Use metalized tape. Like the aluminum film stuff you are supposed to use on ducts instead of duct tape.
Serious question - what is that tape called?
Absurdly enough, I have seen it called HVAC Tape. From Duck Tape Brand, of course, for that extra level of sillyness. Apparently this one really is supposed to be used on ducts. I have used it on plenty of things, it works great.
Idiots who shop at Whole Foods would rather a child go blind due to vitamin deficiency rather than allow an evil GMO food to be used. Their suggestion of "they should eat more vegetables" ignores the simple fact that they need the special rice because they don't have access to the fucking vegetables.
Tons of food have been destroyed in Africa because of this ignorance. It's better that people starve rather than risk ingesting a GMO food. What. The. Fuck?
Would rather die from cardio-vascular disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer then?
Spoken like someone that has never gone hungry.
Would I rather die of obesity and heart disease than hunger? Yes, a million times, yes. At least I would have a chance to live. Fuck you to hell for suggesting it is better to let people go blind and starve than be forced to admit the GMO boogeyman isn't as horrible as you want him to sound.
Also, GMO produce is not causing American obesity, or any of the other conditions you are referring to.
But you use the joke as a strawman as to why we should not use technology to solve our problems. Your entire premise is false. Do you have a real reason why we should not use this crop?
Yes, but we're talking about Golden Rice here, which is nothing to do with RoundUp.
Golden Rice has exactly three extra genes in it. The modification made was openly published. Many widely eaten foods already contain the exact same genes The only reason it was added to rice is because that's what these people grow/eat on a daily basis.
We know, but there are so many people out there that think either "GMO = HCFS" or "GMO = Unhealthy" or, my favorite, "GMO = Monsanto" as if they were the only company that uses GMO techniques.
Actually, at this point all I want TEPCO to do is pay for it. I'd rather leave the actual handling to someone more competent.
I don't trust Japan's NRA (Nuclear Regulatory Authority) not to mess that up. The agency was formed in response to Fukushima because the old NSC was so full of revolving-door cronyism that it had to be reformed after allowing the disaster. I have no faith that this new agency is simply a new name on the same corruption.
There was once a common practice of forcing defendants to testify, and adding more charges if they denied guilt and then were found guilty anyways. The Fifth Amendment protects against that practice, and only that practice.
The water will be safe LONG before that. The worst of the stuff in the water has a 30 year half life.
However, simple distillation (noting that simple is a relative term when dealing with radiation at that level) would be a better choice since that would greatly reduce the volume of waste to store.
So, now you want to cook water with radioactive materials in it? Considering TEPCO's safety record with radioactive steam, I know exactly what would happen here. Perhaps there are non-heating ways to distill the water, though.
However some of that radioactive material is tritium, which is nearly impossible to separate from regular water. (Yes, gas vapor centrifuges can probably do it, but not for the amount of water they have to deal with.) Tritium has a half-life of 12ish years, so letting it sit around for a while is still the best way to go.
The real issue is that TEPCO cannot even sit on radioactive material without messing it up, much less run a reactor or cleaning system with moving parts.
Billions on fuel? Kerosene and LOX are not that expensive. There are a lot of other costs than fuel. Getting out of the atmosphere is easy and relatively cheap, getting up to orbital speed is a whole other ballgame.
But when you throw away the fuel tank and rocket motor every time you fly... it is very expensive.
Car analogy time: Rocketry is like buying a new car and wrecking it every time you want to travel to the next city.
When StackOverflow first was launched, you could only log in with OpenID I believe. MyOpenID was one of the more prominent providers, and so there are probably a lot of people that if nothing else still use myOpenID to log in to the realm of StackOverflow sites...
Correct, and correct. It is the only thing I use OpenID for. StackOverflow is adding a way to have an alternate logon, so you can add one before myOpenID goes under for good.
OpenID is a good enough sounding idea, that is relegated to complete failure by providers. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and whatever other big account providers do not accept each other's (or any) OpenID; so you are stuck with separate accounts for everything anyhow.
Worse than this, I have friends that tell me, "Oh no PayPal is fine, just only use it for sending money, not receiving."
No, just no. By supporting them you are helping perpetuate the scam that is PayPal. How do you think they make money? By getting people to use their service.
Stop supporting people that make PayPal possible, and they will disappear.

Paypal froze Notch's account after Mincraft went gold and began selling. Supposedly in just one day he managed to get over one hundred thousand dollars in sales which prompted paypal to freeze his account.
This is thanks to the US patriot act, bank secrecy act and possibly some other nanny state laws. Large transactions are red flagged and reported. The owner of the account must provide an explanation of what they are doing with the money. This is one of those risk mitigation plans we were talking about the other day which helps the US government find the "bad guys". Eventually paypal will unfreeze the account once they learn the money won't be used for terrorism, drugs, racketeering or other boogeyman bullshit. I feel safer already.
As if Paypal unfroze Notch's account out of the goodness of their hearts. No, the only way to get unfrozen is to have a huge crowd of fans making a big stink and generating lots of bad press. Does anyone remember Something Awful's Katrina fund? Paypal will try to steal your money, or at least sit on it for as long as they can to make interest on it. That this is a surprise to anyone is a surprise to me. (yes, that is what I meant to say there)
Nobody could ever agree on a way to measure risk, let alone decide what the biggest risk we can focus on. When asked what the biggest risk is a lot of people would say "teh gays" or "them Mexicans takin our jahbs".
The global supply of laptop cells per year is 18,650? As in... 18,650 laptops are sold per year. Across the planet? That seems implausibly low. Did anyone try applying some common sense to this story?
Also, the number 18,650 does not appear in the linked article anywhere. In fact it mentions that prices have been going down on cells across the board for several quarters now. This is the exact opposite of what would happen during a shortage. My guess is the submitter cartechboy is just making up bullshit or is an idiot, and the "editors" are lazy and did not bother to RTFA.
Usually you can tell a summary is bullshit when it is filled with links that have no relation to the topic in a vain to prove the submitter's theory.

No, this is the USA. Fake guns get you put in jail... but real guns are protected by the constitution and anyone can have as many as they want.

They are the best kind of alien in the gaming universe.
Like the kind that creates video game companies that are actually scams to suck money out of state government?
Maybe. It's RFID based, could be capable of activating all RFID tags in the vehicle, including ones used by shops to track stock.
Why would I need an RFID enabled cup or cupholder?
I think I speak for everyone here when I say... this
I did not get past the few few lines; but all I saw was a guy bitching about liberals, and nothing to do with the actual article.

PH of a very acidic soda = 2.522, PH of stomach acid = 1.35
Don't blame the soda for having an acidic stomach.
If you drink something acidic, the total acidity level of your stomach will be more than if you drink water.

Shit man, that was 14 years ago. You know, when they started abusing accounts under protection of "not a bank".
Nobody could ever agree on a way to measure risk, let alone decide what the biggest risk we can focus on. When asked what the biggest risk is a lot of people would say "teh gays" or "them Mexicans takin our jahbs".
I assume the connection was intentional.
