+1 I know a lot of people exactly like this (lot's of ex-woodstock, deadheads getting away from evil corporations). Most have little interest in the internet. We do have pretty good broadband though.
I grow potatoes. Tastes nothing like store potatoes that are probably a year old by the time you get them:). Anyway, food is a store of (light) energy. The theoretical upper limit on (density) calories/m^2 is going to be Conversion Efficiency x time x W/m^2. I think corn does the best for efficiency, but is still less than about 2%.
Unfortunately more and more companies seem to think that if you don't have a cell phone, you're not worth dealing with.
I'd be happy going back to dial up. Almost everything I do is text and if not, I'm in no hurry and can schedule larger downloads for overnight or whenever.
I live very rural and have broadband, but I know a lot of people who don't because they don't have electricity (it's all off grid) and can't afford or understand how to hook up a few solar panels.
We need to bring back the bison. There used to be 75million buffalo walking across America which is about the same number of cows that live in America today. Bison don't emit greenhouse gasses.
Other than a few relays and an Ethernet connection, robotic controlled traffic signal isn't contained in the light pole. Today's (computer controlled) critical infrastructure like water delivery to a city or a national air traffic system is not performed by little bots running around, they're big centralized computers.
Why does it have to "fit in a robot"? What does that even mean when you can have robotics spacecraft, submarines, cargo ships and airplanes? Are you talking about something like DR's Petman? Would a robotics mule work? Or Asimo? Why does physical size, location or form matter in the least?
I live below the poverty level in the US and eat very well. Maybe it is something that is not entirely money related (mental illness, being able to pass the marshmallow test, substance abuse, education for example).
Slashdot Mirror
With a population of 3.74 million people, it works out to $2406/person, 8.7%GDP. on a per capita income of ~$20k.
In a world of personal beliefs, you don't have to think. Keep it up.
Actually that's exact what that means. Maybe you'd like to reword that to be correct or make some point.

My guitar amp goes up to 14.

How FOSTA Could Give Hollywood the Filters It's Long Wanted
In 1991
Well if we just replaced bison with cow, how are we hurting the environment over what was already here?

prevents you from pursuing goals.
Being able to spend more time on the cell phone is the goal.
It was a bad precedent. They should have blamed the car and ground it up.

Dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, thermostat, refrigerator and the light on the toilet when I put the lid down.
At least the customer will feel some sense of justice when the Robomatic 2000 is put in a small box and deactivated for 80 years.

Nixon was a Quaker.
Some people need to live in Santa Barbara, while other people only need to live in Rapid City.
I grew up in a poorer immigrant neighborhood and everyone cooked. All of the time. People didn't start going out to eat until the mid 1990's.
That's more money than I make.
Because people get really upset when you use averages.
I live below the poverty level in the US and eat very well. Maybe it is something that is not entirely money related (mental illness, being able to pass the marshmallow test, substance abuse, education for example).
An 8 gauge wire (3.3mm), running at 5 million volts DC will carry 120MW of power.
