I am hoping that they can produce enough anti-matter to make a weapon of some kind. An anti-matter bomb would be many many thousands of times more powerful than even a hydrogen bomb, and it gives me great hope to think that a bomb that huge would make America even safer than thousands of nuclear warheads already make it.
Oh wait, that was just me getting into touch with my inner-Teller.
Are you saying that the invisible hand will not be jerking me off? Where does that Adam Smith fellow live. I'm going to drive over there and kick his ass.
Good example. Used car sales. It's in everybody's best interest to have complete information, and to give complete information about the used cars on the lot. The high quality used cars would fetch more than they do. And the low quality cars would not be purchased by unwary buyers, which would help the reputation of used car dealers. Dealers could even specialize in either high or low quality cars, for different markets with different needs and price points, in the same way that Hyundai and Lexus already do.
But what do we see? Information is actively hidden by dealers despite the efforts of customers to get it. Go to a random lot and ask the salesman what the quality of a random car picked is. Invariably you won't be told about accidents or other problems. So, the reputation of the dealer is harmed, and the customer gets an inferior product. In the case where a customer unwittingly buys a superior quality car, the dealer is unable to sell it for what it's worth because he can't prove to the customer with any degree of confidence that the car really is superior quality. So, the sale price is too low.
I want to know where this invisible hand is, because I don't see it. All I know is that *somebody* is getting really excellent invisible handjobs, and I am jealous.
I used to have sex all the time when I was a D&D player. For example, one time I was down in a dungeon and an Orc came on to me REAL strong. And another time our adventure group got together in the Red Dragon Inn, ordered some pints and talked about where to pillage next. Next thing you know, armor is flying off and the whole room turns into a heaving mass of flesh having sex and there wasn't even a pudding creature in sight! That was the famous Red Dragon Inn orgy. Bar wenches everywhere. Maybe your dungeon master taunted you with it before?
The old 150 in 1 kit from the 1970's had a great feature. If you lift out the paperboard carrier that the electronics and springs are mounted on, you find that there's a space underneath the board which is just big enough to hide a couple Hustler magazines. My parents found all my other pron, but they never found the ones I hid in there. Damn I loved that electronics kit.
Man-rate a Delta vehicle and use that to lift our astronauts, and we need to purchase Soyuz spacecraft from Russia. Luckily, Congress has recently authorized the latter.
We also need to do something like what Von Braun did - inflate the specs by 20% and build the rocket for that target instead of what the payload engineers say they need. The payload is going to weigh a lot more than what they think, even if they don't know it yet.
"The first astronauts sent to Mars should be prepared to spend the rest of their long, luxurious, comfortable lives there, free from the risk of attack from unfriendly Indians and wild animals."
They don't destroy the ecosystem and environment. They just deny it to humans. Chernobyl is full of animals who live short radiation-filled lives as individuals, but are thriving as species.
Just thinking about it for 5 seconds offers some clues.
A nuclear reactor accident is unlikely to kill a huge number of people, but a nuclear bomb will do that. Risk is counted by both the liklihood of disaster AND the number of people it could kill.
Even Chernobyl, which was pretty bad, didn't kill many people. How many? Don't know, but I'd be surprised if it was over 1000. A nuke on the other hand, kills a lot more.
Example:
Let's say that a power plant melts down every X and kills 1000 people. Let's say that a nuke gets dropped once in a century and kills 100,000 people. The question is: How often would a power plant have to melt down to equal the risk from one nuke getting dropped once in a century, killing 100,000 people (a small nuke for sure)?
The answer is: Once a year. To equal 100,000 deaths from a powerplant in a century, one would have to melt down every year.
When you consider that we're unlikely to drop just one nuke at a time (we dropped TWO in WWII) then you can see that the number of people who might be killed by nukes goes into the millions. To get even close to this kind of damage from a power plant you'd have to melt down a few plants every hour.
Sure there are differences. They are different things. The law was about some kind of weird dignity for plants, and there are other people who want dignity for other weird things - like cumshots.
The video showed the lander dropping straight down on the wheels without any side motion at all. This seems unlikely to me. The rover would be swinging like my dick on those cables unless there were some thrusters used to stop any swinging motion.
Other than that, it's a pretty neat idea, ESPECIALLY for a spacecraft which is not a rover. A rover can move out of the landing zone, but a stationary spacecraft cannot. It would be sitting on soil which has traces of hydrazine from the landing rockets - but this system would avoid that problem.
Completely misunderstand? Did you read TFA? You don't need to misunderstand it to find the situation absurd
Exactly what I'm talking about. What does this have to do with a Pope saying that condoms are unnatural? What does this have to do with programming plants to produce infertile seeds? What does this have to do with messing with any genetic codes at all?
If you find the situation absurd, then you're just not thinking. You're simply reacting to the specific absurd consequences without considering the reasoning which leads to the consequences.
Why should I not ejaculate into a piece of latex? Assigning ideas such as "dignity" to such actions as a Pope's idea of the "right way" to have sex sounds just as absurd as prohibiting the decapitation of dandelions.

User Friendly and Garfield should merge. The geeks need pussy too!
No, it's so delicious and moist. But, look at me - still talking when there's science to do.

That's not flamebait, mod it up. Someone actually knows some economics here, and they didn't necessarily learn all of it in Chicago from Friedman.

This is how I trained the dogs to do this important work.
Step 1: Get dogs addicted to cigarettes
Step 2: Withhold cigarettes
Step 3: Dog goes apeshit when it detects cigarettes
Saginaw Ave, Lansing MI. 4 lanes, plus a left turn lane. Something like 10 miles of road, 25 MPH. What a shitty city.
Fortunaly, gays are getting off easily there
uh Huh huh. Look what you wrote.
My olfactory sense is broken, which is why I object to smell-o-vision in libraries. So I understand your concerns.
This is the kind of ignorance that will kill us. Just so you know, the incidence of disease is not independent of climate.
Actually I look at you more like a savanna ape.
OK, I'll go with that. The Falcon 9 would also have the capacity, and is cheaper.
