Also, to follow up, I was working on a project that investigated the feasibility of performing a lunar swing-by from a HEO (an already large one with an apogee radius at 28 earth radii [Re] anyway). We had spinner spacecraft with pretty small thrusters (4 lbf) that could only fire in a burn angle dependent on the…

Curious why they don’t just make the batteries swappable.

“However, unlike conventional generators, this one runs on Glycerol, rather than diesel.”

Why do we reward people for talking smack about their famous exes, in the hopes of causing career harm.

Another Seattleite here, if you love it so much feel free stop by my neighborhood and pick up bikes ... I’ve lost count how many bikes I’ve picked up and moved so they don’t block sidewalks etc... And as many people riding them I think geography factors in ( no so much in QA ) and yet they keep setting up bikes here…

Unless people are parking the Car2Go cars on the sidewalks, middle of roads or in lakes it’s not really a comparison. For the most part those cars are left legally parked on the streets. An equivalent would be the docked ride share bikes that need to be returned to specific places. When I lived in Seattle, those bikes…

That definition doesn’t apply. Real jet engines don’t work by forcing gas out of a small opening, they work by forcing gas into a small space then combusting it.

That sounds like copypasta with more steps

That’s the joke mate. There is a whole Rick and Morty forum full of self righteous pricks who go on and on about how you have to have a certain level of IQ to “truly” get the humour. They expound upon the subtleties and subtext that they believe Harmon and the writers are writing into each episode.

Nice remix of some famous copypasta

You have to have a really high IQ to get what “For Sweden” is alluding to here. If you are not a part of the more exclusive forums on Reddit, you just don’t have the mental capacity to get what he’s getting at.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand contract lounges for budget carriers. The service is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical economics most of the soft product will go over a typical guest’s head. There’s also the lounge’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the…

I figured that the cops just realised they can shoot at the villains.

I have never had an issue with modern tents ripping, poles or guideline.

If you haven’t filed one before, this is called a “Utility Patent”, not an “Invention Patent”.

Thank you.

So the first time you change a diaper, because every subsequent time your are wrist deep in shit privacy is probably not the priority.

Yeah, if you’re going to an article about what’s in a “patent” (likely just an application), give the serial number, so interested readers can go look it up.

Jason, I mention this every time you or another writer at Jalopnik writes about patents. You mostly do not understand them. As I’ve said before, a published application is not a patent, it’s just an application. You can file an application and have it publish for pretty much anything. It has nothing to do with whether…
