"by putting speed limiters in cars, and banning what are effectivly 'race' cars/bikes from the road. there is no legitimate reason to have a vehical that will do 0-60 in under 12 seconds. "
I agree there should be limits on speed - but not on acceleration. If your speed limit is 70 (I presume we are talking miles per hour here) then it doesn't matter how quick your vehicle gets up to that speed.
I have a 4 -5 year old 28 inch 1920x1200 at the moment.
The biggest (affordable) monitors you can get these days are 27 inch with 1920x1080
you can get a HDTV thats bigger but still only 1920x1080 (Which is fair enough I suppose, since TV resolution is 1080p)
Sooner or later this old monitor will fail (probably the flourescent illiminating tube) and obviously I will need a replacement, and I will have to buy it before the Marketplace Fairness Act comes into force) (Internet sales tax)
Moore's "Law" has to fail eventually, because if you keep doubling (the amount of transistors on a chip) every couple of years you would soon (in a century or two) have more transitors than there are (elementary) particles in the universe
Nursing Assistants are completely aware of their bias against obese patients who are harder to turn and reposition in bed, and to transfer to a comode or the bathroom.
And management doesn't give a shit, otherwise they would have 2 staff on the floor at NOC when there are such '2 assist' patients.
Not everybody works Monday to Friday (or 9 to 5 for that matter)
I have a 3 night weekend (I work nights) every 2 weeks. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights) But then I have to work the other weekend.
Statutory holidays don't make any difference, I work every Monday (and Wednesday) I get alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays off. (Total 72 hrs every fortnight)
I suppose you can use it in batteries, for UPS and cars etc. (I just bought a battery for the mower, it was nearly half the price of what I paid for the mower in the first place.)
But it would be better if you could generate Lithium
China may be the biggest Asian country, but what about the others. Maybe they should be learning one of the Official languages of India (the second largest asian country) that is also widely spoken in other asian countries.
"Most Americans wouldn't have joined WW2 (at least until Pearl Harbor)."
Most americans weren't alive at the time of WW2
"Most people don't know which came first, the Revolutionary War or the Civil War"
Maybe if it was given the correct title "The War of Independence" people would know it was first
"Most states have passed anti-gay, one-man/one-woman marriage laws."
They had that on the ballot in November (One Man One Woman) - It failed. Then the other day the Governor signed the bill giving gays the right to marry in the State of Minnesota
"Most people generally fear change of any sort."
Only pennies - Quarters and dimes can be used in vending machines
They already made Earth 2 back in the early 90's - where the native inhabitants could pop up right out of the ground, . Most of the humans wore VR headsets. It only lasted one season.
