- Comment on USA President term limits 2 days ago:
I think it’s technically written as 10 years. If a vice president replaced the president, he could serve 2 more terms as long as he only replaced the president for 2 years. If he served out more than 2 years, he could only be president for 1 additional term.

Not really a secret, it’s yet another military base. Probably used for enhanced interrogation™ during the Eternity War.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 1 month ago:
The system starts out as a big cloud of debris orbiting a central point. Each particle is orbiting in its own way, there isn’t any organization. Since there is no organization, most of these particles are going to bump into each other. This changes the speed and direction of the particles, some of them will clump together and most of them ending up gathered at the center of gravity of the entire system. This eventually gets large enough to become your star.
As the remaining particles become clumped together into larger items they will begin exerting gravitational pull on other objects. One plane of orbit will become dominant, and the remaining clumps will gradually settle down into their orbits, in the same general plane, in the same direction. Those that don’t will have their orbital speed reduced enough that the object ends up gathered into the center.

The only reason Tom Petty was in the Wilburys was that George Harrison left his guitar in Petty’s studio, and had to go get it. He brought Petty back with him.
I’m going to say “What is Tom Petty’s studio?”

- Comment on Ceilings and joists 2 months ago:
You want to fill the area above that wall, just between the floor joists? I’m not sure the faced fiberglass is worth the trouble. Are you trying to mitigate noise? What’s that wall made out of, and how thick is it?
The welding blanket is a great idea. But, fiberglass, can you cut it without shedding fibers everywhere?
Avoid ANYTHING that will burn. You’ll violate your new code compliance. You can get fiberglass insulation panels with a foil backing. These can be cut to size with a utility knife. Some good tape should hold it in place.
Do a search for “basement fire barrier” and you’ll find other ideas.

Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?

That is some masterful forced-perspective. The table looks absolutely massive, and I didn’t believe it was 43cm tall until I saw the other picture.
- Comment on Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage 3 months ago:
The election cycle is only 4 years long? It was forgotten by then.
Reagan won so many states because Mondale was extremely unpopular. He was Carter’s VP, and Carter had been successfully painted as our weakest president by Republicans. Mondale also gave a speech where he said he would raise taxes.

- Comment on Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer? 4 months ago:
If you pull air from the basement, it’s going to get replaced with warmer, wetter air from upstairs. As it cools the air is going to deposit that water on the coolest surfaces. You might be trading this problem for another, more damaging one.
