The train is great, but one of the reasons you prefer it might be because the train ticket doesn't cover the full cost of operating the train. I'm all for mass transit that covers it's costs, but very little of it comes close. Trains and busses are very efficient when it's rush hour and they're full, but throughout the day they continue to run and are very underutilized. That cuts their avereage efficiency to not all that much better than the average car passenger's nationally (some system's like NYC subway are doubtless better than that).
Military Intelligence Division 5 and Divsion 6, I believe. MI5 is the UK's version of the FBI, while MI-6 is the UK's version of the CIA. If you listen to bond carefully, you'll usually hear some references to MI6.
3 strikes became a cause in the US, during the rise in violent crime as various street gangs warred for control of the crack trade. Essentially cities saw huge increases in crime and policies of the time weren't doing enough to make citizens feel safe. So led by Western states (where voters almost always have some ability to directly pass laws) votors passed laws mandating that for certain types of crimes (normally murder, attempted murder, rape, and armed robbery sometimes others as well) a third conviction would result in an automatic life sentance.
It depends on whether you're in Europe (single 0) or the US (0 and 00). The house edge on US roulette is one of the worst in the traditional table games. You could do the same thing on the no pass line at the craps table for a better odds.
It hinders if you reshuffle realtively early in the decks of cards. Card counting is mostly just a method for noticing when there is a disporportionate number of 10 point cards to low point cards in the deck. (Because of the rules of how the dealer is forced to play that's favorable to the player). If there are still many cards left when the house shuffles, the denominator never gets small enough to make anything but a huge difference in 10 cards/low cards favorable enough to bet heavily.
If there are 200 cards left in the shoe, a 5 card favorable difference isn't enough create an edge. If there are 50 that's more than enough. The odds of having a 20 card difference (what you'd need to have similar favorability with 200 cards left in the shoe) are pretty slim.
So we're wating cells that could be put to more productive use, because it allows connected people to cut their energy bills or gain status. Sounds like NJ continues to lead in graft.
Yeah, I remember thinking that about fighting games. One of the main reasons people are fun to play against is they'll change their attacks when something doesn't work well or you change if it is working. Computer players generally don't it would be cool if it kept track of your attacks and blocked high when you only attack high or countered low or similar things.
ESPN NFL 2k used to record many of your decisions so you could play yourself or friends profiles using the computer. If you or they had a tendancy (run right vs pass left or blitz or something you could learn them and nail them the next time you played).
I doubt many Ferarri owners go bragging about their car's cost on a page devoted to car tuning. People who have the knowledge to make something that other people pay dearly for rarely look up to those who pay for it.
Yes and in our society, grandmothers, moms, and aunts used to have a vastly more important role, until very recently when children leave (and usually go long distances from their parents and that input has vastly less importance). So women pick guys who make them feel good and a big driver of what makes them feel good about a man is does he excite me a little. Healthy in balance with other factors, unhealthy without that balance.
I dunno, I've read both sides and it doesn't seem like there's much to discuss. Unless you're splitting hairs enough to consider an invention to be something created to describe a a ntural phenomena. Plato should have ended the debate melennia ago. P=NP would be better party fodder.
This is in my opinion, the major problem science has in public opinion. Americans have always had an extreme dislike for anyone who stands up and says, "I'm (smart/credentialed/noble-birthed) so listen to my opinions..." Too many scientists have become this.
Probably more accurate than you guess. Women choose the male, and absent input from wiser heads, women are most attracted to reckless males (since a reckless person who survives to sexual maturity is likely to be very skillful or they'd have perished in a society that doesn't treat everything with kid glvoes). Rational scientists might be skillful, but since their behavior doesn't show obvious testing of that skill, it's much more difficult to asses their skillfulness.
That's a good point, that struck me watching Boys of October (about the kids in WV who built rockets in the 50s and won a national science fair). Something that required real innovative thought and brought a whole town out to see it demonstrated has become a $10 3 piece kit at the hobby store, and something that most school kids can do without a thought. We built and shot rockets off in the 5th grade but learned nothing about how gravity impacted our flight or predicting which rockets would hit the house accros the street based on the windspeed.
I too learned the basics of electronics building a police/flight radio from scratch, and it was so cool when I could hear the planes radios from something I made.
It's very counter stereotype, but it's the truth. Our higher prices are vastly cheaper on a per minute of usage basis. Pricing per minute is very highly correlated with the number of carriers in a market.
Pens are expensive (and require very expensive grain) and cattle are grazed on the most worthless land available (if land is only worth growing grass it's cattle range). Why do you think Texas was prime cattle country?
Calves are kept in pens (normally 2x their size sheltered and 3-5x their size open) when they're not kept with their mothers (normally dairy calves) until their weaned at which point they join a beef herd.

Yeah touring subs are pretty neat. I know of ones in Portland, Galveston, and Pearl Harbor? Any others?
That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my planetary air shield.
Because headlines that read, we have lots of y don't sell many papers and cause a different group of people to panic and buy it out.

Very true, although I think unlike the FBI they have jurisdiction overseas for counterspy activities.

They knew the risks, they bought their tickets, I say let them crash.
The Nokia founder invented pneumatic tires. I think they might be just a hair older than Jobs and Woz.

I suspect you're right.

I think he meant greeting cards like those produced by Hallmark and American Greetings.

The women agree, then.

If you're going to that level of change, it's probably more effective (and not all that much more expensive) to engineer steak to grow in a vat.
Pens are expensive (and require very expensive grain) and cattle are grazed on the most worthless land available (if land is only worth growing grass it's cattle range). Why do you think Texas was prime cattle country?
