I think what the OP may have been getting at is that since diesel is more energy dense, an X% in MPG is caused at least in part by diesel being more energy dense, rather than it being all down to engine efficiency.
(It's also more expensive every place I've seen, another thing to bear in mind when doing comparisons)
that person knows more than the doctor about what's wrong because it's their body.
The fixing a computer analogy is actually a pretty good one. Pretend the computer is the patient's body, and the user is their mind, and it works out better IMO.
Thinking of it like that, what do you want from the user? Not their theories of what might be the problem, or what they want you to do to fix the problem they've decided they have, but what, specifically, is going wrong with the computer?
Further than telling the symptoms the patient generally has no clue what's up, and it's at that point I think many people start to feel the doc isn't paying attention, because while they think they're being helpful, talking about something they googled or their cousin had or whatnot, they're not providing useful information anymore.
Exceptions surely exist, and there are nuances to the situations, but it really does remind me a lot of looking at a computer that clearly has a hardware problem while the owner is yelling that they have a virus and trying to get information despite the preconception.
Check the south out, there are tons of flags (American and Confederate, heh) and yellow ribbons.
Certain subcultures have just been taught that if you don't throw "it" out there as hard as you can(whether it be politics or religion or the fact that you have a poodle) then you don't believe it as hard.
True, but in doing so many people/families that are "hanging on" also keep hanging onto such discretionary costs as entertainment systems, entertainment spending (Cable/sat, etc) and drinking/dining. Things might be not so tight for lots of people if they thought of their luxuries as such and scaled them back, rather than being part of the base-line for living.
Out of curiosity, what were your meals like? Normal foods (whatever that means in such a climate) with larger portions, lots of energy dense stuff like like almonds and dry fruit, etc?
Same; Lump got a ton more radioplay than Peaches where I grew up. Also always liked Dunebuggy, although besides those three I can't say I recall any other songs...
You could gzip a stream of binary that represents code to do something amazing or revolutionary, yet in that form and sans proper environment, it's useless and nigh unreadable, much like your horse genome.
Put another way: unless you're obsessive about it, your own kitchen and food preparation would occasionally fail to get an A rating.
I bet most peoples' kitchens would frequently fail to get an A. I know mine would, at any rate, and as far as I know I haven't contracted anything deadly in there.
I honestly haven't used yelp a lot (Didn't have many reviews for the area I was in at the time) but I'm uninstalling the iPhone app.
I remember back before the appstore turned on there was a nice little review app available via Installer but i don't recall the name...anyone remember it?

if by "probably sucks" you mean "is in the middle of tornado alley" then yes, it does, a lot.

Very well put, although I think as long as China keeps getting manufacturing business they won't care so much about tourism
I'm amazed and appalled. ( and slightly embarrassed that this made me giggle)
What?
That just sortof implies the grads generally would rather be in industry, which is perfectly reasonable.

Double agent? do you work for the CIA?
Or to see whether they are Christian, collect stamps as a hobby, etc etc etc.
Or hell, even collect exotic pets. Hope I never have an arachnophobic HR guy look me up.
Some guy with a crowbar killed all the computer savvy ones
It does, but that doesn't stop people from trying.

Lots of jurisdictions are so crowded that all a lawyer has to do is show up to contest the ticket and it'll get dropped to save time.
When Marketing wins, Customers lose.
So does Engineering.
I'm not doubting you mind, but I have to wonder what the hell an assemblyline worker could have in his toolbox that would run up that kind of sum.
I'd say on average underage drinking and drug use is the bulk of subpoena worthy stuff on fb.
Meh, if HR doesn't like that i dig cannibal corpse, f 'em. /sarcasm

I don't get it.

Fair enough, thanks for the reference, it does appear fairly complicated.

As you say, it's cooking, not surgery.

As long as she's cute that's fine, i like tuna.
