You'd have to get very close to the speed of light, before you'd see any really significant relativistic effects. That just isn't practically doable with any technology within humanity's reach, probably for centuries. If

Covid is caused by a "corona virus". The Flu is caused by the "influenza virus". So even though they are both contagious respiratory illnesses, they are caused by completely different viruses. The reason we've seen

I don't think you understood the questions. "Proof of work" answers none of them. New cryptocurrencies appear all the time. This dillutes the cryptocurrency space. There's only so much capital to invest in any of them. A

The value of a currency comes from it being backed by a government, and that government accepting taxes in that currency. This puts a hard limit on the number of currencies, and how much they'll dillute the dollar (or any other country

Seems like you completely missed the point of 0day's comments. I can't think of any other explanation to why you'd use the word "Though" here.

Not relevant. What Christians believe, doesn't necessarily have anything to with what the Bible says. Even when it does, then it's often cherry picked.

Hah. Yes. The redaction/retraction confusion here is rather funny. "Redacted" scientific research on covid, would make a conspiracy theorist out of me too :)

I pretty sure that you've misunderstood the comment. The problem wasn't about _being able to land_, when in the middle of nowhere. If you're "in the middle of nowhere", how are going to get a helicopter to you? What

Again, I think you are being completely absurd. If you sell me a phone, and then deny me the right to use it as phone, then you are breaking the law. At least where I live. I would be able to demand a refund, and the Company could be penali

Wow... Do you think women shouldn't have rights too, if a country's government doesn't think they are worthy? That we shouldn't care about the treatment of migrant workers in the Middle East? Apartheid was fine? Slavery?

I think that the downvotes are because it's pretty disingenuous to remove criminals and poor people from US statistics, before comparing with other nations. Like, I imagine that my country would the greenest & cleanest in the world

But why remove that demographic from the US statistic, before comparing with other nations? Isn't that a bit disingenuous? I'd imagine you'd see similar improvement in other countries stats, if you remove the poorest and the

I have no idea where that substrate, or whatever, came from, or 'who' created it. I wasn't trying to answer that. I'm aware that my comment merely added an additional layer, between us and "the creator"/cr
