But right now it's more like boating or flying - "use 1/3 of your fuel coming, 1/3 of your fuel going and keep at least 1/3 of fuel in reserve". In the air or on the water, running out of fuel is at least incredibly inconvenient, usually rather dangerous.
So, it's a completely different mind set. This will likely improve over time, but for now you're going to have pretend that you are an intrepid explorer, wandering the wilds of dark America.
Why does he need to charge the battery? Just bring an exercise bike and a pair of jumper cables with you wherever you go!
I'm missing something. Care to draw a circuit diagram?
So, nobody can read NYT's article (without registering/logging in), but everyone can read Musk's rebuttal. That's going to make the debate fairly one-sided in the public's mind.
You can't figure out how to get into the NYT site without paying?
Turn in your geek card.
Oh. Wait.
PNAS isn't 'dodgy', but it has a different twist. If you are a member of the NAS (not easy to do) you have a bit of influence - certainly not all that much - to get people to review the paper. It serves as a bit of an old boys club, but it also serves as an additional foil to the insular tendencies of Nature and Science. To be fair, there is so much published that it's hard to pick the winners all of the time. It's not even necessary. Good research tends to get out, maybe not as fast as some would like but it gets out.
This isn't a race.
Here it is folks, proof positive that methamphetamine is bad for you.
And they said I was crazy preparing my zombie apocalypse survival kit.
Hardly. Even the top levels of the US government recommend being prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse. I mean, this is the same group of folks that wants you to get a flu shot.
OK, how about this? Australians drive on the wrong side of the road (when they bother to drive on the road at all). Coriolis forces are the other way around in the Southern Hemisphere - you've got to program that back asswardness in everything. That costs money.
Oh, we'll pay for it all right. Just a bit further down the road.
No, no. He meant sitting on your duck. His post almost makes sense when you read it that way.
Dunno, 'herd' seems to fit better.
Or perhaps 'gaggle'.
FYI, calling people "sheep" is the easiest way to cause everyone to ignore what you're saying.
Not really, a grammar error will do just fine. The laser-like focus on the misplaced comma will incite a half dozen threads about the Oxford Manual of Style, totally obscuring any point the thread had to make.

I know this is Slashdot, but most people think that the sun is, in general, a good idea.
Pleasant little sod, aren't you?
Time for your Prozac.
Didn't realize it was that 'old'. I guess no one will steal it.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
