How tired is too tired though? I feel somewhat sleepy now (1527h Fri) not for any good reason, and yet I'll be driving home, we aren't talking long commute times here, about 15 minutes. Measuring fatigue levels like this would be useful.

Yes, they don't exist Noa Moa.

It's a one day ban now, but I bet they're considering longer term adoption. This is a pilot test.

The government could work around this by issuing all odd or even plates to a family. Wonder if plates without numbers are considered even or odd?

I'm saying that 6% is a good deal for Google, but its a lot for a state to lose. I'm fairly sure Texas has a lot of freeways and tall buildings. Dallas comes to mind (both the city and the soap - yes, I'm that old)

Are there dev machines that have less than 16GB? Curious, is all.

You're more likely to think RadioSpares, not RadioShack. Particularly if you're after components.

meh. Chicken breast is the worst part of the chicken, IMAO.

+1 to this. But some of the manual consumer grade ones arent bad (Silvia) especially if you mod them. If you drink coffee other than short black, a pod machine is good enough.

Anyone who introduces water at or above[1] boiling point to coffee grounds is doing it wrong. (91-96C is preferred range)

[1] yes, it can be introduced above boiling point, since espresso makers can use boilers. And the boiler temp can be above boiling point, since the path to the group head tends to cool the water somewhat.

Espresso (including pod) machines make a single cup. The downside for pods is that the coffee is pre-ground. (and stale) The upside is convenience. How much you want to pay for the convenience of not grinding your own coffee per shot is up to you. It certainly isn't a time issue, I can grind and 'shoot' an espresso in less than a minute, try getting close to that with a conventional drip/press/whatever brew. (yes the boiler element is running continuously under PID control)

Why are Walmart so profitable? Because they have customers. The best way to make Walmart stakeholders listen to you would be to take that away from them.

They need to tax middle income more. That's where most of the money is. If you taxed 100% of income of the 1% you still wouldn't have enough. Realise that when you say tax rich people more, you are including yourself in that. When you're quite happy saying "tax me more" then we can go forward.

No, they are humans that make less money than I do. You're the one constructing a straw man here.
