I do this with all my physics classes each year when we do our unit on torque.

“Dude, maybe read before commenting.”

The average number between 1 and a 1,000,000 has 6 digits, I timed myself writing and it takes more than 3s to write a 6 digit number. At that rate you are looking at about 850hrs of writing. If you wrote for 10hrs a day continuously you’d take 85 days to finish.

Texas is 10% bigger than France (but only half the population).

Steel is stronger per unit volume though, so with a steel component you can make a smaller/thinner part (just usually not enough smaller to offset the density difference).

The bulk of stock trades are from algorithms, a 0.1% tax would most likely reduce the number of these ‘high frequency trades’ which would reduce the revenue the tax collects.

Acceleration is limited to keep the passengers safe and comfortable. Typical accelerations are limited to around 2-3mph/s, zero to top speed in 1-2min.

You can power a cruise ship with live fish too, it just takes a big net and some wrangling to make sure they’re all swimming in the same direction.

The PBS news hour is on youtube and it even streams live: https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour/featured most smart tv’s can access youtube and if not, there are plenty of ways to cast from a device to your tv.

Low Earth orbit is within 200mi of the surface of the Earth. The speed of light is 640,000,000mph; it takes light 0.00112 seconds to travel 200mi or just over 1 millisecond. It only takes light 0.146s to travel the circumference of the Earth (which is also about the distance to geostationary orbit).

Indeed, I can pay local, state, and federal taxes online in under an hour.

It is unconscionable that voter registration, renewal, and address changes cannot be done online in all 50 states.

All my friends are from autocross or the track, they only drive fast on course and have excellent car control. I don’t put up with childish antics in the car and as a track instructor and the chair of my SCCA region’s Street Survival program I’m more than qualified to critique from the right seat.

They should be able to get better performance at higher altitudes as long as they keep the batteries and motors cool (dry ice between runs maybe). The reduced drag might help knock of a tenth or two.

They don’t have to care about the midwest because there aren’t many people there. The states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, both Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri combined have nearly the same number of people as the New York Metro area (23 million), or about 7% of the US population.

The US Civil War was as old to our grandparents as World War II is to us (1865 to 1940 was 75 years and 1940 to 2015 is the same 75 year interval). My 94 year old grandfather was born closer to the assassination of Lincoln than today.

All the official corner stations for Laguna are approved for safety by multiple sanctioning bodies, so if this happened at an official corner station it really isn’t anyone’s fault (the sanction bodies and the track will have to reevaluate the positioning of the corner stations and barriers). If the barriers or corner…

The c5 Corvette was the last real Corvette, and they've only gotten worse since, said no one ever. 

He had to write an apology letter to his friends about getting drunk and angry enough to ruin a dice game during an outing (while reminding them to keep the details of the events secret, even from their spouses).
