They would probably start screeming: GUN CONTROL!!
It would be really tough to get it exactly centered enough to be a true zero-gee.
More likely, it would be a low-gravity pool, where even a poor swimmer could "porpoise". As to the remperature, the water comes from melting the ice, right? Just stop adding heat when you find it comfortable.
For the 'berg, it's a one way trip. But some of the amenities, like a nuclear reactor for making the ride comfortable, would likely be recycled back to Earth orbit a few times, depending on how many were needed System-wide.
They didn't tell me, either! I think we're both in trouble!
Basically. I just can't think of anyway to develop it, that's not
what I write anyway. So, that's why I only write short "stories".
Oooooh!
THAT sounds nice!
And thanks for the link!
A shriek is a language all to itself.
Uh oh, maybe we should hide.
*jumps behind Fedora*
Limbs or trying to exercize at obese weight to start the weight loss process without having a heart attack.
Boxers also for resistance training.
Have a good night! And this time don't drop the stone down the well in Moria! :)
My daughter would produce a thousand words of dialogue and description, and the couple would still be having cocktails. I read her stories and say, "Would you just kill somebody, already?"
I adjust them to the right hight and am merrily tapping away at the computer, all is serene until someone comes in and sits down across from me. With in a minute I get that sinking feeling as my chair slowly begins to lower me. It is very hard to project a professional and unflappable image when you are at eye level with your desk pad. I look a little like those "Kilroy was here" dudes.
So the question becomes, Should you ignore it? Or should you try to adjust your chair?
Should you attempt to adjust the chair one of the following will happen: There will be a loud screeching noise as the chair slowly rises. Or: it will be stuck and will refuse to budge as you stand half bent over and tugging futilely on the lever thing. Or: The seat will come flying up as if rocket propelled sending you sprawling forward on to the desk.
I have tried different chairs. It doesn't help. I even tried a non-adjustable chair. It had happily held guys that weighed two or three times what I do. I am sitting on it, my boss walks in and the thing collapses. I gave up. I let the chair do as it likes and never try to wrestle it into submission in public.
I have offended the chair deities and must atone. I will offer up a footstool the next time we have a bonfire.
It's the slight levitating and the eerie glow that I really like....
Odd how when it's running, the contents always look red... yet I get all sorts of things out of it...Need to be careful cleaning it, though... the blades are sharp... and it seems to have developed... a taste.....
"Sionnsar I can't figure out this irrational hatred they have for Dubya - it makes no sense."
It does, really, in a twisted sort of way. The Lefties wanted carte blanche to abort and gay-wed and tree-hug this country into non-existence. They wanted to "forgive" the terrorists and allow them access to our way of life.
Dubya is STRONG and he is MORAL and that is why they hate him so. He is a GOOD man. Evil hates Good. Good will triumph. I hope this helps a little to clear the mist.

At least it's not a Nantucket one..
Like I have said before, Good versus Evil is an open-ended war.
"Girl, i like you well enough that I EVEN gave you the worm from the tequilla bottle!"
Does that mean I get the T-shirt that says, "I ate the worm"?
Yee-HAW!!!
Interesting possibilities ... only wouldn't the g-forces kill off the obese epoplel before they get to the pool? And wouldn't gravity provide better resistance for boxers?
I think I'd love this option when I'm pregnant, though!
Good point ... maybe I should get them drunk, instead. I haven't heard any leftists in favor of alcohol control. But the gun was supposed to force them to make sense!
