Vibrations depend on many other things to a much greater extent than displacement or power. For example a single cylinder dirt bike with a small engine could produce more vibrations than a big inline four cylinder superbike. Sounds like they don't understand the issue that well.

On a more serious note, I suspect these Mensa members didn’t realize nor calculate that there would be a revenue loss to their Ebenezer Scrooge idea. The district will not get funding for food they stopped serving.

I was about to say, there’s absolutely no fucking reason that any child should have to pay for food when they go to school.

You simply cannot publish a spaceX article without first checking Elon’s twitter. You are completely out of date. It will not likely take 16 launches and may even be done in as few as 4 tankers. 

A friend of mine is an antique collector, and he would see Mike at antique shows back before he was on TV.  He described him as a “know-it-all dick.”

As the show is dubiously presented, basically she does.

Let’s say you have 100 people in the same occupation, and one of them decides to make a reality show out of it.

Wolfe’s marriage went to shit cuz he got found out fucking some bar owner in Cave City, KY. 

Same thing happened to BAM from the new Jackass movie

Oh yeah, this was pure boomer porn.  Like Antique Roadshow, it made them think all the crap they had in their basements and attics were secret treasures and not just water damaged homes for rodents

I have minimal interest in the picks that don’t involve Danielle

I was always under the impression they were a gay couple. Think I read that somewhere online 10ish years ago and just took it for fact.

Ever notice that the cable “education” channels that were touted as a market-driven replacement for PBS like History, Discovery, TLC. etc. have all turned in to homes for crappy reality shows, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience? I guess that pays better than boring old facts and science. 

Optimistic that they’re probably going to get more money to ‘fix’ this problem that shouldn’t have occurred in the first place?

They are optimistic that the free money will keep flowing.

If the engineers are feeling cautiously optimistic, it probably mostly means they haven’t run out of things they can try on the pad yet. If they run out of option son the pad, the mood will get a lot glummer, since it’ll almost certainly mean hoisting Starliner off the rocket to roll back to the assembly building (in…

Remember when most people thought that Starliner would get people to space before Dragon would? I don’t even think the doubters thought it’d be a year and a half later and Starliner hasn’t even gotten off the pad again yet.

“Cautiously optimistic is a good way to describe how the team is feeling,” John Vollmer, Starliner vice president and program manager, said in a statement put out late last week. “They’re coming forward with innovative ideas and prioritizing the safety of the spacecraft and their teammates.”

Burning methane produces water and carbon dioxide (CH4 + 2 O2 => CO2 + 2 H2O). Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (by like 100x iirc), so it is better to burn it than to simply emit it, which is why natural gas extractors try to burn off anything they can’t capture, and get in trouble when…

Current nomenclature is Booster and Ship. The whole assembly is assumed to be Starship. However Starship is unlikely to ever be numbered.
