Key word here is mother-in-law, which in my case is 30 miles away (my parents are 30 miles in the opposite direction, makes holidays interesting). Given this is slashdot, I'm assuming you won't understand the benefits of being at least 30 miles from your mother in law.
Oh, I understand. Which is why I'm 150 miles from mine.
Make the batteries bigger and you still have to have the gas engine for when you visit your cousin 300 miles away.
It's not for longer trips that pure EV's get killed. It's the every Saturday when you have to run to the grocery store, bank, stop by your mother in laws, pick up some stuff at Best Buy, and you drive 150 miles running errands use case. Our leaders never mention this case though, because they actually don't drive for themselves.
150 miles? If you're averaging 30 mph (whilst driving), that's 5 hours of driving. Just how far away is your Best Buy, grocery store and bank?
"The problem that bothered them was this. Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-centre, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-centre cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighbouring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza — and if not, who will get more?"
This is useful, of course, if you're familiar with the concept of "sharing" a pizza.
The public needs to be shown that the word "nuclear" is not cause for panic. Better yet, not to judge technology such as NMR as being dangerous simply because of the name.
You go to hospital and be given an enema instead of NMR because the nurse misheard and tell me it's not dangerous!
Poisoning education
Wrong. Children learn to work on the platform that's mostly used in Businesses today, giving them the necessary skills to obtain a job.
not that i'm supporting this campaign, but it would be better if children learn to work with computers in general, not one specific platform or product, so that they can also use whatever will be used in businesses tomorrow. give a man a fish etc.
When I was in school, I learnt "word processing" and "spreadsheets" with very early word processing and spreadsheet packages. However, the standard for formulas in spreadsheets has not changed in the 20 years, right up until Office 2007, where the cell referencing is different by default. So it would be better to teach children to use the standards, and teach companies to adher to standards...
