Only around 15% of the US population live in fully rural counties, which seem like the sort of place you describe. Perhaps you could make up for the damage you do with a car or truck by collecting your own electricity with all that land, or something. Luckily, there is hardly anyone else around you to enjoy the pollution your gas and/or diesel vehicles create.
(I live in a remote and semi-rural area, too, and I bicycle everywhere.)
That, and the obligatory: move out of the sticks.
Or go electric - you'll have to stop using mostly coal for your electricity for it to make any sense (which is the dominant source, particularly in midwestern and western rural areas - where a lot of that low population density land is). 50 miles to a city isn't that big a deal for an electric car.
And yet Tom Baker is *the* Doctor, and Heath Ledger is *the* Joker. I agree that actors can sometimes give us a definitive performance, but they are not always the first actor in the role.
To be fair, the lawyers probably aren't the ones that set the marching orders. They aren't screwing with these guys just for kicks, but because they are paid to do so.
I just re-read Dune and Dune Messiah a month or so ago. I think Dune Messiah is terribly underrated, and a necessary counterpoint to the mythical heroism of Paul Muad'Dib in the first book.
Perhaps you meant to include it between Dune and Children of Dune? If not, you should give it another look - especially after a rereading of Dune.
I am sure that lots of people still think about this - or pretend they will do it, anyway, but whether or not they actually roadtrip frequently the idea that they can't with an EV is a negative.
That, and plenty of folks live 50 or more miles out of the nearest urban center, or in other areas where a 100+ mile round trip is quite common. Current-model LEAFs won't even get you there and back again, unless you can be certain of a charging station in the urban area for the return trip. With that sort of hassle, even home-filtered biodiesel sounds like a more attractive option.
It is great that more affordable EVs with longer range are on the horizon. But that isn't really solving the bigger problem, which is the impression that range sucks, and will continue to suck. I'm not even sure that impression is all that wrong. 200 or even 300 miles ain't squat.
No, because cognitive ability is still highly heritable in behavior genetic work (think twin studies). Candidate gene studies (the tradition GWAS grew out of) tends to have null results because there are thousands of genes related to cognitive abilities, and they likely do not work in a simple additive way (think necessary and sufficient conditions).
So, while I would certainly agree that candidate gene studies are unlikely to find a "smart" gene or genes, this statement:
so there is something much more important than genetics in determining IQ.
Graduate students and professors need to "publish or perish". I'm hoping that at least some of them will use at least some of their publishing time to write free textbooks.
It is unlikely that a free textbook (or any textbook, really) will count for tenure, in either the social or physical sciences, barring very high level technical textbooks.
So, yes, they would be wasting their time unless already well established. That rules out grad students and early career professors.
However, people are getting more educated and tech-savvy in general.
That is false: familiarity with facebook does not mean tech-savvy.
A surprising portion of even the very best and brightest 18-22 year olds would still hold a floppy disk completely level if you told them the bits might fall off.
It has always seemed to me that an iPhone only really made sense if you were already an almost completely Apple shop. If you already use OSX everywhere, have a few apple TVs or airport speakers lying around, an iPhone is tops for integration.
I've never understood why anyone would buy one that didn't already have at least one OSX machine.
Apple was famous for their cheapness and that "hardware that could support GUIs" was a 9" monochrome monitor with terrible resolution. PC's had better than that from the start.
That is how scientific publishing is structured. Don't blame the authors, they're mostly incapable of fighting the system without sabotaging their careers.
Even if X is often correlated with Y, it doesn't justify the assumption that X always implies Y.
While that is true, the safe bet is still going to be that X implies Y.
If the first premise is true (X is highly correlated with Y), then to expect Y when one finds X is only natural (and takes less processing time).
Now, if we had some clear cases where X doesn't lead to Y, for example when Z is present, then we can solve the problem of unfairly expecting Y by also looking for Z. Hunting for Z will probably be more fruitful in the long run than trying to train people to ignore stereotypes that have evidentiary support.
Wasting mod points to post, but:
US Americans are not that heterogenous. What specific groups (with dissenting views relevant to the matter at hand) are systematically excluded from the sample?
They offer up their sampling procedures and methodology here.
A larger sample size is not inherently better. 1000 isn't much different from 10,000 or 10 million. If the sampling method would be unrepresentative with 1000 cases, it wouldn't be any better with more.
I've played games that let the old content sit untouched.
Hardly anyone played it, so you had to essentially con top level players to milk run you through content to get geared - unlikely in cases where there wasn't already a real-world friendship. Once a game hits that point the influx new players that stick with the game long enough to raid drop to nearly zero, and the game ossifies, then dies. There is no way that it is a "better" solution.

Donnie Yen was probably the best thing in Rogue One. What are you smoking?
Former U.S. President Barack Obama often acts like a knowledgeable leader even when the depth of his knowledge is extremely shallow.
Good thing we've got the new guy. He'd never do that.

doesn't quite follow from these results.
Intelligence may be a factor in achievement (if it exists), but achievement has many other factors - most of them social and contextual.
Because they can clearly only use one or the other.
google doesn't have anything other than incidental pairings of the words quatloo and Akkadian.
To properly understand my post, read it in the voice of John Ratzenberger playing the character Cliff on the US television show Cheers.

In all fairness "my controls are messed up" has been a viable excuse for poor performance since Street Fighter 2 hit the SNES in 1992.
Mod parent up - the MTurk study missed the point by a mile.

So, I haven't been in an IBM content hosting server room in around 13 years, but I think you far underestimate how large they can be.

Clearly no such ban is immanent. That said, prop 8 passed in California with only 52.24% of the vote.
