I'd love to have a "boring" car like. I detest long drives. I could never handle a 20-hour drive in a normal car, without splitting it up among several days. If I could just sit back and watch movies, or play video games, or sleep, or whatever while the car did the driving for me, that would be the most amazing thing ever.
More Doctor fail. Cybermen are not robots either. They are cyborgs controlled by a human brain. Daleks are creatures that look like a cross between a squid and a brain in what basically amounts to a futuristic tank.
Dehydrated water. Just add water! I actually can't take credit for that, I got it from the "survival kit" from the first Space Quest game which included a can of dehydrated water with those instructions.. But it's still funny.
The real news (once you get past the "radiation free" hype that is basically a lie, is that the lettuce contains MUCH lower than normal levels of potassium, making it an alternative for people with kidney issues (or any other disease really) that makes them sensitive to potassium. A VERY niche market to be sure.
But the point is, the lettuce is not "radiation free". It has carbon in it, therefore it has carbon-14 in it.
Apparently, the REAL story (once you get by the "radiation free" hype and get to the real story) is that the lettuce has much lower levels of potassium than normal lettuce. This, of course, does not make it "radiation free" by any means, since naturally occuring radioisotopes of both potassium and carbon will be present in it to a measurable degree...but, the much lower levels of potassium make it an alternative for people with kidney issues that make them sensitive to potassium.
Nothing in existence is "radiation free". There is no such thing. There are MANY MANY MANY naturally occuring radioisotopes. A major one is Carbon-14, which ALL organic materials contain to some degree. I can't determine if the people making this "radiation free" lettuce are either very stupid, or very smart and cleverly marketing to stupid people.
At the time the Hanford tank farms were built, they knew the stuff was incredibly dangerous. But they didn't know what to do with it. They designed the tanks to last for 20 years, and their words were "in 20 years they will figure out what to do with it". There was no planning at all. And I still have no idea what they are realistically going to do with this stuff. The only way to truly clean up a place like Hanford is if the Enterprise decides to park in orbit and beam it all into space.
Well, the issue here is, the waste we are talking about at Hanford was not generated by nuclear power. It was generated by this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... process (and older ones that generated more waste of a different type) in order to extract weapons-grade plutonium for use in making bombs. Spent fuel rods from nuclear power are not very difficult to deal with. But Hanford didn't generate spent fuel rods, because it was not a power facility. This waste we are looking at is waste from making bombs, not from nuclear power.
The waste at Hanford isn't waste from nuclear reactors anyway. It is waste from the process used to extract weapons-grade plutonium for use in making bombs. This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... will give an idea of the chemicals involved (note: a lot of them are toxic organic compounds). Although it should be noted, that this process wasn't developed until Hanford had been in operation for some time. Prior to that a different process that generated MUCH more hazardous waste was used. And of course, today the stuff in the tanks has been pumped around and mixed so much that they really don't even know what a lot of it is composed of anymore.
This is a great point. I do not have a Blu-ray player of kind. I have a Blu-ray *burner* in my computer. I use the BD-ROM format extensively for both backups and for sending things like game patches to a friend who can't download anything due to a ridiculously small internet cap. Being able to put 50GB on a (relatively) cheap disk is a big plus. But I have NO plans to ever buy movies in that format. I still have my entire movie/TV series collection on DVD, and I do not see that changing anytime in the near future. Actually playing Blu-ray movies is nearly impossible. They have unskippable advertisements, annoying warnings, and horrible menus and generally don't even let you watch what you want to watch without jumping through hoops. You are basically *required* to break the protection and rip them before they are watchable.
While I happen to agree about beer (it tastes like rancid demon urine), I've had things that were cooked with beer (beer battered fish, beef cooked with beer, etc), and I've found them to be very good. They don't taste like beer at all.
