StarMountainKid Posted September 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Up is relative to body position, so I suppose for an astronaut in space there is still up and down. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Until Big Mirk's disappearing act, those questions were meant to be answered. Here, it's optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted September 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Should the act of wanting to become President/Prime Minster/Dear Leader, and rule over all of one's fellow citizens, automatically disqualify one from office as proof of towering megalomania and as probably a danger to the public? 5 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a look at what those steps all mean: Cleaving or sawing – Cleaving is the separation of a piece of diamond rough into separate pieces, to be finished as separate gems. Sawing is the use of a diamond saw or laser to cut the diamond rough into separate pieces. Bruting - the process whereby two diamonds are set onto spinning axles turning in opposite directions, which are then set to grind against each other to shape each diamond into a round shape. This can also be known as girdling. Polishing - the name given to process whereby the facets are cut onto the diamond and final polishing is performed. This step gives the diamond its brilliant sparkle that we know so well. Final inspection – the final stage of diamond cutting involves thoroughly cleaning the diamond in acids, and examining the diamond to see whether it meets the quality standards of the manufacturer. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
