Gresham's Law is an economic principle that states: "When a government compulsorily overvalues one type of money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear from circulation into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation."
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you
That is it, only $7 billion. To put that number into perspective that is about 2 days of deficit spending (not total spending for those 2 days just the deficit) for the US government.
Is that you? How's business doing in Reno, Mr. Mayor?
FTFS: "A new species of heterodontosaur, called Pegomastax, has been identified. (...) Pegomastix might have been covered in porcupine-like quills, making for perhaps the least attractive dinosaur of all time."
Being hetero is not an effective species survival strategy if you're not attractive!

Whatever you do, don't call it Shirley.
I propose they call it the Tereshkova. Well, either that or "Larry" Wachowski.
Yeager did it in level flight - a huge difference
Yeager's plane was called "X-1" and Welch's "F-86"--huge difference.

Baumgartner achieved speed of sound 'autonomously' without first sitting in a high-speed jet but by freefalling.
Now we'll have to ask: "Is that 'free' as in beer, speech, fall or will?"
...is xenophobic, what hope does mankind have?
FTFS: "By quick show of hands, how many out there think that broadband is a luxury?' Next question: 'How many out there think it is a human right?
Actually exercising their human rights is a luxury for the vast majority of people in the world.
On the other hand, the right to enjoy luxuries is also being curtailed.

The lightning connector has no specific orientation and I find it much easier to connect, especially in the dark.
You must be fun at "parties" (wink, wink)!
Are the usual ways of complying with government-mandated "targets".
No but from what his bio looks like I kind of wish I was him, I would be way better off.
Employees at Livermore know him well--it's just a 4-hour drive!

"Book 'Em Danno"
In the past, this sort of stuff would have been handled by societal pressure.
The legal codification of taboos has weakened their societal enforcement, and strengthened state enforcement--counterproductively, I would say.
The Swedish legal term for defamation is actually is actually "reputational rape".
is there even a House Committee on Science, Space and Technology?
classifies me as a "non-smoker" because I smoke less than a pack a day.
Actuarial science trumps political correctness.

the p -value of their "weak measurements" was 0.5
What I meant was: If corporations are persons in that they can sue and be sued, can they also be summoned to jury duty as "peers" of the litigants?
Which is why the it's supposed to be a jury of your peers.
The case is Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. I'd like to see Microsoft, Google, IBM, Sony, et al. in a jury box!
If corporations are persons, does that mean they're subject to subpoena?
This is actually the most reasonable definition of "causation" for the following values:
"Hoc"= state of the Universe at a given instant
"Post Hoc"= state of the Universe at (given instant + infinitesimal interval)
Central banking would be gone too.
A 'Fence' surely isn't to DETECT space objects, surely a fence is to keep them out?
No, no, you misunderstand. It will be used to SELL stolen space junk!
TapMeNot uses database technology to tell you where SceneTap has placed its cameras to help bar-hoppers decide which night spot not to go to.
Mere shadows on the wall of a cavern.
