Everyone dies in the end. Don't measure justice by lifespan. Stan was, is and will be universally adored (even for a "more DC than Marvel guy" like me) long after his passing. That's a solid legacy right there. CVF on the other hand, he get cursed every living day and his grave will be awashed in piss & spits in days to come.

Yeah, there's a really solid reason for that.

I personally like the visuals of the CGI characters. It's a hell of a lot better than I'd assumed a live action incarnation of Pokemon would look, so perhaps my opinion is colored by having had very low expectations in advance.

I hope for a solid front from the press, no longer covering the blatant liars at the Whitehouse until they get over their tantrum and publicly apologize. Remove their public voice, stop giving the troll attention.
This is unacceptable from any American politician. This is more like Saudi Arabian mentality. Jim better stay out of government buildings or he might end up being dismembered.
Dumb Donald really dropped any pretense of maturity or civility. Thank goodness he has at least one check on his anti American tantrums now.

Footage of the incident, the woman clearly placed her hands on him, not the other way around. Notice the white house doctored the footage, speeding it up when Jim moves to make the contact look more forceful and deliberate than it actually was.

Edit: Jim should sue them for assault and slander/libel. Since this blatant lie is being used as pretext for interfering with his profession, he could make Trump pay his salary.

solid.

Hmmm......the site i ended up on indicated much less progress, perhaps I misunderstood and they were only discussing
DFRJ tests.
I trust wiki has it right.
I can't find any real info on the gll holod, but I would expect it was also launched with a solid rocket/missile if it wasn't pure propaganda. Scram jets just don't work under mach 4-5.

All you mention are a far cry from sustained hypersonic powered atmospheric flight, which is what we're talking about here.

You mentioned a ramjet, but scramjet engines are hardly an incremental improvement, they're an entirely different class of jet engine. Ramjet engines only do around mach 2.5- 5, scramjets 4-8+ theoretically. What's needed for a viable weapon imo is the next iteration of dual mode ramjets that can do both with one engine, that's a long way off. Public scramjet engine tests have only been successful in a few short 5 second+- burns so far, launched with conventional solid rockets.

"The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."

-- George Orwell

George Orwell didn't know about global warming, or his quote might have been a little different at the end.

I have a story... Back in the early 80s in PA when I was a callow, I wanted a dog. My parents and I went to a pet shelter. I found a cute small dog. We went to a tiny room with a worker and this dog. The dog decided to poop a huge long smelly solid poop on the floor. And then, I said nevermind and stuck with smaller easier managed pets like fishes, hermit crabs, etc.

Wait.....WHAT?!?
Have you finally realized/admitted Trump is just a Putin lackey and anti-American tool!?
What was it? His suggesting we recognize Russian Crimea/Ukraine in violation of numerous treaties and international laws, and against our own self interests?
His praise of a power hungry dictator who recently helped gas civilians?
Was it his publicly taking an expert professional liars self serving word (Putin) over his (our) entire intelligence communities solid evidence about election meddling, meddling he now both claims didn't happen and blames on Obama's inaction, all while his administration does far less to stop future attacks that he actively encourages with his acceptance and dismissals?

Holy shit! Something got through the bubble. Mark this date for posterity.

Um, you completely missed his point. Didn't you listen to him?

He's saying it doesn't matter what you do of what rules you use personally, it will make no difference if we don't have the proper leadership in government to make the right decisions in leadership is setting standards and solid decisions on how to clean our environment.

This video is about how, really, only government can effect the change needed to curb global warming.
Unfortunately the current US government is dismantling all those rulings and safe-gaurds, in the name of corporate money and greed over environment and the people affected by those decisions.

(His point was NOT that people trying to be healthy were dying young anyway. He was using them as examples to the fact that, no matter how hard you try on a personal level, it takes laws to make the bigger decisions to affect change)

@greatgooglymoogly -- "Lethal force is only for when someone's life is actively being threatened."

and @Mordhaus -- "You can't shoot a fleeing suspect in the back unless the officer has probable cause to believe the suspect 'poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm'."


A fair investigation absolutely needs to happen. BUT, it is at least possible that it was reasonable for the officer to make the judgement call that the kid was an active and significant threat of death or bodily harm to other people.

If he's running away from a car that was clearly used in a drive-by, with weapons in the car... I dunno, man. However questionable the officer's actions are, the kid getting himself into that situation requires a rather longer and even more questionable chain of life decisions.

I'm not saying that stuff is known (I haven't read or watched anything beyond the video), and again a fair investigation into the officer's actions is absolutely necessary. But at some point, I think @transmorpher makes a solid counter argument -- again, IF the stuff about him clearly having just been involved with a drive-by is true. Live by the gun, expect to die by it.

Sure, let's say you need a foundation. Wouldn't it be best if it were one solid stone? Now, isn't it easier to make that stone in place and in the right shape from an easily transported liquid instead of hauling in a 150 ton slab you have to then carve into shape?
Edit : this seems to turn the cement back into a single solid stone which should be far more stable and solid than regular cement/concrete.

Before the space shuttle would launch, the main engine would ignite first. After six seconds the two solid rocket boosters would ignite and the shuttle would launch.

The six second delay was necessary because the main engine ignition would rock the "stack" or the entire assembly of the shuttle, fuel tank and boosters forward. It took 6 seconds for the stack to return to the upright position.

This 6 second period of sway was referred to as "twang."

Figured I'd pass that little bit of info on to you in case you're ever asked about twang on a radio quiz show.

I cannot say how much I enjoyed watching this. Kid's a solid drummer and I love how much she was into it.

They can't all be solid gold hits like this....
