  1. Re: Seems like a hydrogen fuel cell or two on Researchers Explore New Batteries To Power Electric Planes (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think you realize just how much electricity is needed. No, "a small hydrogen fuel cell or two" would not provide anywhere near the necessary power for the type of aircraft they're talking about. Maybe for something like a single engine 2 seater cesna ...

    why not steal the idea of an assisted take off from the Navy and the steam catapult?

    It's one of those catch-22 situations; no manufacturer is going to build a plane which requires that system until the system is in use on a very large number of airfields .... and no airfield is going to pay to install those systems until there are planes which actually need them.

    You better go fix wikipedia, then. The article over there says that as of 2017 "the record for Q is held by the JET tokamak in the UK, at Q = (16 MW)/(24 MW) â 0.67".

    Of course over there they expect you to produce silly things like "citations", which we obviously don't require here.

    I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "the other way around" given that there are more than just two trends shown by thus data. Can you expand on that? What is it you think would be the other way around, and why?

    Well there you go. Apparently all it takes to be a Nazi is to go to a political event ... and you are somehow confused by why it's hard to not be a Nazi.

    Looking at the first plot in your link, I don't think that's the way I'd summarise it. To first order, I'd put it as: "Women prefer men of their own race, whatever that might be. Men are okay with women of any race except black.".

    Not sure that's entirely accurate given that Asian women preferred white men, and "Latina" women were essentially tied for white/Latino. But yeah, OK, in general, women express more of a racial in-group bias than men. If it were the other way around there'd be no shortage of feminists screaming about how men are more racist than women ... but as it stands everyone just ignores it.

    Some other first-order slices: "If you're a woman, it's best to be Asian. If you're a man, it's best to be white.".

    Yeah, the different between Asian women and White women is small, but the Asian women to have a slight edge. Whereas white men do overwhelmingly better than any other men.

    So much for that "white male incel" stereotype.

  10. If the ADL has claimed that then they are clearly wrong, but I've never heard them say anything remotely like that and I suspect it's just another talking point invented by their critics. You wouldn't by any chance happen to have a citation to support that assertion?

    The only thing they dictate is, "don't be a nazi."

    Usually that is easy, what makes it so hard in your experience?

    Well, I didn't think it was hard, until those nice folks at ANTIFA informed me that wearing a red "make bitcoin great again" hat makes you a Nazi. And then proceeded to pepper spray the girl who was wearing it.

  12. I came here to say something similar. People confuse sex and gender.

    They're not confusing sex and gender; they're just refusing to accept your newspeak redefinitions. It doesn't matter how many times you try and pretend that sex and gender are distinct and unrelated concepts, we just think you're retarded. Kinda like when other SJW nitwits say things like "black people can't be racist because racism requires power". No. You're just making shit up and redefining words to suit your politics. Fuck off.

  13. You see a group that you would never really consider persecuting, out there making demands. And the only big mistake you're making is assuming that, because you would never consider persecuting someone for something like that, that nobody would - and so their demand for explicit protection comes across as a demand for special attention

    Demanding that other people pretend that you're a gender which you are clearly not is not a "demand for explicit protection". It's an infringmenet on the rights of everyone else. I'm very sorry that some people want to persecute you; that does not give you the right to force everyone else to kowtow to your whims. If you stop trying to force me to reject reality I will gladly come to your defense if/when someone comes to persecute you. If you keep trying to force me to reject reality, I'm going to be far less sympathetic when they come for you.

  16. I don't know many Ashkenazi that identify as "white" except when asked if they are white, black asian etc

    I don't know many people of any religion who would. If you're only hanging out with white nationalists them I suppose, to you, it might seem perfectly natural for people to just randomly tell you that they're white, but it is not exactly commonplace in society at large.

  17. You certainly can criticize Israel or Zionism without being an antisemite, but that doesn't change the fact that a significant portion of the criticism leveled against them is antisemtic in nature (with much of the rest being anti-western instead). People who can provide a rational and nuanced critique of either Israel or Zionism are far and few between.

  18. If Jews are white then why can my DNA test come back saying 23.5% Ashkenazi *Jewish*?

    Because the Ashkenazi people were pretty much 100% Jewish. It would be as if your DNA test came back saying you were 23.5% Norse Pagan. Kind of a dumb way to state it; you can drop the religious portion of either result and not actually lose anything. It certainly wouldn't mean that you yourself are pagan, or that all pagans are Norse.

    I do agree; society apparently does not. Ergo I would like to - at the very least - see some consistency. If businesses aren't allowed to discriminate based on religious grounds then they shouldn't be allowed to discriminate based on any other ideology either.

    You'd think pale skin would be a much bigger draw in the dating market, wouldn't you?

    It is. OK cupid has done a bunch of studies on this over the years. Whites consistently come out on top, and blacks consistently scrape the bottom, with black women scoring even worse than black men. Asian men also get screwed over, while Asian women do quite well.

    Of course the offline dating market may not be quite the same as the online one ... feel free to conduct your own study and test that hypothesis.

  23. Dr. Wang reviewed the ICE report ICE wrote saying ICE had treated her fairly. She had no other information.

    This makes it obvious that you're not just misinformed but rather a wilful liar. The report from Vice goes into detail covering exactly what kind of treatment she received, and even the mother has been open about the fact that her child was treated on multiple occasions while in ICE custody (her main complaint about the treatment seems to be that the waiting room was "over air conditioned". Quelle horreur).

    So you're just an asshole willfully making up bullshit to try and score political points. Anything else you have to say is entirely worthless.

  24. She wasn't treated in ICE care.

    Yes she was.

    Her fever wasn't investigated.

    Yes it was.

    Dr. Ewen Wang comments are simply her interpretting the report from ICE.

    Yes, Dr. Wang reviewed the record of the treatment which the child recieved (you know, the treatment which you keep pretending she didn't receive) while in ICE custody and came to the conclusion that it met the standard of reasonable care.

    When she was released her mother took her to hospital (because she obviously needed it), and she died.

    Yet you don't blame the mother for taking a sick child across the border, or the hospital for not saving her life after several weeks of treatment. No, it's ICE fault. Because orange man bad.

    Sure it's not YOUR child yet. You are an American, they could never do that to you.

    No I'm not.

    They're not snatching YOUR child yet, they might be taking your vote (e.g. refusing to accept student id as proof of being a student for voting purposes), and they may be taking away your Article 14th citizenship, but not your child.

    If you think that proof of being a student is the same as proof of citizenship, you're probably an idiot.

    And anyway, your child has legal rights, which the child is made to sign away with a crayon mark on a legal form.

    Scratch that; definitely an idiot.

    Fucking Nazi apologist.

    They killed her, it was illegal, they know it, they kicked her out with a cover story and she died. Not your child.... yet.

    It's cute that democrats try to pretend to be the honest and rational ones while constantly spitting out garbage like this. You make Trump look like a paragon of truth and virtue.
