I always called it a 100 deciliters.  Huh.  Learn something new everyday…

@therationalist You and the cannon would have the same momentum, but the velocity would be different unless you and the cannon had the same mass.  Momentum = mass x velocity.  If there were a big difference in mass, it would be similar to a bullet fired from a gun.  Both the rifle and the bullet have the same…

Technically, yes, objects in space are weightless.  But they are not massless.  Just imagine being shot out of a cannon into a brick wall on earth, then imagine the same thing in space.  The result will be the same.

Absolutely.  I can only listen to an episode if it is something that I'm REALLY interested in hearing about so I can ignore all the annoying stuff they put in the mix.  All the weird shit they mix in can kill an episode for me.  Having a 2 year old, I've been watching a lot of little kid shows and this show makes me…

Meant to be a kick to the shin, but he sticks his toe into the ground, trips, complains that he tweaked something in his back and looks for something to lay down on.

That photo doesn't really convey boredom to me.  Mostly, it says to me, 'Where did I leave my teeth?' .

Might be easier to list the ones we want to save…

The collective will of everyone in the room.
