    Why is Sex sometimes wrong?

    in Serious Topic Discussion

    Posted

    That's incorrect BTG, as a matter of fact condoms are very effective at protecting you from the AIDS virus. They may be relatively ineffective against other STD's but they are the best defense sexually active people can use.

    And where did you pick up any of that? I got my info from several doctors, and the Red Cross's Bloodborne Pathogens class.

    Antinuclear Warheads

    i said nothing of anti uranium. Anti hydrogen would work just fine,...

     

    No it won't. Hydrogen has just 1 proton as its nucleus - can't fission that.

     

    I'm talking about splitting a single atom of antimatter the same way you would split an atom of uranium.

    ...

    if something like the Holocaust were to happen again, we would have yet another secret weapon to use.

     

    As Alphabetagamma has already explained, maximum energy you can release from a given mass is E=mc^^2

     

    You get that by annihilating matter with antimatter. If you split heavy antimatter before annihilating it, all you will achieve is to release a small portion of E when the atoms split, then release the rest of E when the bomb fragments hit the normal matter. The total energy released will still be E. You can get the same result by just dropping a pile of antimatter bricks into normal matter atmosphere.

     

    In other words, splitting antimatter atoms as a weapon against normal matter targets is like setting TNT in your artillery shells on fire before shooting them - difficult and dangerous but largely pointless.

    I like people that have a good grasp of analogous physics.

    Q & A Thread

    I'm going to answer a bunch of interesting Qs, since I haven't been on in a while...

     

    do you know how to get away with murder?

    Yes. Even a messy one with lots of incriminating evidence.

     

    what's the heaviest weight you can bench?

    Last I checked, 280 lbs. for 4 reps. (I was a freshman in highschool)

     

    What's the fastest speed you can run?

    Next to a car, 22 MPH. (I was 14 at the time)

     

    If you know of or have followed Chris Chan on the CWCki, how do you feel about his dad's death about 5 days ago?

    Never heard of any of that, so I feel nothing.

     

    Why do people keep on not asking questions, and taking this thread way off topic?

    Introduce Yourself!

    in Free-For-All

    Belated introductions, y'all. Very belated, but why not?

     

    My name is "danielsangeo". At least, my online name is. Its roots are from my original BBS username "DanielSan" which became my Geocities username and, therefore, my Geocities e-mail address. Once Yahoo took over Geocities, then dropped Geocities, I got a Yahoo e-mail address as "danielsangeo" (to reflect that I was a member of Geocities).

     

    I am 33 years old and currently living in Seattle, Washington, USA. I have brown hair, brown eyes and...oh, wait. This isn't that kind of introduction.

     

    I am known for my verbose posting on the subject of politics and religion....and, of course, my favorite video games are the Half-Life/Portal series of video games and I eagerly await the release of the Black Mesa mod (and I'm a fairly prolific poster on their forums as well). I have taken to subtitling a bunch of Freeman's Mind episodes which you can find over in the Subtitles section. It is my hope that I can subtitle the missing ones and eventually get a word from Ross on it. "That would make my day. If I do, I'm not going to be gracious about it, either. I'm going to rub people's FACES in it." Oh, wait. Sorry.

     

    So, yeah, besides that, I'm attempting to learn computer animation which the hope that, one day, I'll be able to get my work into a Hollywood movie. :D

    Why do I remember everything except that first line, from earlier, verbose?

    To watch or to not watch?

    I honestly suspect some sort of subliminal messaging involved for something this stupid to have anyone be that addicted to it, and because I'm immune I can see just how stupidly moronic it is.

    OR, there's the possibility that some people are just different than you.

     

    amazing concept, no?

    Not likely.

    What're your favourite songs?

    in Free-For-All

    Posted

    Well there can't possibly be 8418 songs that one can all like D:!!!!!

    8418? Bah! That would be my short list...

     

    Interesting that there are no mentions of any "serious" rock artists

     

    Genesis

    Jethro Tull

    King Crimson

    Yes

    Van Der Graaf Generator

    The Strawbs

    Traffic

    The Doors

    Jefferson Airplane/Starship

    Deep Purple

    Uriah Heep

    Camel

    ...

     

    I wonder if that's because noone on this board likes these bands or purely because people haven't heard them (or about them)? If that's the latter, then I'm sure that some of those who posted here might like some or all of these groups...

     

    Regards

    Only one on that list I don't recognize is the last one, Camel. All the rest are a part of my 20,000+ song list.
