Comment Re:Test sites or bases? (Score 1) 78

Not having ever shot a gun in my life or been around those who have I've always wondered why when I see them shooting their clay pigeons or skeet shooting or whatever is they say 'pull' to release the target.

What is it exactly they're pulling on?

I mean I'd understand it if the said that when pulling the trigger on the gun but they say 'pull' to release the target - well before the trigger 'pull'.

Any ideas?

Or the Bible. Or whatever else it is you have to use to escape the truth on a day to day basis.

Fact of the matter is now that we can receive safe and effective sterilization procedures there's no real need for any further suffering or the furtherance of fairy tales in the vain attempt to shelter against the cold hard reality of the absolutely, unequivocally, and horrifiying nothing.

We can stop the madness.

I know I have.

The second law of thermodynamics means that all of this is for nothing regardless of if we manage to escape the gravity well that birthed us before our star boils off the planet.

Since no information can travel between universes that means the heat death of THIS universe is the end of any coherent information whatsoever.

Not just atoms will fall apart but even protons will decay.

There may be a lot of time yet but entropy will win, in the end.
