No idea where that table comes from originally, but it is packed full or errors. It's not even worth the effort of going through them there are so many,
But they CAN be. Take the case of a child on a roundabout in a park that goes flying off, that is a case of centripetal/centrifugal forces not being equal.
That's the point. Once you leave the roundabout, you are no longer subject to centripetal force

That's the point. Once you leave the roundabout, you are no longer subject to centripetal force
But you don't leave the roundabout without the equilibrium of centripetal and centrifugal forces ending. There is a point where there is both centripetal and centrifugal forces and they are not equal.
Plus you can extend that by having uneven orbits. Eg where a kid on that roundabout loses balance but regains it and holds on, so jerks back and forth. There was both centrifugal and centripetal forces but they didn't match thus creating an uneven orbit.
Apple has not fully paid the 13 billion euros ($13.9 billion) it owes to Ireland in illegal tax benefits even though the deadline has passed, the European Union's competition said on Tuesday
With hindsight, the great missed opportunity we had in Europe was that we stuck religiously to the rules. Had we gamed the system like all the others (with the possible exception of the Germans) and particularly if we had gone after our interests in the way the French did (e.g. getting British beef banned from all markets in 1996 so they could move in, despite France having twice the rate of BSE that Britain did and not even taking basic precautions on offal or testing, allowing the contaminated meat to enter the food chain) we would all have loved Europe and ironically it would probably have worked far more efficiently all around.
Valuable lesson learned? Almost certainly not, but it's an intriguing point.
I think gold-plating (of rules) civil servants are part of Brexit.
Agreed. My father, who is ardently pro-European, was very angry with a 12 page set of animal welfare rules (I think it was on caged chickens) drafted by the Dutch, which became 7 pages for the French and a whopping 248 for the British.
That does not however excuse the many stupid things they have done without any help at all that we should simply have ignored.
Does it perhaps have something to do with our inexperience of federal systems of government so we don't fully get that the UK's job is to defend its interests, not just to use Brussels as cover for our own centralising bureaucratic tendencies?

There is a famous Irish poker player who when asked what the difference between Irish and British was he said you guys see a new rule as one to be unerringly adhered to, we Irish see a new rule as a fresh challenge to circumvent.

I got knocked out of EPT Ireland by Andy Black a few years back.
An honourable way to go! - think I read the write up
The forces only exactly balance if the object is traveling in an orbit. If the object escapes it's orbit then it is because the forces didn't exactly balance which is possible.
If the object is not in orbit then the forces are not necessarily Centripetal/Centrifugal
But they CAN be. Take the case of a child on a roundabout in a park that goes flying off, that is a case of centripetal/centrifugal forces not being equal.
One of my first daddy day outings with 2 was to the park. The 10 month old was enjoying the round about and so was the 2 year old. Both wanted to go faster, I experienced just this and I can tell you I didn't care what force it was, I was just thinking about whether I'd need to tell the wife, or could I get away with pretending she'd slipped whilst toddling.

No
The magnitude of the centrifugal force always exactly matches the magnitude of the centripetal force. If you leave the roundabout, there is no centripetal force. If you wave in and out, the magnitude of the centripetal force may vary, and the centrifugal force exactly matches it at all time, until you leave.

So the abridged table ignores that the data was for US convictions and offences only. Which neatly means that things like Iran's backing of Hezbollah, and Libya's responsibility for Lockerbie are missing, and those alone count for many hundreds of American deaths. It also only listed the numbers where deaths have occurred, not offences in total.
If you look at the apparent source you will see that citizens of Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen have all been "committed or were convicted of attempting to commit a terrorist attack on U.S. soil from 1975 through 2015".
It's also worth bearing in my that it's not historical offences that determine where the threat is coming from but the intelligence about the current threat, and the degree of cooperation the US receives in order to vet visa applications.
The "meme" that the targets of the change of rules are not a threat, and that the places that are a threat are ignored because of Trump's business interest does not stand up to scrutiny.
None of which justifies Trump's use of an executive order to change the rules overnight, that was stupid.
The presence of Quebec pulls Canada to the Left, and also forces a system of bilinguism and compromise on it to maintain its federal union. It also tried to establish reserves, or assimilate, its native peoples rather than outright conquest.
There's also a desire to differentiate itself from the US, which helps to maintain the monarchy, but also means it went fully metric fairly enthusiastically, embraces social healthcare and is less tub-thumping about its nationhood.
But, there are plenty of Canadians who are right-wing, and the Canadian Conservatives clocked almost 40% of the vote less than six years ago.
Better than Cameron did.
I think they are changing to PR for the next election, at least the Liberals promised they would. The UK Parliament will soon become one of the last bastions of FPTP (and long may that continue).
I'll believe it when I see it.
Either way: if the Liberals think it'll lock the Tories out of power in Canada for a generation (which is what they want) I think they'll be disappointed.
@TeaPainUSA: More Muslims have been killed by Trump supporters in the past 24 hours than Americans killed by refugees from banned countries in 30 years.
From a glance at the maps, it looks like support for Trump's visit is much more evenly spread around the country, whereas opposition is concentrated in certain areas:
Though it is an illusion. For example in the pro-Leave constituency of Sleaford and Hykeham there are 422 at present on the Pro-visit petition, but 2000 on the Anti-visit petition. Even in rural Lincs 5 times the number are opposed. Metropolitan elites I suppose.

