It is effectively trying to outlaw the use of Airplanes (no fossil fuels after 10 years). .....

Wait...

What would happen to all my frequent flyer miles?

They have a few electric planes, and electric turbines are being developed. And we can get electricity from nuclear, water, and solar.

You will be able to keep all your frequent flyer miles... except if you use them, of course.

Cool

Yes, they will, “need to invent technology that's never even been invented yet.

EDIT: Nuclear power is also not allowed with the Green New Deal.
Okay, but I would like to be placed in charge of getting rid of all the Evil Farting Cows. I will cut them up into juicy steaks, and these will form the basis for a underworld crypto currency to finance the rebellion.

Based on Proof of Steak.

We do have to keep in mind, conspiracy or not, that the President HAS in fact spent quite a lot of monies with NE in covering up his skeletons from the past.

And yes, NE is in the business of skeletons. Published or otherwise.

Got it.

It's the "hint" of a connection with Trump.

Something yet else to keep the Evil Trump Story Going.

Oh,you know. It might NOT BE TRUE but <whisper whisper whisper>

Here is another youtube video on the subject:
....

however if you look at the total joules of energy to be dissipated during re entry, and then the heat of vaporization of methane or water, the numbers do not add up.

It can be done but it's not a spectacular innovation like the vertical landing of the boosters.


Yet, as shown in one of my previous posts, water can be heated to 5,000 degrees F, and probably above, and is done so in gasoline engines at times.

When you combine this with the pressure of the atmosphere flying by on re-entry, it's difficult to envision what will actually happen. We need some computer simulations, and some actual tests to tell for sure. The steam layer around the spaceship doesn't need to be very thick.

If one uses methane rather than water, the burning of the methane with the oxygen in the atmosphere, just might maintain a set temperature by its explosive burning, which could push extra heat away from and around the spacecraft, because there isn't enough time for extra heat to penetrate the "steam" by convection.

We really need some tests, starting with computer simulations. Does Musk have any of these?

Cool
None of what you said bears any relation to reality.

There would be no burning of methane around the spacecraft because of nature of combustion.

All aspects of the question/issue are amendable to one dimensional heat transfer calculations.

No, water isn't heated to 5000 in IC engines.

This is basic rocket science and engineering.

.... it was said that some of them show him with a wedding ring on his finger. I think many would probably consider this "improper"

As a scandal it seems pretty lame if that's all there is. Plus obviously extortion is criminal.

Does it seem like this is a real deal or yet another attempt to somehow make trump look bad?

They could be SAID to have been send in a context that was improper, or in similar ways used for blackmail.

By themselves such pics are simple human anatomy.

If the shoes said "Fuck Allah" or "Allah was a pedophile", I would buy them as a collector's item.

Insulting religion is not a crime.  We should be able to make fun of STUPID ideas no matter how crazy they are.

I've read that for automobiles, considerable study is done on whether a new proposed name offends anyone in any particular language. Because the cars are sold worldwide and nobody wants a car which has a name which is, say, "SHIT" in that language.

Should Nike pay attention in such a matter? Sure.

But how far? Here the objection is to a part of the phrase taken out of context and said to mean something different than intended. I'm curious what an average muslim would think of this matter.
.......
As for the Muslims, they get very easily offended. .....
I have to buy a pair of those shoes before they take them down.

How about all the things muslims do that offend others?

Is any serious concern given to these issues?

Trump seems to think AOC and democrats should move forward with the Green New Deal

Quote from:  President Trump cia Twitter
I think it is very important for the Democrats to press forward with their Green New Deal. It would be great for the so-called “Carbon Footprint” to permanently eliminate all Planes, Cars, Cows, Oil, Gas & the Military - even if no other country would do the same. Brilliant!

Why interrupt your opponent when they are making an error?

I would like to do my part. One steak a day and 2x/day on weekends would be doing my part to reduce the cow population.

Will THE PLAN pay for these?

Inflation of the height 10000000% should affect any worth of money or asset. Money is worthless. Money has lost its worth cause u cant but what u want even with your money in venezuela

The local fiat is worthless, but there are many people surviving with (foreign) money sent by relatives from abroad. Because of the foreign currency exchange "controls", a good chunk comes via crypto coins.....

Before crypto there was Zimbawee. During the early days of crypto there was the Cyprus bank crisis.

Venezuela is to be a case study in the influence of crypto currency on a nation experiencing hyper inflation. Theoretically, the crypto should significantly lower the amount of human suffering.

Who or what created the big bang and who/what created space?  Serious question I want to know.
The Big Bang created space and space, because prior to it, space and time did not exist.

I've supported it since 2012 because it is the only plan available that gives us a chance at avoiding the impending climate catastrophe.  You say it is insane but have no reasoning for calling it insane. I know you deny climate science, but like the new deal, these stimulus proposals are economically viable regardless of weather or not there was an impending catastrophe.......
I honestly do not think you are on a winning bandwagon with this one.

i definately dont share, this oppinion africans can also be trained to solve IQ score tests to score them as good as asians or westerners

thank god i was able to free myself from racist upbringing in school.

Training, to an extent.

Iodine deficiencies during childhood are a major cause of low IQ in Africa and the Middle East; also to an extent, genetics.
3597  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Evil MAGA hat kids from Covington School VS Native American on: February 08, 2019, 09:55:29 PM


Moreover, I find it alarming that Coinsforcommies doesn't even know of the hundreds of threats against the Covington kids. That immediately shows that his news sources suppressed that, thus creating a very different reality which he fell for.

You are taking random anecdotes of violent threats made by random individuals and placing the burden of responsibility for those acts on anyone who criticizes the school.  That is ridiculous.  I didn't say I didn't know of ANY threats being made, but that I didn't know of any threats being made by "the left" in general, "the media", or anyone I know personally or see posting on this site.  That didn't mean I didn't know there were some wackos making threats.  
No ducking and dodging please.

It doesn't matter how or why you "didn't know of any threats."

You were 100%wrong.

....

So do a "favor" to a bureaucrat (party member, etc), and your family might be able to eat a month... Working under socialism does not provide enough to keep your family fed (despite what pretty slogans or laws they dictate), the system literally forces you into corruption to survive.

If you think capitalists "exploit" you, wait until you feel what being exploited by the State entails...

It's easy to provide free health care under socialism.

If you are sick, and get in the line and wait for care, you get a bandaid.

So WHAT? I've been to numerous countries where there was "socialized medicine" and it was total SHIT.

And yes the USA is capable of screwing it up, because of the stronghold that big Pharma and the medical interests have in Washington. If you don't get that, you are beyond hope.

However, there is hope, and it isn't crazed socialist wannabes.

It's Trump.

Never understood when people attack greed for being wrong. Greed isn't wrong, it's what started this country and what is going to continue to define it. I see little to no purpose in life if you're not continuously longing for some sort of end goal -- which is you, being greedy, and chasing a goal.

Punishing those that are job creators isn't going to work, and its seen in countries such as Venezuela the horrid atrocities that can come out of that mentality.

It's a standard socialist trick.

What I never understood about it is the simple fact that the greed of a person, like you or I, could never even begin to approach the greed of a country to steal from its citizens.
