Nothing has been overturned here. Just a question settled, perhaps.

Full disclosure: the lead author is Martin Brasier, who just happens to be the guy who discovered slightly younger 3.4 billion year old fossils just 20km away.

Don't be so uncivilised. A cattle gun is well-tested and less messy.

No, nitrogen at normal pressure does not produce narcosis. This is simple asphyxiation.

You are thinking of auto-erotic asphyxiation. That has never been used as a method of execution, to my knowledge.

Cool teenagers maybe. While immigrants to Norway tend to be heavy smokers, cigarette consumption per capita in Norway is half that of the US or Australia. So they have a lot of occassional social smokers, not so much the addicts who stink out their cars. Though the Norwegian fondness for wet snuff (snus) is also a factor.

Are you a man or a mouse? Cut some holes in the panel if needed and install some extra sockets.

Get this:

cut the plug off, and clamp the wires to the existing socket's cables with something like these:

Another generation, and kids will be calling an electrician to change a blown light bulb :( (Now get off my lawn.)

There is one cheap, easy solution. A DAB+ receiver that plugs into the "lighter" socket, and has an FM transmitter.
This method is use by millions of people for playing MP3s in the car. Bonus if you have an AUX-in on the dash.
They are currently expensive, but only because of small demand.

For more modern cars, you would use bluetooth, and retain steering wheel controls and dashboard display. Don't most new cars support A2DP and AVRCP?
Control your DAB radio and get station and track title displayed on the dash, just like controlling your phone or iPod. Its a bit of a hack, but you could use AVRCP to select stations instead of tracks.

“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?”

A shame it wasn't Jamie Oliver or a few more people might have heard it.
I don't think there is much overlap between the Oprah audience and the John Oliver audience, and one Oprah endorsement is worth a thousand minor-celebrity condemnations.

If by "right now" you mean the last 50,000 years, then yes. Its called the "Quaternary extinction event", but it is minor compared to the "Big 5".
Humans have wiped out the mega-fauna as they spread across the earth, though the SJW types refuse to believe that the noble traditional owners, first peoples and custodians could do such a thing.

You needn't go so far as lions. Our near relatives, the chimpanzees, often kill other chimps. http://www.bbc.com/news/scienc...
But I'd say humans are arguably unique in caring about suffering of other species (not counting our domesticated dogs.)

For the older Americans, 1 acre foot = 5,172 hogsheads.
Its also equal to 9.7 cubic rods, or 325,851.429 US gallons.
For the Aussies, that is 2 micro-Sydney-Harbours.

So remind me, what is the problem you guys have with metric?

And that is the cue for the spelling Nazis to queue up.

Canaries were for carbon monoxide, actually.

That would be The Puzzle Palace by James Bamford published in 1982,
which detailed how the NSA were intercepting all international calls by methods including replicating the phone-company satellite base-stations.

Or you could just get your internet connection in a false name. Or your grandmother's.
