@astridtheresia_ @gabydvj It is. They are trying to point out that the OP abandoned the Christian aspect of being a WASP.

@mtntallpaul @TheSphinxRocks Where objects approach the speed of light, high gravity, subatomic or quantum scales. Classical mechanics does not accurately predict behaviour. GE, SE, Quantum Mechanics are required.

Your position is that Newton's laws don't matter.
You haven't proven that.
I have nothing to prove.

@mtntallpaul Galileo isn't factual? Lange is infectual? Proven quantum mechanics theories aren't factual? Pretty sure you're going to find an awful lot of people who would argue that point. Now either explain your position, or f*** off.

@GHWTowler The idea that some 24 year old green haired gender studies graduate is more ‘educated’ than a 40 year plumber who dropped out of high school but now runs his own business is, of course, preposterous.
I know whose opinion id value most.
English
Yes it is, but it doesn’t say what you think it says.

@JPF369369369 @GHWTowler @LisaFranci84133 Course you are, that is why you are in the uneducated group, clearly I have to spell this out, hints were not hitting home. Remind me to come back to you when Farage nicks your pension and NHS. No crying now, you will know what you voted for, a charlatan and a grifter.

@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus The gas does not hit the rocket and push it forwards. That's not how the 3rd law works.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus And you thought that meant "all of the gas expands forward," and not "the portion of the gas that is expanding forward collides with the walls of the nozzle/rocket and imparts momentum."
English
If you show them pictures they’ll say they’ve been doctored, if you show them video they’ll call it AI, if you show them expert testimony they’ll cry conspiracy, if you show them math they won’t understand it. They’re not skeptics, they’re believers in a falsehood that can’t be dislodged.

