Ethanol is corrosive and the water it attracts makes it more so. It damages seals, and will actually eat away some metals like the stuff carburetors were made of 50 years ago.
Suburbs don't get developed where there isn't already good access. (Read about Robert Moses and Long Island.) Developers generally have to put in the roads that are in their development; taxes fund their maintenance.
Most suburbs are areas that were independent towns long before they were considered suburbs. Southwestern Connecticut is considered a suburb of New York City, yet consists of towns dating from about 1640, before there were even bridges out of Manhattan. Better roads, and railroads, made them more economically viable so that they grew: not developers colluding with government to put a highway through farmland.
Time for the old standard: "The law is what the cop on the beat says it is." If you live long enough to get a lawyer and a trial, you have the opportunity to bankrupt yourself to get out of jail. Good luck.
You haven't been paying attention. There was a period in 2012 when government-assisted solar companies were failing every few weeks: Solyndra was just the big-money obvious scandal. There are photovoltaic cell manufacturers that are profitable, and that don't need government "investment".
That the Chinese are foolishly subsidizing their solar industry is NOT a reason that we should follow their example.
Not here because the device is claimed to contain its electromagnetic energy by internal reflection. Nothing is (claimed to be) externally emitting or reflecting.
According to TFA, the EM waves are contained; they do not radiate beyond the device. The inventor is claiming thrust from an internally generated EM field reflecting off interior walls.
Have you ever actually tried to use a Phillips or Robertson screw on the end of a screwdriver?
Yes. The Phillips "cams out" and if I want to drive it in with more than the design torque, I have to push axially quite hard to do so. A Robertson drive won't cam out, so much so that I actually snapped the driver the third time I used one.
To get high torque with a cross head screw, choose Pozidriv.
By default, SAVE should always be the same format as the original file. If I start with "gimp photo.jpg" then SAVE should write to the file "photo.jpg". "EXPORT" or "SAVE AS" should be used for everything else, and I shouldn't have to use a different menu item for different filetypes.
but "gimp" is derogatory slang for a disabled person
First, there are other meanings of the word "gimp", some of which are complimentary.
Second, it is simply a lie to say that "gimp" is derogatory. David Niven, one of the most noble actors ever, referred to himself in a film role as having a "gimpy leg." That you or anyone else considers "gimp" derogatory is symptomatic of the liberal tendency to believe that everyone is the same and that pointing out differences is evil. Grow up.
In the Gimp, applying a graduated neutral density filter involves working with layers, but in Lightroom, you just click and drag to create two regions, then set the exposure individually for each.
The blend tool has 23 modes including dodge and burn, 11 shapes (linear, radial, etc), continuously variable opacity and offset. I've found that most of what I need to do can be accomplished without layers.
Last time I looked, the USPS still had a legally enforced monopoly on certain types of mail, and a legally enforced monopoly on the use of mailboxes for US mail (i.e. only the USPS can deliver mail to the mailbox, if you want a mailbox for other delivery services, it has to be a separate box.)
You can't keep a library book forever, but when you buy a book, you do. The internet, by its very nature, is transitory. You can save the information and/or print it out, but the cost of doing so is marginal. So the cases are not comparable.
People who don't have internet access will not be a part of creating what comes next.
Sez you. Lack of internet access is no restriction to learning most engineering and science disciplines, mathematics, writing fiction, advances in philosophy, etc.
If the US government owns it, the US government will censor it, and in fact it has already taken steps in that direction. The "memory tube" will be instantaneous.
End all income taxes on corporations. End all income taxes on people. Operate government on this simple principle: you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get. Productive industry will flock to the US and prosper, and the number and severity of failures will drop dramatically. The whip wielders in government have nothing positive to offer humanity.

No cars burn cleanly. It's all the rubber in the tires, they make lots of nasty black smoke. Mag wheels make an impressive flame, however..
That's electronics. Not going to give it to us? We'll seize it. Just rip it right out of your chest.
The Revolution was to free the land where they lived and was brilliantly successful for about 120 years. Stop making stupid hair-splitting neologisms.

If you voted for Lynch or Shaheen you deserve it.

I keep planting my dollar bills in the ground, yet I'm not getting any money trees. That must show I'm really not spending enough.

Banks and organizations like them carry depositor insurance, as do stock brokerages for the cash portion of accounts.
The commies knew what they were doing. The communist goal was and is destruction coupled with political power, and that is what it achieves.
The CD is at least as much a Phillips invention as Sony.
