The 1996 Opel Astra 1.6 does even better by my quick calculation. Been driving it because mum can no longer drive it and the last two long trips ended up roughly at 1 litre per 19.8 km, and 17.2 km.

My best mate noted the supposed better economy of the lease cars he rode wasn't all that better over the years. Not surprisingly with the average weight of cars going up.

Will it cause healthy food to become cheaper than the junk?
Or will they give people who can't afford healthy food money to buy it?

Although I don't buy the worst food because we have health standards here, if I would switch over to completely healthy my grocery bill would become two to three times more expensive.

Who says that the proposal isn't according to the fictional character's will, which no one can prove or disprove? And it certainly is shaped by human reason.

I'll bet you two billion I can lose money better than you. :-p

Just think of the meaning of delighted as de-lighted, i.e. have taken the light away.

How long do you have to hold the Planck position for it to be a unit?

So, nothing changed?

Being religious already means you;'re easily enough to fool with fairy tales. Now try not to hurl realising 85% of people adhere to one religion/cult or another.

Btw, Gervais had a point, why is there are term for not believing in a fantasy like an almighty god, but not one for not believing fairy tales or fantasy fiction or the like? I don't feel like im atheist, I feel like I'm a person with reasoning capability, knowing fantasy from reality (I'd never call myself normal in the first place :-p ).

Windows 2000 (workstation and server) was the best version that I worked with. Anything after that was only downhill and even 2000 had plenty to complain of.

A completely blank desktop (currently openbox on Devuan) is the only one that I like. Give me a bare-bones OS with network connection and everything else as opt-in.

Are we talking about signed or unsigned char or other type? O.o;

That's the beauty of software, it doesn't have to be of value to anyone but those who put effort in it.

Indeed, everything seems infected with Google DNS IPs nowadays.

For me it was more the other way around, though still far from great. I only thought the ability to communicate with the xenomorph made an interesting twist.

The eyetopus's creepy high intelligence would be scary were it not for the eyetopus itself being like an idea a child came up with.

I think the series had nothing of the mood that made the first movie so good, there was no tension at all, especially with all the dumb plot points and characters in it. The game Alien: Isolation did it correctly years ago and that would have been a way better base for a new series.

By the time season 2 is out and complete I'll probably watch it because I do like science fiction, but the same way I watched this one, when I feel like doing nothing and thinking the presence of the xenomorph is a coincidence.

Looks like I need to write the sequel to The Thing that's been on my writing list for so long to have my fix of old-fashioned terror. Pluribus is interesting but has so far been very predictable and the main character is kind of a stereotypical lone heroine.

Yeah, no doubt. But for all the good they do me, right?
