Sure, he called out the protesters, and threatened prosecution, but he always adds "even though we won the election … by a landslide … and we were robbed". The 'beacon' of Democracy, once a symbol around the world, has been turned into the 'laughing stock', of the world by D Trump, and his useful idiots. Last time we saw shit like this was the 20s, when B Mussolini marched on Rome to take power by fascist intimidation and violence, or the street battles and violence by Hitler's Nazi party, that eventually saw the end of the Weimar Republic, and forced von Hindenburg to appoint him Chancellor. I would be willing to bet, both Mexico, and Canada, will pay for their own border walls now.

Just making themselves seem environmentally friendly; full electric will only haul batteries, not very many people. Reminds me of early environmentalists, 40-50 years ago, touting electric clean power as opposed to dirty fossil fuels, at a time when a large portion of electric power was produced by burning coal !

I don't believe so. The last couple of months of the President's even crazier behavior, with the election fraud claims and tampering, and the mess with Covid relief payouts, has fractured the Republican party, and looks to have given democrats control of the Senate; something they wouldn't have even imagines 2 months ago.

Seems like a reasonable idea. After all we treat allergic reactions the same way; we treat the symptoms of an over-reacting immune system, instead of trying to 'control' the immune system to NOT over-react to essentially harmless substances. It would take a lot longer, so not the way to go during a world-wide pandemic, but a better understanding of the human immune system, how it varies with different people, and methods to control immune reactions, might be an alternate mechanism in the future.

It is much easier to tell if something is NOT random, than if it IS random. Take the 29 digit fraction .0000026535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 which seems totally random. Yet, if you add 3.14159 to it, you end up with Pi , to 30 significant digits; not random at all. So, was the fraction random, or did we lack information ?

Looks like somebody trashed the memory crystals in Superman's Fortress of Solitude. No seriously … very nice !

Isn't the act of a sitting President committing election tampering an impeachable offense ? Congress should immediately convene to start the process. Oh, wait … that's already happened !

I'm not sure if D Trump was the useful idiot of the GOP, or if the GOP were D Trump's useful idiots. Those people in INow's photos are there for D Trump, not the GOP. If anything, he seems to have fractured the GOP into the group that wants to cut him loose ( including M McConnell now ), and those who cling to his coat tails in the faint hope of retaining power ( no matter how crazy, and illegal, he gets ). Maybe the Democrats should be thanking D Trump, he has exposed the craziness of the current GOP, and may well end up wrecking their current organization.

???? Maybe if it was 'heavenly' bodies, instead of 'celestial' … ( is your mind always in the gutter ? )

Yes, you are ! Most accurate thing you've said, so far.

Maybe that 'pass the time' job you do for the Government. Certainly not this unpaid gig, which takes up most of your time, as a forum administrator.

I he didn't know, a 'reasonable' person would ask Studiot what he meant. Studiot would be more than glad to help, and explain further. A 'not so reasonable' person might start immediately making assertions about limits, derivatives, circular actions, angular momentum, and 'superimposing'. Which one are you ?

I do not like living in a society where Religious leaders 'interpret' scriptures to govern people, instead of people choosing their representatives to govern them. So I choose to live in the Western world, governed by elected Governments; not ruled by Religious Clerics, Kings, or Dictators. Apparently a lot of Muslims do also, as they are emigrating to Europe and North America in large numbers. I guess they don't like that 'way of life' either. By the way, most of us know 'jihad' means struggle, or effort, but what does it have to do with Sharia Law in the US, and how has 'jihad' been used in the past ? Words take on new meaning according to what they describe; if you use 'jihad' to describe religious wars, or violent actions, eventually that is what it comes to mean. PS Quite a bit of the Middle Age Islamic science was 'old' Greek science, which Muslims preserved, but Europe did not.

Santa must have been good to Phi, and he's paying it forward.

I guess you still need to do some work on your question posing. And forget your assumptions, or insights, or whether it 'sounds like' limits and derivatives, or circular and angular momentum. Also don't bother pointing anything out to people who understand this stuff much better than you can even imagine.

