Yes! Palm trees, my sworn enemies...not really but I don't really like that people plant palm trees to the detriment of trees with big fronds just because they like the way they look. Its not just planting trees, the trees need to block sunlight to the ground around it. This should prevent the creation of heat islands (areas of ground that reach high temperatures and thus prevent cold air from coming down there because hot air rises).

I agree, a solution integrating native trees to the area is the way.

Problem is that trees take way too long to grow to a desirable height. I wonder if geneticists and botanists have ever designed a tree that would reach its maximum height in less than 10 years.

I was going to ask if they were the disturbing, fucking out farts type of letters...then I remembered T.S. Elliot was not James Joyce.

Toyoda was a legit samurai family name...unfortunately, the Toyodas that established Toyota were not descended from samurai.

Ok, so what is your proposal? Cities are already built. Do you want to unbuild them? Who'll pay for the relocations of millions of people and businesses while you rebuild?

Also...when your ENT gives you instructions for pain meds...you better follow those instructions to the damned letter. If you have to wake up at 3 AM to take pills and then fall asleep again, you better do it. As long as the pain cycle is kept at bay, you'll be ok.

I wanted to be tough so I thought: fuck it, I'll take them first thing in the morning...I...woke at 11 AM the next day. Let me tell you, the discomfort when I tried to drink water felt like I was trying to drink shredded obsidian glass. It only got worse. At times I felt like a Japanese Giant Hornet was lovingly sexing up my throat. Recovery was estimated for two weeks, sooooo you'll need to eat. Try drinking lukewarm soup. BLAND lukewarm soup because if you salt it, it will feel like you gave your Japanese Giant Hornet Viagra. I'm a problematic sleeper and any discomfort fucks with my ability to fall asleep so that delayed the recovery too.

Is that package where the fuel pellet is held what is called a hohlraum?

When he used to referee, you know the players had to play clean because this dude is super strict. I remember he issued more than 2 red cards in a game.

You could never accelerate any object that has a mass to the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, the object's kinetic energy starts increasing, that energy has a mass equivalence and as we know the more massive an object is, the more it resists acceleration. Therefore the more energy you invest into accelerating the object, its relativistic mass (energy) grows infinitely. It would require infinite energy to push it into lightspeed.
