These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

Some people want their Sci fic to be like Asimov all the time. From this point of view, I can see why they wouldn't appreciate Weir.

I didn't want to get into a discussion of vapor pressures, so I was just using those temperatures as stand-ins to get an idea of what temps would required. But you're right, I probably should have used the sublimation temp.

Highly unlikely, the melting point of those materials is higher than most house fires. The boiling point would be even higher. Even then, the amount of beryllium in all of those gems combined wouldnt be enough to significantly impact the air quality.

I should have been more clear, they can no longer implement temporary injunctions. These were used by judges to stop further action while the case was proceeding in their court.

Once the trial has been conducted and the judge makes a decision, they can decide that a nationwide law is not valid and therefore stop it's application everywhere.

I thought SCOTUS stopped nationwide injunctions. This sounds like a ruling.

A real simple fix would be ranked choice voting.

As an American, I think finding the dumbest of us would be hard given the amount of competition.

No because that state refers to bosons only.

Once the universe has expanded sufficiently, there will be no more reactions at all. Protons and electrons will be too far apart to interact. There maybe a few remnant pairs of neutrons and protons, but eventually even those will separate to distances where they won't interact.

Isn't this a bit like saying that NASA has Mars in its sights, not New Jersey? Sure there are more people in NJ, but arriving in NJ isn't really an accomplishment. Likewise, being able to beat a piece of hardware that was out of date when it was first announced over a year ago (switch 2) obviously isn't their goal. Additionally, Valve already has superior hardware and distribution, so they are clearly the competitor to beat.

Is this just going to be Black Flag using the Skull and Bones platform? The snake is eating it's own tail now.

My theory is that his PR people are "leaking" these stories that he can rebuild his image as a recovering addict. This will let them craft a sympathetic story and they will hope that we'll forget that he's a racist asshole.