Don't make absurd assertions, which a high school student can prove false. Post ideas beginning with " I think … ", and then provide evidence for your ideas, which we can rebut. on this forum, preachers and bloggers usually end up getting banned.

Why are you cleaning the back of your mirror, instead of the glass side ?

The Western world has been trying to separate Democratic Government from Religion, for hundreds of years. And many members who are defending Sharia Law, also oppose the large influence Southern Baptists have over the current American Government. I do not agree with the way things are done in many other countries, simply because it's their 'way of life'. It can be 'wrong' ( to me ) even if it is their heritage; and why I choose not to live there ( as do many of their people ).

Well, this wasn't at all related to New Year's eve ...

High wing aircraft tend to be more stable, as the mass is underslung, rather than balanced atop, the lifting surfaces. I have heard of this called the 'pendulum', or the Keel, effect. Stability can be compensated for by other means ( dihedral ), so it's not really a deciding factor; other things, like length of the landing gear, or ,having to fuselage mount the landing gear in drag producing fairings, are. On the other hand, most transport aircraft, or any other where access to the fuselage for loading from ground level, is needed, tend to have high wing mounting. This is usually done with a bulkhead accommodating the carry-through structure, so it is a lot stronger, and doesn't need the drag inducing struts/braces, as in the above pictures.

Don't get a reclining chair like our work chairs ( look like your 1st image, but $800 a pop ). Temptation in is always there to recline, and catch a few zzzs.

To be fair, we don't know of any lifeless planets. There are places on Earth which were thought to be lifeless until recently. All we know for sure, is that there are planets that don't support 'our kind' of life, in the universe. But 'other kinds' of life … we're not so sure. Mostly, however,planets do serve a purpose. To stand on.

But you are looking at it from the point of view of a left wing urban dweller. Try putting on their shoes, and recognize what's important to them. I'm talking about coal miners in West Virginia and Wyoming, who are losing jobs with no replacements in sight. I'm talking about farmers in the mid-west where farming has become big business, and local farmers have been pushed out. Or older people in Florida and Arizona, who have worked hard all their lives, and have to get by on a pension which is less than what is paid to younger people ( some of whom never work ) by social assistance. Or people who go fight for their country, and risk their very lives, so that some left wing urban dwellers have the right to protest them ( and call them murderers ), deny them jobs, and take away their veteran's benefits. These disillusioned people, whether right or wrong in their grievances, are easily taken advantage of by hucksters like D Trump; and we end up with the situation we've had the last 4 years. The Democrats, and J Biden are now lawmakers and the President of these people also. Don't ignore them, or else 2024 is going to be another bad year.

Like your post also INow. It illustrates simple facts extremely well, and the Republicans have managed to work it to their favor. But the one fact that is not apparent to any of us, nor to either Political party, is the huge chasm between what is important to rural voters, as opposed to urban voters. If democrats start to address the grievances of rural voters, they might color some of those large swathes of red areas blue. ( I really don't think its lack of information, or D Trump's attractive personality ) And the Republicans would have to either fold, or change

Obviously aliens. And I can post twice as much evidence as you did. ( 2 x 0 = 0 ) If our orbital speed was wrong, accurately sending probes to Venus and Mars, as well as fly-bys of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, would be extremely difficult. Is that why you posted those conspiracy photos of Martian landscapes; you think probes didn't actually land/fly by there ? I wonder where those photos of the Jupiter fly by, from JUNO, New Horizons, Cassini-Huygens, Ulysses, Galileo, and Voyagers 1, 2, 10, and 11, came from ? ( with Voyager 2 doing fly bys of all four gas giants ) List of missions to the outer planets - Wikipedia If one calculates the orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun, it is in close agreement with observed values. If the observed values are wrong, then the calculated values must be wrong, and the masses of the Earth and the Sun are wrong. Is that why your graphic shows different sizes for the Earth and Sun ? Yet a calculation using that mass of the Earth, and its radius, which you say is wrong, yields the appropriate value of the acceleration due to gravity, g . And that seems to be exactly the measured value of g , since at least the time of Galileo. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia I wonder what value you get using your values for mass and radius of the Earth ?
