Don't worry about it; the patent will expire by the time a working model is built.
Tritium is radioactive, and the neutrons that are produced will react with various elements to create radioactive isotopes.
Uranium is also radioactive
The cost analysis assumes that the sanctions would stop if Iran stopped their nuclear program. Would it? Or would US push for more concessions?
I'd say it has everything to do with Israel. Iran is unwilling to recognize Israel, while Saudi Arabia doesn't care. That's a lot more important than IS (which Iran is fighting) and certainly more important the democracy.
USAF should start hiring trolling kiddies from online games. No conscience issues there.
The question is not, does it happen (we all know it does), but should it happen, and should we be quiet about it.
TPP hasn't passed yet.
All the engineering in a car isn't just to make something that is light and moves fast. Slap a rocket on a small frame and you can go fast. It is a tradeoff between performance, safety, reliability, cost, features, efficiency, legality, and design. This thing looks like something that some mech-E students threw together as a senior project, not an actual thing that people could use. They make a big deal out of using 3D printed parts, but then they come up with a design that doesn't take advantage of any of the features of 3D printing, like the ability to make complex internal honeycombed shapes.
Parent modded troll?
Some algorithm reassigned the url and they can't change it? Sounds like bullshit. Google reassigned it for a reason... perhaps Lush Cosmetics paid them or something.
What are you talking about? The whole point of money in elections is to pay the media to advertize for you. The media don't pick the winner. They sell the winner.
But how will people strategically vote if they don't know what other people are voting for?
I wouldn't say that the civil rights acts are about increasing freedom, but rather increasing equality and justice. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice some freedom to increase equality and justice. This is a good thing, but let's not contort the term freedom too much.
_Every_ action impinges upon the freedom of others. The question is, how much is allowable?. And it's not a black and white question.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
