How much does a decent semi-automatic hang gun cost?

I'm getting tired of arguing with people who cannot understand even the most basic laws of physics. How can I expect to have in depth conversations with these people when they're still hung up on the fundamental basics?

This would make absolutely no difference in the amount of energy transferred to the target. As long as the bullet does not pass right through you, you are absorbing all of its energy regardless of whether it's hitting a bulletproof vest or if it's hitting flesh and bone. In either case, your...

I see the mistakes that you are making, and these are basic mistakes relating to the law of conservation of energy. You are arguing about 6 or a half dozen... when in fact it's the same thing that has been converted. Why do you think that the energy of a very light 160 grain bullet travelling...

Airplane wings on bottom vs on top of airplane...Difference?

Yeah, I've heard of that happening... you had enough lift to get off the runway due to the ground effect helping you out, but you didn't have enough lift without the ground effect to climb any higher. So you weren't able to rise out of ground effect because you didn't have enough speed. That's...

Yeah, that would make more sense. I would imagine that it would be pretty scary, depending on that lift at low speeds, and all of a sudden you start losing lift near the runway. I wonder how many planes have ruined their landing gear due to that?

Here is another link explaining that higher temperatures decrease lift. Warmer runway= less lift. It would decrease ground effect, not increase it, since the air is less dense.linky

But warm air is less dense and creates less lift than cool air. So you're have less lift over on a hot runway. This is called "density altitude". If it is very hot, your takeoff run will have to be longer. You will not float on a "bubble of warm air", since that "bubble" would create less lift...

Why would ground effect be any different in Florida than anywhere else?

It has nothing to do with looks. They do it for design reasons.

HOLY SH!T!! Some dude got electrocuted at Snoop Dogg's concert in Charlotte, NC

No, he's right. The term "electrocute" denotes death. If they didn't die, they weren't electrocuted- they were just shocked. dictionary term

$100M lawsuit filed in R.I. nightclub fire, suit names beer companies

This country is going down the tubes, and I blame lawyers. Whenever something bad happens, everyone wants to sue everyone else hoping to hit the jackpot.

I am giving up Atkins

My caloric intake was actually higher on the Atkins diet. Fat contains more calories than carbs, and I was eating a lot of fat. I think a more accurate term would be "calories absorbed", since much of the fat you eat passes right through you. Same with whole grains, and corn. You eat it, but...
