Just as racist, just as misogynistic, just as insensitive.
And this was a liberal watchdog group? Gimme a break. I thought the left at least gave lip service to freedom of speech.
The government too isn't a randomly chosen sample. They're obviously the most competent, smartest and generally rationally-minded amongst us. If they weren't they wouldn't get elected.
99% of people that work in 'the government' aren't elected.
If you get the drift, it's incompatible with science -- which is a systematic accumulation of principles and theories based on facts.
And the thought of once-living tissue remaining viable for tens of millions of years was thought to be 'incompatible with science' as well. Things change. Who knows what we'll know tomorrow.
Its the gratuitous fees for no other reason than pumping up someone's bottom line that I have a problem with.
Those are not gratuitous fees, those are marketing tools.
[WHAT??]
Yes...marketing tools. It allows them to lower the 'advertised price', and still earn the same profits.
$100/month looks better than $120/month. But they don't tell you up front about that extra $20 in fees.
I'm not saying they should earn less profit. That's another argument. But if they can snag you in at $100/month, and still earn $120 month, that's a win.
So how long does it take to get from NYC to LA in real life? 1 hour to airport, 1 hour at the airport, 6 hours in the air, and 1 hour from the airport. So 9 hours. Right about the same. Only on the train you can relax and do whatever, while with the plane you gotta deal with all the hassle.
A train would have similar hassles. It's main advantage would probably be seat space. Since weight isn't so much of a factor, you can have more room.
The advantage with aircraft, though, is that a faster, or nonstop one can simply go around a slower one. Unless you have multiple tracks from NYC to LA, the faster express has to hassle with the slower ones.
I hope she is not a sweater or else you are going to have a lot of water flying around the space station.
I think they already have that figured out.
"Williams runs at least four times a week in space, including two longer runs and two shorter ones, according to NASA. "
But you must then accept the fact that you can only launch in certain places.
If you have the launch facility, you also have the landing facility. So we're back to the standard (cheap) Cessna. Landing 'anywhere' = vertical landing. Loud, dangerous (crosswinds) and expensive on fuel. Without some uber propulsion type (not fans pushing air), I don't see it happening any time soon.
No, what's needed is vertical take off and landing vehicles for that price which don't make insane amounts of noise or vent extremely hot gases in a way that is dangerous to third parties.
And to do that we just need to suspend the laws of physics. Unless you know of another way of lifting 2,000 lbs straight up in the air.
This kind of reliability in a small plane would be just incredible!
Just as with cars, power density is the sticking point. And even more than cars, weight is an issue. Taking the standard Cessna 172:
Fuel capacity of 42 USG. Range 790 miles.
Assuming the gas and electric engines weigh the same, and assuming 6lb per gal for Avgas....can we build a battery pack good enough for 790 mile range, with NO loss of power over that range, that weighs 250lbs? (The Prius battery pack weighs about 1/2 that - 45kg))
You must have worked for some shitty ISPs. I've never heard of such a clause and would never join an ISP with such a ludicrous limitation.
From Cox Cable: 6. Servers. You may not operate, or allow others to operate, servers of any type or any other device, equipment, and/or software providing server-like functionality in connection with the Service, unless expressly authorized by Cox.
I mean, it's true : those terrorist had valid non-counterfeit IDs, linking them to the identities they used in the states and with which they didn't have any problem.
They also had multiple "valid" drivers licenses, and expired visas. On top of that, the initial visas some of them were issued were invalid, in that they were issued under the table, by a relative who worked in the issuing office.
Saying that their 'papers' were in order is flat out wrong.
The amount of fear that the idea of even a small, half-assed nuke dropping in their favorite city will put in the hearts of every American means no invasions for Iran any time soon.
In reality, hitting a particular city long range is a non-trivial exercise. Accurate IRBM (Iran->Europe) or ICBM (Iran->US) is not all that easy. The US and Russia have decades of practice hitting things at long range. Add in the technology to build a nuke warhead tough enough and small enough to fit on a missile, and Iran is years away from building such. However, they shouldn't be on that road in the first place.
Why can't Iran do all the things that the U.S. do all the time?
Because the NPT, of which Iran is a signatory, puts different restrictions on different countries. To wit, the US, Britain, and the other original nuclear powers must work to reduce their nuclear weapons stockpiles (which they are doing), and every other signatory must not undertake to obtain nuclear weapons.
What is the problem with Iran investing in nuclear research and space technologies?
Nuclear (power) research - good
space technology - good
possible nuclear weapons research - bad.
The IAEA and the UN are not satisfied as to Iran's intentions vis a vis nuclear weapons research.
The U.S. has said...
You do realize "U.S." does not appear anywhere in the article. This is a comment from a former British ambassador. If you look carefully, you may realize that no one else on the planet wants Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, not just the US.

I don't think so.

Apparently, it was who smoked the most crack that morning.

I think they already have that figured out.
"Williams runs at least four times a week in space, including two longer runs and two shorter ones, according to NASA. "
they are loud, stinky, gasoline engines.
An awful lot of that noise is the prop, not the actual engine.

But anyways, Chili near Rochester is not pronounced like the bean kind, but more like Chi-Lie, it's weird.
Yeah, I know. I grew up on the other side of town from there.

What is really needed is airplanes which require lower maintenance fees
A&P certified mechanics are expensive.

Chili? The small town outside of Rochester, New York? I didn't even know they had a airport. Things have changed since I left.
Well...Chili is right next to the airport.
Not a problem if the PDA is also attached ...
...until you bump up against weight limits. RC aircraft can't lift a whole lot, unless you give it some big engines.
