To the person who down modded the above post. You do realise that it was posted nearly two weeks prior to your brilliant example of moderation? You are typical of the brain dead mainstream user of/. lately. I really wish this site was the same as it used to be ten years or so ago.
As a criminal I resent that. Many criminals have standards and would not touch banking, insurance or politics as a career. Stealing from any of those three is quite acceptable.
You are so wrong it isn't funny. I know several high functioning Heroin addicts who do not blow all their money on their drug of choice. One of them owns and runs a company of over 500 employees.
I have a very dodgy Internet connection and when I start steam up with no connection it will ask if I want to start the client in offline mode. I definitely do not have to go online to tell it I want to play in offline mode.
Moving energy around through ships and pipelines would be akin to the internet running through a "vast network of little tubes."
1. The existing electrical grid has sufficient capacity to power both houses and vehicles for the foreseeable future.
No it doesn't.
2. Edison and Tesla argued strenuously over the advantages and disadvantages of AC vs DC for power transmission. Edison opted for DC, but lost handily because AC can be stepped up and down with transformers and is much easier to handle than DC..
Have you got a big brain?
Resistance loss happens regardless of DC vs AC. Both are subject to Ohm's law, E=IR. Voltage equals Current times Resistance, so the voltage drop across any conductor is equal to the current traveling through it times its resistance..
OMG it must be a very big brain
Energy loss in conductors is far less than the energy required to transport a similar amount using trucks, pipelines, or ships, and even that is improving as we develop better and better conductors, and eventually, superconductors which will have no loss at all.
They can get away with it for one or two generations, but then people will start to catch on, and the portion who aren't ok with planned obsolescence will quit buying.

I resemble that remark
You just aren't getting punched enough are you? I mean in the face.
I think you will find people like me who will remove your glasses for you and crush them if they feel you aren't respecting them.

is that a sillimeter?
I can recommend that you DO NOT shine your shoes before taking a plane as shiny shoes register as explosives.

Someone should really go check on those guys...
I suspect they are on their private yachts. They didn't actually make anything but the IPO was a hoot.
LOL. He said dongle.
I knew I shouldn't look. Why? Oh God why?

Lots of people leave their computers on 24/7. Just run the miner while it is idle.
there is no empirical evidence of a link between deflation and depression.
never had to take Viagra have you?

Where I live it is 1 in 384 people for Heroin and I guarantee the number is higher than that.

Your comments often send me back to my books. Thank you.
All stations have LPG in Australia and have had it for possibly two decades or more.
