Depends on how big the target was. The British had the mad minute drill that sounds similar:

>The exercise formally known as "Practice number 22, Rapid Fire, The Musketry Regulations, Part I, 1909", required the rifleman to fire 15 rounds at a "Second Class Figure" target at 300 yd (270 m). The practice was described as; "Lying. Rifle to be loaded and 4 rounds in the magazine before the target appears. Loading to be from the pouch or bandolier by 5 rounds afterwards. One minute allowed".

Don't focus on lithium so much. There are other options in the making, Sodium for instance or Iron-Air. At the moment Lithium is just too cheap for high effort.

Solar is cheap and is getting cheaper. Worst case we can store as heat and use a turbine to generate electricity at ~60% efficiency.

I don't think this is about them becoming a protected class. This is about retaliation being illegal, especially a blanket ban this wide. At least after they bought a ticket. I imagine the discussion would be different if they didn't sell a ticket in the first place.

The sale of a ticket is a contract and one should expect that the contract will not be broken without good reason.

Different tissue types do cell division with different rates. As mutations are mostly errors while copying during division the fast ones have a higher likelihood.

Some tissue types may have more contact with carcinogens. Your skin is basically the only tissue to get contact with UV light for instance.

Some kinds of cancer may have multiple possible mutations to cause them and some may need multiple specific ones, influencing their likelihood.

Of cause there are also cancers linked to certain virus infections.

My guess is that the current Scotus would say that the federal government hasn't any jurisdiction over labor relations because it's not explicitly in the constitution and declares nlra unconstitutional. For that they would have to reverse NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. but that didn't stop them before.

California and the other blue states will have replacement laws in place the moment the decision comes down and the red states continue their way back into the 1800s.

Ok, little explanation.

In fusion research Q defines the power factor, how much energy the fusion reaction produces Vs how much you put in. At Q=1 you have break even but to be useful for power generation you have to get to more like Q=10. ITER is supposed to reach that.

Because lasers are just that inefficient people working with them like to redefine Q to not the input of the lasers but to the input of the fuel pallet. There is so least a factor 4 more likely at least 10 between that.
