One of the mysterious effects is the difference in rotational speed as you go out from the center of the galaxy. Again that can't be impacted by something that's only in the center.
And yet they treat the galaxy as a point source of gravity at the center. See this post by Sique as an example. Plus, if gravity waves are a reality, then gravity must travel at a limited speed. This would mean that things orbit where the gravity was and not where it is now. This would also mean that the stars in the same orbit at the outer edges of the galaxy are affected by the stars ahead in the orbit more than the ones behind in the orbit. Since they are all travelling around together and gravity has a speed limit the ones following you have a "blue-shifted" gravity while the stars ahead of you have a "red-shifted" gravity.
It seems that there are other possible explanations for the galactic curve problem using relativity. The bullet galaxy and lensing are another matter though.
I thought that if you had nothing to hide then you would not care. I guess he has something to hide then. Privacy is only for those at the top, right!?
Here is the horrible thing about all this. Everyone knows exactly which country on this planet funds the bulk of modern ISIS terrorism. Officials won't say it, and they certainly won't do anything about it. So instead they just want to rape our rights to prove that they are doing something.
I'm not sure I know which country it is. Let me guess, the big bad US of A! Am I Right?!?
Did they account for people who opened and looked at the USB key, but their computer did not auto-run whatever was on there that phoned home? What about people who have the auto-run disabled in Windows, or people who run a smarter OS, like perhaps Linux or Mac or BSD? (I'm not actually sure if these OS's are smarter than Windows, but it seems like they might be.)
Whose freedom is more important? The transgendered man who wants to use a woman's restroom or the women who don't want to share their restroom with a transgendered man? Who should prevail? You can't make one happy without making the others unhappy. This is the nature of politics. You have to decide and say "you get your way, and you, just deal with it."
The governor of NC chose to side with 51% of his state over probably 0.001% of his state. Sure, there are women who would agree with sharing the restroom. The governor can't know how many. All he probably knows is that he's likely never met a woman in his state except a few activists that like the idea. Therefore he is doing precisely what we ordinarily value which is letting the majority rule.
This law is forcing a person born as a woman, who now has a full on beard and dresses as a man, and even has a giant cock to piss from, to use the woman's restroom. I don't see how that will make the other women in that restroom comfortable. Do you?
That brings up my questions: 1) Which facility are people with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) supposed to use? 2) Which facility are people born as hermaphrodites supposed to use?
Although both are rare, I'd suggest that gender isn't as binary as some simple-minded people choose to believe it is. There really is such a thing a "in between".
If NC wants to make a law saying that people have to use the bathroom that matches their birth chromosomes, then they should be responsible for installing a third bathroom in every location for the hermaphrodites and XXY people to use. That makes sense to me. They can't use either Male or Female without breaking the new law, so a third category needs to be made and a third bathroom needs to be created. I wonder if we need even more than three.
Furthermore, the whole argument in favor of that brick was absurd. Is somebody really supposed to steal your iphone, swap their own fake fingerprint sensor in it, and then put it back as if nothing happened? That sounds like a cheesy plot to a mission impossible movie.
It sounds exactly like something the FBI or NSA would like to do though! They are the evil organization du jour that must be protected against.
It isn't going to happen until you (the consumer) start paying for it.
Raising livestock without antibiotics and anabolic steroids isn't profitable;
Raising produce without pesticides isn't profitable;
Getting livestock or produce into a consumers hands without preservatives isn't profitable;
Selling a product that hasn't been pumped full of flavor enhancers and additives to meet consumer expectations isn't profitable;
Running a business without turning a profit isn't... ?
Tell that to Tyson, the chicken producers. They have already gotten rid of all antibiotics for non-sick animals in their broiler flocks. http://www.tysonfoods.com/Medi...
You mean facts like the one where Trump finds the book that Hitler wrote to be very inspirational. And the fact that his campaign mirrors Hitler's in many ways. Those facts?
Yep, that would be corn. I heard that you want to get the water boiling before you even pick it. But like you said, the modern varieties stay sweeter longer.
Why can't they put a recurring canary out there. Each month, quarter, or year, whichever suits the timing best, the canary is put back in saying that you have not received a NSL in the last month (quarter, year, etc.). Once you get one you remove the current canary until you can put the new one in. It would be like the real canaries, I'm pretty sure if your canary died you would get another one for the next time you went down into the mine.
Yep, and the police kill more people by accident than mass murderers do! And people in cars kill more people by accident than mass murderers do.
I thought someone had a point about carriers attempting to stop a mass murderer and killing the innocent people around, but I guess that isn't the case. Instead it is about how there are so many things that can kill you more fequently than a mass murderer might. Do we get rid of all these things then? Swimming pools, cars, knives, chainsaws, sugary drinks, police, electricity, food (choking hazzard), and a million other things all need to go!
Is that true? Do you have a reference for that! That seems like it can't possibly be true by simple deduction of theenumber of shooting you see vs. the number that have a concealed carry person even involved much less shooting innocent people. I can't think of a single incedent that made national news where a concealed carry shot innocent bystanders. I can think of recent cases of the police shooting into the house next door and killing an old lady though!
