One of my favorite fun facts: "Balance of Terror" was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.

My understanding is that the Senate Rules committee is lower profile than House Rules because nearly every procedural question in the Senate is settled by unanimous consent.

In the House, the Rules committee decides the floor debate time limits and which amendments are in order on every major legislation. (They do this by passing custom rules for each individual bill).

It's possible things have changed, or they're planning some kind of major shift in the normal procedure.

It's actually because the thing that makes you make those faces is the acceleration, not the speed.

All three reference frames shown are accelerated, non inertial frames. But the first two have "fictitious" centrifugal accelerations somewhere around 0.5-2.5 g. The third frame has a detectable centrifugal acceleration, but it's like 0.003 g or something, and can be lumped in with gravity for many types of problems.

Surely, bankruptcy courts must be familiar with the tactic of "using shell companies to buy your own stuff back at bankruptcy auction for pennies on the dollar."
