    The figure you've quoted seems to be from around as high as you can go. The other end of the scale is around earth normal or even a bit higher

    Wait wait wait....what?

    The max pressure on Mars is (according to wikipedia):
    1,155 pascals (0.1675 psi) in the depths of Hellas Planitia

    The average pressure at sea level on Earth is:
    101.3 kilopascals (14.69 psi)

    So Earth's average pressure at sea level is 87x that of the max on Mars...heck, at the top of Mount Everest, the pressure is about 4.90 psi, which is still 29x that of the max on Mars.

    You need a pressure suit. Full stop.

    Instead, they expect to sit on their asses and collect government assistance, maybe have some more children to increase their earnings. Or worse, they steal everything they can get their hands on to fund their addictions.

    Do you know how expensive it is to keep millions of drug-offenders in prison? It would probably be cheaper to just keep them doped up with free drugs.

    Well, a British company caused the biggest spill in history (BP/Deepwater Horizon). Do you think BP (BRITISH Petroleum) is an American company? Or are you referring to Halliburton? Or Transocean?

    Oh, you were trying to imply (lie) that Obama was taking business away from American companies to give them to Brazilian ones.

    Rural? It's in the middle (well, western side) of the Chicago burbs! Within a mile or so of the ring it's farmland, but beyond that you're in a very heavily populated area. This is not on the outskirts of Pontiac, IL or something.

    You are aware that some people who are medicated for ADHD (raises hand) are not kids?

    I wasn't diagnosed until I was in college (I entered a drug trial for people who thought they might have ADHD, and after 10 hours of structured interviews and computer tests, I was diagnosed) and I took Adderall for years. Now I'm on Strattera. Both drugs made/make a huge difference in both my work and home life. I don't know if I could have gotten my MS in CompSci without em.

    Agreed, lots of kids are "just kids", but ADHD is not a made-up disease, just an over-diagnosed one.

    I was not looking for information on anal sex. I was looking for information on Santorum. The link in question is disguised a legitimate Santorum link, but instead gives information on anal sex.

    Google can't read minds. It knows you're looking for information about the string "Santorum". And the "link in question" IS a legitimate Santorum link. Santorum has had that lovely alternative meaning for 9 years now, and is fully in the Zeitgeist. Sorry it's not the definition you prefer.

    Since I neither asked for nor searched out this definition, it is not appropriate for it to be presented to me.

    Yes you did ask for it, by searching for the string "Santorum". If you don't like the results you got, go start your own search engine (ConservaGoggle or whatever).

    like gay porn (unless, like I said, you are NAMBLA)
