What if the center were spinning and the released explosion was only allowed from a hole? This would make a single plane.

Yes, they got a break on their tax bill.

Is it possible they were originally lowballed to give them a break on their tax bill?

A fifty percent jump should make anyone notice.

So, in the end, the couple is happier to pay more taxes because appraised value is usually used as the basis for the tax bill. Right?

Just an artistic take on this, how about a scene depicting God at the drafting table crinkling up and ripping a design with a bunch of other wadded up designs on the floor.

Is there any more proof needed that science.com can't be taken seriously with these headlines and articles saying "forbidden" and "should not exist"? Tabloid trash.

On real old antique lights, the wires will be cloth wrapped. Here is the way to tell "hot" vs. "return". Rewire the lamp and keep note of what wire you connect. The honest answer is to rewire the lamp for safety reasons.

Back then, kids had better sense of what could harm them. Including the yardstick.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in How come space probes generally take photos of moons or asteroids from several hundred (or thousands) of kilometers away from the object they orbit? by Different_Muscle_116
The closer to the object you are orbiting, the faster you need to go to stay in orbit. The faster you move, the more of an issue image blur is. Distant objects don't get much light. That means camera shutters need to stay open longer times, which also adds to blur. Yes, you would get better detail but it becomes useless because all the pixels are blurred.

No citation, just a guess that the "fossil fuel" started off as trees that were eventually buried and crushed.

Not if you put them underground and compress them to take up less room.

How did it just appear there? I would think you would have had 20 or 30 seconds prior to see it going through your FOV.

First off, this is coming from the exec branch; legislation should only come from Congress. Second, this is only adding "paperwork" to the burden off business; there is no value added. Third, the data will most certainly be misused for punitive reasons regardless of truth or good intent.

Unless the spin rate was so fast that the spiral would be indistinguishable at our distance.
