TFineA addresses this issue: the company they profile currently makes most of their sales to Vegas shows, professional wrestling events, and rock concerts, where you do in fact have people in a confined space breathing the fumes and exposed to particulates night after night after night. The other big market is the military, for signal flares and training aids. Again, fairly regular exposure.
Finally most houses are designed to have their windows shaded more or have an oblique incidence in summer time.
You must not be living in the same country I am, where subdivisions are popped up with no consideration for water flow and spring flood levels much less the direction of the sunlight and prevailing winds. Where is your haven of sensible design, I'd like to look into moving there some day.

My city allows bike riding on the sidewalks outside of the well-defined downtown core, which is nice as there are a number of one way streets that are perfectly fine for cars but rather inconvenient for bikes.
That said, I ride in traffic and signal my turns. I've only been screamed at or had things thrown at me from inside cars on three occasions in a year.. and last week somebody shot at me from their apartment window with an airsoft gun. That was new and different, though they only had a 20% hit rate.
a) I think you didn't look at the pictures. It's currently a breadbox on tank treads- no uncanny valley issues there.
b) Surely it could just beep and boop, if it wasn't directly transmitting human voices? Everyone's seen Star Wars- if you made it sound like R2 I don't think anyone would interpret it as patronizing.
Thanks! I looked it up too, but didn't get quite as much shading from the definitions and (translated) context as I'd hoped for. Maybe we do need to borrow it..

If some complete stranger I'm never going to see again is laughing behind me on the train, why should I care even if it IS about me? Seems like it would be their problem, not mine.
This bill is something the senator introduced at the request of his constituents, and would apply only to Kentucky residents. The way he was quoted in the original story makes it clear that he thinks it's hairbrained, unlikely to pass, sure to be shot down if it is, and he won't vote for it. Don't go beating up on the guy for trying to appease his constituency- for all I know, one of them is my grandmother-in-law, and I've certainly said any number of things to get her to stop pestering me.

Oh, I'm not saying it's not an advantage. Pastured livestock is the only way to survive in a lot of marginal habitat and is often better in terms of maintaining a biome than for that habitat to be left completely untouched, especially in areas where we've killed off all the native herbivores.
That's why so many are allergic to milk products. They cannot digest them without the normally included enzymes.
Cats fed only store bought, processed milk do not thrive and have reproductive difficulties within two or fewer generations. You can read about a summary of this here.
These two items are related, but not in the way you're implying; humans that have lactose intolerance, along with all cats, simply lack the mutation that allows them to produce lactase beyond the period of normal weaning. That is to say, milk-drinking humans are mutants who have managed to adapt to nursing from some other animal's teat for their entire lives. The presence or absence of milk enzymes is not going to be enough to compensate for a complete lack of an enzyme in a person's gut. It might make a small difference in marginal cases, such as biracial black/white children.
Your link to the cat study is also useless in supporting your point, because the doctor was already feeding the cats raw milk. The difference was between the cooked and uncooked meat scraps, as far as I can tell. Possibly a taurine deficiency. It also fails to mention whether the cats in the experimental groups were fed raw or cooked meat scraps, which would be important in determining the root cause.
My partner presented his passport as ID during the last election and it was rejected, though with a slightly better justification than your wife apparently got- a passport is valid for ten years, so there's no way to be sure that the address listed in the passport is still your current address and that you are actually eligible to vote in a given precinct. Of course, they then shot that little bit of credibility in the foot by accepting his even older, expired state driver's license permit. *rolls eyes* As he was digging through his wallet they told us they'd take a credit card as evidence, and those of course don't even have photos OR addresses on them! I'm not sure what it was that finally worked, or if it was the sum total of all the documents we produced that all had the same picture and address on them.
I think that was the point. Windows in particular is bad about showing you there's something there but not telling you what it is or how to make it visible.
Oh, that's awesome! I love the map best, I think.. though Napoleon is definately up there. Thanks for finding me something to look at while scanning papers for work.
Sommelier is a wine waiter, usually only found at fairly posh restaurants. They tend to provide advice on food/wine pairings, to the point of specific vintages and vineyards, and are supposed to be able to tell you what to expect in a particular wine. They tend to the cellaring and corking of the restaurant's collection, and head sommeliers are expected to be able to judge the demand for a particular wine on a particular day so that they open enough bottles at the correct times for each wine to have 'breathed' enough to be at it's best for service.
That's what I've read, anyway. My funding situation doesn't allow me to eat at places nice enough to have sommeliers separate from the regular waitstaff.

In all, some interesting chemistry.

I personally prefer to get venison steaks off my deer, not 50-50 ground and stew meat. :)

Apparently no Romanian meal is complete without a dessert! (I was really hoping they had sand tarts in Romania, but no such luck..)

That is just great :)

Last I checked this still wasn't wikipedia (thank $god), so really, who cares?

Mod this up, please. I'd do it, but haven't got points today.

But maybe I'm a sociopath and didn't know it.

This was the original story. Replying to myself, yeah I know.. but I didn't have the link yet for my prior post.

You get a full month? Must be nice.

I was planning on buying a couple of U2 albums this Friday when I got paid, but you know what? Screw them.
