It didn't. Part of the collapse was at free-fall acceleration, but not all of it. https://ws680.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=861610

I can assure you, 9/11 is a real date. Of course, that date is 9th November.

Wallowsome.

Did he say something about a border wall in Ireland? The fuck?

Rule no. 2: Don't go to Florida.

I watched the original in 1986. I don't like that the remake is a drama. I preferred it as a comedy.

I have 200 million dollars in a single currency. Was that a mistake?

Scotland and NI, maybe. Wales ain't breaking away.

Voted for the first time. 13 years of taking democracy for granted.

20 episodes, an hour long each I think.

Watch Westworld.
May 23, 2019 at 16:59
I suggest that you don't do what I suggest.

It was rubbish. They changed it up slightly in the latest season and it's really good. I've recently started watching Doom Patrol. Bizarre and awesome...

You should watch Westworld.
May 22, 2019 at 20:59
Your “counter point” isn’t really a counter point. You asked for the reason and I gave it to you. You might think it unfair, but it is nonetheless the...

The government needs money and the rich are better able to provide this money than the poor.

You mean aside from the answers by and ?

You mean the lone article from 2015 isn't enough?

He didn't. He wrote that Barr's summary "did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of this office’s work and conclusions."

Elastic.

Taking some illegal drugs, perhaps, e.g. @"S" and his friends camping in the woods.
April 27, 2019 at 07:37
No, my position is that you haven't justified your assertion that if something causes harm then it is immoral. Perhaps some things are acceptable even...

Motherfucker. I'm avoiding most places on the internet to avoid End Game spoilers and I get spoiled on StackOverflow of all places. Fucking "Hot Netwo...
April 26, 2019 at 09:38
If we pass over the notion of harm it could be argued that it is wrong to break the law, and so ipso facto wrong to take illegal drugs. But somehow I ...
April 26, 2019 at 07:40
They say that the best defence is a good offence, and we do like to ban posters willy-nilly - like @"Maw" - so I guess you’re onto something.
April 26, 2019 at 07:35
First you asked me to describe a scenario with drugs that doesn’t cause harm and I explained how such a question doesn’t address my critique, which is...

I didn't ignore them. I directly responded to them.

Sometimes I think I'm lonely, but then I realize I'm just bored.
April 25, 2019 at 21:20
I used to sneak alcohol to my brother and sister when they were that age. Why? That wouldn’t address my concern. Rather I can sketch a scenario where ...
April 25, 2019 at 19:33
I’m not saying that harm isn’t harm. I’m saying that you haven’t justified your assertion that any and all harm is immoral. Saying that if something c...

God I wish I could leave work stress at work. Why do I have to let it bother me out of hours? Maybe I should start drinking and/or drugging.
April 25, 2019 at 18:47
I think that you haven’t justified your assertion that it is immoral to cause harm, where harm is defined in the broad sense that you’ve defined it. I...
April 25, 2019 at 18:41
So could you clarify which drugs you’re talking about? Alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, meth, codeine, morphine? Which are immoral to take?
April 25, 2019 at 16:41
Is it taking drugs that is the problem or is it that these drugs are illegal that is the problem? If some drug was legal in one country and illegal in...
April 25, 2019 at 07:29
Shush. You're banned. That means no talking.
April 25, 2019 at 06:53
Why? 10,000 years ago we were all like the Sentinelese. And yet here we are now.
April 24, 2019 at 19:25
I’m not sure what you mean by “significance” here. Do you mean it in the sense of importance/relevance? I don’t know if it is important if it’s false,...
April 24, 2019 at 17:21
Because we're talking about real houses and flowers, not cartoon houses and flowers? If you want to talk about cartoon houses and flowers then we can,...
April 24, 2019 at 17:07
I don't see the relevance of that. People understood the Sun long before they knew anything about plasma or nuclear fusion (and that's true of lots of...
