  1. Re:now they are nazis on Israeli Army Retweeting 1967 War As It Happened · · Score: 1

    My high school English teacher once told me that when you die you come back as the type of person you hate the most. Under this belief most jews probably were nazis in the previous life.
    Personally, from that day onwards I decided that I hate rich people. Just in case.

    The way I understand it is: Strong 1, weak 1, weak 0 and strong 0.
    In normal binary, if 1 was North and 0 was South then quantum would have North, North-East, South and South-East, or something along those lines. I'm not even sure it's even limited to four.
    This may help.

    The Shelf-life of beer depends on the alcohol content. Stronger beer lasts longer. Homebrew tends to have a higher alcohol content than commercial beers, especially if you pull the double fermentation trick (add more sugar after 6 weeks and wait another 6 weeks).

    Beer only keeps about eight to twelve months. Properly stored [whole] grain can keep for decades, possibly even centuries under the right conditions.

    My Pyrenean is now 11 years old and will be dead in less than a month. He's 83cm at the shoulder and is very very fat, weighing 70kgs. He's a wonderful dog and I am going to miss him.
    Some background info on Pyreneans: They were bred to guard livestock in the Pyrenean mountains. There are records of them taking on bears one on one. They could just barely win a fight with a bear if they had a spiked collar to protect their throat. Of course afterwards the dog wouldn't survive for very long either. The French royalty somehow got hold of the breed and bred them to guard their royalty, giving them a most wonderful temperament in the process.
    I second Parent in the Teddybear aspect. They are an very intelligent breed of dog and will unfortunately question nonsense orders.
    I would highly recommend this breed to anyone, provided they have somewhere to take them on long walks.

    Also, Parent: Be sure to introduce the livestock as friends before turning them loose on the land, unless you want freshly slaughtered 'intruders' on your hands!

    Mechs run off a large water-powered fusion reactor, but I'm sure the UN will allow the use of enriched unranium power plants in these things, especially when their headquarters surrounded by a full star of 100-ton Assault Mechs.

  12. Re:A very unusual toad on Artificial Misting System Allows Reintroduction of Extinct Toad · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not strictly true.
    The dense vegetation makes it implausible for the frogs to communicate by hand signals alone. Rather it is thought they use a mix of body language and ultrasonic sound over a short distance in order to communicate.
    The Ultrasonic part is only a guess as the middle part of the frogs ear is not air-filled, and the inner part of the ear does not seem to be connected to any outer surface of the frog. This can be tested, but the scientists can't exactly vivisect a critically-endangered animal, so they have to guess.

    Something like that is actually used in hybrid vehicles to regenerate the battery. it's called Regenerative Braking. Using it like you suggest would be like driving with the handbrake on. Also remember that recapturing energy like this is very inefficient, therefore you are better off generating electricity directly from the engine.
