Quarks are funny things. The hold +- 1/3 or +- 2/3 of the elemental charge, but whenever you separate them and should get a new smallest possible charge (aka elemental charge) two new quarks appear and cling to the separated ones (a +- 1/3 e quark to the +- 2/3 e quark and vice versa).

One of my favorite experiments of all time; so cool to watch the drops rise only in multiples of acceleration, with no allowable accelerations in between.

Solution to 99% of these scams: don't be stupid.

It doesn't look like it is intended to be a weapon, more of a noisemaker. But the answer is probably "alcohol".

Color me 1990s if you will, I liked the music.

Now just make the vertical take off motor the same one that propels it forward and viola, one step closer to my nightmares.

Yup. And if it ever gets horribly ratty (camping trip or something), you get it completely soaking wet, work in your best moisturizing conditioner, and detangle by hand, a little at a time, starting from the ends. Rinse and repeat until it's to a point where you can introduce a comb. This is not rocket science,…

For what must be the hundredth time in my life, I say "Fuck that dumb bitch's proclamations".

Having served in an Army infantry company during 2 separate year-long combat deployments, I am a little puzzled by the push for women to get into these combat roles. Combat sucks. You don't want to be there. I don't know anyone who wanted to be there.

Awful dusty in here. And the onions, someone is cutting onions.
