million miles per hour colliding with an atmospheric particle (or several), momentum is conserved and that particle easily reaches escape velocity.
Google is your friend. Moving electrical charges create magnetic fields, this is basic physics. Likewise magnetic fields exert force against moving charges. Earth is full of moving, liquid, conductive metals like nickel and iron.
Are we talking about a solar particle hitting an atmosphere molecule and boosting it out of orbit one by one.
Yes. Imagine at the edge of the atmosphere a tiny tiny fraction of particles that have enough energy to temporarily escape orbit and a tiny fraction of those that have enough energy to escape permanently. Now add energy to the mix. You shift the equation and increase the amount of particles leaving. The problem is though that they don't come back. So over time the atmosphere is consumed. You could say these are relatively small amounts over say a m3 of atmosphere - but it's happening on a planet-wide scale. Eventually the amount adds up over time.
Drivel. I'm guessing once you manage to create a planet sized magnetic field (powered by magic and faerie dust), the atmosphere would just appear out of nowhere.
Any Mars colony would need to be mainly underground - no atmosphere or magnetic field means full exposure to cosmic radiation. That's not healthy for humans. Underground also makes it easier to contain an artificial atmosphere. A sustainable colony would not be possible though. Water or some other source of oxygen would have to be consumed, and waste CO2 dealt with effectively as well. All highly energy intensive. You'd need massive solar arrays, I doubt the atmosphere is dense enough for wind turbines. Or you'd have to bring your own nuclear power plant. Yeah it would be complicated. Not impossible, but very very complicated.
It had a magnetosphere. Then the core cooled and stopped rotating, causing the loss of the magnetic field. The magnetic field of a planet is not some innate property of planetary material - it's caused by movement, rotation, eddies, and whirlpools of liquid iron. The massive volcanoes on Mars point to a past where Mars did have a liquid layer. However the planet has since cooled down, unlike Earth which being much bigger will take more time to cool.

But how sad must your life be to follow someone across several topics just to hurl insults at them from AC posts.
Nah, this was "the year" that people decided to toss out the old laptop and buy a new one. Trump tax cuts, etc. More new laptops = more Windows 10.
Of the slight use of weasel words "the claims they make"...... make no claims or promises, block everything you like.

Yeah I'm not one for the "full diaper" look either. I believe it attracts a very limited demographic.
Americans with Disabilities Act
I don't think the Act contemplates getting laid with an internet app.

Makes no difference except at each extreme end of the spectrum. Don't be so insecure. Size or girth does not create instant orgasms.
Fat girls try harder?
Like someone said elsewhere - we need a concrete definition of "curvy"...

Who gets to determine the "value" of someone? Everyone has value to someone else. Value is subjective and relative.

How does Earth's work?

I'm guessing the magnetic field didn't just disappear overnight either. These are obviously processes that occurred over geological time.
