Yes, it doesn't require infinite energy but it still does require "exotic" matter. Which means, whatever the power source is, it still needs to produce more than even what would be produced with fusion energy (Or, at least, that's how it was explained to me). Essentially, it needs whatever the...

Christ, these guys are always trying to make aqua-man cool. They are even getting him an actor so he can play the Justice League "King of Atlantia" hook-handed Aqua bad ass (Which almost succeeded in making him cool.Almost). But it still doesn't work, even if they give him super strength, super...

He said rifles, specifically. Around 90% of all gun homicides are from hand guns. Rifles make up an exceedingly small portion of homicides. And that's because most gun violence is gang related, and concealment is needed.

I seriously hope the Multiplayer is good. A massive, procedural galaxy to find resources that other players need? Yes please.

Rape culture is the most offensive thing to come from Feminism since Dworkin. Really, it's something that if it were targeted at ANY other group aside from "men" in general, it would be considered extraordinarily bigoted and ignorant. But the worst part is, it's so obvious that our social system...

I can't comment about risk aversion for women, I didn't read the full study on it, I'll take your word for it. Was it from the London School of Economics? I think I remember the C from CEP (Center for Economic Performance.) I've only skimmed a review of the study, I wanted to go back and read it...

They don't, they list the 6.6% as unexplained. There were no other correlations they could find. In other studies, I've seen it explained really as just potential capital loss (You're most likely going to lose a woman due to children at some point, even if she's dedicated, so some jobs might...

Yeah, I know the one you're talking about, it was lambasted for being a conservative piece of propaganda. I want to say it began with a C, I'll have to think about it. I went from that one, to the AAUW because it has less variables--the one year post graduation eliminates a bunch of the...

It's the AAUW paper,graduating the pay gap. It corrects for major choice, hours worked, time in field and a host of other factors and comes down to the 8% figure. It's a pretty stellar report. I think the last 8% can be chalked up to the risk of extra cost inherent with women. Due to...

Theyaren't that smart, but they pay people a significant amount of money to work out these strategies; and these stratagies are intelligent but only if viewed from a specific perspective (I'll explain below). But no, none of these plans will remain intact during real world application--but I...

1.) I brought up Iraq not to explain why we are there--but to illustrate how we're cutting up the resources among different partners, and not sucking them down. Mainly to illustrate an example of how we protect oil, and even procure it, without the need of it personally. We don't need Iraq's...

Check out all the Iraq oil contracts; there is a grand total ofoneAmerican company on the exploitation list. China, Russia and Europe are all digging in (Of course, the drilling contracts are all American, but not the oil contracts.) Every wonder why that is? It's obvious we have loads of...

Wait until ACTUAL peak oil; you'll see another draft. The moment the fields need to be controlled militarily, instead of by proxy through destabilization efforts--we'll need more troops. Unless drones can do the job within 30 years (Which might be possible), it's entirely reasonable to see...

She runs through a list of MRA gripes, like higher male worker deaths, disproportionately dangerous positions, unfair court bias, And we could go on--like the massive differences in federal grant money for male vs female diseases ect); and says "those are part of patriarchy andFeminism doesn't...

Yep, uncomfortable with the initial stick, but in a minute or two you'll forget it's there. Also, 240$ is nice; if I donated every time at home it was only 160, but the place around my campus was 200. I usually only ended up doing it once a weak though (100$ which was a little more than half my...

Yes; the extract they give in pill for for nausea and appetite doesn't get you high, or so my brother told me when he was going through treatments. Your mileage may vary though; he was a major pot head before joining the marines, so he might not have had a good frame of reference. In the end, he...

You can make like between 150 and 200 (Depending) a month from it, for just about 8 hours (Total) of time. In college, whenever I had to read a lot for class, I'd go down and donate. An hour or little longer could usually get me through all my reading homework and got 20$ for it--which buys lots...

