Hilton, 43, accused the industry, which is worth billions of dollars, of being more interested in making money than protecting and caring for the vulnerable children it is responsible for.

At which point the Republicans present smiled, nodded, and made mental notes to check their investment portfolios.

Do two wrongs make a right? Is this woman just in her attempts to drown a 3-year old child?

How long until Abbott pardons her and says she was acting in self defense and had a reasonable fear for her life?

Good guy with a gun only works in Hollywood. In real life, the cops are going to shoot the good guy with a gun because he’s at an active shooting scene and he’s holding a gun. The math, like most cops, is really pretty simple.

Stealth Republican. I can’t say this for sure but, since the district leans so far left that the Republicans didn’t even run a candidate last time, this individual probably just ran as a Democrat even though she intended to support Republican positions once elected. Campaign as if you have the same ideals as the voters, then turn coat once you’re sworn in. It’s been done before.

Again, not a physicist, so here’s a bunch of words that sum up to “maybe.”

With the object moving so fast I’m not sure we’d notice anything much. We would only be in it’s gravitational field for a very short time, but it might be long enough to change Earth’s orbit, someone with better math skills will need to field that one.

As for heating the Earth, again that’s a maybe. Gravity is stronger the closer you are to the center of mass. So the near side of the Earth will feel the pull of the object much more strongly than the further side. That will make the Earth want to stretch towards the object as the near side falls towards the object faster than the far side. It would be very slight, think egg-shaped but not to a noticeable degree, but it could be bad enough.

This is called a tidal effect and would generate some heat if we’re in the gravity well of the object for long enough. It would also cause fault lines to pop all over the globe. The object would shoot by very quickly though at 99.9999c so we might be spared the worst of the effects. Again, someone with better math skills could give a more accurate answer.

FYI tidal effects are why the moons of the gas giants aren’t frozen ice balls. The constant flexing as they orbit their planet generates tremendous amounts of heat.

First, no object could be accelerated to that speed. Relativistic effects make that impossible. However, gravity waves move at the speed of light so there is some delay in gravitational effects. I’m not a physicist, but I’m pretty sure that if your sun-sized object shot through the solar system at 99.9999% the speed of light, and passed between the Earth and the Sun, it would take about 4 minutes for the object’s gravity to be felt by either the Earth or the Sun.

Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy at the molecular/atomic level. That said, the gasses falling into a black hole would likely reach such hypothetical temperatures as they near the event horizon.

I wonder how many fools are out there that will pay for this.

Come on, it’s not like they’d forget to make sure they put all the bolts on everything or anything like that. Right? Right…?

I’m picturing a rogue AI secretly embezzling all the ad money and building a huge pile of cash to fund a robot factory in order to build itself a body.

This is a type of ichthyosaur which is derived from ancient Greek meaning fish-lizard. It’s also a part of the formal name for this new species.

The team have named the species Ichthyotitan severnensis, meaning “giant fish lizard of the Severn”.

While I think they would nail him to a cross, without noticing the irony, rather than burn him, you’re not wrong. Jesus is too woke for them.

Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the other cheek,” when preaching. Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”

“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

Yeah, pretty sure that’s the plan for most of them.

Republican Rep. Justin Heap says his bill would apply the law to farmers and ranchers using deadly force against trespassers on their land, not just in their home.

Not really, but a few years ago I was going through an old box of VHS home movies for my wife and turning them into MP4s. Amongst the tapes I found a box set of Star Wars IV, V, & VI. The original trilogy before Lucas fucked them up. Naturally I ripped a copy of those as a back up. Sadly they were pan-and-scan but they were actually in good shape!

Depends where you live, I guess. Before moving out of state, I used to occasionally go to a place in Wheaton, Illinois called Studio Movie Grill. It’s like a normal theater but each seat has a tray and you can order food like in a normal restaurant. Each row of seats is elevated over the rows in front so that the servers for rows in front of yours don’t block your view of the movie. I did find it a little distracting but I still enjoyed it.

As for beer, every chain movie house I’ve been to for years has sold beer and in many cases, mixed drinks too.

There are other reasons besides it being apocalyptic that climate scientists might consider the model less useful than others. This video rebuttal to the video you posted explains some of those reasons quite well. The rebuttal is from Dr. Adam Levy who is a climate scientist. I mention this only because Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder, the maker of your video, actually has a degree in physics, not climate science. One should be very cautious when considering opinions of people who are speaking outside their field of expertise. While she may be an expert in her own field, she is not a climate scientist.

And the body of the article too.

The bill would also would not have to pay minimum wage…

It reminds me of Larry Niven’s The Integral Trees. It takes place in a gas torus of breathable air around a neutron star.

I get that that is your preference. Personally, I would choose to spend the money where it would do some good rather than just slaking some people’s need for revenge.
