Mustard gas and chloramines are NOT the same thing!

It’s counterintuitive, but SMBHs are not dense at all. In fact, they’re very tenuous. For example, the M87 SMBH is 6.5 billion solar masses but is almost 100,000 times less dense than air at sea level. That’s something very weird about black holes. Their density decrease with volume.

It’s also splooting season for my cat.

Yeah well on Sunday, Montréal had the worst air quality in the world. Your turn now!

That is ridiculus. I’ve been declaring myself as cisgender in my own twitter bio for years now!

They still had plenty of weight to jettison.

The British R100 came to Montreal! 44 years before I was born. I wish I could see an airship during my lifetime. A real airship, not a blimp of course!

People fall out of favour.

I need a t-shirt with this picture

Is no one thinking of ionized air propulsion? If you find a efficient enough way of ionizing air, then you can just push it away like in a ion propulsion engine with an electric field. You can also use super-conducting electro-magnets (like the Vasimir engine currently in development). Super-conduction would mean…

Old Man's War!

(accidental double post) "Patrick" or "Jeff"? Is he planning a crossover episode with Coupling?

Another scientific explanation could be that the Ice and Fire planet is orbiting a multiple star system.

Please correct your English. Effect vs affect. It makes it hard to read, really.

It's not meant to be the Iron Couch. It's just "The Couch" as "The Wall". The Wall in the North.

How about tidal energy? The Moon tugs on the Earth, deforms it and creates friction heat. How much is that?

You keep talking about the R101. But what about the R100? The sister ship made in competition by a commercial company, (opposed to a government team for the R101). The R100 successfully flew to Canada and back and broke speed records doing it. It was faster, more manoeuvrable and lighter than the R101. And what did…
