Comment Re:Trump's Biggest Scam (Score 0) 193

They are manufacturing scarcity within the richest country in the world. If you're scared of losing your job that doesn't really feed your family, because everything that you could afford just got way more expensive, and the bills are piling up, you're too far gone to even remotely think about fighting back. Therefore you hope that the people you voted for will do so for you, and we're seeing in real time how that's playing out.

The MAGApublicans are a cult. Full Stop.

It won't matter what he does, they'll blame it on the Democrats (or anyone else), the MAGApublicans will continue to gulp down the "Orange Dick" flavored Kool-Aid, and nothing will change.

I mean we are (and have been) staring right at Trump all over the Epstein files! Trump just admitted that J.E. "took" an under-aged girl he was employing (who later took her own life), and the legacy media (and the public at large) doesn't even blink.

If Child Sexual Assault & Trafficking isn't the point where you walk away, you have no point where you'll walk away.

So higher prices at Walmart is an easy, "Biden did it, and that's why we're renovating Alcatraz so we can throw all those nasty, evil, democrats that ruined our beautiful country in there, and finally have a chance to 'Make America Great Again' in 2028 during my 3rd term," and the MAGApublicans will go mad with The Rapture of Trump.

And blame those evil democrats because they're even poorer then before...

As for the "letter of the law" that seems correct. However that's not what's happening.

This regime is going after people based on the color of their skin. If you want to argue that point then please submit 2–3 articles from reputable news sources that show illegal white people undergoing the same treatment we've seen brown people being subjected to...

We finally got Sonic to our neighborhood, and you simply cannot beat unlimited 10GB fiber for $50/month. Sure most sites you connect to aren't that fast, yet, but it's top quality service at an unbeatable price. Not surprisingly Steam is by far the fastest site I've connected to for downloading.

I gotta say after decades of getting fucked over by Comcast/Xifnity it was pure joy to walk into their office with my kit and ask to cancel my service. Their rep. never even tried to talk me out of it, nor ask about if/who I switched to! Just processed my request and let me walk out.

Sonic has to be giving them a run for their money in the markets Sonic serves, because just in our apt. building of 24 units over half of us have switched from C/X to Sonic!

With the ruling from SCOTUS today that Federal judges can't enforce Federal law nationally, the corrupt SCOTUS proceeds to implement the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" at pace. If you take into account everything that's been happening, we're already past the point of no return.

Trump will continue to violate the laws, our constitution, and our rights until he is indeed King of America.

We're 26,000 light years away, and dispersal is our friend. But on the bright side we'll never see it coming! Oh wait...on the bright side we'll barely see it coming.

That much energy should have an effect on objects between us and Sagittarius A*, some of which may output light. Therefore we may see the affect of that much energy on those objects before it hits us, but depending on distance it's not going to be a lot of warning of our impending extinction.

The Kerr metric is 0 to 1. With 0=non-rotating to 1=c (c=299,792,458 m/s). The theoretical maximum is 0.998 c.

After punching GoogAI in the LLM for a bit there's no minimum nor maximum "mass" needed to achieve that rotational speed. There are several factors that contribute to that number, of which mass (as far as I can tell) is not a primary player.

Comment Re:Black hole maximum rotation speed (Score 2) 41

Correct! A rotating black hole, literally referred to as a "Kerr Black Hole," has a ring-shaped singularity in the core, and two event horizons. Remember that once you cross the outer event horizon Space/Time becomes Time/Space (they reverse) and things start getting very weird...

Here's more on the subject in lay terms: How Does the Event Horizon Affect Black Hole Spin and Space-Time?
