All I know is that spheres are a lot more stable, but less fun that wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff. Interestingly though, it looks as though the weird shapes may be more stable than spheres.
So put your hands up if you’re not to drunk to stand up, If you bombing up the toilets put your man up, And put your can up spray it in the air mate, Check out my man, fuck its all going pear shaped
I'm not certain about this, but I'd guess that they're not selling stuff that they find laying around in the alley behind their apartment. Buying the stuff that they then sell is rather important to running a business.
Calling him "Cueball" and her "Megan" seems to be the way ExplainXKCD narrates the comics. The man with no hair isn't referred to by name in any comic, but the female character is often referred to as Megan. They loosely represent Randall and his girlfriend (wife now?) What I'm trying to say is don't read too much into it, it's just shorthand for "the guy" and "the girl".
I think there was an old Batman platformer, where if the game detected a crack one of the jumps toward the end (which was already pushing the limits of what you could do) was pushed out ever so slightly so there was no way you could finish it.
People get too hung up on the "chemicals" side of this. Sure, they put a few additives in there to keep it all flowing smoothly, but there's nothing to get excited about.
The problem with frakking is that we really don't have any way of predicting exactly where the rocks will fracture. You just pump water down there and hope for the best. If we can work out some way to analyse the structure and frack in such a way that we get the oil, but don't breach groundwater tables or the surface then we'll be golden. Until we can do that, though, it's not really safe enough to do on the scale we're currently seeing.
Sometimes I think people are just trolling/. by posting random letters that look like physics, then I spend some time on Wikipedia and realise how little I know.
There's no reason to assume that the battery can't be mounted in such a way as to be easily swappable. You might not get your minimum-wage gas station attendant to do it, but you can spend a bit of money on someone who knows what they're doing and still be ahead of gas. It's all just chicken/egg shit - not enough people to make battery-swapping stations economical, not enough battery-swapping stations to make people want electric cars.
So... we wait until society's about to collapse, then do everything we've been waiting to do. I think that if you tried that, the waiting around would be one of the major contributors to the collapse.
The sibling post made the point about finding replacement parts for when things die. That was always my motivation for a complete system upgrade - something dieing and needing to be replaced without me digging deep enough to find something that would work with the old system.
Secondly, some things do need to be connected to the internet. Sure you can make an internal network, but what if you need to connect to another doctor's office? What if you need to connect to any other doctor using the same software?
Just because the example in the summary is a medical example doesn't mean that they're the only types of software that are expansive. I use some $20k/seat engineering software that isn't certified by anybody except me knowing what it's doing and putting my own name to it. Stop looking for big-government boogey men under every bed.
If the officer in question gave out 0 tickets in a month, it's probably because he was sleeping the whole time. If we ever get to the fantasy land where a policeman could go a month without seeing any infractions I'll worry about what would happen to him.
I was almost with you up until that last sentence...
I agree that most of the money for the F-22 and F-35 has already been spent and we can't get it back. But that doesn't mean we need to keep throwing money at it. Will a fleet of 500 raptors do something for us that a fleet of 170 won't?
As for the constitution, the first sentence includes the phrase "promote the general welfare" amongst the things the federal government is there to do. Whereas the constitution only authorizes an army and a navy, so if anything in this discussion is unconstitutional it's the air force and the new jets.

Couldn't be!
Bear in mind that this is a Dutch project. A country with coasts roughly 31.2 km apart...
Because of course the USA is the only country in the world with coasts...
Who?

I first read that as a temperature controlled clean-room lavatory, and thought that it would probably be a very relaxing place.
Don't file it there, more water will condense on to the water that's already there. It's still a first world problem.
For your death you just need to use the all the electrodes at once. Does Counterstrike support getting shot in the balls?
4) Because it costs the other person to send something back, they don't send useless messages and most of the time just a message where we can meet.
Basically he's saying that if you want to talk to someone, actually talk to them.
But, it must have been the first website for the guy who made it.

Why do you have a captcha if you're logged in?

On the off chance you're not trolling:

These long, thought out and well articulate arguments are why I come to /. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the situation now.
It's the softer, more refined 'vette. For the peopl who want to go fast, but not so fast that they aren't comforable.
