I would like to name it Sodom. The people that live there are Sodomizers.
I believe they would actually be called Sodomites, which is already funny enough.
But then you have to pay hundreds of USD for an iPhone (or maybe one hundred for a compatible Android phone) and hundreds of USD per year to upgrade from voice-only cellular service to smartphone service. Or what am I missing?
That most people already have a smartphone.
The data plan issue is a bigger one, I think.
But it'll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere.
In fact the GIGN is a part of the armed forces not the police.
Oh, so the French regularly use their armed forces against their own populace? That's even better.
Most criminals would no longer be able to transact business, as they operate in a cash system.
The biggest criminals run banks... or governments
If they can grow it on Aluminum foil, perhaps they can grow it on an Aluminum block, with cooling passages.
Since when have protective tariffs been "efficient"?
If we required accounting of emissions, and not simply of currency units, then there would be no need for tariffs to address the issue of the hidden environmental costs. They can eventually be translated into economic costs, but they also affect quality of life — you can assign economic costs to that as well, but you'll hardly tell the whole story.
When you buy goods made somewhere with inadequate pollution controls, many others have to pay part of your bill. My only problem with the whole idea is that any tariffs should be used specifically for bioremediation, and my prediction is that they largely won't be.
My favorite thing about free to pay games is that so many games (FtP or otherwise) are only really fun during the buildup phase, and then they get a bit samey. You can go through all that without actually spending any money. You lose the time either way. Then you move on to the next game. Along the way, if you're feeling generous, you might file some bug reports. That is an awful lot like actual work, however.
You have no idea what the design is and you're trying to up game the designers? Really?
Not trying, and not me. It's not my invention, and it's already been done. It's what you're normally meant to do when you build a rocket stove, for example.
I didn't view the images because you just get black squares without scripts. Come on, Slashdot, link a site that can write HTML, not where they're too incompetent to display images without javascript. This is 1990s technology. What year is it?
Anyway, on topic, all you actually need is a skirt to channel heat up the sides of the pot. If it's a little lower than the pot itself then the heat will flow up the sides of the pot and you get massively more heat transfer. One little piece of sheet metal, done.
