It could certainly initiate stall of the rotor blades if there is too great an angle of attack. That could reduce lift quite abruptly but this should not happen close to the weight limit, or essentially safe lifting force limit. The design should include appropriate safety factors. Turbulence would create similar challenges

It would be good if Trump would concede the obvious for the sake of America, even if he doesn't owe that to the Democrats.

They're a pretty good, and very knowledgeable, group here. Hang in there. Not even remotely, given the evidence he's actually presented. Even his wildest claims seem to fall short, considering the gap. Adam Schiff level of credibility. Fortunately this won't take four years... Unfortunately now until January 20 may be the most critical phase of the pandemic.

No doubt

You do and +1. I'm not sure where you're heading with this but nothing you've said so far should be considered controversial. Maybe I'm just naive and iNow knows better.

Assuming you mean the latest Orwellian definition: He could possibly believe that...as suggested by my second question, but probably even for him only if the election was truly close, and there was potentially enough election fraud to make it questionable. So far there is no sign of that as a plausibility, despite his claims. If in fact he does have significant evidence he's done an excellent job of holding it back. Nor is there any sign that the Supreme Court would do any more than interpret the Laws and Constitution, and certainly nothing to the degree he would require, The most obvious reason for him to nominate the candidates he did was to keep the Court from becoming more "balanced" by Judges willing to change the actual meaning of the Laws and Constitution on grounds the Democrats consider moral, rather than have them changed by Congress. But that might be more the GOP than Trump himself, other than his being able to point to it as something he got done...

Most seem to acknowledge that Biden is the likely winner and many seem to admit that Biden should be allowed to prepare for office for the sake of America. Few acknowledge that Trump owes anything to the Democrats, even though they most certainly won the Presidential election. You might not agree that they're saving face but politically they are all tenable positions. Let's not pretend both sides don't play politics, even if often to the detriment of their constituents. Poor time to do it though, given the pandemic and how Trump is handling it. Do you seriously believe that? Or simply believe that to be Trump's hope or strategy?

Thanks again!

So generally speaking, you can't directly compare a 90% claim to a 95% one, you have to look further and the 90% claim could be the better one? (without even considering statistical variance but just method) Thinking about the numbers: If I'm interpreting it correctly, since it is unlikely that 5% of even the placebo group would get the virus with only a normal exposure distribution....would that mean that the unvaccinated group is simply 20 times more likely to get it given overall similar circumstances and makeup of each group? (or something close to that?) Not asking specifically about the latest claims...just generally what 95% would mean, or perhaps should mean for such claims.

Thanks CY!

What exactly does the 95% effective mean? Only one in 20 gets the virus? To what degree and with what degree of exposure? One in 20 never gets sick? Never gets symptoms? Never tests positive? Never able to spread the virus? Get it but not as badly as they would have? (how would they compare this?) I'm assuming never tests positive but what exposure level is tested? How would the numbers look with no vaccine and same test?

The Many Worlds Interpretation isn't a corollary of the Copenhagen Interpretation. They're alternative interpretations.

Planning for Thanksgiving? I think you might be better to just stick with turkey...(or is this your way of keeping the guests numbers under 10 with the pandemic, while feeling obligated to invite all the in-laws?)

Every interpretation seems unrealistic. We're wired to think more classically...but the evidence doesn't support it.

If nature was limited to classical physics free will is an illusion....but quantum physics allows us hope (just my opinion...predetermined or otherwise)

Bumped in a collision to an Earth-like orbit around a Sun-like star...accumulation of asteroids until an Earth-like surface is obtained.... I realize that is more than a little "inside the box"(timing aside)...so how far from the box can one stray?

What chemical interactions could take place? Wouldn't there be nothing but changes in state?

There might come a time when Mitsubishi robots would strongly disagree...at which point we might be in trouble.

Hopefully. I'm starting to need more varied excuses for lying on the couch. I'll try that one next.

Once one starts, the rest might feel the need to follow suit even if their results are preliminary, just to make sure they don't "miss out".

Generally speaking, we simply don't have time to investigate all our biases in anything close to a scientific manner, never mind a rigorous one. It's at best some degree of quality control sampling, then (hopefully) left to our good judgement gained from our experiences. Obviously guarding against confirmation bias is a good idea. Try to be accepting of people as much as possible...even if they're wearing a Toronto jersey....😄

You look fine. Many people, gay, straight, or however they see themselves would be quite content if they looked like you. I hope you can become more comfortable with yourself and that you get the help you need.
