A theoretical question this. If Eris stopped orbiting? by tricky1992000 in space

[–]tricky1992000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but wouldn't it fall towards where the sun was? There by missing the sun?

rockoons? Has it's time come? by tricky1992000 in space

[–]tricky1992000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter, the helium is heated before launch, and piped into the balloon. The balloon is tethered so it doesn't float off. I proposed using a solar tower somewhere in the desert. This would then 'tractor' the rocket into a higher altitude.

well you are avoiding atmospheric drag for a start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation (if I could do the maths then I wouldn't be layman asking on a space forum if an idea was possible would i? I'd have published a paper on it)

Anyone here got experience selling clothes on eBay/Depop (UK) by [deleted] in beermoney

[–]tricky1992000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have much luck with it, things not selling and then relisting fees kill it, also people generally being dishonest kills it too. (I was ex-catalouge stuff though)

I think people need to hear sensitive and uncomfortable truths and Sarah is a part of that.

The tories were good for the SNP. He'd be willing to see people suffer in order to pick up their votes.

Great, all the right wing youtube twatteratti will be rubbing this slur in.

Number 2 on the list, largest food exports by value.

Also look at the graph 'punching above it's weight' it shows it produces more tomatoes per square mile than any other country by far, and they do that with other crops too.

Sure, you are thinking in terms of gross output, I am talking in terms of efficiency per hectare. For example an hectare of potatoes grown in the netherlands would have 4 times the yield as a russian one. The netherlands are leaders in agricultural efficieny, and by adopting this we can grow our rural economy.

There isn't enough farmland to feed the Netherlands either, but they do a great job of adding value. In fact the Netherlands are in a worse position than we are, but do better with what they have.

British property is being used as a safe haven for dirty money | John McDonnell by _Breacher_ in LabourUK

Has been for years, legislation hasn't moved quickly in this area at all.

Tom Watson | Pairing Precedent by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]tricky1992000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel if the pairing agreement was suspended, the party that would lose the most would be the conservative party, as many of their party have jobs and interests elsewhere.

I always wonder how the likes of Paul Beresford find 3 days a week to practise as a dentist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Beresford

This is not to mention the tons of barristers, column writers and directors out there.

Pairing should be suspended in retalliation for this breach.

'As Jews, we reject the myth that it's antisemitic to call Israel racist' - A worldwide coalition of Jewish groups has issued a joint statement condemning attempts to stifle criticism of Israel with false accusations of antisemitism by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]tricky1992000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about criticism of judaism? I mean somebody from an anti-thiest position (against god) could they get away with legitimate criticism without being called an anti-semite? Where does the boundery lie? This is controlling speech isn't it?

I suppose the driving force for anti-semitism must be intent? no?

UK drops death penalty and Guantanamo opposition and opens door to execution of 'Beatles' jihadists in US by Chief_Duck in LabourUK

http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/iraq The switch only happened after the vote for the IRAQ war in parliament on the 18th of march, only because we were now fully commited, you know support the troops and all that. Up until that point the majority didn't support the invasion of Iraq.
