  1. 1. Spall are flakes of a material that are broken off a larger solid body and can be produced by a variety of mechanisms, including as a result of projectile impact, corrosion, weathering, cavitation, or excessive rolling pressure (as in a ball bearing). 2. Advection, in chemistry, engineering and earth sciences, is a transport mechanism of a substance, or a conserved property, by a fluid, due to the fluid's bulk motion in a particular direction. 3. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both the speed and direction of the object's motion. 4. The draft (or draught) of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), with the thickness of the hull included; in the case of not being included the draft outline would be obtained. 5. Boobies
  2. If I were to have a practice debate regarding Christianity with non-Christians, I would not consider it to be in the best interest to be a public one. And I do admit that some of my reactions in the past posts were a bit rash, to which I apologize, and ask for your forgiveness. There is a difference between "A blind leap of faith" and "Reasonable assumption based upon logical conclusions drawn by evidences, testimonies and historical accounts". In the respect of this assumption definition, Theism and Atheism are equally faiths. Even through I've never seen first-hand the rigorous testing that went into a safety belt installed into a car, I assume by the accounts of the rating stickers on the inside of the door, and the fact that it's been installed without being questioned by inspectors on its assembly line, that the safety belt would work just fine in the event of a crash; thus I put my faith in the safety belt that it will protect me from harm caused by deceleration.
  3. 1. Snooping as usual I see 2. I wonder what's for dinner 3. Or else you will die 4. Tomorrow I'll 5. have to give myself a Promotion!
  4. I dislike it because of how much science it declares aloud and takes seriously, when it is entirely egregious how it shouldn't work. Back to the Future has the same sort of science but it's never explained beyond the words "Jigawatt" and "Nuclear". The Core spends several minutes trying to explain its crap which do things like directly contradict the Law of Conservation of Energy, or elementary Magnetodynamics.
  5. The Core, followed by Stealth. The Core is a disaster/science fiction film, but it's more accurately described as a comedy science film. The movie takes the premise of comic book science and applies it to "What would happen if the earth's core stopped rotating?", but the problem is that the actors take that premise seriously and it dies on its ass. It is so bad and silly it makes The Day After Tommorow look like 2001. Stealth is a wretched pile of the ashes of termite dung that tries to be a cool near-future movie about fighter jets but ends up sucking because the writers did a horrible job. Picture of main aircraft in the movie, the "F/A-37 Talon". Capable of Mach 4, a range that would make the B-2 Spirit envious (more than 4000 km), a comically large weapons arsenal (held internally), CATOBAR equipped for Carrier operations, Vertical takeoff capable, AND ONLY WEIGHS 9 TONS. It's like they wanted to stuff a Stratofortress into a forklift, it just doesn't add up, and when they take facts like those seriously, I just either laugh or cry. Although there must be some coolness to the Reverse-angled forward sweeping wings, seeing as Boeing went on to patent the idea as soon as the movie was released.
  6. I'd make a graph but there's no such thing as a comprehensive source of data for the overlap between 'People who like My Little Pony', 'People who like/play Team Fortress 2' and 'People who frequent 4chan'.
  7. Why am I trying to convince myself that Pinkie Pie has a compelling argument? Why am I even thinking that's a logical matter to be debated? Why am I thinking so much about this? Why am I asking you these questions? These mysteries and more, on Ponies & You, by Professor Blue, Saturdays at 10, only on the Hub.
  8. Yeah the unfortunate thing is that while it was mostly true in the past, having a degree is not a guarantee of employment anymore.
  9. 1. Kevin Bacon 2. Tom Sellick's Moustache 3. Bill Murray 4. Steven Magnets 5. Jack Nicholson
  10. Aye. It makes me sad when a user suddenly and without warning has the fisade of being dead.
  11. Cool thing about being an employee in the Canadian Federal or Provincial government is that they will handle all debt related to schooling. 25% of all incurred expenses per year. It's like being paid twice. Words of wisdom from my Dad: humble guru and Professional Project Manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Highways.
  12. Thank you for the compliment. To be perfectly honest I was getting quite irked earlier in regards to how the 'debate' was being conducted, as I do not take any matters regarding my spiritual beliefs lightly or in any manner to be slighted, I take them with gravity and- well, I would say nobility, but the moment one calls themselves humble is the moment they silently shout they are proud. I have every interest in fulfilling questions you have regarding Christianity to the best of my given ability to answer them, but I do not want to see such information simply taken at face value and then forgotten in the recesses of the mind. Statistics for aircraft on a database are for informing a pilot, not to simply entertain some office worker to be put on wikipedia. In regards to debates in of themselves, my last post was said without much qualification: I'm all for practicing one's debate ability just as much one should practice how they should drive safely or write often if they which to convey themselves accurately and precisely (if not stylistically) however as I said, I do not take Christianity as anything "low" enough to be used in any sort of throw-away argument.
  13. Look up at ceiling
  14. 1. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II 2. Pie flavored pie 3. Frost 4. New Flyer Manufacturing Co. 5. Kevin Donovan's 2002 film The Tuxedo dammit
  15. Personally I have little patience for "practice" debates. Heartily
  16. Let's think back on games I've played most, in descending order of how much I enjoyed them. Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door: 53 hours Ace Combat 5: 55 hours Team Fortress 2: 857 hours Half-Life 2 Episode 2: 127 hours Ace Combat Zero: 56 hours Star Wars Battlefront: ~200 hours Ratchet: Deadlocked: ~78 hours Sim City 3000 Unlimited: ~200 hours Mass Effect: 97 hours Portal 2: 44 hours Probably a lot of games that I can't think of: ~who knows Garry's Mod: 193 hours Shooters I guess, but all of the games I like the most it seems, have a very well developed visual style, and not very much violence.
  17. I don't like 2Fort. Like many official maps, it's in its prime when it has between 8 and 14 players on the server, and any more or less than that ruins the experience unless you undertake unconventional or non-competitive gameplay. Any more than 16 and 2fort because a snorefest bore because even if your team is well coordinated then it becomes no give and all take, steamrolling them round after round, and if their defense is too high (like seven engineers) then it too becomes a idiotic as nothing happens, and contrariwise if your team is the one that's doing it. Worse still if it's a server essentially only consisting of Engineers.
  18. Newest episode:
  19. I concur.
  20. Maybe it'll be like Homestar Runner with Decemberween.
  21. Stop linking youtube videos, my bandwidth limit D:
  22. Everyone on this page gets a Rep because I'm bored and still have too many to spend rationally.
  23. Science Time is fun.
  24. Because any old plane can have a rainbow colored smoke trail follow it, but it would take quite the impressive rig to have lightning and thick gray clouds follow you.
