  1. Re: By far not the first ship tunnel on Norway Plans to Build the World's First Ship Tunnel (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Typo... No double negative intended. That's what you get for trying to change a sentence instead of just writing a new one.

  2. Re: By far not the first ship tunnel on Norway Plans to Build the World's First Ship Tunnel (newatlas.com) · · Score: 2

    It's probably the same tunnel. They've been planning it for a long time, and i don't think this is not the first time it's been on /.. However, now the money to build it is being made available.

  3. Re: Autonomous Ships? on Norway Plans to Build the World's First Ship Tunnel (newatlas.com) · · Score: 3

    Losing an autonomous ship still means losing a ship. On a plus side, tourism!

  4. Re: They public Healthcare so when an auto drive on Norway Aims To Allow Testing Of Self-Driving Cars in 2017 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We only got one right-wing, however, he'll be the minister of justice :/ The others aren't that bad.

  5. Re: Moving to cash anyway on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah! Having to drag around lots of cash is not better. I went cashless 15 years ago and haven't looked back. Oh, and chip&pin is quicker and safer if you use it in already developed areas of the world. You can even block your card from being used in certain countries.

  6. Re:Easy target for enemies... on Norway Is Building The World's First 'Floating' Underwater Tunnels (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    The risk calculations have already been done, and it is negligible. There are a lot of better targets in Norway than this bridge/tunnel. There will also be passages between the two sections in an emergency.

  7. Re:San Francisco's Transbay Tube on Norway Is Building The World's First 'Floating' Underwater Tunnels (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    We already have what you're talking about in Norway as well, and that one is probably one of the busiest tunnels we've got. This is something completely different.

  8. Re: Of course the spin is people are... on In the Aftermath Of Brexit, Brits Google About Irish Passport, Meaning Of EU, and Why it All Happened · · Score: 1

    UK can vote as much as they'd like. It's EU that decides, and it won't let them just come back after a few years in misery, just because they voted yes now. If they leave, they will be kept outside for years to come.

  9. Freedom to be kept out the EEC? Sure. Good luck with that.

  10. *outside Europe

    It's called football in metric.

    Could this explain why so many Americans do not understand science?

    Newer German cars, and not something cheap ;-) It is however easy to program the CAN-bus.

    Evangelicals are the ones trying to force christianity down your throat! (i.e. following the great commission)

    They are not hiding it, yours is just more tacky.

    Nobody is stopping you, you just can't charge anyone for it.

    Luckily not in governments as they would be net positive then instead of flat broke...

  18. Go to church? on Statisticians Uncover What Makes For a Stable Marriage · · Score: 1

    "How often you go to church (Couples who never go to church are 2x more likely to divorce than regular churchgoers.); " But there was another study where atheist couples are less likely to divorce (if they get married) than Christian - does this mean that Christian couples that don't go to church are most likely doomed?

  19. Re:Trains sound like a good idea. on Driverless Buses Ruled Out For London, For Now · · Score: 1

    Cars are never a good solution within city borders. The reason for this is that they're inefficient when it comes to square metres.

  20. Re:Its all in the gmail terms of use ... on Google Spots Explicit Images of a Child In Man's Email, Tips Off Police · · Score: 1

    It's probably part of the "spam-scan".

  21. Re:Lies and statistics... on 35% of American Adults Have Debt 'In Collections' · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easier if you didn't have to pay your medical bill? Or medical insurance?

  22. Re:The American Dream on 35% of American Adults Have Debt 'In Collections' · · Score: 1

    There is no socialism in US. Except when it comes to representatives trying to keep jobs in their home state by forcing the military/NASA to buy stuff they don't need.

  24. Re: Let them drink! on NYC Loses Appeal To Ban Large Sugary Drinks · · Score: 1

    Do not forget to include that people with a fun, active lifestyle is less sick than others, and cost less because of this. If one guy is unlucky, it's still a win overall.

  25. Re: Let them drink! on NYC Loses Appeal To Ban Large Sugary Drinks · · Score: 1

    I think a lot of them do it because it is expected of them, and they have not considered the alternative. On behalf of Europe I'd like to say: sorry for sending you all our religious nuts! But seriously, we couldn't let them destroy Europe!
