Why not? There’s a bunch of applications where that is a requirement.
The Lunar Laser Ranging experiments are a fun one, I think. Scientists shoot lasers at mirrors placed in the moon and measure the trip time of light to calculate the distance of the moon to the millimetre.
However:
Out of a pulse of 3×10E17 photons aimed at the reflector, only about 1–5 are received back on Earth, even under good conditions.
A mirror doesn’t generate its own light either, but would you try shooting a weapons grade laser into one and pointing it at one of your eye sockets?
Also the Earth would probably be pulled apart under the gravity of all those moons, which will likely solve many of the present day issues so let’s not rule that out as an option is all I’m saying.
Judging by the backlash I saw online on that butter recall because of the missing “contains milk” statement, it seems like few will miss the regulations.
In the long run, looser regulations could prove to be a Darwinian solution to most current issues.
TIL thanks
Wow how did they get this photo of a moving subject in a camera from the 30’s. I’m impressed
I can’t follow your reasoning. If companies cannot own houses, how do you propose this shell-ownership would work? Wouldn’t the owner just be free to sell the house at any time and pocket the cash for themselves?
As for tax evasion by foreigners that own real estate, I mean how is that even a problem? There’s millions of foreigners that do business in the US everyday, plus, these ones have actual immovable assets that can be seized…
Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.
Definitely then the issue lies with click to subscribe, and not with click to cancel.
If the customer is insufficiently informed of any penalties for cancelling, then he shouldn’t have been allowed to subscribe in the first place.
If we’re gonna worship some powerful entity, the sun’s it. Nothing in our neck of the cosmic woods even comes close to the power it produces.
Didn’t read the full article, but the summary conclusion that “it can’t be shut down because it’s false” is a bit worrying.
While it’s definitely the correct verdict, just on that basis, then wild misinformation ads would be OK too…
Are you a spice dealer Mr. PumpkinEscobar?
Can we please stop spreading this myth? While tasty, it’s been scientifically proven that searing and eating the roof of your mouth is a poor nutritional choice as it lacks any substantial source of carbohydrates and fibre on its own.
Make sure to always prepare a side dish.
While not as imposing as its larger AT-AT Ducker cousin (picture missing in thread, which is a shame), the AT-ST Ducker nonetheless served as a significant addition to the Imperial side of battlefields in the Galactic Civil War.
