The time for light might be zero in its own frame of reference, but of course no object with rest mass could ever reach the speed of light.

This is one of those topics that attracts loonies like flies to honey. Of course in the comments below, each side thinks the other side crazy too much control or too irresponsible.

For me, I think everyone should be vaccinated for common and dangerous diseases. The uncommon ones you can chose to or not (as when traveling). People don't remember polio and smallpox or brain-damage caused by measles.

There is too long, didn't read, and there is too long without paragraph breaks, didn't read.

you are not doing yourself any favors with your lack of formatting. Unless you are adding breaks and /. is removing them.

If using HTML, add

Then it was not "literally" but "figuratively" and only relative to newer companies was it "very old". Other than that your post was very accurate and literally filled with eels.

“I would not hurt you, little man,' he said.

'I think that I got the disorder in Mullingar,' I explained. I knew that I had gained his confidence and that the danger of violence was now passed. He then did something which took me by surprise. He pulled up his own ragged trouser and showed me his own left leg. It was smooth, shapely and fairly fat but it was made of wood also.

'That is a funny coincidence,' I said. I now perceived the reason for his sudden change of attitude.

'You are a sweet man,' he responded, 'and I would not lay a finger on your personality. I am the captain of all the one-legged men in the country. I knew them all up to now except one—your own self—and that one is now also my friend into the same bargain. If any man looks at you sideways, I will rip his belly.'

Perhaps the question is whether both ends of the cable is the same.
The 3.1 micro B shown in the figure has different ends, the C version is the same at both ends (and of course the plug on each end is reversible).

As also stated by other commenters, none of these are hypothetical.
Sure you can deal with it, but it is not an easy life if those things happen regularly.

BTW. I am very happy with what I have accomplished.

And then a question you answered in more detail is marked down because you included content not covered in class, or a question requires the exact quote from the lecture instead of the facts, or your teacher is just wrong about the facts and criticizes you for disagreeing, or you answer all the questions on a test and the rest of the class is given D's because the test is on the curve.

Clean water from hundreds of miles away is contaminated and them it flows into salty ground (see Australia for an example of this.) Some of it evaporates and descends as snow or rain far away from you. A small amount is retained deeper in the ground which would be great for some plants, but not so good for tomatoes or grass.

Water is not destroyed, but you have to pay for more for the next irrigation cycle.

It might as well be destroyed. If this were not true there would not be such a debate on the volume water extraction from rivers and aquifers.

The pressure inside equals the pressure outside (which is true for us also). They are not hollow glass spheres.

The pressure does change chemistry as reactions are affected by temperature and pressure.

I agree with rational wiki and others:

"While Spencer has become an ID PRATT machine, he hasn't contributed any new cards to the creationists' deck. He mostly just parrots the greatest hits like "no transitional fossils" and "microevolution not macroevolution." He also flogs the "secular religion" trope even harder when it comes to evolution than he does for global warming."

Evolution denier is even looper than doubting isotope dating. Yep, religious agenda. From his comments on "The Evolution Crisis":

"To examine the relationship between science and the Bible, a good place to start is with the origin of the universe. Science presents us with the laws of thermodynamics, the first of which states that the total amount of matter and energy in existence is constant. If this were the only natural law to be satisfied, it would be possible to believe that the universe has existed forever. Indeed, that was the prevailing view back in Darwin's day. However, the second law of thermodynamics states the overall amount of useable energy is constantly decreasing – it is being degraded into a less useful form. In other words, the universe is dying. If the universe were eternal it would by now have experienced what astronomers call a 'heat death' – a state of total equilibrium in which entropy would be infinite. This, among other factors, has led a majority of astronomers to agree that the universe had a beginning. Several thousand years of scientific endeavour has brought the majority of scientists in line with the first verse of the Bible which states, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Well, the first three words of the verse anyway! If there is no God, who or what caused the universe to begin? There really are only two basic options – it created itself out of nothing or it was created by something greater than itself! If everything that begins to exist has a cause, and the universe began to exist, the universe must have had a cause."

"A second issue is the origin of life. There is a vast gulf between the most complex non-living compound such as a crystal and the simplest form of life such as a bacterium. The gap is much larger than the gap between a bacterium and a human being. Science, despite expending enormous amounts of time, is actually further away from an explanation as to how non-living chemicals can accidentally and spontaneously come alive than it has ever been. All the evidence on hand, both in nature and in the laboratory, points to the fact that life only ever comes from life. The Bible credits the origin of life to the power and design of a 'living' creator God."

Because he has some sort of agenda (probably a religious one)

The roots of drone are the male bee, then to unproductive parasite (not making honey), then to the sound that these bees made.

there are two paths to the modern usage: drone as parasite, and the drone sound of a plane.

A target drone would be a mix of the two being non-productive as a war ship and sounding like a plane.

As the drone targets were at least partially on auto pilot, the drones that were "productive" as war ships kept the same name.

The French system is good in this regard that everyone can go to university for one year with almost no restrictions. They have to pass to continue. The costs increase after the first year, but probably less than US schools.

In the UK at least there are charges to attend university (IIRC around £6000 per year) plus living costs. Some of the university cost can be covered by taxes or (rarely) direct grants, but most people now take out student loans to cover both the tuition and living costs.