Dear No Moonies: If we never landed on the moon what is your explanation for these images taken by the Chandrayaan-2 probe from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), when it mapped the lunar surface in detail in 2021?
English
@FemboyDCS @MarcusDAurelius @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus No. The ejected propellant does not "hit the nozzle" and "push the rocket forwards". This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the 3rd law.
English
@MarcusDAurelius @MrVanOosterhout @luketav80 @memeticsisyphus you guys are arguing about nothing, you can describe the same physical process in hundreds of ways and they're all fine
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus This is incorrect. You said the gas expands forwards and pushes the rocket. This is not how the 3rd law works. Equal and opposite.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus Considering I got this from my past physicist professors....I think they'll agree with me.
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus No they won't. You seem sincere enough and I hope you take the opportunity to educate yourself further. You are almost there. Good luck sir.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus Go ask a physicist, they will agree with me.
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus Yes but that is not the same as the internal expansion of the gas 'pushing' the rocket forwards as you said. That is incorrect.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus In throwing the ball, it is the ball pushing against your hand as you accelerate it away from you that pushes you back. The ball moving away is the aftermath, just as you moving away from the ball is the aftermath, but the acceleration comes from the pushing.
English
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus In short: The gas does not impart momentum to the rocket by leaving the rocket. It does so by pushing against the nozzle.
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus The internal expansion and molecules "pushing" forwards is not what causes the rocket to move as you said. It is the opposite action of the rearward force. Same as the opposite action of throwing the ball.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus "It's the ejection of the gas, not the mechanism that causes the ejection!"
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus Again, that's not how the 3rd law works. If every molecule was ejected perfectly through the exhaust nozzle the rocket would move forward. The internal expansion of the gas is not what moves the rocket.
English
@luketav80 @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus you would move backwards. Not from the ball moving backwards but from the ball pushing back on you as you threw it.
What do you think happens to the gas molecules that expand forward after colliding with the inner surface of the rocket that gets pushed forward?
English
@MarcusDAurelius @FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus Turned out to be completely wrong though. If you were stationary in space and threw a ball forwards what do you think would happen?
English
@FemboyDCS @MrVanOosterhout @memeticsisyphus didn't turn out to be much of a summary, actually longer than my first reply. Oh well.
English
@HolyoakeJ14576 @mikeysmith Ask yourself why the reporting on this is not clear and truthful, does not tell the full story, is fear mongering, and why you immediately fell for it.
English
@mikeysmith The regulation requires use of the word "Citrus" doesn't it?
"the EU now requires traditional citrus-based preserves to be sold under the specific legal name "citrus marmalade"."
English
This is, of course, abject 'bendy bananas' bullshit. The directive in question would not require marmalade sold in the UK to change its name.
Also pretty much all marmalade in the UK - including Robertson's Golden Shred, by far the biggest brand - IS ALREADY LABELLED ORANGE MARMALADE.
Priti Patel MP@pritipatel
Labour is now attacking the great British marmalade! No idea Keir is so desperate to fit in with his EU pals and unpick Brexit, he's now looking to rename British marmalade to align with the EU. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses big time…. mol.im/a/15703815
English
@cornwall70001 @Bounette2009 Oof. If you turn those packs around they say 'Orange Marmalade' 😂 Jesus wept 🤦♂️
English
Yes it’s only going to cost UK businesses a significant amount of money to rebrand and relabel all to appease the EU. Deborah here doesn’t give a toss about that though.
Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦@DeborahMeaden
Can we stop with the marmalade thing. We can still use it it’s just we need to add “citrus” to marmalade as other fruits are used in the EU. Hardly newsworthy…
English
@_DundeePerfect_ @DeborahMeaden Both these labels clearly state 'Orange Marmalade'. George Carlin was right 💀
English
Michael is a politician and he hasn’t realised these labels can stay exactly as they are…
Michael Fabricant 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦@Mike_Fabricant
Enjoy these traditional labels while you can. #Starmer is signing us up to #EU regulations which say only the Portuguese can use the word “Marmalade” alone.
English
@doubleDD343 @dark1x @ItsDervy @VisualFidelity It's nothing like Halo Infinite though is it? Parts of the game were time gated on purpose, not a lack of content. It's common now, Arc did it too. Nothing wrong with holding off a review or doing a preliminary then follow up. Move with the times.
English
@dark1x @ItsDervy @VisualFidelity The same way you review Halo Infinite with less content. The purpose of a review is to inform consumers. Doing favors for the corp linked to the product is the complete opposite
English
IGN seemingly got it backwards.
Marathon should be a 6
Crimson Desert should be a 9
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Travis Northup, the IGN reviewer who gave Crimson Desert a 6 and Marathon a 9, is asking his editor for a re-review. He is busy getting into fights with people on X about his scores. He eventually concedes that Crimson Desert deserves another review and claims to have asked his editor for another crack at it.
English
@BikesAndVidya @dark1x @VisualFidelity It's incredible in solo play. It's quite hard though so probably not for everyone.
English
@dark1x @VisualFidelity How about it's limited quest design that isn't designed for solo play?
I enjoyed it for about 20 hours but I don't get the urge to fire it up every night like I did the old halo games and even destiny 2.
English
@dark1x @VisualFidelity "Why the heck are people slagging of a game from a 3.2BN acquired studio owned by Sony with a track record of being anti-consumer and anti-player, repeatedly caught lying, deleting paid content, hiding reviews until launch"
Gee, i wonder why
John loves Playstation doesn't he

@17_DarkToLight @grok @ChrisMartzWX "from a plane or high mountaintop" nowhere does he say US mountain? Apologies if you have developmental delays and struggle with words but you really need to read things properly before you soil yourself in public 💀
English
You are a moron.
The Earth being an oblate spheroid is a fact. It isn’t a theory. It’s a natural fact.
You can even see the curvature from a plane or high mountaintop.
I fly every few weeks.
I see it all the time.
There is retarded. And then there are flat Earth believers.
I thought my audience was smarter than this, but I guess not.
Truth Seeker@ID_As_Normal
@ChrisMartzWX This reminds me of the hate expressed towards those crazy conspiracy theorists who thought maybe the coronavirus came from a Chinese lab, or that the vaccines didn't really work. Since we've recently found out that they were actually right, maybe the earth is flat after all!
