If you are worried about running out of water by doing this on large scale industrial process then you have far too few concerns in your life. Seriously we have use about 1 trillion barrels of oil in all of human existence, or about 55 trillion gallons. Assuming that all 1 trillion barrels of oil were used in the last century and if we used water at the same rate it would take somewhere around 5000 years to completely drain Lake Superior and by volume there are bigger lakes and on top of that there is still the oceans which I gather are rising so it might solve that problem as well.

If they are that desperate I wonder if I could make them a counter offer and send them $50 US to go and kick their boss in the crotch as hard as they could while having the phone on speaker so I could hear it.

While I would like to believe that this is the case reality seems to differ. I have been a fairly active citizen when contacting my elected representatives and the various candidates. Problem is that far too many people don't care and spout the anything for safety or if you have nothing to hide bull shit so they don't really care.

The GP probably just expects his police states to have iron gauntlets instead of velvet gloves.

While sitting in a similar boat to yours self I have wondered if one could file theft charges against the officer doing the seizure. I don't know if this has been tried or is even prevented by law but if I found my self in that situation that is what I would do.

Granted you would be filing it in the with the department that the officer works for but if you had a video and audio recording of the incident it would seem like good evidence and make some hay with the local media about it providing them the recording.

This just gives me some ideas of what condition I should keep the interior of my old junk jeep in. It is perfectly road worthy but beat up and rusty on the exterior and I don't bother to really clean the interior after hunting or camping. There are even blood stains on the roof from the deer I have shot over the years. I am the kind of person who would make a big stink about things and do my best to put the screws to the police department if they pulled that on me.

Upstate NY is a sauna just with more snow compared to the American version of Siberia known as Minnesota and North Dakota.

The lesson here is that Nebraska sucks. The entire state seems to be setup to extract money from people driving through it since nobody would want to stop. When they have construction zones that stretch for 10+ miles where all you see is the occasional road barrel off in a ditch or the occasional construction equipment that has been sitting so long the hydraulics are rusting but it is a construction zone with a lowered speed limit and double fines so you will see cops every 2 miles waiting for the speeder.

Depends on the ruling doled out by the court. If it is one that agrees with their political leanings then regardless if it comes from the plain text reading or twisted and tortured interpretation it is a good one.

Hey we aren't lawless.
We have so many laws and regulations that it is probably physically impossible for a single individual to read all of them in a lifetime, and we are creating more every day. Even one segment of the law that almost everyone has to deal with each year is basically unintelligible as it is almost 4 million words long and that is just the US Federal tax code.

Now joking aside we are probably at a point where due to the number of laws we as a country are very similar to a lawless one. You know it is bad when the people who do research for congress can't provide a count of the criminal offenses that exist in the USC:

My best guess would be yes you could use it as a battery and it would almost certainly be weaponized. As for how much energy could be stored my guess would be it would be the Planck Energy * (1cm^3 / Planck Volume) and I don't really feel like doing that calculation but it looks like it would be a lot given that the Planck Energy is about equal to the energy in an average car's tank of fuel and the Planck Volume is really small ~4^-104 m^3.

From what I have read going back to the time of the ancient Greeks it seems if you made it out of childhood, weren't a solider, and lived in the city or surrounding stable area as a free person you would likely live into your 70s. So over the last ~3000 years we really haven't progressed that much if your made it to adulthood (let's say ~15%), but we have made great strides in preventing people form dying before the reached adulthood.

Sounds similar to some people I knew in high school. One was especially bad in that he though he was smarter than most because he was able to get into the National Honor Society. He took the easy classes every opportunity, eg the practical math class that covered how to do simple addition and subtraction for things like a check book, never taking something as hard as a normal class if it could be avoided and never taking an AP or advanced class. He like to brag about how great he was since he was the quarterback and was in NHS and in general was a dick, think stereotypical high school QB (I didn't get beaten up by him simply because I was bigger and strong but a lot of my geeky/nerdy friends did until one of them hit him with the handle from a bumper jack).

Even without that I wouldn't call some of them sedate. The S60 with the 2.0 Liter, 4-Cylinde, Supercharged & Turbocharged, Direct Injection engine that puts out 302hp and 295 lb-ft torque looks like it would be fun to beat on.

Best idea ever.
