If it weren't true you would be experiencing a net acceleration due to the imbalance in the forces acting on you.

What's really interesting is figuring out WHY mechanistically it's true. I had to rethink the whole thing this morning, because it really is pretty nuts how much weaker gravity is than the electrostatic force.

Physics teacher: "The electrical force that repels the bottom of your foot from the surface of the earth is greater than the gravitational attraction between the entire earth and yourself".

Me: 😲

Edit: I guess it's more correct to say "equal to", rather than "greater" since you're static.

Oh wow, I like this. Good insight.

Haha, yes only Russia and Iran are doing this. Good guys wouldn't behave like this...Israel definitely isn't doing the same thing to Gaza.. Was propaganda always this lazy or is this a new development?

Doesn't sound like they're the ones crying...

Here is a wiki source (insert error bars here) discussion of his stance on his work being officially licensed. He thought that use of his work outside of a comic strip would cheapen the value of the strip itself. This was frusterating as a child (who wouldn't want a fucking Hobbes plushy) but now later I can see that it was at the very least a very defensible choice. Compare how people feel about C&H vs something that was commercialized to death like Garfield. Anyway, hope it's useful.

Is this not the shit that American cops use on American civilians like...all the time? Genuine question, would like to know if I'm wrong about that.

The word rape doesn't show up in that entire article. Must be some kind of mistake. I wonder why that would happen?
