    She could very well be telling the truth, but you really are hilarious:

    "well known gossip"

    thanks for citing authoritative source.

    "she states in her post"

    more incontrovertible proof for sure.

    your other words about how other execs at the place are douchebags isn't really relevant, all big companies have them.

    Are the 190 SOL or did they go into sales, marketing, distribution, customer relations, support, IT.....?

    What our country HAS been doing is allowing other countries with no or inadequate worker safety protections to trade as equal partners which is wrong.

    you assert consequences without a shred of evidence

  10. But there is zero evidence in the lab that amino acids self-assemble into self-replicating self-programming robots (aka organic life). What if that takes billions of years to happen by chance? As we explore space we may find that is indeed the case.

    will mean our city will be ten foot deep in manure in less than a quarter century!

    Alarmists need to stop thinking any one thing can be extrapolated to the future without society and technology changing and adapting. And no, tax as an attempt to slow or stall inevitable progress is not a solution at all.

    So you've never been on a plane that has landed, been refueled and sent further on its journey I take it. Spending more than 24 hours on a plane, yes I've done it

  13. what if that life arrived as "contamination" from elsewhere?

  14. yes but Heinlein was wrong by couple orders of magnitude on yield of rocks hitting earth from moon. it's a waste of energy to try to "bomb" earth that way, you won't get nuclear yields but chemical bomb order yields.

  15. Re:A few numbers - correct, Heinlein miscalculated on Congressional Candidate Brianna Wu Claims Moon-Colonizing Companies Could Destroy Cities By Dropping Rocks (washingtontimes.com) · · Score: 1

    You can look at the U.S. Air Forces 2003 study on a project thor concept where 9 ton tungsten pole would hit Earth at about Mach 10 (a rather realistic order of magnitude for moon rocks flung to earth after reentry, at 3.4 km/s, it's your number essentially), for not quite 12 ton (0.012 kiloton) yield.

    In short, the idea is ridiculous, a conventional bomb lobbed from a sympathetic ally on earth would be equivalent or better.

  16. She, like Heinlein who miscalculated, is scientifically wrong. Rocks lifted from moon re-entering Earth's atmosphere would not have nuclear weapon's type yields.

    yes those peasants produced and had wealth confiscated from them, for example for wars of expansion of territory or for grudges. My example was great, it's a long term sustainable model of a few elite having their foot on the necks of the majority.
