      Sava, that's 3 posts in 5 that make no sense. Who are you talking to, and what are you saying?

              Sava: I am sorry, but if they don't do any research before they go out demonstrating, I don't think there is a point talking to them anyway.

                Azazeal, Sava and I are sniping at each other right now. He doesn't really care about the protesters, he's just trying to score some sort of imaginary points off me.

                    with one side open so that the plasma can escape. By fiddling with the magnetic containment field, ...


                    What about the shield harmonics?

                        I've worked with some of the Los Alamos scientists who did research on those isotope heat sources. They go to some real extremes to try to make sure that if the heat source ever reenters the atmosphere it will stay intact and thus not be a widespread danger.

                        The coolest part was looking at a round ball of Plutonium about the size of a shotput. It was like a hundred pounds and was glowing red hot. Pure evil baby. In a glove box, thank God.

                          I think he's gone. Ask Imran. They were buds. (Not really. Imran just defended free speech.)

                              What a waste of money!

                              If we ever want to be able to properly explore space, we need to understand fundamental science better, and that means more money should be spent on particle physics experiments.

                              Particle physics research is the only way - we will not get into proper space exploration with this sort of junk.

                                And doing a poor job at it, I might add.

                                I mean, the idea of the virulently anti-Semetic Joe and I having anything in common other than species is patently dumb - obviously Sava is totally unaware that two of my (Catholic) siblings married Jewish spouses, and that a reform Jew is my godfather.
