Topic: Too Cool not to post

Eh, its just giving them attention and giving justification to the protest.. not cool in the least

Totally disagree. No one is going to shut me up from ridiculing the hateful and the ridiculous because I'm giving my opponent attention. Sometimes a harsh spotlight is excatly what a bunch of loons need for them to break and scatter like cockroaches.

CPA Australia's giant leap - Neil Armstrong agrees to interview with... accountant? | Space, Military and Medicine | Herald Sun

IT took him 30 years to agree to a television interview.

And since then, you could count his meaningful appearances on half a hand.

The people who scored the interview say it's possible he'll never be interviewed again.

So how did an Australian company get to shoot the breeze in a 40-minute one-on-one with one of the most in-demand, yet seldom heard heroes of modern history, Neil Armstrong?

And not just any company - accounting body CPA Australia.

The first in the four-part series - Space Race - went to air online today at The Bottom Line, hosted by evoTV.

It's introduced by CPA Australia CEO Alex Malley, who explains that "he knew something that a lot of people didn't know about Neil Armstrong".

"His dad was an auditor."

Link to the interview at the link. I haven't watched it yet but according to the article they discuss the moon hoaxers.

I think that pointing and laughing is the must fun way. I've always wanted to do that to neo-nazis for some reason...

I always wonder about these folks. Are they there to save us? Do they really think we haven't heard of hell? Or are they relishing the idea of us burning?

Induction heating.  The loop in the coil is what keeps the sample suspended* until it melts.  Does anyone know why liquid metals aren't magnetic?  Is it because the electrons need the latice structure in order to do their magnety thing, or something?


*because the magnetic field depends on the direction of the electric current, so they have a point where the current has switched direction, making a sort of magnetic "pocket" for the sample to sit in.

Another good one!

Are there any of those types of games where the general direction of the game is left?

Yeah, pretty much. Liquid molecules and atoms move about to much and cannot easily maintain a magnetic orientation.  There are ferrofluids but these are colloidal liquids with ferromagnetic nanoparticles.

Most there are bidirectional, some of them switch between left or right. But I didn't recognize a game that moved left all of the time.

I can't recall a single game that requires the player to move left. Very few of those games have any stages where moving left is the goal, even when allowed left movement is back-tracking. Metroid would be the most obvious exception that springs to mind.
