"They put fluoride in tap water, not bottled water."
But who drinks tap water? You brush your teeth with it, shower with it, and use it to do the laundry, but you wouldn't drink it. (unless you have a filter)
If theres Floride in drinking water wouldn't it have to be listed on the label of the bottle?
And you can buy distilled water in gallons for about the same price as drinking water. 89c or so.
I know there are some people that don't buy bottled water, instead they have a reverse osmosis filter. I think that removes floride and cloride and other salts...
"So where it takes light 5000 years to travel a distance, the Voyager would take only 90 years That means Voyager speed is: 5000 / 90 * lightspeed = warp 55.5!"
In the Original Star Trek, "warp Factor" is cubed to give the equivalent in light speed. Thus the original 1701 Enterprise could travel 64 times lightspeed at Warp 4
By the time we get to Voyager (and presumably TNG as well) Warp 10 seems to be nearly infinite speed, and they could have got home from the Delta Quadrant fairly quickly if the could achieve Warp 10. Tom Parris and B'Elanna Torres were working on using the Delta flyer to fly ahead of Voyager to lessen the shockwave or something like that. Oh and of coure reconfigure the main deflector to emit a reverse tachyon pulse etc
I haven't worn a (wrist) watch for decades When you have to do frequent hand washing (in the last 35 years I have been employed in the meat industry, food industry, childcare and elder care) its not worth the hassle. Of course I gave up Apple in 1988
A few decades ago, before global warming became popular, there was El Nino and La Nina - depending on whereabouts in the Pacific the warm surface water was located. And before that, the meteorologists refered to "the southern oscillation"

"Britain's M2 was operational for a few years before it sank in the mid-20s."
And there was the French boat Surcouf, which had a seaplane hanger and 2 8 inch guns. I think it was rammed by accident and sunk in WWII
Of course in both of those cases the seaplane was just for recon, not a strike weapon.

"(ACARA) plans to start marking two-to-three page written components of the test using cognitive computing from 2017."
They're using software that was written a couple of years in the future...
Anyway my nephew Eli is into that sort of thing, but I don't know if he reads /. these days

"a bright region near Pluto's visible pole"
But how do they know its ice? It could be frozen CO2, Nitrogen, methane, or some other gas.
Pluto is pretty damn cold.
If we are thining about terraforming Pluto, I propse we send the IAU there to warm it up with their hot air.
Yeah, you'd think it would be molten rock at that depth, unlikely for any life-as-we-know-it-Jim
I don't drink substantial amounts of water, my standard drink is 50% Gatorade, 50% Mt Dew Throwback.

I guess the government needs to do something about this
So why not drink it through a straw...
Anyway AFAIK the "juice of Saphoo" was only in the film, not in the original book.
Although I haven'y read the Brian Herbert written prequels...
the customers (snail mail spammers) pay for this?

"NIH syndrome, a Google specialty."
What has the National Institute of Health have to do with it.
(Although I'm guessing Rick Perry will abolish it if he becomes President)
I don't know how much good it will do to listen to a 'local' radio station since most of the time its just a recording anyway.
What you need to listen to is the NOAA weather radio - around here its 162.500 megahertz, and the voice was recorded by Stephen Hawking
" That's a bit like Bush talking about evolution and intelligent design, and claiming that "we have two theories".
Which Bush? Daddy, GW, Jeb, or the one on Mt Sinai that was burning in front of Moses ?
I agree, I thought this was something to do with our state (MN) bird
" Last month (April 2015)"
Since its still the middle of April 2015, I'm guessing the summary was written for the dupe of this to be posted in a couple weeks time

Not going to be very usefil knowing what its going to be like tomorrow when that was 63 years ago

Stone tablets may be fireproof, but don't go and throw them at a golden calf, because then they will break.

We could use the heat from the sun to evaporate seawater, then condense it.
Pax Romana
Which one was that ? Mary Tamm or Lalla Ward
Back in those days the IAU wasn't around to set the rules about what is or is not a planet.
Although it would be nice to send them back in time so they could witness the event.
"You have to remember, Stanford considers Computer Science to be just a branch of the Philosophy Department in the first place.."
In that case you might as well go to the University of Wooloomooloo , I hear they have an excellent Philosophy Department - just ask for Bruce
