On demand? Are they 3D printed, "just in time"?

15 mm ought to do it. Then we can get 100% participation in the "existing 25 million golfers apt to quit in the next few years".

There was another, in Nov. 1963.

One began immediately after April 12, 1945.

Butamax is a shell company of BP and DuPont. It is suing Gevo to prevent it from selling Butanol fuel based on an obvious patent developed at public university, partly with our tax money.

That depends. Top Gear reports when the cocks have shifted brand, I believe they've moved from BMWs to Audis just in time for me to buy one and remove all doubt. Otherwise, they seem to get rid of their cars (What's a $70k car? S-Class, A8, Jag...) about the same time all the electrical stuff takes a dump. I don't think they're worried about being current, only having the correct brand.

Holy shitballs, batman. Even on an Audi A8 the transmission lines are only four hundred bucks. They only list one part so apparently that's both of them and you buy them together.

On the other hand, the Chevy dealer wouldn't sell me door handles, they wanted to sell me door handle mechanisms. 2000 Astro, a thousand bucks in door handles. I got the handles on eBay for ten to twenty bucks a piece depending on placement. So I guess Chevy really is worse than Audi

The suspension is pretty much guaranteed to be ripe for a rebuild by or before that time, because they're still not using polyurethane bushings. That's spendy and it's no less (or more) spendy on the Leaf.

The CNC milled guns tend to have parts that go in without smithing. I'll take that over pedigree.

Japan is stable and developed and not majority white. Also has very good gun control and very few gun deaths. I must be a racist!

Russia has strict gun laws? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...

As far as Mexico is concerned the gun homicide is not independent of US. In fact lax gun laws and huge drug demand in the US coupled with extreme economic disparity is creates this gun-toting criminal network in Mexico responsible for all the killings.

Other stable and developed countries like England and Australia have unfortunately had mass shootings like the US, and result was stricted gun laws and less gun deaths. As far as sound public policy is concerned, it makes sense to keep guns out of the hands of stupid an irresponsible people.

As far as keeping the King in check, gun owners do very little for that (who did more to influence the NSA all the gun owners in Texas or Edward Snowden). Voting and involvement in the political process is a lot more valuable than irresponsible posession of dangerous firearms.

Per-home ROs are cheap as hell now. A system that was up to a grand (if you were being robbed) a decade ago is just over a hundred bucks now.

It's only a problem if you are taking too much of the plant away from the field. Growing corn isn't the problem, growing corn and carrying away the waste instead of turning it in is the problem. Corn still gets most of its carbon from the air like every other plant.

Telcos cannot function without the capability to run a telephone spying program, at least the listening-in part. And that's all they provide, besides basic records which they need for billing and for diagnostics. The federal government itself operates the facilities which actually centralize and process the data. You may (or may not) have seen some articles go by here on slashdot about massive federal data centers for use by certain three-letter agencies.

Virtually none of the carbon plants are made of comes from the soil. What most plants take from the soil is nitrogen and micronutrients. Some plants, however, actually put nitrogen into the soil. Sadly, instead of planting crops in guilds, we opted for gross machine cultivation which not only demands planting massive monocultures but which also requires using varieties bred for machine harvestability rather than optimal nutrition, flavor, or texture. It also attracts pests while failing to attract their natural counters, and in practical terms requires the use of pesticides. The pesticides kill the soil-dwelling organisms which make nitrogen "bioavailable" (packaging it in a form which the plants can use) which changes soil into dirt and basically reduces modern factory farming practices to hydroponics in a dirt medium.

Sadly, this is just as applicable to food as fuel. The only difference is that we need to eat food, but there are vastly better feedstocks for biofuel than corn.
