The one on the left is probably bigger. That's not a photo of a great white, but an artist rendition of a megalodon.

Would it win though? I have doubts. Especially in light of the macroraptorial sperm whales like Livyatan.

Certainly not top tier. Very few make it through that kind of training, by definition. High end specops get hired by billionaires for amazing salaries. Lesser elitists have to settle for lesser qualified security: former soldiers and cops basically.

None see all. None have superpowers. None of them are immortal. All of them are outnumbered.

I want them all armed to the teeth by the thousands, then halt, turn, aim, and fire.

To him we are all nothing more than NPCs.

As a matter of fact, yes! Tacking a sail side to side allows a sailboat to sail upwind in a zig zag pattern. With a solar sail, a spacecraft can tack away from the direction of orbit, slowing down to reduce its escape velocity, and allowing the Sun's gravity to pull it closer. All using no fuel.

Veritaseum breaks down the principle. https://youtu.be/jyQwgBAaBag

I don't disagree

Solar sails negate the need for fuel.

Land the rover in the twilight, then have it drive ahead of the sunrise using solar power.

It is the most difficult planet to land upon, but a solar sail could aid in slowing down. Mercury would be excellent for mining and to deliver resources throughout the entire solar system.

Atheist. I was raised in various flavors of southern, whites protestant churches. Mostly the so-called charismatic, non-denominational, types, but also mainstream Southern Baptists, Presbyterians, etc, but not excluding some of the weirder cultish strains.

I left because I began to realize just how fucked in the head they raised me. I couldn't relate to regular people very well at all, and couldn't trust the judgement of religious people at any level. I got out and got the help I needed. I only wish I had done it sooner.

Why should we have death sentences?

Please please don't. You're setting great examples by putting them in prisons. Nobody anywhere needs American fascists getting reinforcements. It's better for everyone that they be incarcerated, banned from public office, and their wealth seized. If they can be rehabilitated, fine. Maybe. Otherwise let them rot.

Dude has charisma and is skilled at improv. He had a story of overcoming addiction and had some good things to say about social issues back then. That kind of thing sells, so lots of scumbags put it in their bios.
