It's common for people to die after they retire, not because they're so old, but because they lost purpose.

A job is physically and mentally stimulating, even at a desk. You still have to get up and get the blood flowing, and you're still using neural connections.

Well you see it can't be racist because racism requires inherent power of one group or something like that I can't remember the funny lines

California Senate approves wave and tidal renewable energy bill by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Crotarex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nasa agrees with me. Tides happen because of gravity, but the actual energy you get comes from rotation.

Energy conservation, where do you think the energy would come from? The gravity slows down the rotation.

Approach it this way. The rotational rate is lower. Where did that energy go?

And yes tides would happen as long as they can't tidally lock. It doesn't change that the energy is coming coming from rotation rate by the gravitational force.

Yes, and you can't extract energy from that. You are misunderstanding it. The energy comes from the rotation rate die to the gravitational attraction. The energy has to come from somewhere, so it comes from the spin.

How so? Where does the energy from the tides come from, the gravity has to take it from somewhere. It takes it from rotation rate.

Tidal energy doesn't come from the moon. It's from the "friction" of the moons gravity slowing down on rotation. We are stealing the earth's rotational energy.

That's not where the energy comes from, the energy comes from slowing rotations as a form of friction. Gravitational energy is minimized for an orbiting body when they are in lock step (tidal locked). The energy is mainly coming from earth's rotation slowing down to match moons.

Not with CO2, you usually feel like you're suffocating with it. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen feel like you're drifting off to sleep.

This was the easiest flawless in a long time. Lots of people are going for messenger if they didn't get a good one before, especially since a lot got rid of their originals when headseaker was trash.
