If you notice, paying the unlimited fee raises the broadband costs beyond the TV costs in most cases. So you can cut the cord all you want, they'll maintain their profit per customer regardless.
Without banning exclusives you get a fragmented library and have to subscribe to multiple services and end up paying more. The rich Wall Street fat cat invests in both as well and makes twice the money but wait there's more! He buys tax breaks from congress for those multiple companies so you have to pay higher taxes to make up for it. Costing you more.
It's called drag. Gravity of the black hole pulls on the nearest matter and that matter pulls on the matter nearest to it. If black holes are moving dark matter as well then that's all the mass you need to move the rest of a galaxy.
Oh so emission standards is obamas fault? i don't recall him passing any. the last fleet economy standard update was likely under Bush. Oh and it's updated by congress not the president.
A for profit has one motive and that's profit at any cost. If they think they can make a profit by cutting safety to the bone regardless of meltdown risk they will. There are meltdown proof designs yet we can't get them built to replace our current time bombs and worse what did get approved recently was an old design.
I'm also against calling it nuclear power. It's just another form of geothermal power. Wake me when we turn nuclear interactions directly into usable power not steam.
I have a 4K HDR Dolby Atmos dedicated theater in my basement. Sure a 100 foot screen is great and all, but I have better sound and video on my 133" screen than any theater within a 18 hour drive. I would gladly pay that fee, it would be cheaper than me and my wife going because of the cost of a sitter.
So you're saying someone was level with the plane on the runway right? Cause either planes have windows in the floor or they take off upside down now. I just done see how a plane at a 45 degree angle or higher at takeoff gets a laser shot through the pilots window.
That's about when those new parks open.
If they are capable of constructing such a structure, they've obviously mastered the process of turning energy into matter. Planets are not enough to build what's required to create a structure of this size. First 8 light minutes away means you're talking orders of magnitude larger surface area than the star itself just for our star. The first 4 planets don't have enough metals to construct a basic shell big enough to create something to dim our star by 20%.
The most difficult part is to ensure the parts remain in place. The simplest way is thrusters, there you have a system that would be converting the solar output at 100% efficiency to eliminate the pressure, or providing a thruster for counter balance. It would make sense to start as a ring around the star and keep growing it equally towards the poles. Which if the light has steadily been decreasing, that makes perfect sense as the growth of the surface are of the sphere grows so should the dimming of the star happen.
I'd love to know how they deal with CME's.
Another alternative is a floating artificial planet that can move between systems that just drains the star of it's hydrogen and they convert that into what they need and/or they use that process as part of building the dyson sphere so when it's complete they have a dwarf type star left inside that's tame enough for them to deal with.
Are they trying to save money on takeoff wtf.
Latest gen is 2k not 4k while it's clear the competition and the market are releasing 4k units. That it can not store local movies as well is annoying. How many of us have kids who watch the same thing over and over and we watch our caps die a quick death?
Seems like they feature froze it in 2012.
That first year your kid is likely to catch all kinds of colds especially as you introduce them to daycare or their older siblings bring back crap from school. I think all of us parents would of loved the ability to be able to either work from home with the sick child or be able to take those days off without loss of income.
Unfortunately the less fortunate in other countries have more respect for something than our country. Thanks asshole.
Shotgun shot is harmless when falling out of the sky after distance takes the speed down. I've been rained on by shot duck hunting from guns across a lake.
Were talking 12+ guage and not buckshot people. The small stuff just gets slowed down too much to do any real damage after a few hundred yards. Might get in your eye though that would suck.
