Yes, its really that implausible. Of course international phone calls where expensive back then, and you could get them free if you knew what you where doing.
My tablet went missing. The supervisor was convinced that it was them that took it (as in the TSA was convinced it was the TSA!). Unfortunately the cameras/servers were not working properly so he couldn't review the footage before my flight.
No slingatron need to be similar sizes for similar accelerations. That just plain physics. You don't need a magic track for the internal cable or pellets in a launch loop. While a slingatron does with the forces involved. Of course as i said neither is as good as a mass driver with current materials/tech. And Rockets just work well for what they do. Better tech makes rockets better too.
Seriously give a proper reference. There is nothing that suggests that an only mammal diet would make the consumer more toxic to eat. Their physiology is just not different enough. What bioaccumulation is specific to just mammals that is neutralized by eating some non mammal food? It does not make any logical sense.
I have eaten cats just fine, and this is wild cat in NZ forest. You need some poisons to accumulate in the first place and this happens in fish too, yet we eat them just fine. In fact most fish are carnivores of carnivores.
Sure if you just eat cat that may not be good for you over a life time. But then eating just rabbit isn't either. And rabbit is much more tasty than cat.
These proposed manned space flight missions *are* pointless. They are a waste of resources and won't achieve anything. The will not achieve self sustaining space colonies *ever*. And yes we can know that we have quite a time. At least centuries and millennial with very high probability, and a true human extinction event we till the sun makes earth uninhabitable in a few billion years! Unless you don't believe the data. In which case how is more science or manned space mission going to improve your decision making?
Its a moot point anyway. The billions NASA would need to send a fish to the moon will only materialize in the form a pork. Won't amount to much and meanwhile progress will march forward on all fronts regardless and in spite of NASA. Soon enough manned space flight cheap enough for the masses will happen. It may take a century or so. But meh, as far as species preservation goes, that's nothing. And besides, with will a large hunk of rock. It won't wipe us out here anyway.
You know that newer planes need the computer to fly. Also you need the hydraulics, engines etc. They are all machines that need to be reliable otherwise the pilot makes no difference at all. Because one machine uses electricity does not make it less safe or less of a machine or for that matter less important for some aircraft. And then we train pilots to behave and respond like a machine.... Which doesn't work out that well in practice.
Sure there are a lot of planes out there that have little of the modern fly by wire stuff and all that. But that is not the same as pilots are not the issue when it comes to safety. How many are killed each year due to "pilot error". How many are saved? Be careful of Truthiness here.
If you can't handle the aircraft and the airports is going to land at, don't be the pilot. Can't wait till we get rid of pilots altogether. Will make flying even safer than it already is.
Fact is if we are switching to insects for sustainability reasons, it makes more sense to go vegetarian or full vegan than to eat a different source of meat. After all meat more or less only has what its eaten less what it uses to say alive. Thing is most of what an animal eats is to keep it alive.
They have done some great stuff with very small portions of the money. Mars rovers, Hubble and even with cost over runs JWS will be epic. NASA needs to spend less on manned space missions which are expensive for little or no return and focus on what it does well. Science.
Intent is less important that application. The law may have the intention of safety, but random application by the DA/whoever may make it anything but.
Yea, everyone is so nice here on/., reddit even nicer. The nicest bunch of people on the internet is of course 4chan. Oh wait not its all the same. WoW teenagers, vocie chat on just about any xbox game. Its the fwad theory of the internet. Eve is not an exception. And its not for pussies.
A light enough shade it really could be enough. In fact it sounds quite doable. If you can make it big enough. Interesting fact, satellites that are orbiting a bit further out than 1000km need to take the solar pressure on solar panels into account for fuel budgets.
I play maybe 3-6 hours a week. Sometimes, like when on holiday i don't log on for weeks. Eve has a nice real time training mechanic that means i don't need to grind every single day to stay competitive. Its less time than many "real world workers" probably spend watching TV, probably sports that they take far too seriously.
Whats wrong with people choosing different entertainment? And for most its entertainment. The ransom for an expensive ship from a friend of mine, was to sing lady gaga's poker face song over the coms!
I play eve. I like eve. I do physics. Eve is a game and is so far away from accurate simulation of anything. So much so that my physics and pilot background sometimes make it hard for me to understand why some of my fights go pear shaped. I am working out the mechanics. But its not accurate in any way or form.
And if it was, it would be so stupidly boring that no one would ever play it.
So why should it be easy? Why should it be easy for a 3 month account to blast a 3 year account? Why should they not behave they way they do? You seem to think there is a such a thing as a "correct" attitude... which probably translates more closely to "things should be the way i want them to be and i should win".

Yes. The answer is always yes. Oh and we are all going to die.

Why not? What biological or medical reason is there?
Here in Switzerland Horse is fairly common.
C will make you a better programmer? Don't be soft and use assembly instead!

The solar wind won't push much at all. Light pressure however will be quite substantial.

Only if your a trader......

Eve is a lot of things. But its not a minor MMO.
Your doing just fine without eve.
