First of all, the pressure differential that you have as a presupposition doesn't exist in this model. The air that would be pressing down on the water, causing it to move through the pipe, would be blown out both side of the pipe. When you open the purple hatch, air would evacuate from both the right and left sides, and there would be no pressure differential.

Even if there somehow was a pressure differential, you're still losing energy from spinning the orange blades on the turbines (I'm assuming this is like a vertical hydroelectric plant).

Conservation of energy: to generate force on the propellers, the water is losing some energy, and that energy loss is directly proportional to the amount of energy generated on the turbines. If the orange rotors are frictionless, then no energy is expended by the water but no energy is generated by the turbines.

Wrote practice. You should be able to look at a page full of simple derivatives and be able to solve them in your head. In other classes, write down a random function and solve it.

Autopsy was done and ruled it a homocide...and yet no indictment....

Homicide means "death by another human". Homicide doesn't mean murder. The autopsy clearly determined that Garner wasn't the victim of a chokehold nor was there any damage to his windpipe and Garner didn't suffocate. In addition, the hold that was used is a very common, nonlethal hold that generally has zero effects after the hold is removed. It's a perfectly acceptable move, especially on someone that weighs twice the cop's weight resisting arrest.

Race had nothing to do with it.

Lethal force was not used.

Garner died from pre-existing conditions.

The question that should've been asked is whether the police responded appropriately to Garner's claims that he couldn't breathe; if a 400lb guy is on his stomach gasping that he can't breathe, I think it's reasonable to assume something wrong. In my opinion, that was negligent. But that's not what the riots are about. They're about race and murder, which are irrelevant to this case.

Start pyro, don't use the Drake sword as a crutch, beware Blighttown, and take a victory lap once you get to Anor Londo because the game is a cakewalk from there.

Is there even a plotline anymore? What happened with the aliens and Adam and Eve and all that shit?

A great philosopher and an even greater lunatic.

I've never been huge on just watching someone play a video game, but it seems like a cool feature for those that do.

It lets them file joint taxes so that less money goes to the government. Because of that, a portion goes back into the national and local economies, stimulating job growth and economic recovery. Another significant portion will be invested into banks and stocks; the banks will use this investment to invest in other money markets, increasing the money supply of the country (and subsequently the world). The final portion will go into a retirement plan that allows the couple to retire on time to open up jobs for the younger generation and ease the burden of welfare on them as well. Oh and also because it's none of your fucking business and shit doesn't need to directly benefit you to be good, even though gay marriage is demonstrably good for you and preventing it is tantamount to communism.

You're not a communist, are you?

These economic benefits you speak of seem to negligible at best. You'll have to give me something more before I can support that policy. Yes, it does have to benefit me directly.

So what you're telling me is that you're a commie?

What she did was common decency.

No, I don't think being killed for defending other people is particularly common, especially for a teenager. That's kind of the point.

People like to shit on cats without realizing that you're supposed to train cats, too. Yeah dogs are well behaved and loyal, because you spend months domesticating them. If you don't do the same thing for a cat, it's going to be a shitty cat.

Funny thing is they are banning porn to 'protect children', while they are literally raping children.

So they were literally raping children while coming up with this list? That doesn't seem very efficient.

Bisexuals.

I remember reading somewhere that bis are seen by some gays within the "community" as fence-sitters and people who can't make up their mind. I can back that up from personal experience, to a minor degree, and I can't find the source right at the moment >.>

Essentially, I'm asking if the LGBT community - to the extent that it's organised and has people who self-identify within the movement - has a chronic problem with the treatment of bisexuals.

I've found that that's only an issue if you're hanging out with the typical, white, middle-aged, upper-middle-class, drinking-a-mojito, media-face-of-the-LGBT-movement kind of gays.

But, that's just in my limited personal experience.

Hey, mojitos are delicious.

Hook a turkey up.
