Comment Re: most of Germany's power not electric ? (Score 1) 461

( Does Germany even have winter? I think Fahrenheit (the guy who invented the temperature scale) was German and he seemed to think that 0F was as cold as you could get, so I guess they don't have a real winter there.)

There are several folkloric versions of how he set the zero, but he didn't do it by watching a thermometer...google "frigorific mixture".

You can certainly find subzero temps in Europe if you go high enough, but Fahrenheit mostly lived and worked in the Low Countries.

Comment Re:Drone Hunting (Score 1) 199

I guess my drone hunting license is useless....

It always was: the few hundred voters who live in Deer Trail, a Colorado truckstop town, rejected the measure to authorize them. If you're one of the tourists who were conned into buying one at the truckstop anyway, you should continue on up to Wyoming where they'll be glad to sell you a stuffed jackalope head.
