The fraction of a bat's diet that is made up of mosquitoes is immaterial. The thing you want to know is what fraction of mosquito predation is done by bats.

The wifi thing is pretty common. The solution is usually to add a hook to the suspend script to unload the wifi modules before suspending, and then reload them when resuming.

I guess some states/cities have ridiculous income taxes, but I am surprised your tax rate is so high. Where I live in Ohio, with that income my tax rate (including fed/city/state income tax, social security, medicare, etc. etc.) would be something around 33-35%.

I don't think that paper argues what you think it does. You might want to take another look.

Pretty sure it's the same America that put all of its Japanese citizens into camps, destroyed the lives of scientists because they had left-leaning friends, tested experimental drugs on the poor, incarcerated and military without their knowing, and practiced eugenics on "undesirables."

The America you remember never existed except in propaganda.

We had the Concorde, and it died because people would not, in fact, pay more to do that.

It's not, and don't artists hate Spotify?

Without doing much actual math, based on the energy of the neutrinos detected from SN1987A (~20 MeV or so) and the mass he measures and the distance to SN1987A (168,000 ly), you're looking at superluminal neutrinos arriving on the order of a second fast.

I have a T61p from 2008 that started at 3:30 on battery and now gets about 2:30. I'm pretty damn impressed with it, honestly.

Because hosting the film entails risks, and talking to the government is a reasonable idea when the entity making threats might be another nation. If you heard the speech last week, Obama specifically said that he wished Sony had contacted his administration before canceling the movie's opening.

There's a certain subset of people for whom that is just never going to happen, or periods in lives where that's not going to happen. If we can make a magic pill, is that terrible? It's the future, let's take advantage.

It's about 3-5, depending on whether we're taking cost/per of the initial runs or cost/per for later (~2018+) ones.

PSUs generally reach their peak efficiency at ~50% of their maximum load. Buying a 1200W power supply and drawing 300W max is wasteful.

Great recommendations, though that PSU is waaaaay more than is needed for that hardware. Even 500W would be more than enough.

The demonization of saturated fats was specifically because they used to not differentiate between trans fats and saturated fats in studies. Trans fats made sat. fats look bad. They are bad for you, full stop.
