    Yeah, but many vegetarians eat shitily.

    Processed foods often contain high levels of salt, sugar (or HFCS) and white flour or cornstarch because this stuff is cheap. Processed food will keep you alive but is unbalanced nourishment.

    Though replaceable batteries provide much the same benefit.

    x+10*x and x-10*x in the first two formulas.

    And "you're", not your. Ouch.

    Ten times is a multiplication, more is add, less is subtract.

    Ten times more is c+10*x

    Ten times less is c-10*x

    A tenth of is x/10

    A tenth less is x-x/10

    Nine tenths less is x-(9*x/10)

    So your saying that ten times less is the same as nine tenths less.

    Ain't nobody got time for that.

    I believe he would have completed the sentence with "capacitors". Current as in presently available, not Coulombs per second.

    I have a laptop with a fingerprint scanner and I would not accept that technology on a self-defense firearm even were I for the idea in general.

  9. Re:Cars needs keys by law...yes, all of them... on Gun Rights Groups Say They Don't Oppose Smart Guns, Just Mandates · · Score: 1

    I'd be willing to bet there were keys for other ways of securing a vehicle before there were keyed ignitions. In fact, given that the early cars were crank start, probably locking the trunk was close enough.

    Many/most auto transmissions have a way to defeat the interlock too. I had to use mine when I swapped out the engine.

    Ideally, this will be left for the market. There's room for both options. We already have Taxi cabs after all.

    Interesting idea. I wish I had mod points.

    Might put an end to some of those road-gators too.

    I can fully get behind this. So how do we get cops to actually start prosecuting the bad drivers instead of just sitting by the side of the road and nabbing people who are driving safely but exceeding a semi-arbitrary number?

    Yes, life would be so much easier if we could just eliminate that whole legal system thing.

    Plasmas were sometimes referred to as the fourth phase of matter when I was studying physics. Then, of course, there are gels and such also.

    Yeah, but typically, stations on Earth are stationary with respect to *something*, usually the immediate local environment. The space station is in orbit, not even geostationary orbit and is stationary only with respect to itself.

    We won't get to the stars if the watermelons have their way. We'll all be living in mud huts in squalor until the extinction event happens. Whatever species achieves sentience next should have plenty to work with though.

    Anti tax but supports funding by taxes and doesn't see why he should support something if his neighbors don't.

    Look, I understand why someone would think this was a waste of money/bad deal/scam, whatever but jeez, if you support something, just go ahead and support it. Don't sit around whining and sucking your thumb cause it's "not fair" or some similar bullshit. Take control of your life.
