That's interesting! Did pinewood derby cars change to three wheels?
They still mount four wheels, but the fasted cars float one so it doesn’t spin.
Interesting. Thanks!

Re: What is Gravity?

One of my brothers and I once built a trebuchet on a sandy beach using a middling-sized tree trunk as the throwing arm and a washtub full of rocks and wet sand as the weight. Our fulcrum was a steel crowbar—the longer and straight true crowbar rather than the shorter S-shaped wrecking bar—supported...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

You don’t understand non-believers and you never will… You seem to have a persecution complex, Res Ipsa. As I interact with you and others here I do believe I’ve come closer to understanding you.

Re: The High Spy MEGATHREAD

The angle of release is another easy change made to the launcher, but our initial targets are the minds of eight year olds, which just so happen to be in third grade. Said GPRSPs are actually much easier to build than derby cars, and certainly more resilient, even designed to bounce on impact. 2nd ...

Re: Romney on Pardoning Trump

If you wanted equality under the law, Biden should be impeached for withholding aid to Israel to not lose votes in Dearborn, Michigan. Biden's age and senility should not be an excuse to avoid prosecution for 50 years of mishandling classified documents. Hillary Clinton should have been charged for...

Re: RFM on Kamp in Court

That was a thorough and brutal order. At the hearing, the judge said he was having trouble deciding whether Kamp was genuinely confused or was lying. I guess he made up his mind after studying the documents.

Re: What is Gravity?

There is a charming quality to childhood science theories. I remember in grade school a friend and I thought we would try and make a rocket. That was long enough ago the possibility of satellites was new. We purchased sheet metal for a body and started plans for an engine. My friend ,a year older t...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Waste of time. Common sense alone would tell you which or the two of us would feel threatened by existence of non-existence of free agency. On the other hand I have to wonder which one of us would feel threatened if free will is a gift from an all wise and knowing creator (since we’re throwing hypo...

You don't even know what my opinion on the issue of free will is. Chime in then! If I’ve got you pegged wrong, by all means straighten me out. 🙂 Regards, MG Waste of time. Common sense alone would tell you which or the two of us would feel threatened by existence of non-existence of free agency.

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

Cohen looks exhausted. And what are those blue suited sycophants doing in court? They are paid public servants are they not? Shouldn't they be at work? Do they really think kissing Trump's butt is going to get them anywhere? Do they not see the destiny of the long line of sycophants who went before...
