I won't say it works perfectly, but I will say that at least half of the time that I tell a telemarketer that I'm on the National Do Not Call List they've either hung up, or apologized for the call and ended it politely.
In logic, a fallacy is a form of faulty reasoning. This is not a fallacy, it's a mistaken explanation of the causes of the collapse. Not the same thing at all.
The farther out the planet is, the longer the orbital period is and the slower the wobble. I don't know how much of a factor that is, but I do know that most of the exo-planets I've read about are close in with short orbital periods.
...and then sigh and resignedly for for the incumbents again, because as shitty as they are, the alternatives are always slightly worse.
Has it ever occurred to you that this is why there's never a Republican candidate you like? As long as people like you keep voting for Democrats, no Republicans who are any good are going to waste their time running because they know they don't have a chance. Vote for the least objectionable Republican in the primary, then hold your nose if you have to and vote against the lunatic-fringe Democrats.
Even if it "just" goes through, there's still that pesky hole in the hull to deal with. And, even if the ship has a double-hull, the damage came from inside, not outside, meaning that the flooding can go right into the ship's interior. Back in '72, I was stationed aboard what was then called a Destroyer Escort (Later, the designation was changed to Fast Frigate.) and attended a class on damage control, so I know how important controlling flooding is, and how hard it can be in emergencies. Using a kinetic energy weapon from orbit may not be the most cost-effective way to take out a Zumwalt class ship, but even one hit can seriously inconvenience it even if it doesn't short out the electrical system.
I didn't; I live in California I've been voting against both of our left-wing loonie Senators for decades, for exactly this reason, plus the fact that they're both anti-gun hypocrites with concealed-carry permits.
It may be a computation-intensive program that needs to be optimized for the hardware it's expected to run on to squeeze every possible clock-cycle out of it. There are other reasons, but that's the first one that came to mind.
You are not going to get the energy release you are imagining.
Not from hitting the ship, no. However, if the projectile goes right through the ship, it's going to hit the water. The highly non-compressible water. All of that impact energy is going to turn into heat.Lots and lots of heat, which in turn is going to create lots of live steam with only one place to go: back into the ship. And, as this is all happening below the water line, you're going to end up with major flooding. Not good. However, that's assuming that you manage to hit the target, and that's not as easy as some people think. Back during WW II, they used B-17 bombers in the Pacific both for scouting and for high-altitude bombing of shipping. They had a 1% hit rate. That's why they used dive bombers, because you could control the bomb's trajectory until it was just a few hundred feet up, making it far easier to hit the target.
You must have a very, very strange Dominatrix. The word you use is the feminine form of Dominator, and I'd expect that the correct response would be, "Yes, Mistress," unless you wanted to give her an excuse to punish you.
Elizabeth I of England may not have been the first person to say it, but she probably said it best: "I have no desire to make windows into men's souls."
Now there's a thought: if prostitution were legal, it would be quite easy for somebody to create/sell an app that gives you a list of the closest providers, including gender, price and (if appropriate) specialties. The prostitutes pay a small monthly fee to be listed and the johns pay another small fee for each one they select. Set the fees small enough that nobody's complaining and rake in the moola!
I think that you misunderstood the article. It's not that the hot side faced the Earth, it's that the heat of the Earth (around 2700 Kelvins) kept that side of the Moon (orbiting considerably closer than it does now) hot longer than the side facing away.
I can't speak for anybody else, here, but I find the headline reassuring. I'm in my mid-60s and my health isn't too good (I take 27 pills per day, all prescription, plus insulin.) so the fact that I can look forward to being here for another eight years is good to know.
Actually, it's quite easy to get rid of all of Windows 10's snoopware. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted to keep Windows 10 on your computer. Never mind.
No, it only says that you want or need to learn something about PHP. It suggests that you might be planning on using it in the future, but you also might learn enough to find out that it's not what you need.
Counting the number of times tutorials are accessed tells you how many people are learning (or considering learning) a language, not how many are using it now. All this can do is tell you if people expect to need it in the future, because for the most part, if you're currently programming in a particular language, you shouldn't need to be going over tutorials.
Not exactly. In 1951, the FTC went against the makers of Carter's Little Liver Pills because they neither had any liver (or liver extract) in them nor worked on the liver. The company settled by agreeing to take the word "liver" out of the name.
They're not going to be able to transport enough munitions cross-country in civilian vehicles or store enough inside a school or hospital to keep an army in the field. What you're talking about is adequate for a small force of terrorists, but that's not exactly what we're dealing with here.

Back in 1996, an Ig Nobel Prize was awarded to the authors of a report on "Transmission of Gonorrhea Through an Inflatable Doll."

Why isn't it already compiled?

Strictly speaking, she's not selling her body, she's offering a short-term rental. And, of course, not all prostitutes are women.
I'm beginning to think that Pottering himself is a broken concept.
Agreed. This article should have the Linux icon, not the one for KDE because systemd isn't DE-specific.

It's probably worth noting that at one point the Ford Motor company only made one car (The Model T)
And, to show how flexible the company was, you could buy a brand-new one in any color you wanted, as long as you wanted black.

Yes, I know. I read all about them in the Wikipedia article I linked to.

Seriously, are worms kosher/halal?
I don't know about worms, but I do know that certain species of locust are listed in the Torah as being kosher.
