Huge huge miscalculation on his part here.

Electric motors all have efficiency curves which show the efficiency (power output to power input) relative to the RPMs of the motor. Without addressing that, the rest of this experiment is meaningless. If he tested it on ten different motors he'd come up with ten completely different results.

What he SHOULD have done was to use a motor that he can fix the RPMs, adjust it to the peak efficiency RPMs for each setup and then measure windflow and power consumption. That would give him some numbers he can use.

I think he has dyslexia. It would explain a lot about him. He probably spent his whole life living in shame about his inability to read properly.

Dyslexia doesn't have to be crippling (just look at Sir Richard Branson) but it's important to recognize and deal with the issues rather than let it fester.

@bobknight33 are you educated beyond grade 3? I genuinely wonder, because anyone with an adult brain can see the difference between cutting illegal immigration and Trump's Sovietsque scheme to build a wall.

Still waiting on your response. When will you admit you were wrong about Obama or explain specifically how he ruined the country?

A little late, Brian.

He's way past pissing.

Evidence pointed to a Putin - Trump connection before, but now it's a lock.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/10/was_a_server_registered_to_the_trump_organization_communicating_with_russia.html

This article is long to explain all the technical details, but the upshot is that one of Putin's closest allies runs Alfa Bank. Alfa Bank has been communicating in secret with Trump during the course of the campaign. Traffic peaks during pivotal campaign moments (conventions, debates, scandals etc.) The server was set up in a way that one computer expert said was the way organized crime does it when two different groups want to collaborate in secret. Once the first findings were published on Reddit, the Trump server suddenly went offline.

A week later, a new Trump server came online and the very first communication from the Internet to that new server was from Alfa Bank. This cannot be random, the Trump server has an unpublished address, so only someone who knew the exact address could contact that server.

I think it's very clear Trump is receiving instructions from Moscow. Probably due to his huge debt load. I'd say with 99% confidence that Trump is acting as a Russian agent.

They show that in the video.

Start with a really short string, gradually make it longer.

Project "Veritas" is about as aptly named as "No Child Left Behind" or the "Clean Air Act"

It's an Orwellian sham, the perpetrators have, time and again been proven outright fraudulent in their methods. Nothing they say can be believed because they have lied so often in the past. BobKnight, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you're capable of writing to the level shown above and in some of your posts you're capable of enough critical thinking to see straight through these phonies. That you make no attempt at critical thinking is just--well, for once, Trump said it best--SAD.

There's no discussion here. Clinton has played fast and loose with the rules for her own gain, she's gamed the system, she's taken the expedient position far more times than she's taken the good, honorable, or right positions. She's not a very good choice for president.

Donald Trump is bankrupt. He claims to be a great businessman, but in reality it certainly appears he owes more than he has right now. In any case, at the very LEAST, even if you take his own over-inflated assessment of his net worth he'd have been further ahead putting his money in indexed mutual funds than trusting his own business acumen. He'd have been farther ahead still if he'd just held on to all the real estate daddy left him. The best you can say about him, business wise, is that after stiffing contractors for their pay, paying NO taxes for decades, and arranging at least six bankruptcies in such a way that he took minimum damage and his investors bore the brunt.... after all that, he's only BEHIND a few billion dollars from where he'd be if he'd just invested it and left it alone.

On top of that, it certainly appears he's a rapist, or at the very least guilty of sexual assault. He's so weak and afraid he has to constantly bully and puff himself up (this is not how strong people act). He appears to have little to no grasp of international affairs, tax policy, the environment, the economy. Worse still, he doesn't care that he knows nothing and makes no attempt to educate himself.

So... rapist-psychopath-egomaniac-moron, or lady who's a bit shifty. Hmm, tough choice.

And by "defy" you mean "follow the rules of exactly because that's how it's designed", right?

I mean, it's pretty obvious how/why it works, actually a totally simple way to get rifling from an un-rifled barrel. More mass to the outside means the spin has more power to keep the slug going straight.

If the gang is smart enough to make such sophisticated skimmers, I'm sure they're smart enough to evade the police.

"Hey kid, here's $10 Euros, go put this on that ATM."

"Hey kid, here's $10 Euros, go get the card skimmer."

"Hey kid, if you finger me, your whole family is going to die."

Cops pick up one kid, there's 100 more willing to take his place.

I think "ingenious" is over-selling it.

"Hey, let's make a can for drinks."

"What shape?"

"Well, people drink out of glasses... and cans are already almost that exact same shape which has been working great for decades. So let's make it the same f^$%ing shape as people already use, WTF other shape would we possibly even consider, you moron!"

"Umm, a sphere?"

Tachyons haven't really been proven.

One theory that has a lot of merit (apparently) is that neutrinos are tachyons.

Yes, it's called Psychopathy, or Anti-Social Personality Disorder.

It doesn't mean you go around killing people (though it certainly lowers the bar!)

Here's a good article about a scientist studying the characteristics of psychopathic brains who accidentally found out that he was a psychopath. He'd never realized it, because everything in life had gone his way, but once he saw what he was, he reflected and found things he'd done without any guilt that ordinary people might have dwelt on (or not done in the first place).

As I understand it, Psychopathy (or ASPD) means that there's no empathy for other people. They can't read emotions like the rest of us can, and so they see other people almost like unfeeling robots. In extreme cases, the psychopath believes they are the only real person in a world of automatons and they think no more of other people than you or I would think of plant life. There's a range, this isn't an absolute on or off switch. About 10% of the male population and 1% of the female population has it to some degree (much higher in politics and executive offices).

I think there's an implied 'rational' before that statement.

After all nobody thinks otherwise. If they think at all they'll figure it out.

“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” - Benjamin Franklin

You were warned.

But Americans would rather watch Fox News and be afraid of terrorists than curtail the rampant abuses perpetrated by police every day.

Number of people killed by Police in the US since 9/11 = 5,000, over 350 per year

Number of American civilians killed worldwide from Terrorist attacks in 2011 = 17

Yeah, give the cops more power and bigger guns.
