I live in Brazil and sometimes I walk to the market.
Some upper end markets here give you a paper bag with handles, like this one:

I prefer those to plastic ones. They easily handle 10kg(about 25 lbs, for americans), where the plastic ones barely get 2kg(5 lbs) without punctures. Also they are very sturdy, and survive minor rain.
With two of those paper bags I can take the equivalent of ten or more plastic bags, and they don't hurt my fingers like the plastic ones do.

FUCK THAT! We are going five blades! I tell you what, we will go straight to a 1 PeV collider, and we will build it on the moon!
They told me to go just to 100 TeV, but I said no to those. We are going five blades!

How is this news for nerds?

And I have yet to understand why pizzas are delivered in the US using cars, instead of motorcycles or bikes like the rest of the world.

They could make the car reach timewarp speed at 77 and nothing would change, but no, they chose 88 to be less practical.

The exchange rate on the EUR/USD variates also, but you can calculate profits in euro holdings if you wish. The mining is irrelevant: you are doing some work,using some electricity and get paid in return. There is nothing new in this.

Fox News does that already.

So, it has come to this.

I have a 200mW green laser. It is strong enough to be seen on a clear night, up to some 10km away.
If I use it during rain or fog it is seem as a very strong light cylinder.
