Correlation is not causation?

What do you think came first, the high crime rate, or the restrictive gun laws?

Agreed. What's more, modern energy-efficient fridges use smaller compressors and run them longer than older ones.

I just replaced my old brick with an LG refrigerator (a big one, too) with their linear compressor. Because it's essentially a continuously variable displacement compressor, there's no big startup inrush current like the older style compressors. Instead, it just starts gently until it gets up to full speed. And the compressor doesn't even need to run a full power, it cycles around 50% most of the time.

Hah! In the movie they shaped it like a regular cartridge, with a shoulder on the casing and everything... except that the "motor" is on the back of the cartridge, meaning the entire thing is actually a huge bullet.

I hope this wasn't something that was supposed to be able to be fired from a regular rifle in the movie!

We don't have time to go to Starbucks now.

You know he means NO as in Nitric Oxide, not an emphatic "no," right?

NOx would be better though, since it's really a mixture of a bunch of things.

I thought LagFix just executed an SSD TRIM.

Wow, that guy just kept causing problems. That he eventually strangled himself on a bed pulley system of his own design seems like a pretty fitting (and ironic) end to his life.

I would enroll in Netflix just for more Better off Ted. C'mon, Lem and Phil are my favorite TV duo! That episode where they have the timer set to switch which one is in charge every couple minutes is frigging genius.

What's epic, is that I just tried inputting cursive and had 100% recognition success (although I was writing extra carefully to play with it).

As would sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial.

You're right! Argh!

Bing Maps is like what you'd get if you updated the old version of Google Maps, but made it better instead of worse.

I feel so dirty now :(

"super magnetic levitation motor"

I wonder what that means.

Um.

Are you reading the same thread?

It's not. But politically, he's calling it the most important because it's something humans can't do anything about. If fits in perfectly with the right's narrative on AGW. By making the problem out of their control, they can claim anyone wanting to do anything about it just wants to "kill jobs" or "redistribute wealth."

Um, you do realize that desalinization plants don't desalinate the ocean, right?

He's calling it an (the most?) important component BECAUSE we can't do anything about it.

Think about it.