Yes, a somewhat counterproductive consequence of the pro-Trump petition is that it allows local comparison with the anti-Trump petition.
The anti-Trump petition was constantly being mentioned in the mainstream media yesterday, whereas the pro-Trump petition wasn't mentioned at all. I didn't know about its existence until earlier today.

So about 0.02% of the Pro Petition comes from Sleaford and 0.001% on the Anti Petition. Compare to Hornsey and Wood Green where 0.0009% of the Pro Petition comes from but 0.006% of the Anti Petition comes from.

Will the Russians get the blame? Or the Americans? Someone will. The Russians, probably. Here is what Fillon is saying:
"To my knowledge, this has never happened before in the history of the Fifth Republic, never less than three months before a presidential election. This extremely powerful and highly professional operation has been launched with the sole goal of eliminating a candidate from the contest by undemocratic means."
"À ma connaissance, dans l'histoire de la Ve République, cette situation ne s'est jamais produite, jamais à moins de trois mois d'une élection présidentielle. Une opération d'une telle ampleur et aussi professionnelle n'a été montée que pour essayer d'éliminer un candidat autrement que par la voie démocratique."
Didn't it reach some extraordinary level prior it even being mentioned on the telly?
No, it was being talked about almost immediately simply because of the rate of signings. It's probably the best publicised petition we have ever seen in the UK. Even more than the post Brexit one, which got more signatures but slower.

Both centripetal and centrifugal force are actual things in Newtonian physics. I don't expect you or Scott actually to know anything as difficult as that, but surely you can google this stuff before making prats of yourselves?
The forces must EXACTLY balance, hence the gag...
Undergraduate degree #1 was engineering, so I think I some idea. Chance of an apology?
And mine was in Physics: if the forces balance it isn't accelerating so it isn't going round in a circle.

The forces only exactly balance if the object is traveling in an orbit. If the object escapes it's orbit then it is because the forces didn't exactly balance which is possible.
No: orbital motion is accelerating so the forces don't balance. Gravity is the centripetal force. Centifugal forces are only seen if you are in the frame of reference of the rotating (or orbiting) object.
Having said all that you missed the obvious mistake: Sean was talking metaphorically so Physics dosen't really apply, but he got the names the wrong way round.

They do balance on a radial line between the centre of the circle and the object

How can something be equal in size to something else that dosen't exist?
As you yourself noted, it's in a different frame of reference.
But at the expense of explaining the joke one more time, here's the original quote
SeanT said:
The centripetal forces within the EU are, arguably, just as strong as the centrifugal.
The centripetal and centrifugal forces are always just as strong as each other, by definition.
Da Boom, tish!
Only if it isn't getting bigger or smaller, which I think was SeanT's point. However, I also think he meant to write that the centrifugal forces (i.e. those tending to push things apart) are just as strong as the centipetal (i.e. those tending to pull it together).
I'm not sure over-analyising metaphors is any better than over-analyising jokes, now that I finished all that.

Plus you can extend that by having uneven orbits. Eg where a kid on that roundabout loses balance but regains it and holds on, so jerks back and forth. There was both centrifugal and centripetal forces but they didn't match thus creating an uneven orbit.

But at the expense of explaining the joke one more time, here's the original quote
SeanT said:
The centripetal forces within the EU are, arguably, just as strong as the centrifugal.
The centripetal and centrifugal forces are always just as strong as each other, by definition.
Da Boom, tish!
I don't suppose Lame Abed owns a bone saw?
(I'm assuming the orbit is a circle. I'm buggered if i'm doing the math for an ellipse)
Speech after speech is being made in the Chamber, here, supporting A50 through very gritted teeth.
However, I also think he meant to write that the centrifugal forces (i.e. those tending to push things apart) are just as strong as the centipetal (i.e. those tending to pull it together).
I'm not sure over-analyising metaphors is any better than over-analyising jokes, now that I finished all that.
