  3. Re:Fracking takes water out of action on US Rust Belt Manufacturing Rebounds Via Fracking Boom · · Score: 4, Informative

    That you cannot get the recipes is a big lie propagated by the gasland film.

    You can do a google search and find the generic recipes. The problem is those recipes are generic and depending on the soil the proportions of different chemicals change. The big problem and why various companies have been fighting the various anti-frackers is that as you use the water it picks up chemicals from the ground, the various anti-fracker groups want companies to do a constant scan for those picked up chemicals and track all of them and report all of them.

    Check the dates, sales did not go up back in the 70s it has gone up with a wealthier asian population who can now afford shark as a food source.
    There was a surge of killing, but not a market for the sale, after Jaws. However there has been an increase of sales of shark flesh,in the USA, with the popularity of "shark week" and an increase of the sale during that time.

  14. Re:TripAdvisor on French Blogger Fined For Negative Restaurant Review · · Score: 1

    I use tripadvisor all the time and generally find the review to good. You do get the standard,"loud birthday party next door, 1 star place sucked", which can be easily ignored. If you look at most of the reviews of this place they are mostly first review, or all reviews are only from that city, all of those can be ignored.
    Also because of the nature of the people, and because it is more travel based reviews tend to be older, putting reviews up there you don't run into the Yelp problems.

  15. Re:Please explain to NON US people on White House Punts On Petition To Allow Tesla Direct Sales · · Score: 1

    The state laws came about because cars use to be sold how directly from the manufacturers and that lead to lots of problems with lack of support.
    With cars being the second biggest purchase, besides a house, states started to require that you had to have service and support of warranty, recalls, etc from where you purchase the vehicle or close to where you live. If you move away from where the dealer is, that is your responsibility.
    Tesla wants to get away from that where if you need support you call them, and they determine over the phone if they will provide support; if they don't then you can take your vehicle to California and they will look it over. If they do you are then required to go to a third party garage, which most can do only limited work. If those garages cannot do the warranty work your vehicle will be shipped out of state to a place that can do the work.
    It is not that weird of a law most countries have the same laws of protection.

    Just so you are informed. Religious reasons for no vaccination is very low on the list and is mainly from groups such as the Amish and the main reason Amish don't vaccinate is not for religious reason but items such as since they are closed community the risk is not as high.

    The biggest reasons for people not going with vaccines are not trusting of "big" science and vaccines are loaded with all those chemicals, similar to GMO.

    It was agreed that Ulbriht is the only person who has a possible right to the bitcoins so he and USMS agreed that because of the volatility of the Bitcoin markets that the USMS would have the right to sell the coins as they want and then the monies from that sale would go into a deposit fund until the court case has been decided upon.

    What probably happen was this mail was stored on PSTs on her local computer.
    The US federal government is filled with numerous regulations governing the size of email mailbox so it is not uncommon to have people use PSTs and since there are different regulations about storing PSTs on network drives, ok this one is valid, you get large quantities of email stored on local computers.
