This is *literally a lie*.

Here’s what Perry said the very day he was nominated:

“It is a tremendous honor to be selected to serve as Secretary of Energy by President-elect Trump. I am deeply humbled by his trust in me,” Perry said. “As the former governor of the nation’s largest energy producing state, I know…

Planes that a whole lot bigger than trucks have managed to solve the “lines are too long” problem.

“In Other Words is in the heart of a historically Black neighborhood in Northeast Portland. We have Black Lives Matter written on our window.”

They opened a bookstore for white people in the heart of a historically black neighborhood, and then they complain about gentrification.

Yep. Irony is dead.

I own a house. And I took specific efforts to buy a house *not* encumbered by an HOA.

Now that Gawker’s dead can we keep the political bullshit out of the car blog?

It’s his friggin’ property. Public health’s an issue if he’s storing dead Ebola victims there. But these are cars. If you don’t want him storing inert objects on his property, take up a collection and see if you can buy it from him. Then you can do what you want with it.

No. All folk etymologies are crap. The word dates from the early 1400s.

Who gives a shit? It’s gone.

“In the case of LIGO, which first went online in the early 2000s, two mirrors are hung very far apart (in Richland, Washington and Baton Rouge, Louisiana), forming a primary arm, while another two mirrors are set up perpendicular to that.”

This is *not* true, as I pointed out the last time you posted this article.

There…

You’re not missing anything, the reporter who wrote the article is. There isn’t one LIGO observatory that spans the continent, there are two observatories: one in Washington, and one in Louisiana. Each one is about 4 kilometers on a side, which is much much smaller than a single 3000-kilometer-long observatory.

“then have they also found gravity particles?”

No.

Particles are just quantized states of the associated field. In other words, photons are not little ping pong balls, it’s just a *label* indicating that the energy levels of the electromagnetic field are quantized. Electrons are the excited states of the electric…

“In the case of LIGO, which first went online in the early 2000s, two mirrors are hung very far apart (in Richland, Washington and Baton Rouge, Louisiana), forming a primary arm,”

This is really, really wrong.

The primary arms of LIGOs instruments are 4 kilometers long.

There are two LIGO observatories: one in…

Thought it meant It’s Really Only a Camaro.

If the government’s in the business of granting trademark protection, but then decides that some terms are unworthy of trademark protection because they’re “offensive,” then they’re excluding Constitutionally-protected speech from trademark protection. That would be a violation of the First Amendment.

Gah.

There’s nothing surprising about the N1 being fueled by kerosene. So was the Saturn V first stage. So was Saturn 1, Saturn IB, Delta, Atlas, Falcon 9, Soyuz, Zenit, and a bunch of others. Kerosene is much denser than hydrogen, so while the specific impulse isn’t as high, trying to do a first stage using liquid…

That’s hilarious.

There didn’t use to be a Zwanze day, they just bottled and sold it at the brewery with no fanfare, walk up and buy a bottle. When I was there it was a 9-euro bottle for a beer that was good enough that it later became a regular product (Mamouche).

But then people started buying a lot of bottles and…

“As a result, the force of impact is being transferred to the person, not the car.”

That’s absolutely and entirely not true. If the force of impact were transferred to the person, not the car, than the car would be undamaged and the person would be a pasty smear across the upholstery. Don’t ask lawyers about physics.
