Good luck with that one. Even if that actually happens, there are plenty of fruit free alternatives.

No, but someone who's confessed profession is "information warefare" astroturfing blogs is.

Since he's now been exposed and thoroughly put back in his box, I'd say the answer to that is "not very". I despise paid shills. Fortunately this one was dumb enough to be obvious.

You have mass, therefore you owe a licence fee.

I'd like to add my vote here for Orson Scott Card and John Wyndham. My son who is now 13, enjoyed "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow". John Wyndham's novels may start a bit slow for a young reader. In this regard "The Kraaken Wakes" is one I found hard to get into as a child. The "Midwich Cuckoos" or "The Chrysalids" are two that I would recommend, although some background explanation of the latter might be necessary for someone born after the Cold War. "The Day Of The Triffids" is perhaps, a bit dark. His short stories are great if you can find them.

My wife and I are both left handed. Our son is right handed.

It's people like you what cause unrest.

Is this something we really want to do though? I suspect that advertising our presence, our location and the fact that there is a habitable planet here, to random civilisations that will thus know about us before we know about them? I think it's safer to stay hidden and keep listening.

So yeah, 0% (you insensitive clod)

A lot of modern sewage works use the methane to run the heaters that keep the digestion process going. Sometimes they use it to run modified IC engines that power generators. The heat from the engines is then used to heat the digesters instead of using a standard radiator. There is at least one plant in the UK that has used this system for over ten years.

No, Propane is a longer chain hydrocarbon that liquifies more easily. Natural gas is mostly methane that requires much higher pressure and/or lower temperature to turn it into a liquid. Fine for an ocean going tanker. Not really practical for a road vehicle.

I've seen this up close. It's a mock up for a military aircraft display in a tourist resort near Shanghai.

I think in this case, it's more likely to be "Fruit Ninja"

It takes hours to sort them out afterwards.

At least this time there is no pilot to beg for the return of.
