It seemed he knew that, and was focused on the friction, which would account for the difference between the S and F force.

As the only pulley is fixed, there is no mechanical advantage.

I think it can be improved. I can't say it should be abolished without knowing what would replace it.

For all Trump's faults, reluctance to "pull the trigger" with a nuclear weapon is not one of them.

Such a terrible disposition to hold...

Electoral College has some anti-Democratic elements to it as well. It generally favours the larger States, and the ones with a relatively even split between the two parties, due to the "winner takes all" part of the process.

100?

Given Trump's mental condition, I suspect Yang will pardon him. It will help heal America.

The surface of a sphere is borderless...yet finite.

We all tend to be selfish. That's why we often need regulating, and need to be cautious about who does it.

Power output can and does change over time. kW per hour is real...it just does not have not common usage.

Why would an increasing rate of electrical power not be useful?

I never made that claim. In fact I implied otherwise.

If you take a golden gander at the link, you can probably tell where it might apply, and where it might not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

On the internet. Scienceforums.net.

It's fairly simple. We tend to serve our self interest as individuals. If not regulated this can lead to very bad outcomes, not always just for the group but sometimes for each and every participant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Thanks. So spontaneous fission is that which half-lives are based on?

Still spontaneous, but isn't fission driven by collisions, and heavy water used to make fission type/resulting collisions more likely?

I use a simple set up in the winter to heat my house; a stationary bike with frictional resistance. 100 % efficient! (no, not thermodynamic efficiency)

Did they manage to get any straight answers to their questions? I hope you told them about MigL wanting to kill all the marine mammals as well. It sure is helpful here.

How long did it take you?

I'm onto them as well. Ever since they helped fake the moon landing.

Might want to increase your fibre intake.

I think we are all going to the same place, or no place, regardless of whether you believe or don't believe... Unless of course you try to cheat and take on Pascal's Wager...then you are going to Hell.

First past the post wins each seat. Majority of seats forms the government. If no majority the party with the most seats generally forms a minority government though coalition majorities are possible. Not all seats have the same number of constituents. If the US joined we might start you off with one seat and see how you did...
