I don't think they have any usefulness... they don't have any electronic parts, batteries, or such - they use a paper card to "select" what you are searching for - it's basically a plastic handle with a metal antenna not connected to anything. It's a divining rod, and that's all.
I think the buyers should have realized something was fishy when the manufacturer said they were powered by static electricity of the user "walking around."
You don't need to worry about spares - when you break down you just write a letter with what parts you need and when and send it to yourself in care of Western Union with instructions to deliver it before you leave. Like that episode of Quantum Leap where Sam and Al switched during the leap and the door was shut - the second they dropped the letter into the mailbox the door opened. Makes logistics that much easier:)
For military vehicles, it's measured in Watts - or absorbed power at the driver station (after passing the acceleration through a filter representing a human). So basically short duration accelerations are tolerable, but many of these drive up the absorbed power. Using absorbed power as a metric, you can then measure the impact of the suspension quantitatively as done here.
In my case I WAS being lied to. We watched the local garbage collection truck pick up our garbage, dump it in the truck, then pick up our recycle container and dump it in the same truck. We stopped bothering after that.
Since the U.N. already named an Alien Ambassador it seems logical that there should be some sort of organization to track all the visitors - besides the Men in Black, that is.
Um, S-Mart is a big store. They don't have aisles, they have isles - you get a small motorboat when you enter instead of a cart to get to all the different isles. Duh.
But at least I didn't have to worry about it reporting status to some outside observer - imagine walking into a store...
"Welcome to S-Mart, sir - by the way, your underwear is reporting a slight stretching in the elastic - you may want to visit isle 3 and pick up some new ones. Oh, and we're having a special on weight-loss products in isle 5..."
From the same Article:
"The court also limited its decision, ruling that users could not be expected to constantly update their wireless connection's security — they are only required to protect their Internet access by setting up a password when they first install it."
Which means my kids' normal order at McDonald's falls well within this limit (according to the nutrition info at the restaurant): Chicken nuggets, 190 calories, Apple Dippers, 35 calories, choc. milk, 170 calories for a total of 395 calories. Notice the nuggets have barely more calories than the milk...
I miss my cloth maps of Britannia, my microscopic space fleets, my peril-sensitive sunglasses, and Max Payne mouse pads (still in use to this day).
And the humor in the original Fallout and Fallout 2 manuals was priceless. For Fallout 3 I had to go online to figure out how to turn on the flashlight for my XBOX copy. Sad.
What's better is going to see the movie in the theater and being able to sit through the entire showing in one sitting, without having to pause it to take care of crying babies, requests for drinks of water, wandering 4-year-olds, and barking dogs.
We have 4 kids and getting away every now and then to the theater together is much preferred. Otherwise it takes us 3 hours to get through a 2 hour movie.
That was done with one fluid, and looked at the shape of the "empty" space at the bottom of the bucket - the article also states that the researcher didn't think it would apply to large bodies like planets, but possibly for small bodies like tornadoes. This recent experiment used a base fluid rotating at one speed and a "disk" to rotate a subset fluid at a higher rate, simulating jet streams - seems much more relevant than the previous experiment, IMO.
Which is why I always chose Communism - I could war with my neighbors without having congress sue for peace (and right before I was going to take their capital...)
Public schools don't want to kick students out. Federal funding is determined in part by the number of students enrolled, thus more students equals more funding. That's why they want your kids to go to school regardless of health on the "federal counting days". From what I've seen, they're more interested in passing kids along regardless of performance than kicking kids out (this from a father with two in school right now...)
nebulizer
Variant: or British nebuliser/-"lI-z&r/
Function: noun
: ATOMIZER; specifically : an atomizer equipped to produce an extremely fine spray for deep penetration of the lungs
I use one. It takes a while to get used to, but you can flavor it any way you want and after using it consistently for a day "analog" cigs taste pretty bad. The main issue is keeping the atomizer clean (it gets build-up and starts tasting funny). Other than that, what you get is a device that gives you vaporized nicotine in a similar method as cigarettes, without tar or other chemicals. It's basically the same as an nebulizer with nicotine. You can vary the nicotine level, eventually moving down to zero.
The only issue is, in my opinion, it's not really a stop smoking aid, it's really a smoking replacement. And you have to make sure you keep your batteries charged - a dead battery will lead right back to a cigarette.
Our justice system is built on the premise that it is better to let 10 guilty people go free than to punish one innocent person.
So, something like 9% of prisoners in jail being innocent is a good target? I believe the quote you were referring to was actually:
Isn't that what the OP said? He's not saying 1 in 10 people in jail are innocent and that's a good target, he's saying it's better that 10 guilty people go free than have 1 innocent person locked up... your reply confuses me...
Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer
- English jurist William Blackstone, from a UCLA page
Which is stupid. There should be no innocent people in jail. Period. People spend their lives in prison for crimes they didn't commit, because the legal system is mass producing justice. It's not good.
Again, even with your quote, isn't it saying there should be no innocent people in jail, period? You call the quote stupid and then agree with it - again, I'm confused. Perhaps I didn't get enough sleep last night...

Brendan Greene created the original ARMA 2 mod based on the film Battle Royale, then went to work for Bluehole to create PUBG - so yeah, they did.
In Michigan it is illegal for an automotive manufacturer to own a dealership corporation - so this wouldn't get around the current law.

Ridiculize - I like that. That's an awesome new word. I'm going to start using it rediculizingly frequently.

Now I have to worry about my underwear invading my privacy too? That's it, game over.

And I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

Bloated code - I think they may be able to skip "4" and go straight from "3" to "5".
