Fake news, that's not what he said nor is it the correct context.
"can they call that treason? Yeah, why not?"

Regarding unemployment rates for black and Latino people? Lack of enthusiasm by Democrats when he made this claim was what triggered his claim of treason (as if it were something due to his actions). He's half right. But really can you point to anything that Trump did to affect these people's unemployment? It's all due to Obama's economy. In another year or so, Trump can honestly take credit for the good or bad. Not that any honesty is needed for Trump to take credit for the good and shift credit away for the bad.

We are seeing what financial markets think of Trump's economy. Not a good outlook, it would seem.

so let me get this straight.....Mars is getting a tesla before me!?....wtf?o_O
Well if you do get one, I know of a little perk for you. My dad went all solar a few years back and put more panels on his roof than he needed to offset his bill. In fact, his meter runs backwards and no SDG&E does not pay him. So in order to prevent what he sees as theft by the energy monopoly, he installed a charger in his garage and charges electric cars for free. I'm sure he'd appreciate a toke though. So if you're ever going to be in Imperial Beach, he's a pretty cool guy and I can put you in touch.

sweet...thank you. I love IB, I used to catch the 1/2 day fishing boat to the Coronado islands from the IB Pier....do they still have a pier?

Yeah but as far as I know no boats ever tie up there. The boats to the Islands have to have permits from the municipal gov't in Tijuana but I did do some diving there not long ago actually. A friend of mine makes concrete monuments shaped like big wiffle balls with cremated human remains mixed in and we placed 32 of them there. I think they do still have the fishing boats, just not from the pier. They can go from the bay but they have to get the permits in Tijuana first.

it was some great fishing back in the day. You could catch nice fish from the IB pier too..yellowtail, halibut, bonito, bass, ect

Cremated? A waste of food IMHO. Maceration would be better.

A lot of people still fish there but I wouldn't eat anything caught there. It's been polluted really badly for a while and there are always warnings.

But it's not a vacuum

A flea is close to a hound
A "vacuum" is considered any place with less than Earth's minimum atmospheric pressure.

A true vacuum doesn't exist anywhere in the universe, but with only a few hydrogen atoms per m^2 (I previously wrote m/s^2, apologies for the typo, I've been writing mods for a game that speed is measured in m/s) there is no atmospheric pressure at all.

You should write a paper and try get it peer reviewed and published, you can tell all the physicists they've been wrong all this time.

Is this just semantics and nitpicking or does the extremely low mass in space have some conductive capacity for heat and other types of energy?

@SneekyNinja feel free to answer also.

I generally don't know much about space but I am very familiar with the physics of pressure and displacement, it's actually something I teach in some diving courses.

Heat dispersal in a vacuum can only occur by radiation, not convection, due to a lack of matter (in reality a few hydrogen atoms per m/s can't conduct shit).

There's so little matter in a vacuum you've to go into quantum superpositions to even "determine the location" of the matter.
