Well in Farmville, it doesn't say "it's too wet this spring to plant your corn in time to harvest, all your surplus cash is going to the bank to keep from defaulting on the 1/2 million dollars of debt your servicing so go to DSS and get some food-stamps so the kids can still eat, but your neighbor who planted winter wheat is having a bumper-crop!"
A few of us are more fluent with machines than with people, most are more fluent with people than machines, someone with a high degree of fluency with both is both rare and valuable.
I honestly believe that the problem is we who are called computer geeks,are highly orientated toward machines and spacial relations type of cognition and we are highly systematizing. We have build our machines to suit our cognitive style and because of that the average person will never have our degree of computer fluency.
he said metric but obviously meant English or imperial systems, they traditionally use powers of 2 for fractional measurement, especially distance, yet this isn't rigid; car odometers often measure into tenth of a mile, electronic thermometers in tenths of a degree and rulers calipers and micrometers that measure in tenths/hundredths/thousandths and ten-thousandths of an inch are common in machining industry. The publishing industry uses points and pica.
Most measures are actually convenient sizes, so there really isn't that much difference, a 12 oz soda is about.33l, a half liter is about 16Oz + a tablespoon. A pound and 500 gm are interchangeable for most practical purposes, and when they aren't you should be using a scale anyways, likewise 30ml is an ounce, 15 ml a tablespoon and 5 a teaspoon so that isn't rocket science. Curiously Huntsville Alabama, home to the Marshal Scape Flight Center had metric speed limit signs since the 1970's so maybe it is rocket science. For the most part most people are brain farting over significant digits when converting; seriously a soda can isn't filled to 5 digits precision.

There's nothing simple about cutting out simple sugars in our society's typical diet.

Is Sugar Toxic?

If you get bottled water, there's a very good chance that you'll be drinking salted water instead. Why would I want something to quench my thirst, that will just make me thirsty? Oh. To make it more profitable for the company. Why sell them (me) one bottle, when they can sell me 3 and still leave me thirsty. And I know a lot of people will cry "BS" on that. Check the labels.
Actually you need some sodium to keep the water inside your body, most of us get plenty from diet, but drinking distilled water isn't good if taken to extreme. Also water without minerals doesn't have a taste, like eating Minute Rice compared to real unprocessed rice.

Indians (as in Hindustanis) discovered how to crystallize sugar during the Gupta dynasty, around 350 AD History of sugar
After that the Arabs and Berbers produced and traded sugar, sugar production also meant slavery, the rule of thumb being a young strong male slave always cost about the same as a ton of sugar.
It's a lot bigger than just HIPAA, many fields have government mandated data retention periods and other even if they don't can quickly turn into a nightmare of FOIA requests obstruction of justice charges or even boatloads of negative press. Just ask Phil Jones or Michael Mann about the headaches that FOIA avoidance, incontenant emails and deleted data can cause.
From April 3 to April 4, 1974, there were 148 tornadoes confirmed in 13 US states, including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and New York; and the Canadian province of Ontario. It extensively damaged approximately 900 square miles (1,440 square kilometers) along a total combined path length of 2,600 miles (4,160 km).[1]
My area, that's an area equivalent to Western Europe.
Even if the last 15 years produced the 10 hottest years, for the sake of argument, how would that show whether it was due to man-made causes like CO2 rather than natural cyclical temperature variation. The temperatures in the 1930's were certainly comparable as scientists are still debating whether they were warmer or not, and CO2 levels were much lower then.
The amount of trust Climate Scientists have in the output of computer program that interate over the same data to project climate decades and centuries into the future boggles my mind.
That's pretty normal spring weather over here, if you want unusually violent look at the Super Outbreak of April 3-4th 1974, 148 tornadoes in 24 hours. The F3 that went through the Marshal Space Flight Center, jumped over Monte Sano Mountain, and went through Redstone Arsenal to Huntsville went right over me.
In fact the ability for science to change is one of the most basic requirements for something to be science. Scientific fact is ALWAYS based on the data and knowledge we have available at the time and can change if new data and knowledge come available.
Firstly the problem is about the moist air column,
what the alarmists really believe is that a tiny bit of warming due to CO2 will cause the humidity to increase causing a tall moist column of air which will retain much more heat than the CO2 ever could
The Skeptic on the other hand believe that the extra humidity will just become rain and not increase the air temp very much and that air temperatures are an insignificant compared to ocean temperatures.
The data just doesn't support the alarmists, for the last 10 years or so the warming hasn't been significantly above normal climatic cycles, even Phil Jones admits this, and the temperature anomaly is actually negative for the last couple months!
The only Climate refugees I've heard about, was Australians, and that was due to the dam operators so brainwashed into expecting a AGW drought, they had held too much water back and had to do emergency releases which caused massive flooding.
This just seems like a such a bad comparison to me, the Fukushima-style reactor meltdown was a "we ran out of water" thing; how would that happen in a submarine?
The question is why someone with, obviously, minimal computer skills is given such an important task?
Because his manager has given him glowing performance reviews, primarily because of his stellar computer skills compared to his reviewing manager; he may even be the "go to guy" for computer issues and the ad hoc trainer for his department.
I don't think that because glucosamine as a dietary supplement is pretty expensive, it follows that that glucosamine as an industrial reagent will be as well. The prices of medicines and supplements rarely are cost of production and distribution plus reasonable markup.
GE's AP600 and AP1000 designs will automatically trip and if they lose coolant flow and start to over-heat will automatically blow some explosive operated valves and start a shower of water falling on the steel containment building for 72 hrs without human intervention, which will maintain safe core temperatures. After 72 hrs you need to have somebody refill the coolant pool on the roof of the containment to keep things stable and it's a lot easier to pour water into a reactor coolant pool when the reactor isn't puking it's guts.
Anyways if you going to be in a zombie apocalypse, why not go full-monty and be in a nuclear mutant zombie apocalypse? Seems to me it would hurt less having you brains sucked out through a straw than it would having your skull ripped open and your brains eaten like popcorn!
First that corn is field corn, and generally is animal feed not human feed and secondly fermenting the corn for ethanol still leaves the oil for biodiesel and the distiller's dried grain for animal feed.

There Is No Such Thing as Nuclear Waste
There is no such thing as nuclear waste, everything that comes out of a used fuel rod is extremely useful, rare and precious and very expensive.

That means low power (746 watts=1 hp, 25,000/746 = 33.5 hp, that's VW type I range power) and very narrow torque band.