I was thinking this big priority on accessing phones, surveillance, etc. but generally police no longer respond to burgarlies. I'm old enough to remember police would investigate burgarlies but these days not really. Will it free up resources to concentrate on crimes that effect us commoners?
If the burglar does not leave his iPhone behind then the police will have nothing they can do!
Oh good. You're one of those people that would rather live in an environment of constant paranoia just in case that.0001 chance that having a gun in public might have a legitimate use.
Personally, I'd rather not have perpetually armed strangers around me and mine. Just the fact that you feel you need to have a tool designed specifically designed to kill and intimidate people on you at all times means I don't want you around me. It suggests a mentality I am not at all comfortable with.
Do you feel the same way when a police officer shows up? If not, why? They are armed and are normal people just like anyone else. I find it most ridiculous that the anti-gun people have no problems with tons of armed cops around even though they are much more likely to be shot by a cop than they are to be shot by someone legally carrying.
In short, if you are going to be armed in public and you aren't 100% mentally stable while packing (and a large percentage of the population is at least a bit shy of that mark)
I think you could put most police officers into that category. They deal with scum so often they start to think everyone is a criminal. I would say that makes them non 100% mentally stable.
AND you have the training, awareness, and physical ability to keep anyone from using your gun (or, in the alternative, you have a gun that nobody but you can fire without fiddling with it for at least a minute), then I don't want to be around you when you are armed.
I also think that the police get less training than most people would think. I have heard that they only do their shooting a few times a year. A gun enthusiast would shoot more often than a non-enthusiast cop would.
For the wall mounted TV panels I have gotten Plasma and love it. I don't really understand why LCD is much more popular because all of the things you would want in a picture seem to lean to Plasma as better. Better contrast, darker blacks, brighter more vibrant colors, better viewing angle. The only thing that LCD has on it's side is better bright light viewing, but my TV is not in the sun-room, so that is not a problem for me and probably most people. And burn-in has not been a problem with the two of them that I have had. On the first one you might see after images for a minute when you left something paused, but they always went away quickly.
Sometimes there are strange "Sheeple" reasons why some things succeed and other fail in the marketplace.
I like the points you make. I did find one part to be rather funny though. You don't want to be a cashier ringing up your own groceries, but you will skip the robot restaurant so you can go be your own waiter at Whole Foods making a salad from separate ingredients.
machines don't forget to wash their hands after pooping in order to spread their intestinal viruses..
That is true, machines don't poop. But they don't wash their hands either. So if a piece of meat gets caught in a belt somewhere for a month then falls down into the food prep area the machine will happily continue spreading the diseases to each and every customer until the end of the day when the cleaning crew does their wipe down.
From the CEO:
They're always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.
They may not show up late, but they can break down and still take up the space that is needed. No slips and falls, but if it cuts a customers finger off you are looking at a large settlement. I would also not categorize a machine a polite, it is just a machine. In the words of the Carl's Jr. from the future -- Fuck you, I'm eating! Besides, if it is constantly trying to upsell me I would find that to be on the rude side. And if my order is incorrect or messed up in some way I don't see it being too polite at getting things fixed! Basically, this CEO is a narrow minded idiot!
Yep, they don't give a shit about the law. That is the biggest problem with all the law enforcement agencies in this country right now.
I love how just this morning I heard on the radio that the DOJ is saying that Apple is not above the law. To anyone who looks at the situation and the law critically it is quite clear that the DOJ believes themselves to be above the law.
This is why I keep proposing that we need to bring back the guillotine for government employees or congress people that break the constitution. If you can't follow the highest law of the land we don't want you around trying to fuck up the country even more. Everyone at the DOJ that says Apple has to change their software is now marked. Once the supreme court hears the case and determines that it is an unconstitutional request then those marked people get terminated. And any politician that votes for a law that is determined to be unconstitutional later is also terminated. Right now they get no penalty for writing laws that take the freedoms away from millions of people. If I kidnap one person for 10 years I would probably get life in prison yet they can write a law that will imprison thousands illegally and get away with it. And when the law is overturned they just re-write it and try again. Sorry, that is not acceptable! Once they are dead they can't re-write the laws that failed and other people will think twice about trying anything similar.
I haven't seen this Windows 10 update on my Win7 box! It is probably because I don't install any updates ever and have the widows updates turned to do not download, do not notify. I trust the malware infections I might get from pirated software more than I trust Microsoft.

Sorry, stars following would be "red-shifted" and stars ahead would be "blue-shifted". I put those backwards in my first post.

Lifetime warranties and assurances are for you the buyer's lifetime. Don't be facetious.
I thought it was the products lifetime. Once it's broken you don't need updates anymore.

Right, so the police need to get rid of their guns then! They cause more harm than good.

I find it most ridiculous that the anti-gun people have no problems with tons of armed cops around even though they are much more likely to be shot by a cop than they are to be shot by someone legally carrying.
Are concealed carry holders more likely to injure bystanders than the mass murdering shooter that just entered the building?
In short, if you are going to be armed in public and you aren't 100% mentally stable while packing (and a large percentage of the population is at least a bit shy of that mark)
