The way this star is flashing reminds me a lot of how a fisherman twitches a lure to entice a fish to bite. Maybe we should investigate this a bit more before getting too close.
You've obviously never lived in a small town. Everything is everyone's business, like it or not.
There's also an interesting social impact of this. I was talking about arranged marriages with a co-worker from India. In every village there was someone who knew everyone's background. There is a strong incentive to maintain your family's honor, otherwise your children will be rejected by the family of a potential spouse. She felt that it promoted a more orderly society.
A couple of generations ago this was also true for most people. In a small town everyone knew you, your family, and everything about you. It some places that's still true. You did (and do) have the option of moving away; but that meant you were starting out in a new place with no timeline.
You are correct. That water had gasses in it before the fracking started.
You are not correct. There was never any hydraulic fracturing in the vicinity of the flaming faucet in the first "documentary". The second "documentary" didn't even bother to find a well with gas in the water, he just connected a propane tank to the garden hose.
You're looking up toward the monitor and down for close distance reading. The best combination I've found is mid-range for the main part of the lens and a small bifocal or progressive part at the bottom for reading.
For strictly reading get a pair of grocery store reading glasses, no need to pay an optometrist for that. Actually you might get by with a lower diopter correction from the grocery store for computer use as well, but then you need to keep changing glasses for reading.
And one last comment. If you ever think you have a problem with your eyes, go straight to an ophthalmologist. Don't waste any time on an optometrist; eye problems can develop and become serious in just a few days.
How many of the "eye witnesses" in the Brown case weren't even at the scene until after it happened? No surprise that 87% of claims against police go away when there's a recording of what actually happened.
And who down-modded the parent post? It was at 2, now back to 1. People who do that should be banned from moderating
I know someone has all these numbers and could easily put them in an easy to read chart?
Lawsuits.
A reasonable person understands that the vaccine isn't 100% effective or even 100% safe, just effective enough and safe enough to justify its use. But people like the anti-vaxxers aren't reasonable.
Because site advertising wasn't covering their running costs. The newspapers need a business model that delivers profits
That's a different issue. The publishers are trying to become profitable by selling their content rather than through advertising. They could have used Google to send them visitors who are willing to pay, but instead they tried to sell directly to Google. Google declined to make the purchase. Sounds like a poor decision by the publishers.
Google does share; it's not a file sharing site where you get a copy of the content. The Spanish news services are about to realize that traffic sent to their sites was worth more than the revenue they were trying to squeeze out of Google.
Because this wasn't intended to be a practical solution to anything; it was a feel-good publicity stunt. As you say, a garden light with a built-in charger makes more sense.
On the other hand, look what happened to Japan's carriers at the Battle of Midway.
At 10:22, American SBD Dauntless dive bombers approaching from the southwest and northeast struck the carriers Kaga, Soryu, and Akagi. In less than six minutes they reduced the Japanese ships to burning wrecks.
No, that is NOT what zoning is for. Zoning exists to...
You and GP said the same thing. The government uses zoning to regulate how the land can be used. You might not agree with the government's decision to require or exclude certain uses, but that's a different topic.
tore open discarded laptop battery packaging and extracted individual storage units called cells, tested those individually to pick out the good ones, and recombined them to form refurbished battery packs...IBM is not considering this as a business but says the technology could be offered free to poor countries.
The reason nobody has done this before is because someone has to pay for it.
When I worked for a defense contractor we all knew exactly what was billable and what wasn't. And we had to account for every minute of our time spent on projects; everything was audited.
Recall that Snowden sought out a job which gave him access to an exceptional number of NSA secrets. They seemed to think this guy had reason to sell information on how to most effectively conduct a terrorist attack the on carrier.

Apples and oranges. Percent increase is not the same as amount of electricity generated.

Can someone explain why we should care that he announced vaporware (again)?

They should have negotiated some nominal fee
Why? They tried to squeeze money out of Google and failed; charging a nominal fee serves no purpose.
On the other hand, if the past three years had been the most active on record we would know exactly why.
So no harm done.

It's really hard to type with when it's standing on edge.

A classic bluegrass tune "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" by Jim & Jesse.
Often heard as "I'll Wear Your Underwear Tonight".
Incremental cost of an F-35 is far less that that. Plus the technology will be used on other aircraft for several decades
Who cares? Is Dice taking slashvertisement money from IBM now?

That is true. However, as a wise man once said: "Trust, but verify."
