(25c, not .25c)
Hell, I'd pay 25 cents more just to have the privilege of not being handed back a quarter. Lugging around change is crap.
That's happened to be with 2 back surgeries, one on my arm, and every filling I've ever had done.
Anyway, I'd get this procedure done in a heartbeat anyway.
It should probably be noted when talking about the history of science during the so called dark ages that the Islamic Empire covered a very vast area. The society was homogeneous only in religion, not in 'race'.
My (limited) understanding is that their scientific collapse was the result of a series of (religious in nature) bans on various scientific activities (translation, dissection, etc) This seems to have had fair reaching effects on the viability of their Empire and has likely been the cause of the Muslim worlds comparatively limited scientific activity since then.
Therefore I would expect that the decline of Islamic science is not a symptom of a perceived performance deficiency among people with Arab names, but rather the cause. Considering the apparently solely cultural nature of the issue, any observed phenomenon could be subject to extremely rapid change and is likely to have a very significant number of outliers.
No, I suspect it has not.
Cheeky insults, (which "my goldfish codes better than you" OBVIOUSLY is) are not attempts to "undermine your male colleague's confidence in their ability". If you think that is not the case, then you are obviously completely out of touch with male to male interaction in the US.
Even Apple itself doesn't believe that. They left the server market when they killed Xserve.
You don't have a solid grasp on male-to-male communication in the US workplace. Please keep in mind that perhaps your culture is different.
If however you are interested in treating the cause, then I suggest you listen to what yelsgib has to say.
I think most of the rational supporters of men's rights would like a world where both of those numbers are 0.
I really wish they would start pushing on each other harder, so I could use only one for both...
Furthermore, shitcanning all the non-manned stuff NASA does is a fucking terrible idea. Science without study of the universe is crazy.
Wait, so you split water and burn it in a generator to generate the power you're using to split the water? I would love to see someone work out the math on that one... Everything I know about chemistry suggests that the best you'll ever do is 100% efficiency, which you of course cannot hit if you're not burning all of your H2 (which you wouldn't be, since the point is to get H2 to lift the whole thing).
"This is already being done commercially."
Do you have an example?
To GTO those numbers are 2400kg and 4680kg.
The "Launch Payload" of the Dragon spacecraft (6000kg) appears to be approximately the Mass to LEO of the block 2 (10450kg) minus the mass of an empty Dragon spacecraft (4200kg).
Lies. How could you? :(
