IANAL: What I've heard is that according to the government unmixed tannerite is 'not an explosive' but once you mix it, it becomes an explosive. And you need permits and licensing to transport or store an explosive, but not

It does seem quite... incredible.. that such a person in such a circumstance would consent to a search. Can the government prove they had consent, or is this just their claim?

Are those online platforms now mandatory for consoles? They weren't a few years ago when last I had one.

Does the report say that? The article doesn't mention it and the report is 449 pages long, so I haven't read it.

You're right, it isn't necessarily transitive. So called 'ring species' are cases where it isn't.

What would the 'first' of a species be, in an objective sense? As I understand it, speciation is a gradual process. Trying to pin down exactly where the change occurs is like trying to pin down precisely where a rainbow gradien

The way the word 'liberal' is commonly [mis]used in America makes me think many people don't even know what it means. I've even had people look at me weird when using it in a non-political context ( "I'd like

Another factor to consider is that when trading an hour in line for TSA for an hour on the train, you can relax, take a nap or read a book, while in line for the TSA you have to stay awake and alert. The same applies for time spent in the

A modest low pressure in the tube would become high pressure in the tube when you start pushing a piston (Hyperloop car/capsule) down the tube. Where would all the air piling up in front go? This is why the original concept drawings

by bigbubba 6y ago
Hyperloop tubes are pipe dreams, nobody has actually ever build one, so all the pros you cite are purely speculative.

The trains are also more comfortable than [coach] plane seats by a long mile, and you don't have to deal with TSA either. Showing up at the station the minute the train rolls out is/was very feasible, unlike with flying. When I

This is certainly what optimistic WV politicians what to believe, but unfortunately for them there is the problem of Hyperloop being a bunk gadgetbahn that won't pan out and was probably never meant to. (The true purpose of hyperlink,

Replace 'A' with 'The' and it works. Tbh I assumed people were already familiar with the Barber Paradox and didn't word it defensively, but if you take 'a barber' as referring to a specific barber then

I see what you mean. I think it's probably a case of 'convergent evolution', where two planes designed for the same sort of thing (size and speed in this case) come out looking sort of similar to each other. The American B-

The tech industry has a bias for youth, which is mutually exclusive with experience. I don't know much about the medical industry, but I wager surgeons face less ageism once the gray hairs start coming in. With that age comes experie

There is only one barber and he's not bald or otherwise excluded from the 'everybody' in "he shaves everybody who doesn't shave themselves." It's not a lateral thinking problem, or a matter of thinking

The paradox exists and consequently, the barber cannot.

If the barber doesn't shave himself, then he must shave himself because he shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves. But he only shaves those that don't shave themselves, so he cannot shave himself.... https:/&#x2F

This logo is meant to be such labelling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation#/media/File... I'm not sure how widespread use of it is though.

Alberta still has native 'pack rats' which could perhaps be mistaken for 'true rats' (the sort Alberta is ostensibly free of.) They are still actively fighting them, it's a constant battle I suppose, but at least i
