What do "economic freedom" and "political freedom" actually mean in the real world, rather than on the Nolan Chart? I don't think that they're the self-evident measures that some people seem to imagine.How much economic freedom can you have, without having political freedom? Or put another way how much economic freedom can you have in a country with rampant corruption.
Really? I always found that people started like that- a mixture of the disinterested façades which they hadn't quite shed from high school and a preoccupation with the received image of student life- and either got over it or fecked off to do something easier. Perhaps it's a transatlantic thing, I don't know.I just don't get why other people like changed so much over the past year even, particularly with some girls. I haven't really met many girls at my university (expected as it's about a 7:3 ratio overall, engineering classes is lower, and I'm terribly shy. my major is about 15% according to school's ethnicity data. not as bad as some majors, like computer engineering, which looks to be around 5% lol).
Basically all I overhear from girl's conversations are things about frats or sororities and parties and it really bothers me. Similarly, guys do that too. And way too many people have a mentality of "LOL failed that exam, I guess that's fine! time to go party!"
Grounding prongs are only necessary if a person could potentially come in contact with the current. Televisions have sealed plastic casing, so in normal usage there's no chance of electrocution, and thus no need for the grounding prong. (Although some such objects will have a grounding prong anyway, because they're just using a standard plug.)Why don't the plugs on television sets have grounding prongs? I don't think I've ever seen one on a TV before. It seems odd.

Yeah it was a rather vague question. It was sort of aimed at the current China thread, as in there ability to grow domestic demand, but far enough off topic I posted here.

If I made my room airtight and started pumping air into it raising the pressure how much energy would it take to double the atmospheric pressure? Roughly how many atmospheres would it take to blow my house up.
Note hypothetical question. I am not actually going to do this.
I'm thinking that doubling the amount of air would double the pressure, but I'm probably wrong.
If the only factor that can vary is the actual amount of air, then yes, it seems it would require twice the air to get twice the pressure.Doubling the air pressure means doubling the force per unit area of the room, not doubling the moles of air in the room.

Is Tom Cruise considered a good actor or just a (maybe formerly) popular actor?
