The fact that you're talking about a trip a few months off to find a case that doesn't work for you is pretty telling. That's pretty much the definition of an edge case. Why are you basing your car buying decisions on a couple of hours of charging on a trip you take pretty occassionally? I suspect that you wouldn't constantly drive around in a moving van for the twice a year situations where you want to move some furniture?
Electric cars don't have to meet every use case a gasoline car can meet before they should be considered a reasonable alternative.
The title is in reference to chapter titles in some older humorous books. The house at Pooh Corner is the one that I can think of, but it's in others from the same era.
For instance,
"Chapter IV
In Which it is Shown that Tiggers Don't Climb Trees"
The author is implying that it's another piece of an ongoing saga that's got some silliness in it.
I REALLY hate the concept of service animals...
Haha, What?
All of those can be done with a guy spending two seconds typing in the name of new beers when they come in.
Also, St Augustine's in Vancouver does the whole live update menu thing and has for years. They have it over the bar and on screens over the urinals in the bathroom. I'm assuming they have flow meters or some other type of instrumentation set up.

Looks like they turned over a hell of a lot of kegs recently for whatever reason.
So you think appointing a woman to a political position... hurts equal opportunity for women?
You seem to be working on the assumption that a lesbian inherently can't be a reasonable choice without taking PR into account.
Why don't you think this person's proved herself and in what scenario would you think that the political appointment of a lesbian isn't primarily for PR reasons?
Neat, I'm also in Canada and when I had head trauma they observed me and because it looked at least somewhat risky I got a CT scan within a half hour of walking into the hospital. Then when I started showing additional symptoms and the CT was reviewed I got an MRI, also within a very short period of time. The bleed ended up stopping itself.
In the year after that I had another MRI because of some continuing symptoms, in that cases there wasn't an emergency so I had to wait a while, and that's fair enough. Yeah, it's possible something horrible had happened again, but it was unlikely.
While it's certainly possible that your exchange was some horrible problem with the medical system, it's more likely that this:
"That sounds like an emergency, can't we get bumped up the line?" "No, the system does not view this an emergency."
was the doctor telling you he didn't think it was critical enough to escalate. Yeah, there is a system in place, but if a doctor actually has a reason to push for something due to a possible emergency he can do it. If you've had a concussion and it's been a little while and you're not symptomatic it's pretty darn likely that you don't have a bleed. It's not standard practice to perform imaging unless there are certain indicators:
I imagine it costs less to defend against and clean up after DDoS or XSS attacks on a static page, than it does against an active web site.
It would be one thing if the cuts ("sequestration") really happened as planned, equally distributed between defense and non-defense discretionary spending.
Except that the defense industry has been on top of it for months now, and have a very good lobbying campaign going to scare the shit out of Washington about what will happen if the defense cuts go through. So I fear that what will happen is either the defense cuts will be reversed, and the other cuts will still happen, or else none of the cuts will happen.
People are pretty excited about Operation Chimichanga and the thought of a real shooting war with China. They should be horrified and disgusted.
Fusion scientists often get criticized for making unrealistic promises ("Fusion has been thirty years away, for fifty years!" or some variation on that). But take a look at the graph here. The graph shows the funding estimates from a 1976 fusion development plan, with various paths to a reactor. The black curve way at the bottom is the actual funding profile.
Ph.D student in fusion here. (I was one of the authors of this Ask Slashdot.)
It's important to note that there are a range of opinions on this. Everyone thinks ITER is a good idea, at the right price. That price was originally quoted at $5-billion (with the U.S. picking up 9% of that) when the U.S. made the decision to join in 2003; today the construction cost is estimated at somewhere north of $20-billion. Hopefully now with Motojima as Director-General, this cost will stop rising. (From what I hear, he's being very rigorous about cost and schedule control and pushing the team hard on these fronts.)
The problem for the U.S. is that participation in ITER doesn't make sense without a strong domestic program in place to take advantage of the results that come out of it. And without a (temporary) surge in U.S. fusion funding to get over the ITER construction "hump", the entire domestic program might be "squeezed" out of existence. Check out the graph here:

So it's not so much a matter of "is ITER good science?" (it is!). The question is: "is ITER the right path for the U.S. at a cost of 9% of $20-billion or $25-billion, without a commitment to sustain the domestic program through the ITER construction phase?"
I urge everyone here to go to our website that we set up at fusionfuture.org, which has a lot of information about this issue. We still need your help - the House has restored funding for the domestic fusion program, but the current Senate version of the bill still has the domestic fusion budget slashed (and the fusion experiment at MIT entirely closed down). There is still work to do!
Wow, that looks extremely similar to the red light created by the Starfish Prime thermonuclear bomb detonation in space! In that case, it was fast electrons from the nuclear explosion, spiralling along magnetic field lines and eventually colliding with oxygen atoms in the atmosphere, which emit a red glow when excited.
I'm going to guess that this is a picture of oxygen being excited by runaway electrons produced by lightning. Cool!
Very first thing I tried asking their online bot.
Me: What is your least favorite food?
Eugene: My "little friend". (No, not my dick as you might have thought! Just my guinea pig). If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-)
Fantastic work, Princeton AI lab.
