No, that's only if you don't account for the universally local Hyperdimensional Resonance along all eleven dimensions. And also, be sure to account for the graviton particle density at that point in time, with time being relative to a specific frame of reference, of course.
Edit: Of course, I'm undressed. It's bedtime, after all. G'night, all.

Three nights down, one to go!
And I get to miss my family Christmas, the General and kids are still going, but my super d+%&%ead brother and his wife and obnoxious kids are going to be there.
So, work six hours or get cut down for four...
Of course, this means I have to go to the General's family on Christmas day, where I can hear about how country they are, and hear about their flags, and NASCAR.
Still worth it, even if barely, at least that's what I tell myself.

Do it and join the Dark Side. Then we can rule the world together!

I don't know what I want. I've 6 different large format bottles of English beer (2 Wychwood Hobgoblins, 4 Samuel Smith [Chocolate Stout, India Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Winter Welcome Ale]). Seeing as I leave for England 31 December, it may well be prudent to consume this supply aforehand. On the other hand, I've four open bottles of whiskey and a bottle of apple old fashioned mix I've yet to try (it's not even artificially flavored, they just use apple juice as the main source of sugar). It should probably be one or the other tonight, but I want both. I have to do my last paper, and I tend to be reasonably productive on whiskey and less so on beer, so that leans things towards the whiskey, but I also really want a beer right now. But I also want a whiskey right now. And it's a short and easy paper...
I was going to vote for the Sam Smith oatmeal stout, but it looks like I'm 6 hours and 57 minutes too late.

I suppose it could be done. It may be misleading since people are conditioned to view two same size dots as the same number rather than the same percentage but I could see the usefulness if you are trying to show distributions that include both highly and lightly populated areas.

I had one issue with the space battle over Scarif... but it's just a minor point of cinematics winning over physics. It was still amazingly good.
a) The active ship makes no attempt to move out of the way even though it's thrust would be significantly better than that of the little ship.
b) The active ship takes catastrophically more damage than the inactive one... They are literally the same class of ship the damage should have been equal.
c) They collide with the force expended by the smaller ship... Are Star Destroyers made of tin foil?! That is WAY too much damage.

Aranna,
Concerning point a, one, the two cruisers were in close proximity, since they had to defend the shield aperture. Two, the disabled cruiser would still have forward momentum. And three, The two cruiser commanders were likely not paying attention, typical Imperial overconfidence.
Concerning point b, It may be possible since Star Destroyers are wedge-shaped. Being broadsided would be similar to being cut by a knife.
Concerning point c, I concede the point. Warship hulls are much tougher than what was shown. The active ship would simply have been pushed aside.
But still, since we've thrown Newton's laws out the airlock, what's a few more instances of "rubber" physics? :)

Oh thank goodness! We got a surprise snow storm, so now I don't have to drive the family clear across town, through downtown to the party.
Driving across Madison in the snow, during rush hour, with everyone trying to get home to start Christmas vacation.
Not a torture I have any desire to be a part of.

Job contract ended today, so now I can take some time off to get all my errands out of the way before the holidays.
Taig's thing? *Late reply is late*

The Friday before Christmas shall forever be known henceforth as The Great Play Kitchen Pillage.
No big ticket item is safe from the ravenous hordes, flush with pre Christmas payday cash.
But with all the hoverboards and video game consoles already pillaged, the kitchens and drones will be the last to fall.
So it is written.

I overheard my Russian assistant chatting with some of the boys at work... She was trying to convert them to Satanic worship! What do they teach girls in Russia?! SO WRONG.
Maybe... hard to tell when I only see her in uniform. I pegged her for a good dominatrix because she LOVES doing mean things to people (like tricking Jews into eating pork) and others pain is like candy to her. She once twisted my hand (the one I hurt recently) and I caught the little smile she had as I screamed out in pain. She played it off as an accident and was sweet to me for days afterwards... but that smile... ~shivers~
Still I hope she was joking about Satanic stuff, that is dangerous.

Aranna,
Just remembered something a minute ago concerning:
c) They collide with the force expended by the smaller ship... Are Star Destroyers made of tin foil?! That is WAY too much damage.The Hammerhead Frigate appeared to have "Firewalled" its engines.
What makes you think so? The admiral only asked for a Hammerhead, and the only other thing you see about the ship is the scene where they begin shoving the bigger ship.

I remember seeing massive exhaust plumes when the frigate was pushing against the Star Destroyer. I think it was right before the inactive ship crashed into the active one. Will see the movie again later to refresh my memory, unless someone else can corroborate this. But then, I'd see it again anyway, just because. :)

yikes. None of that is good(caveat: I do not care what religion one follows).
She will no longer be considered for my left hand position once I take over your company. Aranna, you will have to be my Hand.
