Do you have any idea what possessed them to do something that incredibly stupid?
Is there any doubt that someone led them on? And once they discovered the magnitude of their idiocy, they had no choice but to ride it out lest they reveal how easily led they are?
Most here are science types, and realize there is only one thing that can be done with it. Burn it up.
That'd be fine, but we're not talking about doing that in this country yet. That's the only kind of nuclear power I would promote. Show me an effort to fix that in the USA and I'll get behind it. Also, there is still some waste left over from that. I'm going to have to see some evidence that we'll handle that responsibly. So far, nope.
Oh yes... I think these were the same people who said, "we will put catalytic converters on cars. it will cost more, but they will convert the noxious fumes into harmless water and carbon dioxide."
Yes. They add a couple of hundred dollars to the price of the average car and they make the world a better place; unburned hydrocarbons are the most foul emission which automobiles make. You might also be interested in knowing that we averted the ozone depletion crisis by banning CFCs. Meanwhile, the O2 sensor that came along with those catalysts actually lets you make more power while burning less fuel.
And yet, to date, nuclear power has done less damage to the environment, as well as killing fewer people (by several orders of magnitude) than just coal mining, much less coal power in general.
Give it time. It's got thousands of years, even if we stop using it today.
The user is slowing down and doing it right when you're there. When you're elsewhere, they do it fast and they do it wrong. Tell them to slow down, close the case
That doesn't mean the ol' Musketeer won't experience some setbacks on his path to Mars.
I just threw up on my keyboard. Thanks Elon!
You forgot to thank Jesus, and the academy.
Only that Greece doesn't have much to export - mostly olives/olive oil and some seasonal fruit.
These days, they're not built like Roman roads and bridges, and don't last for generations.
The roman roads wouldn't last for generations without maintenance... and their maintenance costs helped bankrupt the empire. Hilariously, today road maintenance companies with Italian names are being drug through court for the offensively bad job they did around northern California. Less hilariously, the taxpayer is currently paying for some of those "repairs" to be repaired again. Last night I drove over the parts they're about to patch between Lakeport and Kelseyville on the CA 29, and it's a bunch of short disconnected sections so it'll be like speed bumps again in short order. Some of them are 80% of the width of the lane, to save a few bucks they're creating uneven lanes. Lake County CA has become a bedroom community for the Bay Area, and people are actually commuting now into there from parts beyond like Ukiah — if you're going into the East Bay, as bad as traffic is around the central BA and where the 101 passes through it, it may well make sense to go over St. Helena. Which, by the way, is also under maintenance right now, because California. A commuter coming from Ukiah might well face over an hour of delays alone (let alone secondary effects) if they don't know which back roads to take. I guess I forgot to mention the roundabout they're building at the intersection of CA 20 and CA 29.
I did mention the 101, though, which is still horrible. It's easily one of the worst freeways in the USA. It's the road I bring up any time anyone suggests building roadways out of concrete, or anything similar.
On the other hand, the Romans had very different standards. They didn't expect to carry multiple lanes of traffic at 80 miles per
I no longer, for example, would be content to merely buy a new bicycle helmet. I'd want the STL file for it, and the materials in a way that could be printed/assembled locally.
Your comment seemed so intelligent until we found out how little you value your brain.
You can get a pretty good gun for $200 and a really good gun for $500 these days. You can get a CNC'd 1911 for that now... or something more modern
It might be easier to get a quality part subtractively, with a dremel, unless you don't mean the vent louvers.
What *I* need is some fiddly little plastic pieces that go between servos and vent flaps. Thanks, Audi! Assholes. I think they're nylon, originally, and they certainly look like they're designed to fail. I think, though, that I should probably hand-make replacements from Aluminum rod stock.
Because the value of gold and silver is somehow less arbitrary than electronic bank balances.
Heaven forbid they couldn't just like the look of the vehicle, no they must be compensating for something.
They can like the look of the vehicle, but a truck is a shitty car so if you buy one over a car for doing car things then you're making poor decisions and just justifying them. That's OK, welcome to 'merica, but it's a shame that everyone else should have to suck down their smog. Remember, pickups have different emissions restrictions than cars. That's why we now are expecting automakers to find ways to sell more fuel-efficient vehicles. They like to wring their hands and claim that the people just chose trucks, but the industry lobbied to keep truck emissions high, they advertised trucks as being the manly choice, they created the situation.
The conversion factor used in determining the caloric value of foods (from its constituent parts) was determined by drying them out, putting them in a little furnace and setting them on fire. I only wish I were making this up. But it just made me think, if you set the cotton on fire... etc etc
Exactly, they underestimate what an hungry taxi driver with his friends can do.
What he will do is be a savage. You think the people driving for Uber are doing it because they've got an excess of money? It's the poor fighting the poor all over again, what idiots.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
