Join the crowd, why mine asteroids when billions have crashed into the moon and are nicely powdered into regolith and at the poles the sun shines all the time just put the panels on a mast and rotate them with the sun and there's water ice in them thar craters. It's the logical next step and eventually we can put a lot of industry in space, a linear mass driver can shoot payloads like machine gun bullets into lunar orbit, aimed precisely at the doors of a solar powered foundry thousands of miles away. We could waste our money on war, but this time it will be more of an international effort on our end and competition with China and perhaps India and others. Russia will be in the stone age and the only thing they will be doing about the moon there will be worshiping it. I am a little leery of Elon's moon ship, looks a bit top heavy to me and the moon isn't the most level or smoothest place, but it does carry a lot.

perhaps i've read too much science fiction, but i don't trust a megalomaniac like musk to be in control of anything in space. he would declare independence and those same linear accelerators can be used to hold the earth hostage. i don't trust him or any private entity to control anything in space until the government has a significant presence established.

she does not understand the relationship a client has with a contract employee...a contract employee is their own boss, the only rules they have to follow are those laid out in the contract they signed.
and she's a cunt...
White privilege, a white driver would have told her to fuck off or punched her in the face over an insult or poke at him. People on the internet will find out who she is where she works, dox her and end her career, whatever it is. Racism is dangerous to one's income and social standing, so it must be concealed, and the frustration comes out in bleats of freedumb and is kind of a free-floating rage at unimportant things. They are discontented with a roaring economy and whipping Vlad ass into the last century and need action, they don't know what kind, but action of some kind. They are unhappy about imaginary things money determines privilege in America, not so much skin color these days or religion either. Some young black rap star can buy and sell them, the place they work and even their Jesus worshipping con artist politicans.

So I just got back from my towns Turkey Day Run- everyone participates from The Purist to The Walker and many have dogs. It's 4 miles. Because I was walking and until The Purist passed by, I stuck to the side but each barricade had 'feet' to step over..no one would be running there. As it turns out there were The Purist all the way to the back apparently worried about their time. As I was walking I had some people run into me where they couldn't run if that space were open- this was still in the starting gated area which would then open up to full road. A woman about 6ft 180, said 'excuse me' and gave me a shove (I had my dog in my hands) and I fell over..the impression that struck me was no one would help me and literally ran over me.

I never could understand how people get crushed to death at concerts etc. Now I know.

Oh yes she does..soon as her phone is charged she's calling Uber and telling them that she thinks her driver is intoxicated or under the influence. They will immediately cut him from getting any more rides until they call him hours later where it will be pointed out (by the driver) that if she was so concerned why did she take the whole ride? Uber will not have an answer; they will then reinstate but he already missed the afternoon wave and he's on empty.

Engineering question.

If you have a electric motorcycle and it's traveling 60mph and hits an anti electrical field..wouldn't it just lose power but continue to travel since it has wheels until the propulsion wears off? In the movie NOPE it flips over like hitting a wall but it really wouldn't happen that way just artistic license.

Am I correct? Or do the wheels lock up on electrical motorcycle when it loses power?
