Can I enter to win a free trip to a resort in Cuba?
They're probably a couple years away from market. They'll be coupled with those batteries with 10x capacity that charge to full in 5 minutes that are a couple years away from market.
The person who doesn't want to be in charge of a solar system, is the person who should be in charge of a solar system.
I see you've got a fungineering degree.
It sounds right. As long as the uniforms are all silver jumpsuits and all photo/video about them is black and white.
As someone who prefers a dark, cool plane with the shades down, I would welcome this.
Times have changed. I don't think parents can let kids out by themselves anymore. Talking to a coworker with a child, she said that people will call the cops if they see a child unsupervised in a back yard. I can't imagine what would happen to kids out by themselves in the street.
The ones that tell them cashier how much to charge for the goods and tracks what is sold?
They just know that you're on the Spacing Guild's bad side and there is no way you live there.
Most places I've worked typically have core office hours where people are expected to be in the office or available. Typically something like 10 to 3 or 9 to 4 or whatever. The earliest I can leave is fixed, even if my schedule is flexible within these constraints. I prefer more daylight after work. Having DST hours year round means more daylight after work for me. Most businesses with this model aren't going to shift to be more fluid, because people need to be available during the same core times for each other. Sure, some businesses have different hours depending on the season, but it is unrealistic to believe that every company would do that.
You also need to take schools into account. Good luck getting your kid to leave a couple hours early every day because you want to enjoy more post-school daylight with them.
I'm just sad he didn't launch an old Ford Prefect instead of his Roadster.
Since I haven't seen it mentioned, I'll throw out Counterpart on Starz. The first two episodes have aired, and they've been pretty solid. Not hard sci-fi by any means, but it has potential.
I thought it was Canada's turn.
I'm sure this is a joke, but i'm hoping that it is literal and true.