It's the spoiler thread man, no need for spoilers. But yes, it felt like this episode fell flat for specifically that reason. I was totally expecting at the very end, after the scythe scene; to watch as another group of climbers gets to the wall and the realization that despite their minor...

Well, yeah, a "kinetic" battery--the important distinction though is digging a reservoir or molten salt doesn't require rare earths and other chemicals needed for standard battery storage (Salt's pretty easy to come by; and the reservoir is just essentially a pump/hydro system) . It's all very...

The thing is; we have the capability to store solar to handle "base load" generation--which means it must produce power 24/7 (And no, it doesn't require batteries). The problem is, it's extremely expensive comparatively. If money was no concern, you could easily set up solar fields, combined...

Another Retroller.Ban the filth and throw him throw the moon door.That's certianly a more fortunate outcome than I would give him. Polite? POLITE?! Convo might as well be considered the catalyst for the demise of the Kickstarter project. Now he comes here expecting Brad to answer things? You...

Ahh, fair enough; yes, that's different, her reaction is understandable in that light. For some reason I don't remember that at all.

Did he contact them from Quarth? I thought the last contact was right before the assassination attempt, to let them know about the baby. Essentially, he was playing both sides up until it was clear Dany was going to rule, not her brother. Maybe I'm forgetting something though; but sorry, it...

I'd be more inclined to sympathize with her viewing Jorah betraying her brother being a "fault" if Dany herself had not allowed her husband to melt her brother's face off. Kind of illustrated her own lack of loyalty, no? So the reaction she had that Jorah wasn't loyal to that psycho...

My wife said the same thing..Right after the scene she turned to me and was like "So; he saves her, doesn't go back to his homeland, then defends her against a horde of barbarians when she uses dark magic--then guides her through the desert when everyone else ran....And she gets rid of him...

Here is my attack (On your theory) and segue into why the secondary theory seems a lot more defensible to me. However, I'd definitely lean more on "different types of democracy" theory more than the "cabal of white males controlling things"--for one reason; because money owns the politicians...

Nearly all those democracies have quota systems at the party level which dictate x% of women either running OR seated in the house (Depending on the Rep system); thesoleexception being Denmark (Which is an amazing anomaly and should be your case point, if this is the argument you're making)...

Wat? (Source Profile of Teachers; but it's ripped from the U.S. abstract/BLS--I just didn't want to dig through there to get the numbers. However, as you said, aside from a jolt from 30's to the 50's, it's been declining for a long time now.) Granted, there's "more of" a parity (I think...

In the vast majority of cases, a drunk person CAN give consent for a contract. I'm not sure why you believe contracts get broken if one person was drunk; it can be a mitigating factor, but it's not an absolute. It's certainly not a low enough threshold where you can say "drunk people can't give...

Only thing that sucks about the Reading Rainbow thing is that the App won't be free. Don't get me wrong, given how rich they are planning to make the App in terms of content? I can understand why they can't make it free, even with this funding (If they actually do everything they say.)....But...

I'm not sure about the cars in the video; but the retrofitted models, the ones in the testing, were driven on normal roadways without any control (but they were monitored by Google remotely; but the computer did all the driving). Their first iteration asked the drivers to take back over when it...

lol, when the girl at 31:00 comes running up to the stage telling them how big they are; you can tell that is what they were thinking.

That Louis CK bit is absurd, I know it was linked as a half joke, but man I get so tired of it. If Louis CK went back 500 years or more; he'd die, or be what would be considered a slave today. He wouldn't be considered "white"--he'd be considered Irish, which meant he'd be lucky to be spit on...

True, but the way the laws will be written now; puts manufacturers on the hook. So I still feel like Google is pretty confident in their product, because they are pumping money into it knowing they are going to be able to sell it despite manufacturer taking on that liability. (Of course, laws...

The difference is, the Cigarette companies didn't send their lobbyist out to say "If you get cancer; we're at fault, and we will be paying". But that's precisely what Google is doing--as they are working with law makers, they are showing that their cars have so much recorded information, they...
