My lack of motivation is compounded by the fact that I really don't have much to do. It's hard to motivate to do nothing.
Yeah, I kind of have that too -- except I should be making up new things to do!
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

As should I. I just don't know what.

I'm listening to the MSNBC Countdown podcast. They are talking about the danger of space junk and they are bring up force equals mass times acceleration. Dude No! The space junk isn't accelerating, it's at constant velocity and the danger is kinetic energy equals mass time velocity squared and it's the velocity squared part that makes it dangerous. Aaaaaagh, it hurts!

lisah, maybe you could crush it and put it in something like the baby food?
Well, the anti-bio doesn't really crush well. He'd taken it whole in baby food for 3 doses and then ate around it this morning. I tried crushing it and he still turned his nose up at it. It's pretty bitter I think.
Are you boarding hi, lisah? If so, could they give it to him in an IV?
I may have to end up doing that which I really didn't want to. It stresses him out. They could give me the meds in injectible form but I guess it could cause problems? And I'm not sure how comfortable my pettsitter would be giving them to him. They could also do a liquid formulation but, really, it's hard getting anything in his mouth he doesn't want there. I'm not sure that squirting a liquid in would work and not be a complete mess. I'm going to try it in cream cheese tonight and see if that fools him.

Yeah. Duh.

Okay, technically it is accelerating due to the force of the Earth's gravitational field. I hadn't thought that through, but that's a directional change in velocity not a change in speed. It's still the kinetic energy they should be talking about.

Well, technically, since it's traveling in a circle, it's undergoing acceleration. Space junk has a constant speed, not constant velocity, because speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Space junk has a constant speed
Well, unless it's in an elliptical orbit....
