Sorry, but waiting at the bus stop for hours in the snow is not my idea of a good use of time. And the ability to stop off at a store and buy a trunk full, or even more than two bags, of stuff makes a bus impractical also.
What should be most telling was that this "engine" produced more "thrust" when it was turned off than when it was turned on. That should tell you how stupid this thing is but everyone is so caught up in the "I want to believe" moment that they ignore all the warning signs.
I think you have demonstrated how stupid you are with that statement. They found thrust in the NULL experiment, not when it was off. The null experiment used a different shaped reflector that they felt would cancel out the acceleration. If they don't understand the theory of how the acceleration is created, then they could very well have failed to create a null experiment and instead created another shape that works as an EM drive. Once they understand how the trust in generated correctly then they can successfully create a null experiment that works correctly and produces no thrust.
The "thrust" measured by every study is so tiny that it's equivalent to the gravitational attraction of the contraption to your body. There are thermal effects that could explain this tiny thrust. So when the contraption was cooling off, the thermal effects were enough to push the air in a non-symmetric way that it produced a tiny push on the sensors. You could have measured more thrust just blowing on the stupid thing.
They also tested it in a vacuum so there is no air to push off of.
Right, because engineers typically design containers in such a way that, should the first layer of the container be breached, the materials the container are designed to hold will react violently and explosively in the most dangerous way possible with the materials used in the second layer.
If they were so smart that they designed this second hull to catch the stuff in the event that the first one leaked, then why is there a problem about built up gasses in that second hull. Didn't they think about the exhaust vents and stuff that exist within the main container not being in the void between them? I guess they aren't really that smart after all!
Except that the level in the outer space has mysteriously gone down from April 17 to April 18. It must have tunneled to another dimension, right? Or perhaps it is leaking into the environment. Would you really be surprised to learn that they are covering their asses and not telling the whole story. I would expect nothing less. We didn't hear about the leak in 2011, so they have already been covering their asses this long, why not any more?
Except that these people have already demonstrated that they are non-lazy enough to set up a VPN so they can watch Netflix as if they are from another country. If they are going to go through that much trouble in the first place, why would they now just watch something else on Netflix when the VPN no longer works. Wouldn't they have just done that to start with and not even bother with the VPN?
As to various governents not on the same side all not talking, that could easily be explained by:
a) only being known at the highest levels and/or in some deep state black ops agency in each country
b) the alien equivalent to trinkets the european explorers gave to the less advanced cultures they encountered that they don't want to share because it gives them an advantage
It could also be that when a government does speak up, nobody listens anymore since it is just assumed to be a story told by whack-jobs. The Canadian Minister of Defense has come out and told everyone that governments are covering it up. There are plenty of high up US military personnel that have come out with stories also. But they end up on the alien conspiracy shows so everyone believes it must be fake.
For the adrenaline junkies out there that's not the point. There are folks that would commit suicide if they can't get their next fix. It's hard for the more rationally minded/. audience to understand.
It's ok. The rationally minded folks just need to get infected with the toxoplasmosis parasite from a house cat. Then they will become adrenaline junkies and cat lovers like the other 30% of the population.
I don't know about dangerous. I was on a US Navy ship when we had a supersonic flyover pass overhead. It was low enough that you could see the line made in the ocean beneath the plane as it was approaching from the pressure wave. Standing on the deck of the ship and watching it fly overhead was interesting. There was no sound at all as it approached, then the boom as it passed overhead. I know it must have been higher than it looked, but it appeared to pass between the two masts of the ship.
It is never about stopping future attacks. It as about combing through the wreckage after an attack and looking for evidence on who did it. They are not capable of stopping attacks even when they have the information needed in their huge illegal database of phone calls. The haystack is too large to find the needles they are looking for. But once the attack is over it is easy to look at the data they had and tell us who was behind it. Then they can claim they need more money or power to stop the next one.
Plus, they can just kill the people they want to investigate. Then there is no privacy for someone alive that might cause problems with their warrantless searches.
The lying they did and folding at the last minute should count as precedent anyway. The next judge should say to the FBI, "you lied to the court last time about a large number of things. dismissed with prejudice!".
