~30,000 people a year die on the roads... Have we worked very hard to fix that yet?
That statement is just ignorant. Do some reading about automobile design, road design, driver training and licensing, etc.. There are people who spend their whole working lives on nothing but this stuff.
Dynamite consists of nitroglycerine mixed with stuff that makes it less sensitive to shock. As it ages, the nitroglycerine can seep out and degrade to compounds even more sensitive to shock. Depending on dynamite without a detonator to be safe is... unwise.
There should have been other safeties making this impossible, such as insurance companies refusing to insure and fire department applying pressure to have permits not issued or revoked. Still, if what you say is true, there's at the very least criminal negligence here.
With respect to fluoride in water, the tests were already done by the fact that some areas had naturally high concentrations, so all that was required was examining the residents and analyzing the data. An optimum range was established, and maintaining fluoride at the low end of that range has value. Alas, not all communities decided to add fluoride in the optimum range, and at least one community used too much, causing damage.
There are filters available (not the cheap ones available everywhere), and also distillation systems, that will remove most of the fluoride from tap water.
How would there have been a pitched battle if the government forces had just left? How was the murder by the government of 76 men, women, and children the best possible outcome?
I'm not aware of EBS being done on satellite TV, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Satellite TV sorts out subscriptions on a per-receiver basis, including which set of local channels is used and customized weather forecasts. Customized warnings appearing on-screen no matter what channel is active is feasible.
Unless you like skiing, the only thing worth doing outside in the northern winter is to head inside. All that aggression is pent up for spring release.
That's inadequate; he'd still be vulnerable to a killer joke attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funniest_Joke_in_the_World. Each packet must be divided into four parts to be read by a security team, no person being allowed to read more than one part.
You're assuming that the self-driving car will pull off to the right if a road hog gets too close on the left side, and will continue to do so without limit. All the self-driving car has to do is slow down; road hog either proceeds or slows down until it stops and wastes his time, indefinitely. The passenger in the self-driver is already cool, he can afford to waste his time because he hasn't been wasting time with the effort of driving. Road hog gives up and drives away.
A potential problem is that a self-driver already on the road might not be programmed to handle an aggressive car-jacking, or be able to distinguish a car-jacking from a valid stop by an unmarked police car.
How have you not been modded funny? Passenger trains, even subways, have drivers ("engineers"); and if you've never sat on an unmoving train for an hour you haven't done a lot of train travel. Trains crash, too, even though they have no option for steering.
Farmers market: In all likelihood, it sees obstacles in the road and slows. As it approaches the obstacles, it slows more, until it stops. It's no different from other road blockages it should be programmed to deal with.
There are a variety of problems with doing what everyone else does, especially for short term trades. If everyone is buying, then selling, you have to get there first or you lose money instead of making it. Another problem is that things work until they don't: many price pattern methods that worked splendidly until about year 2000 now are break-even or worse. Yet another problem is that even systems that are fundamentally sound are subject to what appears to be randomness: that good system can have a losing streak that wipes you out.
Worse, not everybody uses the same rules, and some people are subject to panic. Bad news can break any system, too quickly to react.
Science and engineering degrees from new graduates at all time lows.
Since when do new graduates issue degrees?
And at least one state (Tennessee) has recently tried to pass a law to make our educational system an actual Hunger Games by witholding food assistance from poor families with students who do poorly on state-administered exams.
"Food assistance" is government thieving from people who have earned the money to pay for that food. Encouraging people for whom school is doing no good, to continue going to school by bribing them with food, is a plan destructive toward everyone.
To compare that to "Hunger Games", a fictional government program of murder as entertainment, is dishonest and despicable.
Li-ion batteries suck. Their lifespans are considerably reduced if they are either fully charged or fully discharged; ideally they should be kept in the 40%-60% range. Since no charger does that, they are pretty much doomed. Expect your laptop battery to be effectively useless within 3 years of purchase, particularly if it's kept plugged in at all times.

The concepts of "at-will employment" and "right-to-work" are different, and in practice neither implies the other.

Non-concentrator cells are up to 37.8%.

X is an implementation of Y means that X implements Y. There is no implication of the language that X was coded in.
It's like pissing on Teddy Kennedy's grave. The only disadvantage is that it benefits Massachusetts, which deserves nothing good.

You're assuming the controller exists and is properly designed, which is a poor assumption.
In all the tests I've seen, Duracell has had a few percent advantage over Everready, or any other competitor. They simply make a better product.

Bee sandwiches must always use happy bread. It is the use of cross bread that made them killer bees.
This should work, given that similarly repulsive oysters have a reputation for sexual enhancement.
