Comment Re:Who's dense? (Score 1) 630

But every single object you see in your daily life has buoyancy, it has to be corrected when weighing things very precisely. And am also amused at everyone spewing the 9.8 m/s^2, that's only at ONE certain distance from center of earth's mass, it varies by height and is NOT a constant at all. They are just spewing high school level simple model without understanding.

You blather without having done experiment. In point of fact acceleration due to gravity increases as distance decreases, it's not a constant. It also varies with position on the Earth. You are just spewing at a high school level of understanding, again without experimental proof

Comment Re:Must have 2 usb and Ethernet! (Score 1) 301

yes, and they have issues that a true rs-232c does not. I have to use a usb to serial often on my job for configuring certain network gear and initial configuration of big iron, it's less than ideal. When I'm in the home office I have an ancient laptop with a real serial and openbsd on it for that, it's much more robust when having to unplug and then plug into another device

It could use a few commas, but it's not terrible. "Sitting an exam" is standard Australian English, I presume. In Europe, it's commonly called "writing an exam" (they started moving from written answers to psychometry much more recently). Maybe "sitting an exam" doesn't make literal sense, but neither does "taking an exam" really; I mean, where are you taking it?

Get rid of government and see how long your liberty lasts.

Do you deny that liberty tends to erode over time? Or did a hallucination cause you to falsely believe I wanted to get rid of all government?

If neither of those is true, then I cannot understand what motivated you to write that post. It looks like a knee-jerk response to someone else's conversation.

Nope, old school high powered rifle. First shot alone would have killed him, going in his upper back, then penetrating neck, damaging vertebra in spine, through top of his right lung, and exiting his throat beneath his larynx. Then second shot made large cavity in rear of his head and send skull and brains flying.