But it also needed some custom hardware created to make use of the exploit. So unless they are going to build hardware for all the police departments out there, or have them send the phones off to the FBI, it isn't going to do much good.
And then we need a third ride sharing service. One that pairs men with women, for the people that don't want to ride with their own gender. The women drivers can only pick up men and the male drivers can only pick up women.
I can't comment on the legality of this, but there's no hypocrisy (as you seem to be implying). If statistically, a particular class of shared riders are being targeted for crime, and that class finds a way to protect themselves from being targeted, it seems reasonable to me.
The case of people getting a ride might be different from other crime statistics, but when you look at children that are abused and molested there are similar numbers of women involved in those crimes. The news shows one side more often and only one sex is dis-encouraged to be involved with children education or care, and it is not the female one. I would think they will still see similar problems involved with their attempt at making things safer since you didn't actually do anything of value. In a way you just guaranteed that the victims will be the weaker ones, so it is an easier target.
So to make it equal we need a male only taxi service. Then both sexes have their ride service and everything is equal and fair. Or would the women complain about sexist and illegal actions if that came about?
From the article I linked to: "But right from the start, people in the nuclear industry struggled with a big problem: cost. Making nuclear power cheap was the Holy Grail." That does not sound like a recent problem.
Also in the article: "Entergy has already taken one unprofitable reactor offline in Vermont and plans to close two more plants that are losing money in upstate New York and Massachusetts. In all, 19 nuclear reactors are undergoing decommissioning, of which five have been shut down in the past decade, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission." It does not look like you read this at all. You said it was one plant when it is many being shut down.
Do I just need to post all the text of the article right in here for the idiot pro-nukes to understand what it says? "The main reason behind the wave of closures is a new generation of cheap, gas-fired power plants that has pushed the wholesale price of electricity into the basement. But Mycle Schneider, a nuclear industry analyst, says nuclear also faces growing price pressure from wind and solar. Renewable energy is so cheap in some parts of the U.S. that it's even undercutting coal and natural gas." That is a nuclear industry analyst saying that. And the wind and solar is even undercutting coal and natural gas. It isn't just a nuclear problem.
It also states that the average age of the nuclear reactors in the US is only 35 years old. The pro-nuke fan boys always talk about how they are all over 60 years old or something ridiculous. That is the reason it stood out as such an interesting fact to me, because it was counter to what I keep hearing here an/. about how we should be building new nuke plants because they are all so old. I guess if the lies help push your wold view, it's all ok in the end, right?
And yet the US has lead the way in shutting down probably the most infamous haven; the Swiss banks.
Yeah, I'm not so sure they are actually trying to fight this stuff. If they were then the three states that allow anonymous shell corporations would not be so popular. The US is rated third in the world for "Offshore" shell games.
The Tax Justice Network ranks the U.S. third in terms of the secrecy and scale of its offshore industry, behind Switzerland and Hong Kong but ahead of the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg.
I won't even consider wind, solar, or geothermal good alternatives since they currently cost more than nuclear power.
Are you sure that nuclear costs less. Just the other day I heard a radio program talking about how there are many nuclear plants in the US shutting down because they can't compete on price with the newer renewable energy plants like solar and wind. http://www.npr.org/2016/04/07/...
As it has been apparent that voting does not work anymore with the bribery^HHH lobbying and crazy district lines that make it impossible to vote someone out, we need more of the shooting to straighten out these congress scum. When they break the constitution so frequently but have no repercussions, we need some vigilante justice to fix things. The first 3 boxes have failed, time to move on to the ammo box.
But your observation is of the light that left the object many millions of years ago. By now the object could very well be traveling away from us faster than light and will not interact any more.

I don't think a robot can ever make a "handcrafted by Amish" piece of furniture. I think the Amish will be just fine.

Doesn't Apple pay just use a credit card that you own. It would seem that Apple pay is a "card not present" type of situation.

we might as well just throw rocks, which would probably make ET mad.

If they know a particular woman will not fight back and submit every time then what is to stop that woman from getting raped repeatedly?
If they submit willingly, then it isn't rape, right? See everything works out fine if nobody has a gun! [/sarcasm tag]
