Can you do that? I'm pretty sure you can't do that, you don't get health care if you haven't been living there for the last 5 years or something like that right?
It comes with a better desktop manager (MATE) and a more sensible set of applications. You could modify Ubuntu to be the same but it's less work to start with Mint, which is why I'm switching.
So the Scandinavian countries and the UK should be home to the superpowers and the US should be lagging far behind, with Australia being a poverty-ridden hellhole, right? Native Americans aren't a bunch of pasty white folks...
You can improve everyone's gas mileage by at least 10% if we switched AC systems to peltier (thermal electric cooler) systems
Citation needed. From what I can find Peltier cooling is horribly inefficienct compared to a traditional AC system. Also if this was true you'd expect some high-end hybrids or electric cars would have such a system.
Battery wear isn't a problem (and there are small capacitor banks coming out that can hold enough power for multiple starts on their own anyways) and the engines with start/stop do have different starter motors to stand up to being used more often.
Yeah by 2025 "MPG" won't be so relevant, by then I'm sure a majority of new cars sold will be electric. This mandate will seem quite silly in retrospect, electric cars are already getting triple-digit MPG equivalent (both in terms of cost and energy efficiency).

Or that their government is now...

dead in the water...
Got rich.
"Fake it until you make it" will beat honest work every time.
Some high-end euro cars do have LED headlights (not just sidelights/indicators) but they're nowhere near as common as HIDs on new cars AFAIK...
Seriously, all new cars come with HIDs now...
Maybe I will.

^Exhibit A, human whose sense of equality has been fully subjugated.
My cars don't have airbags :-P
I'd recently decided to switch my laptop to Mint.
Monkeys are smarter than us in some cases:

Fair point, it's just disappointing that nobody thinks of this while participating in DARPA projects and other "defense" related work.

Knock yourself out.
I wonder if some punk kid on a skateboard found this cylinder...
Because they're lolztastic! PETA is great for entertainment as they unintentionally undermine their demented "cause" with great hilarity.
It's still a popular JRPG but it's well past the height of popularity in the late '90s/early 2000s when it was like the biggest fad EVAR.
It would be interesting to see how many users are SlashBIcurious...
Also the wind shear from passing jokes could be an issue.
I knew the Japanese wouldn't be outdone in the field of sword hugeness...

The CRX HF is a hypermiler's unicorn today. In competition with aero mods they get 3-digit MPG.
My first thought when I saw the headline too. We'll probably use MPGe for a long time to come because people are used to MPG.
