Or Paris, or London, roundabouts with more than 2 lanes are a nightmare because humans aren't made to handle that many inputs in real time.

Yes, my 2007 Blackberry on T-Mobile transitioned from WiFi to cellular without dropping calls just fine. It's not exactly rocket science.
Touch ID is broken and will be until Apple uses a non-crap (expensive) fingerprint reader.
So if you lose or upgrade your phone you have to re-setup all your stored cards? That doesn't sound very Apple like. If not then they're storing it in your device backup and just like the nude pics it's open for hackers to retrieve from the backup image.
They submitted exactly what they use in a god damn congressional hearing

Preferably a link to the Congressional Record where the additives are listed.
Huh? Cleveland and Detroit are both the definition of rustbelt and urban sprawl, heck Youngstown was ranked 175/221 for worst urban sprawl in the smart growth 2014 report.
and """contiminated""" frac water isn't any more polluted.
Really, you say that with such conviction. Would you drink untreated, or lightly treated fracking water every day for a year? Because AFAIK nobody but the fracking companies knows exactly what they're putting into their mixtures (and often not even then, many wildcaters buy from Halliburton and friends). The companies have fought extremely hard against any attempt to have them disclose what they are using, or at having and independent scientific analysis of the safety of the fracking effluent. One of the few scholarly articles I've found shows significant risks:
The analysis of effluent samples collected prior to the PADEP’s request supports our first hypothesis that concentrations of analytes in effluent were above water quality criteria (Table 1). Ba, Sr, and bromides are of particular public health concern. For the metals strontium and barium, both surpassed the federal MCL for drinking water link
Bullshit. There was a case here locally where a farm that had had fine drinking water for almost 200 years suddenly had flammable water with Benzene levels 5-10x the allowable limit. They have water reports from as little as 2 years before the fracking began because they were contemplating selling the farm (they ended up donating most of the land to the county for a park and taking a 100 year tax abatement on the homestead instead, which is how the land ended up being fracked to begin with, talk about no good deed going unpunished). You can check out the story yourself if you think I'm some fringe lunatic.
Trains will probably never run on synth fuel, with a train storage is a complete non-issue, fuel takes up a tiny fraction of the available cargo room and towing capacity so trains will just use lightly compressed natural gas directly, it's WAY more energy efficient that way and the conversion from traditional diesel is trivial (Berkshire owned CSX is already starting to convert their fleet)..
Natural gas basically just subsidizes the cost of drilling, the profit comes from the liquid petroleum fraction, that's why BP recently pulled out of their holdings in SE Ohio, their test wells were all much drier than expected resulting in wells that had ROIs well below other global areas so they shifted their capital elsewhere. So as long as they can find large pockets of wet gas there will be as much supply as the transportation network can handle, and if they're finding enough wet gas then liquification will become economical and we'll start shipping natural gas to Europe, which will have interesting geopolitical impacts as it will neuter Putin.
It's much more important than the 31k affected sites, 1024 roots are weak enough targets that just about any nation state and many crime syndicates can create a flood of valid and trusted certs just by factoring the private key of that one CA cert.
Isn't it obvious that the same Martians that keep stealing the landers we send over there =)
50% inedible
By this I mean, either too tough to chew, like some woody shelf mushrooms, or just plain indigestible, like oak or maple leaves, for example.
25% " edible, but not incredible"
There are a lot of mushrooms out there that are edible, but tasteless.
20% will make you sick
In this category I put things that will irritate your digestive tract. In mild cases, this means that you will throw up after eating the mushrooms. In more severe cases, it means that your entire digestive tract becomes extremely upset and expels whatever is inside it, in whatever direction is quickest. In very severe cases, your digestive tract continues trying to expel whatever is in it for a few days.
4% will be tasty to excellent
In other words, these are the mushrooms that there's actually a reason to eat.
1% can kill you
Need I say more?

So I did some research, natural gas is 26% of total energy production but the methane leaked through use is roughly 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions, so replacing all coal and petroleum with methane would only result in an ~70% reduction in total greenhouse gas effects, using propane from carbon neutral sources would be closer to 98%.
Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas.
