Non rocket methods, however, are mostly: 1) Get thing going fast while you hold it 2) Release it (YEET) The release part is what constitutes the yeet, since no additional effort is made by the machine. The rocket not only stays attached throughout most of the journey, but may also push it more than once, thus not being a true yeet. Ah, ok. Are there any non rocket methods that aren't yeeting?

Free speech is a thing, and whether you like something or not does not warrant any sort of physical punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every evening a man returns home from work, sits down on the bed, takes off one by one the boots, and throws them at the opposite wall: "BANG!.. BANG!.." Once he has thrown the first boot: "BANG!..", takes the second one, but starts thinking: "What a bad guy I am! The neighbor is probably sleeping, and I'm waking him up." He accurately puts the boot on the floor, lies down on the bed, and starts sleeping. Five minutes later he hears: "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Hey, you! Where is the second?! How long should I wait?!" Edited April 20, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally he bangs on the door only to discover that the guy has a peg leg... maybe it was a Mad Magazine cartoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shpaget Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 At least on this forum I'd expect people to know that you can't just throw something into orbit. At least not without getting smacked in the back of your head, which would significantly degrade the orbital parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're free to continue, as I'm not imposing anything that would prevent you from speaking. I would, however, enjoy it if you would stop grasping for arguments - but in no way am I going to force you to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shpaget Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 That idea could be heading towards sky high net income at box office. Not sure where the robots would fit in, but I suppose the shiny hands of Patrick could be featured prominently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Game of Thrones, (Caution: not a spoiler right now but may become it in future) Spoiler (just in case) Spoiler Only Sansa is at her place. Probably, "it's her place", and she will be the last survivor. (It's a pity, I dislike her very much) P.S. Poor Miranda. And of course, Rosie. This cruel, cruel world.

kerbiloid Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Why are the SW Star Destroyers white? Obviously their reactors produce much more waste heat than they can get from the sunlight.

They can use music, translate the Flight of the Valkyries Imperial March right from the orbit. Everybody thinks that there can be no sound in vacuum, but - bang! - the music from space.
