Is this capture and redirect asteroids thing from NASA as stupid as it sounds?
Capture and use of asteroids has been one of the ways to get "short term" riches out of our solar system that have been discussed for decades. Lots of mineralz in there, and not that expensive to send them down once the asteroid is captured.
I guess the latest mission is a child of that dream and keeping an asteroid we want to study close to us is more convenient than having to send a long range probe whenever we have a new test to make.
I don't really see the justification for manned missions outside of equipment testing though. Astronauts to study the asteroid sound more like a pretext to check their ship.

not sure where you got that, but the actual sticker reads:
"Made in Germany, accepted and supported by the USA because their was a greater Evil next door."

And the actual sticker is huge, because to get that descriptive in German is a feat, and done in a single word, as we all well know.

When you lock a door, is it safer to left the key in the lock or remove it?
|
Depends on what you mean with "safer". Keeping the key in the door means that you will never get into a situation where you lost the key and cannot open the door, so it is safer in that regard.
I see now way in which keeping the key inside the lock would make it harder for someone to pick the lock, but there are some tricks that involve knocking a key that someone left in a lock out of it, and pulling it through the slit below the door. Obviously depends on the lock and the door if this works.
Leaving the key in the door also takes away one of the main advantages a lock has over just having a bar in front of the door. Namely that you can walk away and take the way to open that door with you, meaning only you and people who also have the key can open the door, but those can do so whenever they want. If you leave the key in the lock, you might as well have a bar keeping the door shut, like some sort of dark ages barbarian.

Durp. Wasn't thinking since those haven't been code for residences in the US since the 90's. The whole being locked in during a fire thing.
|
I think he is talking about an ordinary profile double cylinder lock (no knob) where the key on the inside prevents the lock on the outside from turning. which should make it indeed very difficult to pick that lock as even the right key does not open it.
|
but most doors arent picked anyway, but just broken out/open (either on the lock side, or the side of the mortice lock with the box keep)
|
So the bottom line is, a door is a very short term deterrent to the dedicated, entering individual regardless of the presence of a key.

thats a very missleading unrealistic bottom line
german police research shows that if the individual does not gain entrance in the first 2-5 minutes he usually drops his attempt, (in fear of getting cought), so delaying in itself is usually good enough.
but proper door and frame reinforcing is almost always the better point to start though.

Is it normal to be mad about winning money? I won 750$ on the Mayweather fight but am pissed off because my financial adviser talked me out of putting more money on the fight. I could have won so much more money so I am super angry!
