It's not the dissenting opinion that leads to insults.

It's the utter suspension of deductive logic when presented with objective, tangible facts.

"Running across a watery surface can be dangerous, get it QM?

You see:
              -Water is often wet.
              -Wetted surfaces provide less friction.
              -Lower friction tends to convert potential energy into kinetic.
              -When potential energy is converted quickly, i.e. at high velocity, into kinentic,
               lots of Force is generated.
              -When that force is met by an equal and opposite force, high entropy
               is generally achieved


Therefore:
              - since the bones in your skull are usually less resilient, able to absorb energy,               than the opposing force of a ceramic or concrete poolside
              - the greatly increased energy of your brain matter will likely disperse itself               across a larger area of space.

You see how that chain of events could result in needless suffering?"

QM - "Well you see, what you leftist fools fail to wake up to is the that fact that poolside "safety" rules are simply more big gov'ment regulation disguised as "social justice".
All heaped on top of the hard-working American job creators by those dimwit Marxist Taxocrats.

..And another thing, about Obama.."

blah blah blah..

Ok. For what real-world commercial purpose would "Dragons Breath" be used for? That looks like it should be illegal.


He has many questionably legal things. He was going to do an episode on his ceramic knife, but he said he couldn't without getting in serious trouble.

I have always liked the back ground noise produced from a diner/cafe, the murmurer of patrons, the kitchen sounds, clunking and clinking ceramics.

one could fall asleep too it.

bullshit. with the same basic argument you could outlaw all traditional steel brakes. ceramic composite brakes stop your car at shorter distances. so go and buy your ride 8000EUR brakes or you will die a horrible death.

1. my nickname since age 6, translated into english, is "worm". no relation to dennis rodman
2. my first girlfriend's name was "buckwheat". she was 6 years older than me. she had long blonde straight hair that would smell of honey even through a cloud of shit
3. my upper front teeth are ceramic. i lost them in a bar fight, falling dead drunk on my face
4. you can't beat me at table soccer
5. i like jazz
6. i smoke a lot of weed, although i prefer hashish
7. I also deal, on and off. hence the constant supply ...
8. i was self-hospitalized to a mental hospital on 3 separate occasions for being fucking retarded
10. i'm bad at math
9. i used to do heroin for a few months. now i mostly pop pills. shrooms optional (and weed is not a drug - it's medicine)
11. i like sci-fi. and comics. and good movies. they make me feel there's hope for humanity after all
12. my all time fav sport's figure is michael jordan. i stopped watching nba after he left for good
14. i dislike nr. 13
15. i belive that at this evolutionary point in time we, as a human race, can not possibly hope to ever comprehend the true nature of reality we find ourselves in. lhc is a useless waste of money and effort
16. five years ago i got my driving licence revoked for dui
17. my penis is bent to the left. i blame masturbation

22. i hope there's no afterlife
23. unless there's 72 horny virgins waiting for me
24. i lie a lot
25. i would never ever go charter

You risk Bankruptcy with each spin. This is wise only if the prize is the pair of ceramic dalmatians ($800)

The phone/balloon are held aloft by the atmosphere. The shuttle is doing orbital velocity and re-entering the atmosphere. The shutle's moving a lot further and faster. It's like the difference in energy between skipping a stone across a pond, or placing the stone gently on the surface of the water (actually a couple inches down in the water), and letting go.

So my major thought just now was the atmosphere..
although I will go and learn for myself, right now I wonder why they did not need head shields or anything like that.
Just where oh where does the atmosphere begin exactly/end exactly, Why does a space craft from NASA need some ceramic plating while this lil doodad needed naught but shaved expanding foam.
on a side note, I think it would of made the video better if in every frame that is shown whilst someone was in frame, they would of held a hot dog in a bun.
eta- "The atmosphere has a mass of about 5 × 1018 kg, three quarters of which is within about 11 km (6.8 mi; 36,000 ft) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. An altitude of 120 km (75 mi) is where atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft. -wiki "

The big difference is that the space shuttle has to travel really really fast (more than 17000 mph) "sideways" to stay in orbit while a balloon goes almost straight up. When coming back down a balloon-doodad can just fall straight down with a little parachute because it never reaches any significant speed.
A space shuttle has to slow down a lot and they do that by diving into the atmosphere belly-first, compressing the air in front of it. This heats up the air and slows down the shuttle.

I have a mug just a little bigger than that on my desk at work. I picked it up at a ceramic shop in Mexico.
I don't always finish what I have in it, but what I do drink never gets a chance to go cold.

>> ^KnivesOut:

Innuendo aside, I want a mug that big. That is a serious cup of coffee.


Mug is way too big to handle.

I still don't know how to make a ceramic mug but I have a clear idea of what she would look like wanking off a mule... I'm sorry

This comment interested me so I did a little morning time research. You are right in stating that this technology has been out there for a long time. One of the major down falls of conventional SOFC's are that they require a high operating temperature. The efficiency of SOFC's limitations lie in the material they use because of the high operating temperatures. The bloom box claims to have solved this problem with a fairly cost effective solution for what materials to use (melted sand = glass?). They were always made from ceramic before, I don't know what improvements glass have over ceramics. I don't know if their claims are all true. Too early to tell since it was just "released".

That all being said, I don't understand what the hoopla is about, either. You'd still need to bring some sort of natural gas to each "bloom box". Let's say tomorrow, we took out all the power plants and replaced every home and business with one of these devices. Let's say they operate at 70% efficiency (10% more than traditional SOFC's), would this be more energy efficient than a power plant. Would it cost us any less natural resources to run our planet? Those questions are a little more difficult to find out. Gotta do some more research on power plants. Somebody with a degree have any insight?>> ^joedirt:
You guys are total suckers and idiots.
This is like ancient technology. It is just a solid oxide fuel cell.
The only thing interesting is that they have existing fuel cell installs at eBay and google.
This won't be cheap or better. All it does is capture the big green energy investors and also it uses tax rebates in places like California to let rich people subsidize their electricity.

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
Totally fake. If you've ever seen a cremated human, they don't put them in little teeny ceramic pots. They give you a freaking INGOT. Seriously, the vessel they put the ashes in by itself alone has to weigh 15-20 pounds.


Perhaps the ashes were split amongst different relatives.

Boy he nails it with the ceramic artifact. Just shows how lazy and inconsistent the makers are with the Star Trek universe. And then he brilliantly follows it up with Picard coming out of the wrong door.
