what you define as a "break".

Split the spine into 2 or more pieces

Split the spine into 2 or more pieces

Not that much if you apply the force on a sharp heavy axe for a sufficiently long time.

EDIT: Aside of that, it really seems to be easy to cause a spinal fracture. seizures can already cause it, just like a drop from a few centimeters height on a hard surface.

Completely splitting the the spine takes a lot more violence though.

How much force would it take to break a human spine?

What a curious question.!!

Does someone owe you money.!!!

I have a question for our British orbinauts: how often has current Gibraltar vs Spain troubles been at news this summer?

Just curiosity, not controversial.

I read several articles in the newspapers and seen news reports. People are not talking in general about the issues raised in regards to the rocky outcrop called Gibraltar, on the streets of Britain. I suspect that we have more pressing issues at home.

Yes...they owe me a strained wrist as well.

I got this sentence stuck in my head since Monday and can't remember from where I hears/watched/read it:

"You can't win, you can only break even.
You can only break even at absolute zero.
You will never reach absolute zero."

Captain Kirk would reprogram the simulator so he could reach absolute zero.

Its the joke version of the laws of thermodynamics, although similar in meaning to the real ones.

So, what's that object?

*damn spoilers don't work*

 

[Urwumpe]

So, what's that object?

A Saturn S-IVB stage?

So, what's that object?

That?

J002E3 is the designation given to a supposed asteroid discovered by amateur astronomer Bill Yeung on September 3, 2002. Further examination revealed the object was not a rock asteroid but instead the S-IVB third stage of the Apollo 12 Saturn V rocket (serial S-IVB-507).

Had a very productive lunch today. In addition to supplying myself with nutrition, began cutting a few lengths of PVC pipe for the floor unit for my X-52 and pedals.

These weird western countries and their "pedestrian crossings"...

I often press the button, after I have crossed. It usually works alot quicker that way. :lol:

 

[Quick_Nick]

At least locally, the buttons even have to have audible feedback.
Like "WAIT" or "WALK SIGN IS ON", and the better ones tell you WHICH road is safe to cross. (kind of important at a 4-way intersection when one way is safe and the other has traffic)
That doesn't tell whether or not the button does anything. But it appears to, where applicable. (high traffic areas are going to stick to a pattern regardless)

WAIT... Pushing the button doesn't call tech support?! :shifty: So... I don't have to run as soon as I push it? THAT explains why I keep nearly getting run over...

On a serious note, I only recently discovered the spinning cone thing. Someone told me about it; I thought it was an urban myth. Clever idea.

And FF VII is now over. I see why it's a classic.
