So if it were made legal it would be fine? I guess people that take pot in states where it's legal don't disgust you? And people that drank during prohibition disgust you?
Let's get Godwin's law right out of the way. Hitler was also technically democratically elected so deserved support from the German people right?
Yep politicians should automatically get our respect because they got elevated no matter how demonstrably fucking awful they are. The great thing about an actual free democracy is I don't have to automatically give out leaders the slightest bit of fucking respect and can call them out for being pieces of shit.
Also he received 2 million fewer votes than his opponent,but the Electoral College blah blah blah for some reason better etc etc.
I know, for me personally I wonder where I would be without native apps since app development been the main my source of income for these past few years.
I still remember the day they posted on Slashdot that hackers had release the first reversed engineer SDK on jail broken phones and immediately dived in and started coding for it. I actually interviewed at Apple shortly after for unrelated position long before they announced the SDK and remember showing the engineers over lunch a port of MAME I had done. It was kind of surreal when I looked up and saw Steve Jobs across the room getting lunch.
Yeah I don't think I can ever go back to going into an office everyday. Or really even going back to have a regular job rather than just doing contract software development.
The only thing that would make things better is an actual decent single payer healthcare system like every other civilized country. Yeah for profit healthcare insurance tied to the vagaries of your employment situation, genius!
Right instead we should just create make work meaningless jobs that people can work 8 hours a day for minimum wage since the point of life is just to work, rather than rethinking our economic and societal systems to make a better society for all that involves less work and addresses income inequality.
For the record I usually work 60 hours a week (and get paid for every hour since I'm a contractor) because I have a creative and rewarding job I like and would still do it even if I got a bare minimum essential wage from the government.
Yes I understand that. I probably should have made it clearer, but I was replying to the original poster explaining to him why his idea of "just bouncing around photons/internal solar sail" isn't what an EM "reactionless" drive would be since it would still be ejecting mass and the rocket would be getting lighter just like any kind of rocket would.
I was about to do a back of the envelope calculation on the energy requirements of a traditional photon rocket, but it looks like a poster ahead of me just did. 1kW = 0.00334 millinewtons..
Here's the thing people that don't really understand the physics don't get. Mass is energy energy is mass. If you're throwing photons out the back that you are creating then you are ejecting mass.
While a photon rocket is efficient in terms of mass it's actually terrible in terms of the energy required to accelerate something.
It's not so much newtons laws per se, but energy and momentum conservation laws which are a consequence of very fundamental symmetry laws. See Noether's theorem. That's why physicists have very hard time buying anything that violates these very fundamental principles.

Well it's a good thing they voted for someone that will improve their healthcare. Oh wait...
I figured every spot would have been occupied by health insurance companies.
Obviously.
By prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law?

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad . Lame.
Hey I just correctly predicted the outcome of this coin toss I just made. I must be a super genius!
Hey I think that's Craig T "I never got any help when I was on welfare" Nelson.
More voters that are easily swayed by emotion and not logic.
Hell is other people.
Except you know archiving the data costs money too.

Oh so I guess this means they've taken care of more pressing business, like say filling a Supreme Court vacancy?
Just got google fiber installed today woohoo!
Playboy stopped having nude women in it like a year ago right?
Yeah pretty much every president since WW2 has been named Person of the Year at least once.
Hitler was also named man of the year. It's not about who was the "best" person of the year just the most influential.
CNN turned into a hard core porn channel so gradually we barely noticed.

Yes photons have momentum and a photon drive would be 1kW / 0.00334 millinewtons.
