Those are not examples of thermodynamic law limiting something. There is a specific energy cost associated with producing an anti-proton; it is not possible to produce one without incurring that cost, else perpetual motion would be possible.
I knew the amount had to be on that order, or we'd have noticed the gamma ray flashes of our space vehicles passing through it. Anti-matter is so very hugely energy intensive to make, we'll never use it for fuel. It's just a bad deal. We'll be using fusion for advanced space travel
Try your oxygen lance on a modern bank vault door, you'll be embarrassed at your lack of progress after many hours (when all your cylinders have run out). The material of choice is now a special concrete, the metal you see on the outside is just to make it look pretty. The stuff has over ten times the strength of normal concrete, and conducts heat well so quite difficult to get small area up to melting point. See the mythbusters episode when they tried to get into that type of safe, much thinner than vault, done eventually but too much time to be practical and of course by that time had also destroyed safe contents.
Instead of metal, the main material in a modern vault door is a proprietary concrete mix that has more than ten times the strength of a similar thickness of standard reinforced concrete. Even a thermal lance is impractical, hours needed to make a small hole
And a 25 kilo or more dog can open the veins on a bar-wielding perp before he knows or can see what attacked him.
You want to see ruthless, that's a dog who thinks his owner is in mortal danger. Something flips in their brain, and they get as hard to put down as a wolf.
I"ll bet on the one who has spent hundreds or thousands of hours training with a weapon or martial arts system. Ruthlessness toward the enemy can be trained. As former range officer I've seen that people who haven't fired a gun much have absurdly huge groups at average gunfighting distance. The gang gunfights we have in the nearby huge city bear that out, intended targets usually don't get hit at seven meters plus distance while other people and things do.
The only solution is to cut the monster of a federal government's size down. Nothing else. Authorising more spending just makes matter worse, even the wished-for "taxing the rich" will be insufficient to solve the growing debt problem.
les than 13% of congressmen have declared themselves aligned with Tea Party. Quit looking for a scapegoat of being some minority you happen to hate. Probably your party of choice is to blame, just for not being able to ever come up with a direction
I blame Obama for continuing each and every type of asshattery that Bush and Cheney did, he's a mega-corporate bitch and pathalogical liar, hell bent on continuing our augering into the ground.
I often eat food with all that good stuff in it, was wondering if upping the dose would have certain pheronome-like effects, even if only on women from certain parts of the world.
hmmmm, but not to smell like dinner in places where cannibalism was recently given up.....
The "black light" was invented in 1935, by Dr. William Byler, a prolific inventor most of his life's work was with luminescent chemicals including florescent ones.
The female agents also have a UV detected invisible ink source that responds to self-pleasure. Actually, the ink from that source may not be invisible for 3-7 days a month.
Dried semen shows under two well known "development" methods, both heat and UV. Better to use "ink" that only show under uncommon reagent, but that user would be reasonably expected to possess for another use.
The Chinese who built the railroads did so for wages that were higher than what they could get back home, and there were also crews of european descent whites working with them. Now well interesting their salary was $26-$35 while whites doing comparable work got $35 plus food and shelter, that's not slavery just ethnic/racial discrimination in pay.
"breakfast and beer", I didn't realize they had to be stated separately.
If I owned a pub open early in the day, I would do like the cereal manufacturersfor a TV commercial: "Our pilsen is a delicious part of this balanced breakfast!"
You and the moderators are brainwashed. The United States has trillions (multiple of ten to the twelve power) of barrels of petroleum reserves. Absolute verifiable fact.
doesn't help when the humans are *there* and the stuff of interest is thousands of kilometers away. cheap proles, reprogrammable remotely, are the way to go for now.

Good vault and safe designs use that thinking.

That's been a constant problem of the Democratic party, having no plan and no unity due to cowardice.
I despise both parties, don't think this attack from Republican
Enron, junk tranched into AAA.....institutional investors need other criteria that actually has merit

aw c'mon, aluminum and then silicon are the most abundant metal/metalloids in the earth's crust. THEN it's iron!

yeah, maybe the contractor already got their big bucks for the stick, but the dumb-ass corporate spy later dropped it

relax, in the strip the two characters are standing around waiting for an analysis machine to go *ding*

that must be a niche predilection

I especially like the frame where the dude removes his required uncomfortable safety goggles for a bit because no one will notice.
