No, its more like a fire piston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... Of course, because its so small and moving so slow, the piston has a closed end, but with the railgun, the projectile is moving so quickly that it can simply compress the air ahead of it in the barrel against the other air in the barrel fast enough to cause it to ignite.
Its not their weed killer and customer service that is in question with Monsanto, its the fact that they hunt down and sue people who's crops have accidentally cross pollinated with their neighbors crops, and now carry Monsanto's patented genes. Its the fact that they have been infinitely careless with their genetically modified crops, such that some have escaped into the wild to a degree that it is virtually impossible to find wild samples of the plants in question that do not contain the modified genes Monsanto developed.
Can you imagine what it would take for the medical bureaucracy that can't seem to find its own ass with two hands, a stethoscope and a flashlight to pull off suppressing a working cure? My main argument against 'Conspiracy Theories' is that most large organizations are so incompetent at doing there actual jobs, they in no way have the level of skill, organization and attention to detail required to make any decent conspiracy work for any length of time that can be measured without resorting to planck units.
It weighs that much and gets that bad of milage because its as close to being an Abrams tank as you can get while still looking like a limo. I don't think the president has much of a say in the vehicles they use to transport him, and "The Beast" exists mostly because of Kennedy and various other attempts on American presidents. Besides, there are far more effective ways for the president to "Lead" us into a greener future. (Maybe cutting back on those vacations that are half a planet worth of jet fuel away for one.)
Yeah, the foreign names just blew by without me comprehending a thing. (I was up to the 600wpm setting by the time I finished the website). The other downside is, at that rate, if you blink, you miss nearly half a dozen words, and that can make you lose context, and everything becomes a useless jumble for a few seconds.
This. Forever this. Nothing is so frustrating as being a visual learner, and having to weed through videos where someone blathers on for 15 minutes to finally show you the 35 seconds of useful information. Also, to people who have 'intros' on their videos that are longer than the actual content after the intro: I hate you all.
He was being paid by the hospital, to use the model aircraft to get arial pictures of the hospital, for the hospitals advertising campaign. I doubt trespassing was the issue here. the FAA's primary problem is that he's running afoul of their "no drones for profit" rule, and they are using the bystanders and helipad presence to make him seem more vile and reckless. TBH, no one probably thought the idea through worth a hell. (really? your going to fly a model plane near a helipad?) but at the same time, the FAA's "You can't use a foam glider with a camera for profit" rule is over reaching.
The difference is, Manned model ships serve a particular purpose. They are pretty much always used for training, as they are designed to handle and react like the full size versions. (they use them to train ship pilots to dock and maneuver at low speeds). There is no equivalent purpose for a model aircraft.
Sure, a lot of them are just steering wheel holders, but after a year or so, they learn that there life is easier if they do particular things. That, or they quit/get fired because they tipped a truck over.
I guess I forgot about the added tax for living at the end of the civilized world. The only local place that carries the stainless K-Cups has them at 35$.
I work in a small grocery store, and I assure you, even our delivery trucks don't go back empty. from our small store, at the very least, two bales of cardboard weighing about 500 lbs each go back on, along with dozens of bags of plastic for recycle, pallet size cooler boxes, along with a few stacks of pallets from the previous load. More than once I have seen the driver arrange the load so the all heavy stuff (the paper bales and pallets) where on the left side of the trailer, and the light stuff on the right. When I asked him about it, he told me that the forecast called for crosswinds to be from the left on the way home, and he was arranging the trailer to keep it from tipping. Decent truck drivers know all about wind, and how to compensate for it.
If you scrounge around Google for say, 17 seconds, and maybe use the worlds 'Insulated', 'French' and 'Press', preferably in that order, you will find, I kid you not; a veritable cornucopia of products that will satisfy your demands.
The demand for 'convenience' today is what is going to finally make me snap and beat someone to death with frozen fish in the meat department. But I digress. Coffee.
Grind it the night before and seal it in a zip bag, its not going to lose much of its flavor overnight, and will still be far better than commercially ground anything.
If you want the 'convenience' of the K-Cup machines, they do make this hilariously expensive stainless steel refillable K-Cups you can pack with your own grounds. This is the only reason I can see owning one. (don't have to clean an entire coffee maker, just rinse out the little pod)

also known as a fire piston. There is a cool video on youtube of a guy building one entirely out of acrylic, so you can see the ignition inside.
You get enough oxygen and heat into a situation, and damn near anything will burn. (yay, the fire triangle!)
It is pretty terrifying the scale at which Monsanto has been carless with its experimentation. Their projects seem to be escaping into the wild and replicating at an alarming rate. http://www.nature.com/news/201... and http://www.kgw.com/news/USDA-N...

Monsanto should have won this. Comcast merely hates its own customers. Monsanto actively hunts down and destroys peoples livelihoods.
I played for me in safari, but it was larger than my fullscreen window, so I gave up on it immediately.
What the hell is that? did M.C. Esher write that textbook?

And at 600 wpm, blink, and you miss half a sentence. Not for contact lens wearers.

Of course an RFID chip makes sense. That way you can sell your overpriced locked in coffee pods for even MORE money!

Thanks for that, made my day.

Only if you buy the (thirty dollar) stainless steel refillable coffee pod, and then grind and brew your own.
