Fortunately, the Lisa Pathfinder project has already developed ion engines that would be helpful against that. While they generate very minuscule thrust, unsuitable for space travel purposes, they have enormous specific impulse, meaning they can go on for years stabilizing given object against solar wind, gravitational influences and the likes. Several such engines attached to the disk would easily keep it stabilized against solar wind, and another couple on the telescope part would keep it aligned.
Of course you'd need somewhat more powerful jets to turn it around aiming at a different part of the sky, and these would likely need periodic refuelling (note as the disk rotates towards another place in the sky, the telescope part needs to travel a couple thousand kilometers!) but we've got the stabilization covered.
Yes; it was the US screwing up the endgame and treating their allies instrumentally - discarding them once they were no longer needed, leaving them to their own devices in the wrecked country. Still, it's not a huge leap of faith to imagine the indifference, callousness, shortsightedness were all a cover-up for more sinister motives. They say 'don't ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity', but it doesn't take a very crackpot mind to do that here. We're talking about the most powerful military in the world - it's difficult to accept such a collosal levels of incompetence instead of believing the apparent incompetence was just to hide the real intentions.
It's unlikely to scale that much anytime soon. Battery size -> radio range; Battery size + motor size -> power -> ability to overcome wind. Mass -> stability -> ability to overcome wind. Add to that lifting power to carry any payload.
Yes, you'll be able to get very small indoor RC quadcopters with several meters of range. But if you want to fly it over GSM while streaming from internal camera, you're not getting it smaller than your palm anytime soon.
Nowadays they detonate these in bomb chambers using an "initiating charge" (a small bomb of their own). There was that guy who just stood for a couple hours in front of White House, with his briefcase. They checked the briefcase with xray. They found clothes, essential business travel stuff, nothing suspicious. They detonated it anyway.
For the outside people she'll be attempted rape victim that looks fabulous. Only "mysogynous haters" know the full story (and whoever learns, automatically is classified as one of these "mysogynous haters")
"from day one, zoe quinn faced the nastiest of sexual and mysoginistic slurs and threats."
Could you substantiate this? I mean, specifically, the number (to prove it wasn't isolated incidents) and connection to GamerGate (as in specific instances was actively disproven).
Ah, the old "Few rotten apples" argument. It's so hard to debunk. Luckily, someone took time to collect quotes from about all leaders of one large slice of the SJWs - "3rd wave feminists". You'd be hard-pressed to find a non-rotten apple in this basket.
I'm not sure you understand how Patreon works. It's not goal-oriented like Kickstarter. It's more of "Let people throw money monthly at a creator, and the creator promises to deliver something nebulous from time to time." While in Kickstarter you're interested to see a specific completed product, in Patreon you 'show support' letting the creator 'keep doing the good job'. As result, popularity - especially victim style or activist style popularity - yields very good results.
That chick game is the single tiny point of a very big campaign, where things spun from 'gamers against bad journalism' into 'feminists against mysogynic gamers'.
GamerGate is not just about Zoe, no matter how much she'd like you to believe otherwise.
http://gamergateharassment.tum... The actual dox are censored on that site, but not the names of twitters/tumblrs/etc that posted them, so you should be able to find the original posts that dox gamergate supporters with little effort.
Look up the gamergate article on Wikipedia. The original gaming media issue is practically nonexistent, the whole article is about the terrible mysogynists who attacked the innocent feminist activists.
Wikipedia tends to support its articles with media publications and if media integrity is the subject, media tend to be biased. To get the truth you need to reach for the actual sources, and that constitutes "Original Research" which is not an accepted Wikipedia source.
You're missing the point. The view of SJWs is that whoever is in a position of privilege in society, doesn't deserve any protection from abuse from the 'oppressed' side. Say, "Blacks can't be racist", or "Men can't be raped".
It's not about claiming there's no inequity. It's about their approach to resolving the problem. Someone some posts earlier put it well: if there's some stairs leading to a building, SJWs don't build a ramp for the handicapped, they remove the stairs so that handicapped don't feel bad about healthy people being able to enter.
Feminism used to be about women proving to be strong and deserving an equal place.
Currently it seems to be about women whining that they are victims and demanding privileges and preferential treatment to make up for being unable to keep up with men.
I have a lot of respect for women who are strong, smart and brave enough to keep up or surpass men in 'male-dominated' fields, and I'd be first to protest if they were treated badly for being women.
I also have respect for women who are aware of their weaknesses and pick much-needed jobs they still can perform well, even if not as 'prestigious'. The situation does have its mirror side, menial male-dominated jobs, no inequality here either.
But I'm seriously pissed off when a woman who is definitely underperforming in the 'male-dominated' domain blames patriarchy for her failures. The opposite is extremely rare...
Maybe that was back then. Currently the demand of SJWs would walk into the restaurant and start spitting in people's food.
Seriously, that 'new wave feminist' movement is rabidly opposed to granting men any rights that would level the field where women have unfair advantage, for example blocking any laws that would allow men to persecute women for abuse, or raiding peaceful protests of men who request equal rights to retaining children after divorce.
The word "justice" is used tongue-in-cheek. "Minority Supremacists" is far more accurate.
And specifically, note 'warriors'. Most of their actions are counter-constructive. You won't see many positive initiatives from them, like helping these in need - instead, they focus on injuring these who, in their perception have upper hand in some allegedly 'unjust' situation.
SJWs who are on the prowl and attack a white neckbeard nerd gamergate supporter for his racism and mysogyny don't stop for little things like said "neckbeard nerd" being in fact a young black girl who likes playing on Nintendo.
Oh, you don't understand the kind of grace she displays.
If you prove she's been factually wrong, she will find your house, break in, taze you, kick you in the balls, take your wallet, then call the cops and get you locked up for attempted rape. Then she'll give an interview how you abused her horribly. And she'll look fabulous all the while. It's this kind of grace under pressure.
She got friggin' 20 times the budget she planned. So don't make up any excuses for failure to deliver. People paid for what she promised to deliver, not for any allegedly superior product she'd fail to deliver.
If I request 50 cheapest McDonalds' hamburgers, and give you $1000 for it, don't make excuses about delivering two gourmet steak burgers instead, claiming that steaks are more expensive and more difficult to cook, and take more time. And especially I don't want to hear $1000 is not enough for 50 steak burgers. It's not what I paid for and what I paid is far more than enough to deliver what I paid for.

Personally, I wonder how such a toy drone compares to a bird in aircraft path...
So whom did CIA fund and train in Afghanistan in 80s, to fight against Soviets?

Unless you want to get into the White House clothed as a fireman.

Also search these comments for the word 'free' and replies to them.
As much as GP post is misguided in 'people who actually bought', but the game didn't need to be sold to earn her money.

Also, by keeping it straight you run at risk of the two accusing you of homophobia.
Words like 'man', 'straight', 'white' tend to be trigger words in these parts.
Seems the evidence was posted. What about counter-evidence?
Tell me what productive job can you perform with a major in Gender Studies or Female History?
Unfortunately not.
