    If there is no air resistance then you would keep accelerating to infinite velocity.

     

    The velocity of a massive object cannot exceed the speed of light, as put forth by A. Einstein in his special theory of relativity. Light itself cannot have infinite velocity.

    What makes Castle Bravo interesting, for me, is that it ran away beyond their expectations. They had incorrectly measured the neutron cross section of Lithium-7, which led to the in situ creation of additional tritium and an increased neutron flux. BOOM!!!

    I am going to get a gun so I can get myself out of speeding tickets. Right YellowLAAAAAABEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?????????

     

    Ever watch that "Alaska State Troopers" (a.k.a. "Most Fucked Up State In America") show? Your logic put to work. Cops don't like people with guns. They scare them.

    In your effed up train of "logic", getting rid of all guns will make all the violence in the world go away.

     

    Wrong. Getting rid of guns will get rid of gun violence.

     

    Your other examples are also invalid in this discussion. The US is not going through a crisis in terrorist bombings or knife attack massacres. The US is going through a crisis in gun violence. The only solution is to restrict access to guns.

    Yes, because he probably couldn't have got on the bus and stabbed the guy to death and then still been holed up in his underground bunker with the kid.

     

    He didn't use a knife. He murdered the guy, in front of a bus full of kids, with a gun. Isn't that awesome, gun guy?

     

    Your logical fallacy is: gun = any other weapon. "This deranged lunatic would have simply used [any other weapon] if he didn't have a gun." But he had a gun. Your logic is flawed.

    Hey, how 'bout that guy in Alabama that shot and killed a school bus driver in front of a busload of kids then kidnapped a kid with disabilities and is now holed up in an underground apocalypse shelter? Pretty cool that the Second Amendment gives this fuckhead lunatic the right to bear arms, huh?

    And I bet you thought Twight was dead.....

    Wasn't it Washington climbers that were using a winch on the E. Face of Everest? Style setting standard there...

    AT Suggestions?

    Hi There!

     

    I am looking for suggestions for an "AT Starter Kit" to replace the system I'm using now, which consists of Silvretta Carbon bindings on a shitty pair of Elans, my Scarpa climbing boots, and a home-crafted upper-calf strap system that connects to near the tips of my skis.

     

    I want to use the bindings on a more modern pair of skis and get a pair of AT boots. Something good for approaches, in the woods, boots that climb moderately well, and will ski reasonably well with a moderate pack. Weight, of course, should approach zero.

     

    There are so many options out there it is bewildering. What works for you?
