Cooperation to me would imply a 4+ player game (like Bridge). Is this true for Pandemic?

First of all, props for your comment about Monopoly above.

Amazon rates Power Grid very highly. One group, who did not care for the game, caused me to wonder what the optimum number of players is for this game. Any suggestion(s)?

How about make bars (& liquor stores) responsible, period.

They pay their share of all costs -- lawyers, cops, DUI-testing vehicles, repairs, jacked-up insurance premiums, death benefits, emergency room visits, funeral costs.

Businesses would quickly get out of the booze/poison business. Life would be better. Full stop.

Ditto. I have five of these, at home.

Question: has anyone else had keys start to go "mushy" on their Unicomp? I have several keys starting to do this on my main use keyboard. They still work, they just don't click any more... [I've only had this keyboard for two years.]

It is more evidence in support of Spring-And-Loop Theory, which has a model that, among many other things, explains why neutrinos can travel faster than light.

A good point. The Cd is just one part of the Fd. And in the Fd equation, Cd (inversely related to A) is multiplied by A so that the frontal area is removed entirely from the final equation. There should be a (Cd * A) term (although even that would not be quite right...Reynolds number being yet another factor).

It should just be Fd...

But surprised they don't use the correct word: (a)ether.

I'm also an engineer and here is my better theory.

By the way, dark matter doesn't fix things. Compare the calculated and predicted "star speed vs distance from the BH" graph here. Instead of a predicted drop-off in speed, there is NO drop off in speed. Adding more mass (as d.m. is supposed to be) can not possibly help this curve.

Doesn't get much more safe than this

Imagine you have a truck that gets 20 mpg, but gas is now touching $4/gallon. Would you stay with a truck, or switch to a Peel P50? Answer: it is a personal decision that has nothing to do with highways trying to apply selective tolls that discriminate against station wagons full of mag tape.

We control cap. ISPs control non-net neutrality.

Is "data against cap" the same as net neutrality? I don't see the relationship.

(1) affordable -- if your time is worthless.

(2) on demand -- I demand you stand there and wait for the bus to travel on its schedule.

(3) weather-resistant -- bus shelters will keep your head dry, while your clothes get plastered with slush when the bus you don't want drives by.

Car2Go uses Smart cars, that can be parked wherever after they are used. Hundreds of them around here, a much smarter and more popular concept than a Zipcar. Among other things, they get more "turns" from their cars because, for example, a given person uses the car to go home, parks the car out front, then the next morning uses it again. If you have to return a Zipcar to its spot all the time, that is much less convenient. There seem to be Car2Go setups in at least Austin, Seattle & Portland.

Most of our power usage in our house is at night

Huh? Only major thing I can think of is charging an electric car.

YET. They haven't found a cheap renewable energy tech YET. Coal & other prices will continue to rise, while their efficiencies are the highest they will get. Solar cell costs are plunging, while their efficiencies rise. I predict a collision, a market and a profit.
