No point exists for which curvature is zero in all reference frames. Since any reference frame in the Universe that has a mass in it exerts gravity on each point, there is no point at which there is 0 gravity. That's why I agree with that previous post. It might be reaching pretty far, but that is the point of having comprehensive theories of gravity - they reach as far as there is.

Yes, that's why the world depends on New Zealand's opinion.

The US of course depends on its automotive industry to drive our entire manufacturing industry, the core of the US economy. Our manufacturing that is still by far the largest in the world, about 20% of global output. Manufacturing employs about 20% of American workers. We invent most of the world's manufacturing techniques, materials and responses like recycling; most of the rest of global manufacturing uses American machinery and feeds America's manufacturing supply chain.

The US automotive industry is the epitome of all that. New Zealanders bought more Ford Rangers last month than any other model car; 5 other Fords were in the NZ Top 25. GM isn't as popular in NZ, but it's the world's biggest car company again, over 10% larger than Toyota. Meanwhile my wife has 2000s Toyota that should have been recalled, and we've watched the later model years of them turn to crap we'd never buy.

And then there's all the great cars made in Germany, which evidently you've never heard of. America might indeed be in pretty deep trouble. But you better hope not. Because if America's manufacturing does collapse around a cratered car industry, we'll stop spending the money shooting movies Americans drive to see. Then your Top 25 will be dominated by classic 1980s Yugos.

Then don't go in to "public", stay in "private". That's why we have those two words. Do you start to scream when someone gazes at you in passing? Do you go everywhere with a balaclava on because you hate having your visage burned on to retinas wherever you go? It sounds like you're a paranoid nutcase. I'd pay good money to have you monitored by CCTV because you sound like a lunatic.

I'd like to know which site they are referring to, as it seems there are plenty of cookies which are allowed to be used without any notice at all. It would appear, so far, this is just more "lol! stoopid government!" stuff. It would help you to check this stuff out before leaping on the bandwagon and making it worse.

Surprise due today. Also the rent.
