True - there is some karma at work here, I think. Of course, this doesn't just hurt Sony.
and drink a huge amount of water: i get through about a litre an hour. this is *important* because otherwise i find i really really suffer the next day (which shows in my inability to do the yoga, which is precisely why i do it, to check that my body's not full of toxins. as far as yoga's concerned: spirituality be buggered, i want to know if my body's ok!!)
A liter of water an hour is at the far end of overkill. Tour de France riders go through an average of 7 per day, and they're doing high range cardio.
As for the "toxins" comment, just LMAO.
I think the problem here is the dad's attitude, not the daughter's.
100% right. Maybe she wants to be an artist and have nothing to do with computers or science?
Around 2000? Try 1980.
Make the ballots out of hemp, problem solved.
No - it's not even a question. Bury the lines and you will remove a large number of causes for power outages.
Nope. Lived in a subdivision in the 80s with all buried lines. Power always went out during big summer rain storms. You're not going to find magical waterproof cunduit anywhere that doesn't cost an outrageous sum.
unlocking car boots, setting off windscreen wipers, locking brakes, and cutting the engine.
If a hacker can do all that, why can't the car itself open the windows slightly if the temperature inside gets high and there is no rain outside? All the hardware is already there — the sensors know both the inside temperature and whether anything is hitting the windshield (so wipers can turn automatically in rain).
It'd be way safer to get a fan going to circulate the air than to crack the windows open. You really want car makers to open themselves up to having cars stolen easier?
Most cars cost multiple thousands of dollars
Yes, but we can schedule a work stoppage around that time.
Does talking to "God" involve having an epileptic seizure?
No, usually it involves stealing a spaceship.
The building is likely heavily steel-framed.
That, and the entire mattress industry is a scam.
I have seen things like that at Walmart too, like special version of a DVD that contains an extra trailer, or a drill that doesn't come with the carrying case like it does from Home Depot, all differences that cause it to have a different SKU.
That's a bit different, since they tend to be overtly marketed as "retailer-exclusive versions" in the case of DVDs (eg. Steel case edition only available at Best Buy, extra trailer only available at Target, etc.)
One of the tricks I've heard for that is to put your kickstand (usually steel) down near the sensor loop. Of course, some bikes will have kill switches that are triggered by kickstand down switch, so it may be worth a test.
