doesn’t require rare earth minerals

I recommend you look at how electrolysis is done.

Every single person draws bananas this way. It’s like painting the Sun yellow.

An Israeli intervention in Iran will end well. No way that can turn badly. None at all.

Bring back the other guy Pope Francis.

I’m pretty sure the Church has rules about that since the Middle Ages.

Didn’t you know that Nobel prizes were bearer tokens?

So… If Trump is the one calling the cards in Venezuela right now, will he answer for their new policy of arresting journalists? Also, is he the leader of the Maduro’s political party now? Because they are still the ones sitting in government…

You can always move the payload away from the centrifuge, you don’t have to spin any slower or faster.

The maximum apparent gravity is still fixed, but it’s a direct consequence of the materials available so there’s some industry standard chart somewhere where you can put those 1900 g-ton and read how many gs you can get.

Is 1 ton it’s weight limit? Dunno.

Its weight limit is 19 MN. You can divide it in any reasonable product of payload mass and apparent gravity you want.

It would be way more practical to label it by the actual weight than that gravity*mass bullshit. But engineering has some boneheaded practices that people insist on keeping alive, mostly for gatekeeping.

One of those laser weapons that are supposed to take drones down or a laser pointer?

The last plane that was lost due to collision with Venus was wild!

I don’t think on this specific case anybody has given him anything.

Again, I don’t really understand anything about what he’s thinking. But on the case of Argentina the money seems to be flowing the other way around, and on the case of Brazil the president would reap lots of benefits if Trump antagonized him further.

Hum… Trump has been throwing lavish praise on Brazil too recently.

He may have discovered that the US can’t stay rich by isolating themselves. But he has been praising countries that are mostly economic competitors, instead of customers or suppliers. I don’t understand how he thinks.

If you use moodle, it has a plugin for that, with instructions.

If you don’t use moodle, you may want to check the instructions on the plugin anyway.

You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

The government is watching us constantly. There’s no doubt about this and if you think it’s not, you are the crazy one living in fantasy land.

At the same time, how do you think a basement full of beans would help? The entire path from “the government is bad” to “therefore I’ll have a hole full of food where I can live by myself for years” is dumb magical thinking that can be shown to not work by simply looking around or reflecting about oneself for a second.

There are many valid reasons to be concerned about a disaster. And yet nobody doing your traditional prepping for anything larger than a tornado deserves respect.

It’s probably closer to legality than the Executive branch ordering presidency propaganda there.

Probably. But tariffs are also valid in one market or another, if you make them while thinking. They are way to manipulate the comparative advantages.

(And no, international trade is not a competition. It’s not “competitive advantages” that you are looking for. It’s much more complicated and much less threatening than that.)

He hadn’t done that since people told him about the joke.

It’s surreal for a politician to manage to make an apology in a way that makes people even more angry than they were originally.

They are protecting their domestic food production.

Rice prices are high mostly because their government forced farmers to diversify their crops. What means they won’t go hungry if something bad happens.

They just can’t have all the things at the same time.

Yes, every fossil fuel producer is trying to get most of the shrinking market that they know won’t last for long and will never be back. And that means that the most expensive producers will just go out of business.

Were you really expecting global warming to be avoided by the fossil fuel sellers not trying to make a profit?
