The bigger it is the slower the periodic cycle but the more dramatic the events it would deliver would be.
No it isn't. The mass of the object does not affect its orbital period at all. A speck of dust has the same orbital velocity and period as a giant jupiter.
I suspect he meant that the bigger it is, the farther away it has to be to have not been detected. Which implies a longer orbit for a larger object....
In which case, "radiation workers" should have a lower incidence of cancer than the rest of the population.
It should, perhaps, be noted that "radiation workers" have legal limits to their exposure that are extremely low. Lower, in some cases, than what some "normal" workers are exposed to. For example, coal miners are exposed to more occupational radiation than a nuclear power plant worker would be legally allowed to get.
Yeah, imagine perfect logic in decision making. Keeping in mind that retaining non-productive members of society is...illogical.
Better to "retire" the elderly by sending them to be ground up into "pure pork sausage", while they can still contribute. Ditto children (and adults, if any get past childhood screening) who are incapable of thinking clearly....
And a couple generations earlier, we did Prohibition (the War on Alcohol). And pretty soon we had gangsters and cops shooting at each other with tommyguns. Got pretty bad before we managed to amend that particular amendment back out of the Constitution....
Fact #3: the whole notion of a large, intrusive national government in the USA grew out of the Great Depression and WW2.
Might want to check to see who dominated the government then, if you want to get a few clues.
Note that this is not meant to imply that the Republicans are little angels - power attracts power, and as the Federal government grew and grew, it increasingly attracted the kind of people who like to tell other people what to do, on all sides of the political fence.
But it started with FDR, not with the other Party....
Tesla brought this upon themselves with a massive marketing campaign claiming autonomous driving features that are safer than humans, when the truth is, they are nothing of the sort.
If the two accidents associated with autopilot are, in fact, the only two that have occurred so far, then the Tesla autopilot IS safer than humans. Two accidents (non-fatal) in the time that humans have managed 20K or so fatal accidents plus vastly more than 20K non-fatal accidents sounds like the Tesla autopilot is considerably better than the average driver...
So, you can read a movie file (an hour or so of video) in 10 seconds, which is vastly better than the inferior older standards which take almost a minute...
Somehow, I'm not seeing myself losing sleep worrying about my inferior older devices....
Since these existing ISPs aren't really serving the needs of my community - shouldn't we have the ability to replace them?
You DO have the ability to replace them. But it's expensive. So, got the money? Or when you said "replace them" did you mean "get someone else to replace them"?
Not really, or should Bill Gates have a car worth a billion dollars, and should my teenage kids have a car worth $100?
Note the words "more than" in the original comment. It's important.
Note also that if your teenage kids are buying their own cars with an income of ~$500 per year, then they definitely shouldn't be spending more than $100 per year on their car(s).
Of course, if YOU are buying your kids cars, then the income that matters is YOUR income. And if you only make $500 per year, you shouldn't be buying your kids cars.
By comparison, assault rifles account for a "minuscule" fraction of lives taken every year
In the USA, at least, "assault rifles" (selective fire weapons like the M4) aren't even a blip.
Now, if you're talking "assault weapons" (scary looking semi-automatic rifles), then it's true that they account for a "miniscule" fraction of lives taken every year. And it's also true that stupid lawmakers stage sit-ins, etc....
Mishandling of classified material doesn't require intent on the part of, say, a Sergeant. It just requires that he be found to have mishandled classified data, whatever the "intent".
And how is setting up her own private server under her control in order to evade the FOIA NOT a demonstration of "intent"? Or was it just an accident that her server made it impossible to process FOIA requests vis a vis her tenure at State?
I'm assuming you have some evidence that "something bad did not happen"? So, what else have the Chinese, Russians, and North Koreans let you in on? I mean, if they'd been reading her emails, that would qualify as "something bad", right?
Large windows on the west side?? Hopefully that particular piece of your comment is attached to the "in colder areas", since large windows on the west down south is just an invitation to much larger electric bills in summer....
They just don't make 'em like Eisenhower anymore. Pretty much the only really good one the US had in the past 100 years.
Truman. Last President ever who, after he left Office, just went home. No permanent Secret Service detail, none of the privileges modern Presidents get for life....
No, it shows that 35% of the people that voted, voted for leaving (for what ever reason).
So, everyone is lying when they say that "leave" got 52% of the vote?
I'm assuming you have some evidence to support your belief that only 35% of the people who voted said "leave" in spite of the news reporting that 52% of the people who voted said "leave"?
The boss road the company all the way into bankruptcy
Rode. If you think "road" is the right word, ask yourself - "would putting "highway" in instead work?" If the answer is "no", then "road" is the wrong spelling.
No. If we were covered in armour-plate, that would just have meant that whatever we used to hurt each other would be designed to penetrate armour-plate.
There is no such thing as absolute safety. It is not achievable in the real world, and never will be.
But just remember, it could have been much worse. If guns were legal there, then no doubt the attack would have killed tens of thousands....
Ot it could be, at least. A significant source of foreign investment capital, which can be (but probably won't be) used to help lift the country into the 21st century (or at least late 20th).
Now, if they have enough sense to build some power plants, highways/railroads/factories with some of that income, they could be in good shape by and by
Are these the guys who have already served the maximum prison term allowed by the revised laws that you're talking about?
What's really pathetic about that particular bunch of pardons is that he won't consider it for someone who has served for less than 10 years. So there are people who have been in prison for nine years for a crime that as of last year has a three year maximum sentence that Obama won't pardon....

Was it? Or did he lie about lying? Hard to take anyone at his word when the first thing he says is "I'm a liar"....

Lincoln ring a bell? And I don't mean the car. Honest Abe ran for President as a Republican, back when the Republicans were the "third party".
Of course, we got a Civil War that time. Maybe we can do better the next time...

Which laws are those?

Large windows on the west side?? Hopefully that particular piece of your comment is attached to the "in colder areas", since large windows on the west down south is just an invitation to much larger electric bills in summer....

Nah, doesn't matter. The FOIA doesn't apply to Hillary in any case.

It's a game-changer for Tanzania, though.

Pardon me for not being impressed by his pardons.
