Well, when we started this moral crusade to stop people smoking we didn't expect them to come up with an alternative so now we have to start the demonising program again, oh well at least it will easier to switch the smoking association over so its better than starting at scratch:|
Just because you don't feel in danger or under threat doesn't mean you're safe. A plane could crash on your house, you could have brain aneurism, you could squeeze too hard, pop an artery and bleed out right into the bowl. Not that any of those things are likely to happen but people die all the time in all kinds of ways.
Might be owned and operated in America maybe. Do you know for sure that all the owners and operators are American, for this and all other 'American websites'. Nope, a website is a website and it's on the web. Physical location is ultimately meaningless online except to the media companies who believe in region locking and as this site isn't region locked it's just a website in English.
I always wondered how everyone understood measurements given by the UK show Top Gear when they talk about miles, miles per hour and horsepower. Not to mention pints.
Because they're the only ones we do like that because reasons. Pints is only beer and milk though.
Bollocks. No decimal needed for general temperature readings. Practically all forecasts give temp in Celsius in whole numbers unless it's specialised. Also Celsius is based on something familiar to everyone. Water boils at 100 freezes at 0, easy. Anyone can tell you 7 is cold and 70 is hot. What does Fahrenheit relate to? Who knows?
But Apple doesn't undercut its competitors. The only time I've ever seen them "cheaper" than anyone else is if they're first to market with some chipset and there is nothing else to make a direct comparison with. Once there is a competitor they are cheaper and usually by a substantial margin.
Just imagine they did that and a competitor came out that cost more. They'd have to put their prices up to compensate.
Forget electric cars, what they wanna be doing is make a smart gun linked to a specific user(s). They'll love it, they can link to to the smart watch somehow and give people a reason to get one of them too. Make it that nice grey and stick the apple logo on it. Propriety ammunition, all movement contained within the shell, who cares if it shoots as far or as fast it'll make a killing...literally.
I generally have always thought Apple had a good vision on the future. But since the death of Steve Jobs Apple has taken some rather empty dead end roads.
The creation of a Apple designed electric vehicle is another road less traveled in my opinion. I cannot imagine Apple creating an affordable car for the masses like for example the iPhone. For one, they have absolutely no current support structure for any vehicle and just because your a technology company. Doesn't mean you know how to do vehicles. Even Tesla is finding out how difficult it is to make cars, and sell, service, and deal with liability and safety. Apple most likely will end up way late to the game in EV vehicles, and it appears to be a distraction rather than a serious attempt at entering a EV market that is already shrinking. Some big auto makers have already reduced development in EVs or have decided to market them in only certain markets. Apple may simply be trying to convince everyone it can do something more than fancy tech devices.
No doubt they'll end up realising they've bitten off more than they can chew and end up just licensing designs so EV's can demand a premium by having an apple logo on it, despite the door handles being under the car or some shit.
When full grants and bursaries were a thing (in the uk). Then those who benefited most from them took them away. When I did uni it was after that, but it cost ~£1000 a year. That was around '05. This year they are going for £9000+. That's just tuition. I got a loan for the full amount and grant for about the same. I probably got around the same debt in my whole time there as someone going today would pick up by the first year before they've even though about where to live and what to eat.
I hate all rice niggers and curry niggers. I hate faggots, too. But I'm not a bigot and I'm not racist. There's nothing bigoted or racist in this post, either.
Seriously, fuck off with that shit. I'm not being offensive but you really are a vile cunt.
The Hercules H-4 "Spruce Goose" (Hughes never liked that nickname) is not amphibious, it was a pure seaplane, while this Chinese aircraft is amphibious and it is the largest of its type.
Thats why the summary starts with "China has completed production of the world's largest amphibious aircraft"...
Fascinating. The moderators have downmodded all of the posts using the word 'nigger' because it's an ethnic slur. However, the post in between uses 'cracker', which is also an ethnic slur, and hasn't been downmodded. Apparently if you use ethnic slurs for blacks, it's not tolerated. However, it looks like moderators are okay with ethnic slurs for whites. It appears that the moderators are racist.

I don't think "doping" was covered by "politics", as AFAIK politicians don't use performance enhancing drugs.
Maybe it's time they start.
Get this horrible chemical out of our water!
Definitely USA centric for sure, still is but then just as now it's accessible the world over and is just a website.

I'm not sure what your point is. So you call a bum bag a fanny pack and autumn fall. It's still the same language, hence we understand each other.
He could die walking to the shop or taking a shit too. Life is a dangerous game.
As I am from the UK, yeah. American English is just a few different spellings. Hardly it's own language.

We are becoming acclimatized to colonizing Venus, the Space Nutters will be pleased. Next step, breathing CO2 at 90 times Earth pressure.
Wanna move to Venus? Cloud cities!
Thanks....59C means absolutely nothing to me....I was about to have to go look this up on a google conversion....PITA.
'Murica! Fuck yeah! (roll eyes)
Oh, I assumed he was from Belize.

That's 129.2F if you're interested.
Or 327.15 K if you care.
This is an American site dipshit.
No such thing fuckhead. Just what language a site is in (American isn't a language). The web is its own thing.

Basically, I envision a tesla that doesn't go as far or as fast but looks really nice and cost a good bit more.

In theory.
