Phone 101 and you'll be lucky if anyone bothers to answer before you get a message saying to contact via social media or email or die of old age, so what do people do? They phone the emergency 999 number and clog it up. Though if someone has just stolen your car or chucked a brick through your window its an emergency for you.

Comment Re:A FedEx truck... (Score 1) 35

I had a FedEx truck clip a support wire for an electric pole in front of my house. It pulled on the pole so much that it and 2 poles in each direction were all wobbling. The lines where swaying so much that the lines must have arced, and caused power to go out at my house and several of my neighbors. The damage that this drone did was very mundane in comparison. Why would this require an FAA investigation?

Because Amazon! Because capitalism! Heck, probably because Trump somehow!

Sheesh, get with the program! ;)

"If there is, it is extremely weak, below the scale of Higgs interactions, on the scale of gravity"

And you know this how? Where is the proof that these forces can't exist given we have no way to measure them?

"The best fit to the data is a particle that doesn't interact with baryonic matter or itself."

Since when? The CBR gives no such indication, just a general indication of the spread of baryonic matter in the early universe. It says nothing whatsoever about dark matter.

It's a logical error to make an analogy, without also demonstrating that it applies to the situation. (Common mistake when people discuss legal things, which is why such conversations are often confusing).
