It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things from.
3. Exports: none.
See Imports.
4. Population: none.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
5. Monetary Units: none.
In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altairian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.
6. Art: none.
The function of art is to hold the mirror up to nature, and there simply isn’t a mirror big enough – see point one.
7. Sex: none.
Well, in fact there is an awful lot of this, largely because of the total lack of money, trade, banks, art, or anything else that might keep all the nonexistent people of the Universe occupied.
Palm tree oil, or palm fruit oil? The first is also an ecological disaster because you're destroying critical trees, the second protects nature because you want to keep the palm trees around to get their fruits.
Your ICE requires a lot of energy to find oil, extract it, transport it to refineries, refine it, transport it again, then gets burned in your car/truck.
If that study is well made, they included all the steps on both sides, EV and ICE.
Out of the box, plug the phone into your computer and download our app. The phone will update, an account will be created, and you will set up your 9 speed dials.
Translation: all the new technology is being used to spy on us, tracks everything we do and my profile is being sold to thousands of companies for profits, so I'm falling back to older technology where these assholes can't reach me.
I rarely click on links to the articles. What I usually do is search for the company name and go directly to their website. If I'm already at a company's website, there's no point in showing me ads.
That's no longer true because most people upgrade their stuff much often than decades ago so it's even easier to get not-too-old, still-working stuff that doesn't smell like the dump.
Isn't this too much technology crammed into a smartphone? Over 50% of components manufactured being trashed because they fail the QA test? That's really not green, Apple.
Sony and Microsoft saw the success of the Wii with casual gamers, tried to copy the concept and force it for all games, regular and hardcore gamers didn't want it, the concept crashed and burned.

Also, fuck the cost difference. First of all olsmeister said he doesn't want a "smart" TV and secondly repairing his old TV means less electronic waste at the dump.

In a fist fight, your best bet is Captain Benjamin Sisko. Hell, he punched Q right in the freakin' face.

For the water, Sawyer filters would help. Electricity, not much.
Well, if you had to prioritize wouldn't that hospital make it near the top of your list?

My current phone is a hand-me-down iPhone 4 but with no sim card, no phone service. Basically an iPod touch.
My next phone will have a feature that both Android and iPhone doesn't have: no applications and no spyware.
What's the smallest, best flip-phone? I don't even want SMS nor a camera. Just a freakin' phone to make freakin' phone calls. /Dr.Evil

Yeah... this isn't Space Quest III, it's real life.
Go watch Apple's keynote. Even a 3D mask of your own face should fail to authenticate with FaceID.
I don't use TouchID on my iPhone.

That's weird. My Kinect always determines I'm a meat popsicle and logs me in as Bruce Willis.

If you want a more quieter, submissive alternative there's always a RealDoll.

Before telling others how they should fix their things, maybe you should fix your own apostrophes.
Because that's how you can make us feel old. /MaloryArcher
