Wasting your time. They have had the 2nd explained to them more often then a creationist has had evolution explained to them. They don't want to know.

You cannot educate 'willful ignorance'. It's a waste of time to try.

A better question. Why would you want someone photographing your wedding that hated you?

I'd prefer to spend my money on someone else.

Paraphrasing Ben Franklin. 'Why would you want to shut-up your opponents. Let them talk, encourage them to talk. That way everybody knows they are idiots.'

The world is a large place, gays will find photographers and bakers. Holy rollers will lose money. It's not 1950, assets are not so closely held and there are plenty of heathens, even in the bible belt.

Which do you think is a bigger #, dollars spent improving working conditions in China or dollars spent advertising about improving working conditions in China?

Again: You have an old books of fallacies (Marx), we have history. You are wrong.

Do the math. How hot would a black body have to be to radiate 10 kW/meter?

Solar sails are not new physics.

Actually the entire idea of these special entitlements that destroy individual rights TO DISCRIMINATE is a power grab by the insane government that is out of control.

Individual people discriminate every day. As a potential employee you can choose to work for a one legged Brazilian tranny and there is nothing any of the other potential employers can do to stop this obvious bigotry and discrimination by you against their businesses, NOR should there be anything they could do to force you to work for them. That's EXACTLY the same thing.

PRECISELY the same thing, since you working for a company is exactly like a company doing work for other people. When you buy a product you are buying work done by a company for you. A company is people standing behind it (corporations are in fact people, not as in 'Google is a living person', it is not. It is as in Google is owned by people, that's the people corporations are). A person that owns/runs a company has his or her right to discriminate and the Constitution of the USA is there to protect that right.

A right is a protection against government oppression and abuse, nothing else.

A government telling somebody that just because they are employing somebody they now lost a right is abuse and oppression and a power grab and unconstitutional and illegal and immoral.

Should people discriminate against each other based on sex, gender, age, race, colour? We know that some will and some do. If a business does so, it will face consequences whatever they are in the market. As to a belief that just because a business exists somewhere you automatically get an entitlement to their service - that is hubris and destruction of the people running that business as individuals and it cannot stand.

A particle beam weapon is very similar to an ion thruster.

One difference is that the beam weapon has to neutralize the exiting plasma's charge to keep the beam from spreading. Not an issue for a thruster. Of course that means the ship will develop a pretty good charge.

Of-course you are absolutely 100% correct, which was my first comment on this topic before the one you replied to. But my first comment appears to be extremely unpopular here.

In case of thie flight, it would have helped if the captain had a code that would have opened the door regardless of it being locked from the inside. But then the copilot might have just killed him first, before diving the plane to the ground.

We are all pretty good at fighting yesterday's battles. This happened in Europe, but in the USA there was time people could fly with only a ticket and not any ID, they could bring their guns with them too. Now you cannot have a gun, the cockpits are locked with farely strong doors because everybody is scared of terrorists, they didn't even have an axe on board, just a crowbar. Apparently the captain tried breaking the door with a crowbar, I wonder if he tried breaking the wall beside the door. Flying is completely fucked up, TSA harasses you and then you don't know if a psychotic pilot will kill you anyway.

How about TRYING FREEDOM for a change? Bring your ticket, allow people to take their guns with them and keep axes on board while removing insane cockpit doors?

Sure, everything can still go wrong, at least you are not just a sardin in a can, hoping not to be eaten this time around.

Preventing them from blowing the newest Rover would be entertaining, half the fucking point. Clarkson would explode.

Are you seriously saying that you are paying £55 per month for cable with a 200mb cap? I have never seen anything with a cap that low in the UK - that's one neflix program and your month is up

Your performance is limited by the tire contact patch vs the weight of the car. (Don't even answer if all you've got is the first order friction approximation.)

Upgraded brakes without upgraded tires first is almost certainly a waste of money. Were the old brakes incapable of locking the tires?

Brake upgrades will improve your control and brake feel. But the tire is the limiting factor.
