It's pretty sure refrigerators would be even cheaper, more efficient and larger than they are today if CFCs had not been banned, because the part of the total effort spent on refrigerators that has been spent in finding (ways to use) a replacement coolant has not been spent on lowering price, efficiency or increasing size.
The very first thing I do on newly acquired devices is to rob them of their virginity by breaking the seal. The sooner it's over and done, the better. It also seems to make them more resilient too.
Let me blow your mind some more. I visited Siberia when the iron curtain was still drawn down. Common people living in Siberia (Irkutsk, Bratsk) were much happier and enjoyed more amenities such as good food and leisure activities than moskovites. If anything, Irkutsk almost felt like a Swiss village. I understand things have changed for the worse since then.
Probably dichroid instead of polarized glasses, like those used by Dolby3D.
The first time I put them on I thought they were cheap green/red glasses because the light from a fixture was green in one eye and red in the other. It turned out that the fluorescent lighting in the multiplex just had red and green emission lines that matched the left and right filter ranges. Because quality full spectrum lighting is virtually dead nowadays (thanks so much, ecofascists !) the dichroid glasses will always appear somewhat tinted.
It must be difficult to make a profit on selling volts, because you never know how many ampères your customers are going to pull and for how long. Now, selling joules, or watts by the hour, seems a better business model to me.
...to where you don't need to be. The modal switches needed to get from your departure point to the railway station and from the end station to your destination are killing transit time.
My former boss was a public transport fanatic. In order to get to out customers he preferred to
drive from his home to the local station (leaving his 80k$ car in an unattended parking)
wait 10 minutes
train to regional train station (or local airport)
wait 20 minutes (or 1h)
2h high speed train (or 1/2h flight) to capital
walk briskly to metro station for 10 minutes
hurry up and wait 10 minutes
take metro to central metro hub, standing squeezed between assorted people
jump out and run to other track
jump into second metro while the doors were closing
ride metro, again standing squeezed between assorted people
walk briskly to bus stop for 5 minutes
wait for 10 minutes
ride bus (seated, for a change)
walk briskly in the drizzle for 10 minutes from the bus stop to the customer
while I was tagging along carrying 30 pounds of diagnostic equipment. Nice. Very nice.
For the next visits I got in my car and drove from my garage straight to the visitor's parking spot. Less hassle, faster, cheaper and infinitely more comfortable.
You can have your f*cking public transport and eat it too.

It's too bad it doesn't get dark until after my kid's bed time
I'm still raving mad at my father that he didn't let me watch the Apollo 11 / Eagle landing because it was past my bed time, in the middle of the summer holiday. I don't know how old your kid is, but missing some sleep is not going to haunt him for life.
By physically poorer I mean having to live with more physical constraints and restrictions. The fact that emissions and mpg become ever more important and that there's less room on the road are indications of that. Were it not, and were the Dodge, MB and Golf available today in a new state, with the same (easily upgraded) mod cons, which one would you prefer ?
I remember three expositions from a class trip ages ago to the Evoluon: a spiral spring made of glass that was continuously compressed and relaxed, a radar that measured the speed of your hand and The Device That Said Poffee.
Cool! I didn't know about that, or I've forgotten it (unlikely). Of course, once you think about how matrix multiplication is defined as adding product terms, it's quite logical that you can do addition by multiplication. This doesn't work with simple scalars.
I have a feeling that sooner or later a victim of the practices of the RIAA (or their ilk) might be going Joseph Stack on them, for lack of a better option.

The penultimate alarmist proposition: d(d(d(d(dT/dt)/dt)/dt)/dt)/dt > 0.

Let's talk GGW instead - gynekogenic global warming.
Last time I checked the atmosphere is not poisonous to humans :)
And even if we were to burn all obtainable carbon at once, the CO2 concentration would still be several times below poisonous levels.

For which location do you want that question answered ? Will Soviet Russia do ?
SARS, DDT, H1N5, CFC, SO2, WMD, CAGW, Y2K, MMR VAX ... the list goes on and on and on.

Inline counter-rotating... hmm, propably not too efficient.
Here you go.
That's what she said...
I'm afraid this will happen to France's TGV some day because it's so simple and there is a lot of disgruntled youth in the banlieues.
Explosives are not even required: a simple derailing device can send the TGV running off the track down whatever is below the bridge at 300km/h.

Cool car. Shows how progress really isn't and how we're gradually getting poorer physically.

No, you're doing it wrong: solving P!=NP for N gives N=(P-1)!
I don't know what the value of Profit is, but if larger than 10, Profit! will be sizeable. So let's start working on Step #3.
Thanks - learned something new today.

A typo ? Did they mean 0x20E5 maybe ? No, it was an intentional quote from a non-peer reviewed WWF pamphlet intended to 'raise awareness'.
And cry me a river, very few scientists are settled in their parents' basement, unpaid. Most are on the payroll of institutions or bureaucracies.
Finally, don't bother recalibrating, it's beyond repair.
