He needs the land to lay more tracks, which is typical of a power hungry villain ... illustrating their low intelligence is when Bart, the sheriff, places a dime toll- booth in the middle of the prairie, hoping to slow them. When the army gallops to it on their way to destroy Rock Ridge, they stop and exclaim, “Somebody’s gotta go back and get a sh*t load of dimes!” No person, in an actual western, would stop; they would simply ride around the building and carry ... The foreman yells, “Dock that chink a days pay for nappin’ on the job.” The word “chink” is a derogatory name for Oriental people. Another example of the lighter side of racism occurs while the Rock Ridge citizens are trying to save their town. Bart persuades his railroad worker companions to help in return for a place to live; however, the townsfolk decline, then accept as long as no “Irishmen” ...

- ... are some considerable districts which are unique and contain geological features of several deposit types, such as the site in Bingham, Utah. The area contains stockwork veinlets and scattered ore minerals in an altered igneous rock.

- 285: Film Development
- ... So now I will explain the process which I find amazing, film developing. The Bucket Method has many advantages. The first being it's very quick, taking only about 15-20 minutes to do a roll. It's also hard to screw up, seeing as there isn't much to it. The disadvantage of the Bucket Method is that you will undoubtedly get scratches on your film, as well as these ... film fairly tight, otherwise spots will form in the areas where the film didn't dry quickly enough. Spots are ugly on the silver screen. Basically the cost difference is about the same, $7 a roll compared to $10 a roll for professional processing, but you have more fun this way. Do the math, if you shot 100 rolls of film, you would save about $300 dollars, so there you go. Also, you don’t ...

- 290: Black Holes
- ... delve into some results of this theory to understand black holes in detail, by thinking about gravity under fairly simple circumstances. Suppose that you are standing on the surface of a planet. You throw a rock straight up into the air. Assuming you don't throw it too hard, it will rise for a while, but eventually the acceleration due to the planet's gravity will make it start to fall down again. If you threw the rock hard enough, though, you could make it escape the planet's gravity entirely. It would keep on rising forever. The speed with which you need to throw the rock in order that it just barely escapes the planet's gravity is called the "escape velocity." As you would expect, the escape velocity depends on the mass of the planet: if the planet is ...
