you purchase the property, you pay your taxes, you mow the lawn (if the municipality requires it), there's nothing wrong with speculating on property. Real or imaginary.
there was a story a while back about using an ultra high frequency buzz to annoy youths... most adults can't hear it, great way to keep kids off your lawn.
I can usually hear CRTs, ultrasonic sensors at traffic signals, and occasionally this weird high pitched whine that so far I haven't been able to associate with any device in the home. It just popps up, fades and stops, takes just a few seconds, and I've noticed the dog tilt his head giving me the impression he can hear it too.
that's 20 to 100 Million people at a time when the population as a whole was 2 Billion, so significant % of the population in deaths alone, of course today things are better but if the same % were infected things would quickly get out of control. I could certainly see mass rioting, "liberating foodstuffs" and all sorts of bad things breaking out.
IMO, from my vast Zombie Apocalypse experience, I think hunkering down with your family for a month would probably be the safest thing to do. Then emerge blinking into the daylight and get a as funeral pyre efficiency expert.
Let's hope the outbreak occurs in the northern hemisphere spring, and is over by summer's end.
Wegmans eh, they certainly have improved their selection. Beers Of The World (south side of Rochester) has a whole store full of just about anything you could wish.
Strangely enough, there's a Hess gas station in Bushnell's Basin (near Rochester, on the Erie Canal) that has a wicked assortment of specialty brews including some of these same ones. Weird having such a great variety of beer in a gas station.
add to this story with some mild psychosis, paranoid feelings, general anxiety and heart burn and you have my experience. Maybe with some potassium deficiencies too.
I just can't process the stuff. The initial high is nice, but the build-up over time has such huge negative effects that I'm just a wreck after a few weeks. The heart burn really is the signal that the other symptoms are not far behind.
Usually it starts with nightmares! Yes, all this and more, caused by caffeine.
Go cold turkey, and a week later, no problems.
I learned this after a binge of 2 pot-a-day and a few pounds of chocolate covered espresso beans. Thought I was having a heart-attack.
I believe algea for fuel use will be grown vertically in large bags made of two long flat pieces of plastic.
See Invasion of the Body Snatchers in your head, with long rows of flat bags hanging in the desert. Instead of bodies in the bags, see green oily soon-to-be fuel.
A factory worker friend of mine told me to think like him, instead of an engineer for a minute and see two long rolls of plastic wrap on their spools. The same plastic that's made of dino-oil, of course, but could be made of bio-fuels.
One roll becomes the left side, one the right side. See another big drum that's heated and heat-seals the edges of the two rolls together, AND heat seals compartments in the now joined bag. The compartments are laid out like bricks, with alternating gaps on the left then right sides that will allow the water to flow from top to bottom only after traversing the row.
Pump into top, fill each compartment, fall down to next row, fill each compartment, repeat down to the bottom of the stack pump to the top or to the next stack in the row.
The compartments are like the Titanic. Water tight on the bottom and sides, but not on the top with each row feeding the one below it.
This format supplies surface area, mixes the algae (some require mixing to grow best), and sunlight.
When the stack is ready to harvest, the stack can be drained and processed by pressing it between two rollers to squeeze out the water and algae, then hung right back up.
Construction time is low, cost per stack is low, the pump is the most expensive part, but of course, that can be run with solar/wind and if you build the farms in a coastal desert, you should have plenty of water.
how about those new shock absorbers intended for use in electric vehicles, instead of using them on motorcycles and cars/trucks, add them to your home so every step you take generates 1mW of power...
same reason you can't harvest energy when you hang a bowling ball on a string. Like Earth and the bowling ball, they attract each other, but potential energy is just potential energy
some mod got a bee in their bonnet, there's nothing flamebaitish about your post, every word you wrote above is true, Madof stole billions and nothing happens to the guy.

oh come on now, that comment doesn't reflect my attitude towards gambling, it reflects my attitude towards casinos, my attitude towards people that market, protect and support casinos. and my attitude towards politicians who are owned by the casinos.
And it's not my problem. It's the problem of millions of people who know the negative impact casinos have on our culture.
Personally, I can gamble, walk to the table burn some cash, no biggie and walk away after the free drink. I can gamble with friends around a table just fine.
There are people who can't and those are the people the casinos target. Casinos are run by people who don't give a flying fuck about the customer and are glad to chew up and spit the customer out, people who purposely design "games of chance" where there's 0% chance of them losing, and then when a system is developed that gives the customer any change in odds, they exploit it by running to government and buying a law against it!!
Why can't I run a casino from my house?
Why are only "Indians" allowed to own casinos in many states?
Imagine that! If I don't like casinos in my town, I have no recourse. Hell, I can barely get an appointment for 2 minutes with my representatives. Casinos? Hours and hours and hours.
It takes a groundswell of the populace in huge numbers to stop a project like that, but only three guys with cigars to start one.
iPhone has an accelerometer, I use a step counting app all the time, imagine the step counting app keeping track, an up kick with your foot is +1, a down kick is -1 and when the app senses the time is right to bet, it vibrates
Nothings growing in these super future buildings without fusion power plants putting out terrawatts of juice to provide the energy to power the grow lights. We're talking levels of fusion power high enough to add a distinctive helium twinge to the air.
Sure, you only need light and nutrients to grow stuff. vertical is fine, hydroponic is fine, bio mats are fine, but none of it means anything if the city planning board puts another sky scraper between yours and the sun. Even buildings in the tropics, with the sun directly overhead has a shady side.
And nothing grows quite right on the shady side of the building, or in the building's huge shadow, or it's interior.
In this case, the solution being pushed most often is installed on an individual disk to disk basis. There's no scale in that. Support is the same as any other application forced on the users.
And I could easily list a good number of open source projects that scale just fine. Postgresql, postfix, sendmail, linux, gcc, apache, perl, php to name but a few.
ha! the street view car that hit the deer, the accident occurred about 3 miles from my house. In their defense, there are thousands of deer roaming the area, so many that car deer collisions are a daily thing, and it's not at all uncommon to see a carcass on the side of the road.
The undersea stuff is interesting because it might give a top-down view of wrecks if the wreck is in shallow water.

I never said I LIKED BUD! I said an old recipe does not a good beer make.
But... some people do, and that's all that is required to make a beer "good".
Personally, a hoppy IPA is currently my favorite, one I brewed myself from hops grown in my own back yard. /beer god angry!

Rochester has a huge number of home brewers.
just because the recipe is unchanged for 100 years doesn't mean it's good (Budweiser anyone?)
the proof is in the taste. If YOU like it, it's good beer.

Oh God dude, NO HR department person is on your side. Anywhere. Start with that assumption and you'll get along just fine.
I love driving through MA towing my camper. Can't see the tailgaters and the slow driving pisses off everyone.
reminds me of the highway crossing scene from The Mote In God's Eye where the moties just navigate around anyone walking through traffic

Corrupt politicians. Corrupt Casinos.
That's why they can all burn.
how about a subtle tap on the pocket?

no really, what's interesting is they really don't feed them. Some provide salt-licks, most just ignore them.
It's an artifact of loads of food, ample opportunity, almost no hunting in the area and horny deer. Pretty simple math actually.
ha! the street view car that hit the deer, the accident occurred about 3 miles from my house. In their defense, there are thousands of deer roaming the area, so many that car deer collisions are a daily thing, and it's not at all uncommon to see a carcass on the side of the road.
