Have they looked at masers? Basically rf lasers.i think they're much cheaper than lasers and could be steered at drones but would only need enough power to interfere with guidance/ controls

What about a shotgun shell but each pellet is crimped around the midpoint of a bundle of carbon fibers

It's because of the rail labour dispute. The NDP can't/won't be party to cutting down unions.

Don't write that down. Do you hear me?

We hear you loud and clear.

It was about one day before that for me. I was like

oh that's so cool, he's got amazing engineers working to repurpose a pressure vessel from SpaceX to act as a rescue pod to save those kids.

Then actual cave divers were like:

any cave diver will tell you that this will never work

What kind of cave diving rescue plan doesn't talk to any cave divers before drawing any attention to itself? The kind designed solely to draw attention and stroke ego. He tried to make those boys' struggles about himself because he thinks he's the most capable man alive.

Yeah true, but I think they actually use wavelength of red shift, which is distance.... traveled by light in the time it takes to make a full cycle. So I guess we're back to seconds again.

I think they use this for distance and time because at scales being dealt with they have the same implications.

I think you need to be more specific than 'long distance', yes they use parsecs for 'long distances' but I believe only for intra-galactic objects. I think other galaxies are too distant for parallax seconds to be useful.

Don't they measure distance and time by redshift (ie colour)

Mate it's a meme from 17 years ago, not 2017. It's from 2007.

It's the

... like such as the Iraq...

Clip right?

Anybody else feel like it's pretty sexist to liken the anticipated performance of the vice president of the USA to a teen beauty pageant contestant?

Anyone interested in this should check out superfastmatt (YouTube) he has a video series where he converts a Dodge Viper for offroading.

Not bolting a viper body onto a dune buggy frame.

Makes total sense to me. He loved his husband and wanted him to be happy, but wasn't sexually attracted to him. But not a homophobe, so willing to try to make husband happy.
