    I was referring to my father's motorcycle collection, ranging from 1954 to 1985, most of which are two-strokes. When learning to ride I was riding a 175cc two-stroke to commute and blew out the piston. On analysis my dad said it was most likely due to the modern gas mixture.

    It also damages two-stroke engines.

    I believe many of them have MEMS inertial sensors and can navigate fairly well without any GPS. I know some missiles operate that way at least.

    Inflation should be measured by the cost of living. The only reason it isn't is to try to make people feel better.

    I took my family to a Chili's last week, and they now have a touch screen pad on the table. It performs some of the tasks of the server, allowing them to employ fewer servers.

  24. Re:Sounds like an episode of Doomsday Preppers on DoD Declassifies Flu Pandemic Plan Containing Sobering Assumptions · · Score: 1

    Not sure if you have ever had really really nasty flu, but I have. I did not eat one bite for 6 days and a small kitten could have protected anything from me. I could just barely move to go take a piss.

    Believe me, I've been there. I've also been infected by people who were not showing symptoms.

  25. Re:Sounds like an episode of Doomsday Preppers on DoD Declassifies Flu Pandemic Plan Containing Sobering Assumptions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have non-adults in my family. If I want to protect them during an epidemic, that means keeping the infected away by any means necessary. There's also the likelihood of violent scavengers in the event our precarious food distribution system shuts down, as would happen if areas are quarantined. So instead of violent and infectious undead breaking into the house looking for something to eat, it would be violent and infectious fevered and desperate people, probably armed, breaking into the house looking for something to eat.
