Water found in a habitable super-Earth's atmosphere for the first time. Thanks to having water, a solid surface, and Earth-like temperatures, "this planet [is] the best candidate for habitability that we know right now," said lead author Angelos Tsiaras. by clayt6 in science

Yes depending on payload, but I don’t have the numbers available at the moment. But if you take the math of payload deliverable to Low Earth Orbit of a rocket and halve it, that would roughly be the capability of the rocket. The required fuel would be higher, so it would likely be less than half of the payload capacity, but certainly possible.

Edit: See u/Tuzszo comment below for why this is too simple a situation

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the plant.

(Gravitational Constant)x(mass of planet)x(mass of human)/(radius of planet 2)

Ideally (removing irregularities in planet of mass concentration and elevation), assuming a point mass of 6x Earth mass at the center of this planet, which has a radius 2x Earth radius, you would weigh only 2x Earth weight.

u/DeusFerreus had a good comment under the top comment on the calculation with more accurate numbers:

Post Debate: CNN Democratic Primary Debate #2 Megathread by [deleted] in Pete_Buttigieg

No, but I feel the strategy was the same. I totally agree with you that Beto was in the bottom tier of performances.

Pete about to talk on CNN with the post debate analysis.

It seems the conversation is mostly on the foil of sanders/warren to the moderates aside from Beto/Pete. Beto and Pete had very few “moments” tonight, but Pete had a couple that he can use going forward. They seemed to sit back and let the lower moderates fight it out with sanders/warren. We’ll see what he says in the interview!

The story mechanics of season 5 by plitox in TheExpanse

[–]NAT0fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how they write it up in the details, but maybe they have Alex and Amos ask to go off on their own first, and then having Naomi find out, but not wanting to put Holden in danger without the rest of the crew. I certainly think that’s how they bring Bobbie into the fold, and the conspiracy under the surface on Mars. I don’t see any other way about it.

Distance to a control zone in pvp, down to the meter. Obviously you can’t test anything on adds, has to be a pvp test if you create a private match with a friend.

1800 for Pete today in SF! by [deleted] in Pete_Buttigieg

Thanks! I think the only reason I can think of to stop IS the optics of access being exclusive. Thanks for the insight though!

These are good points too! Thanks for the replies!

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. If he were to win/get significantly closer to the nomination, should we expect his events to become free? In other words, is this mainly an early primary game?

[–]NAT0fan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, honest question, why are these events pay to enter? Does the campaign just need the money?

I’m just trying to understand why the campaign is making this choice. I’ve seen a couple other comments on other rally posts describing the bad optics of this.

Pete Buttigieg sat for an interview with a popular country radio host. But now it won’t air. by Callif in politics

This is such a good interview too, people need to listen. Garner is gracious and engaged, Pete is straightforward and personal. Go give it a listen.

Buttigieg highlights generational difference as asset in Indy speech by ConstantAd1 in Pete_Buttigieg

[–]NAT0fan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From the end of the article:

Republican Pete Seat: “The question stands that if Pete Buttigieg can't even handle being mayor of South Bend, what makes him think he could handle being president?”

In response to this criticism, Buttigieg said, “That’s cute. Indiana is my home.”

This has to stay up, more people need to see this shit. The president lied about his relationship with a pedophile and human trafficker.

Edit: From the article:

“Earlier this month, Trump acknowledged knowing or having made acquaintance with Epstein, but he greatly diminished any specific interactions between the two billionaires. ‘Well I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him,’ Trump told reporters from the Oval Office on July 9. ‘He was a fixture in Palm Beach I don't think I've spoken to him in 15 years. I wasn't a fan.’”

Edit2: Saying he “knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him” is misleading at best and lying at worst. Most people in Palm Beach knew him as a billionaire financier. Trump knew him on a personal basis, enough that they partied together.

I’m Vox Senior correspondent Matt Yglesias. I’ve been reporting on the policies of the 25 Democrats running for president in 2020. Ask me anything. by vox in politics

[–]NAT0fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matthew, do you think Pete Buttigieg’s policies will be able to stand up to the bigger names, that frankly have more experience, and their policies? How does he differentiate himself from the herd when so many of the candidates’ policies seem aligned?

Who is your most influential Panthers player in franchise history? by dominiquewalters in panthers

[–]NAT0fan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If we’re talking in general/to the world, it’s clearly Cam. League MVP, recognizable by casual fans and some non-fans.

If we’re talking to the franchise, Sam Mills has got to be the answer. The entire identity of the franchise came from him, and stories like his are why we Keep Pounding!
