@currywurst6267 Dude, you just named a bunch of non-German inventions as being German...

Because it's not numerical, it's on and off, there can only be two variables for on and off. Or think of it as go and stop, if a circuit is a massive maze leading to junctions that do different things then each of those junctions will have gates that are either 'go' or 'stop'. Trillions of those build a complex processor that puts this shit on the screen :D

He's Irish, they barely pronounce Ts as it is.

@mgronich948 They can only narrow you down to a cell tower's radius though, not the exact metre of dirt you are standing on.

@moos5221 Why on Earth would anyone put plutonium in a nuclear reactor?

@iCore7Gaming This whole idea of "If I don't agree with it then it must be a hoax/fake/bot/commie" is not very original and if anything it's just ignorant and immature.

Why would a migrant have a lower level of education? You get taught the same shit in schools allover the world with the exception of a handful of nations that are in impoverished regions like western Africa or northern India. The fact you think a teenager from Syria won't know his multiplication tables is practically racist in itself. I'm sorry to break it to you but they also don't live in mud huts held together by a cement containing their own shit. 0_O The only thing holding decent migrants back are the language barrier and the fact that if one in 10,000 of them commits a crime they all suffer the backlash because the rampant right use it to incite hatred - which if anything shows that westerners are more mob-orientated and barbaric than any migrant could ever be.

The T-800 was made from a polyalloy, which is something of an oxymoron since an alloy is a combination of materials so a polyalloy is a combination of a combination of materials.

In 1914 to 1918 hundreds of thousands of women lost their husbands to German weapons, from 1939 they were now going to lose many of their sons to German weapons. Forgive me for believing that zero fucks were given about German civilians back then, in fact if you had held a poll asking "Should the German people be exterminated?" it would probably have been a landslide. Germany is our friend today, a good friend, but they wrecked two generations, my grandfather despised anything German right up until his death in 2002 because that country cost him a father and a brother and imprisoned him for 3 years. It's cute that people think WW2 was this big fuzzy party where the evil allies killed civilians for no reason, it wasn't, it was a horrendous war where any living Brit of the time would have happily killed any German, civilian or child or otherwise as payback for two devastating needless wars. They were not very popular with Brits in the 1940's.

Your second line contradicts the first...

KINGVILLAOFDAE, Your arrogance and ignorance is astounding. Osama Bin Laden wasn't a goat herder from Afghanistan, he was born into one of the richest families in Saudi Arabia and his father founded the Saudi Binladin Group, one of the largest construction firms on Earth. I'm fairly sure someone with his money, education and contacts could organise the hijacking of 4 aircraft. Honestly, the way some numpties speak, they must honestly think the middle east is like Tattooine and people burrow in the sand for shelter.

A "green" party shunning nuclear but favouring coal (by opening new pits and coal plants) shows you just how badly greens tend to fuck up when you give them control of something.

@Oscar4u69 Think the guy is having some sort of medical episode.

@notabestfriend432 You would risk your life to save a stranger? Commendable, but I would go for the safer vehicle even if it does drop it's boosters on civvies, it's called self preservation.

China leads the world in 35 out of the 47 most critical technologies. Some day you'll have to explain how 35 times they stole something the US does not yet have.

@kingmelanin7468 I'm assuming you got lost?

Why do you keep spelling their name wrong? Is it on purpose? Wright brothers with a W...

@jasongrundy1717 Except there was, it takes almost a decade to build a nuclear power plant and that was when the first engineers were all being trained up. If Germany chose to restart it's mothballed reactors tomorrow can they give someone ten years worth of training in a single day?

I think all DC-10's have been retired by now so that old boy will be sunning himself in the desert with all of the other retired planes.

Or just take note of that screeching whine that shudders through the house every 6 or 7 minutes during your lookaround it?

@BlackHawkBallistic Unless you can 100% show that there have been people affected by these rocket stages landing on them then it's just supposition, have you read any articles about them that were not written by heavily biased western agencies trying to paint China as more evil than evil? If not then any victims are, indeed, supposed.

Why would a system of measurement affect what tools you use?

9/11 didn't affect Concorde as badly as other aircraft though as Concorde flyers were predominantly business people and they don't have the luxury of refusing to fly when told to. Ironic that the only luxury aircraft would be the one whose passengers are forced to fly it.

Hypersonic is where it's at, the Lapcat A2 could take you from New York City to Melbourne in five hours if Reaction Engines would only hurry up and finish building the prototype.

The Russians built a plane larger than the Antonov 225? I'd love to see it...

The SABRE will make anything supersonic obsolete once they put one on an aircraft.

MyTech, no but it is an actual number defined by the flight regulatory body of the nation in question of which the FAA holds no sway and so our eggheads set different rules.

Reverse thrust does... :D

Most MRIs nowadays have gas containment shells that envelop the entire machine and route into the exhaust conduit so that if there is a helium escape it will go up the exhaust anyway. Machines with shells look far more bulky than machines without and often look as though they are built into the room.
