The mass media likes to equate hoverboards with magnetic levitation. That might be the case if the boards only worked over special magnetic rails, or at least conductive surfaces. If you want a freely moving vehicle, like a hovercraft without all the noise and the rubber flaps, think plasma levitation.
My issues aren't moral in the sense of animal rights, but environmental. Meat is a resource hog, so I consume less to, well, consume less. Unless there's a breakthrough, I would imagine that I'll continue to focus on making the ingredients stand on their own, as opposed to matching something they are not.
My thoughts exactly. I'm more interested in energy and environment than the flora-fauna division, and I think free-range fish is better than anything that comes from heavy production farming. I also don't see much point in emulating things I want to avoid.
This. A lot of people are vegetarians for ethical reasons (e.g. sustainability and energy conservation, not just tree hugging and cute animals). They don't need constant reminders of the negative associations they have with meat. They also don't believe that meat is the one true food that other foods should emulate.
How about fish? Yes, it's kind of meat and it's in the animal kingdom, but there are plenty of reasons to eat fish over other kinds of meat. You also get a pretty good meaty texture, although it varies quite a lot between species.
Art in Finnish is "taide", related to "taito" meaning skill. Similarly, science is "tiede" related to "tieto", knowledge. In my understanding, the English "art" is more vague in the sense that it can mean "skill" without the special esthetic connotations, as in "the art of circuit design".
Danske is infamous for rewriting their online banking system as a Java applet around 2008. Standard https security wasn't enough so they decided to roll their own. I switched to another bank before the update took place, and pretty soon other people left the bank in hordes. They later returned to https, but the damage to reputation was already done.
I've built a number of skeleton cases from Lego Technic pieces. I once managed to melt a piece -- a rubber tire that was used as a padding under a GPU (connected with an extender cable). Only noticed it due to the odd smell around it. Not exactly my most awesome hack, but I feel for everyone who worries about such issues due to being cheap. I've upped my standards since, and I now use real computer cases found from dumpsters (with mostly useless hardware inside).
You don't have to talk to people when you're playing music with them.
Introversion isn't simply about not talking to people. Being in a public, social setting takes its toll in similar ways -- keeping your game face on, and not being yourself in many other ways. It's true that making music gets you into that geek mode even if it's with other people, but in a band/theatre you have lots of intense interactions with people you wouldn't have when simply hanging out with them.
Being an introvert does not mean you hide in your room, hate people and avoid talking to everyone.
I consider myself quite introverted, but some of my favourite hobbies are theatre and music (like playing in a band), which are rather social activities. I'm interested in things rather than people, but it turns out some of these things are best done with other people. The main difference is when others go to a bar after the day's rehearsals; I generally can't join them as I've already exhausted my social quota for the day.
In fact, I do have some social needs, but I find these are best served by actually doing something interesting with people. Simply hanging out is just boring, unless it's in a small group of sufficiently close and interesting people. Then you can basically stay in an introverted mode.

And just to anticipate the obvious reply: yes, I'm afraid it would be full of electric eels.

Well, I thought it was obvious. First, go to your nearest poultry farm...
McAffee is ... using his money to sleep with women 40 years younger than him.
What's wrong with that, other than your personal morals?
Linux is better because it had the 20 years ago today moment over 4 years ago.
Beer is quantized. One can only drink integer multiples of a crate.

Shameless plug: Is mathematics art? See sig...
For the sake of the mental health of people like me, please stick with the .bro extension.
That's the hardware you need to crack the combination to my luggage!

So... does this mean I learned binary for nothing?
Sometimes it does mean that and sometimes it doesn't mean that.
Are you Shor?
I can see how that would count as a hardware hack, but I hope you didn't damage any essential components. Or have you moved on to software business?

Any number of Pounds Per Inch would actually create a ginormous pressure, given the infinitesimal area of one inch.
Yes, its animated version is better known as Multi Image Lossless Format.
For animations.

To put this in computing terms, it's all about cache locality and the cost of I/O. It also applies to large organizations of people.
This. The problem looks like it could be straight from Project Euler.
if each generation exercised their right to bear arms, eventually the trait would be passed on to future generations.
