My city doesnt enforce recycling at the curb level. All garabage gets hauled to a regional seperation facility. There the trash gets seperated by machines paper, plastics, metals, etc by doing it that way you pay slightly more but you dont need 6 different bins on the curb of every home getting blown around by storms.
Of course my city also does leaf and tree pickup for free too. That stuff gets mulched/ composted, etc.
Like power plants and eater treatment somethings are better done on a massive scale
While i agree in principal with you what would you think og canadain/ autralian, or UK,or even USA dual citizenship?
Not all dual status are bad. Just ones with different major values and laws. Yes for all of the differences we all share similar laws and core values. Even if some details vary greatly.
It is the last point that gets me. one would need a couple of miles of track next to each to be moving fast enough to make it worth while, however that eats up space, and the slow train would have to circle back around for the next train in sequence.
Also how do you do multi train platforms?
to me it seems like someone didn't think the idea through all the way.
Like lawyers and advertisers MBA's and especially EMBA's can never learn anything new or be retrained.
They should be put out to pasture by the time they are 40 to minimize damage they cause. Preferably on an island. Maybe near Sarah plains bridge to neverland
don't need to regulate knowledge. just cut funding to schools every year, so that the centers for learning are little more than places you can go and get food and store your kids for the day.
Of course they have reporters, who do you think searches the web for the game scores, and somebody has to go ask the tough questions regarding next weeks fashion show.
seriously if newspaper would stop catering to their customers(advertisers) at the expense of their clients(readers), newspaper readership wouldn't be dropping. I can't tell you when the last time my local paper did actual investigative reporting.
FORD uses Microsoft software for it's screens. of course it needs updates. they are probably software patches to keep the damn things from crashing so often
I agreed with you right up until you said electric vehicles are good. The problem is in the USA in order to generate enough power to recharge electric vehicles we will need more power plants. Power which comes from COAL, which increases CO2 emissions.
Battery powered electric cars will increase CO2 emissions drastically. Fuel cell Electric is better however the only place to get that kind of hydrogen is water, which requires large coal burning power plants to break the hydrogen oxygen bonds.
I have yet to see anyone propose a standard that actually doesn't use more electricity(which comes from coal) to create a cleaner future.
Remember Nuclear is big & scary see fukishima for more information Solar only works in part of the country, and for less than 50% of the day, Wind is at best 25% efficient over the course of a year. Geothermal works in some places but not enough.
So to create power where power is needed you need to burn coal which releases co2
we can't do energy storage for decent ranged electric cars, how do you propose to store a couple of hundred megawatts? Flywheels are temporary. they basically last long enough to bring full power plants online.
solar, wind, and tidal will always be secondary sources as at least 50% of the time they are forced to sit idle. (night, no wind, and tides don't happen 24 hours a day).
Nuclear can run 24 hours a day 365 days a year no problem.
FBI, CIA,NSA,DHS. Are all basically military various levels of physical force. The limits are on how much physical force they are allowed to bring to bear.
EPA, FCC,DOJ, DOE, etc are basically Specailized lawyers practicing in specific fields like divorce lawyers only deal with matrimonial law.
I didn't say it can't be done again. I said in not so many words that it is currently impractical for mass quanties of electric cars when we don't have a good storage mechanism(batteries are heavy and currently suck) nor do we have thee excess capacity in the national energy grid to deal with it.
Electric cars won't be practical until portable fusion arrives.
What is easier to store? Gasoline for 1000 cars or battery packs for 1000 cars? Your typical gas station has a couple thousand gallons of gas below it. A battery pack for elevtric cars occupies 16 cubic feet(figure 4'x4' area). To store enough batteries for 1000 cars will require 16'000 feet of storage or roughly the area occupied by a 5 bay mechanics garage.
It will also by using more power than a hospital. And you need one on every street corner. Even with home charging we will need to double the electtical capacity and output of the USA in order to move a significant populations to electric cars.
Take a look at the whole problem. It is really scary when you put hard numbers into play.
i have been waiting for a mirasol or pixi q tablet for 6 years when I first heard of the displays. I am tired of waiting and waiting and waiting. Just put out a decent device with the display and you will sell enough to pay for that building.
well I always thought it was more like (Politicians + Businesses)*(money + perceived power) = corruption.
I put perceived power in there because most of a politicians power comes from the thought of power that their office holds with what it actually does.
the President of the United States supposedly the most powerful position on EArth really only has three hammers with which to fix things. Lawyers, diplomats, and Military. He has no other tool. what's worse is his diplomats and Military are partially controlled by Congress.
The nook is a great device for reading a light web surfing. I use mine at work to read websites during lunch. However Barnes locked down the device that it gets stuck with a crappy browser and even crappier email client.
Amazon will lock down the fire even tighter. Sure a cracking group will break it. However dont expect anything close to ipad functionality without voiding your warrenty and installing a custom OS maade by crackers.
Your an idiot. Hummers arent more useful than MBT's as hummers are getting wiped out by IED's
artillery, MBT's etc are what is used to wipe out critical infrastructure. Piloted planes some and drones even lesscan only target some things and those not very reliably. A simple look at the numbers of civilians killed by drone strikes should tell you that planes arent always the best idea.
Intelligent people want their armed forces mobile, with numbers of and various sizes ofweapons. An m-16 cant knock down a building. A sniper rifle cant be replaced with a laser guided bomb. Etc.
Nuclear weapons are a part of Total War. A concept that you have no knowledge of. World war II was the last total war. Basically because no one wanted another. Unfortunately those survivors have grown old and their childern dont know the lessons about total war and the devestation it brings.
The thing is in order to run flash properly(think windows not linux or OS X) Flash needs direct hardware access at levels above that of say video games.
This is why flash lite and now flash mobile is so do damn hard to get and each handset has to have it's own port, it is because a simple change like apple going from A4 to A5 processor required a complete rebuild of the software stack.
It is why flash is only on some android devices. every little processor change was harder to deal with than for the complete OS.

The Tesla also has 1/3 rd the range of a regular 30 mpg car. Which means it uses three times the power.
Did your numbers account for that?
FORD uses Microsoft software for it's screens. of course it needs updates. they are probably software patches to keep the damn things from crashing so often
Not all salt is created equal.
The salt that is used in solar thermal isn't the same as the salt you put on your food, or the use to clear the roads.

State dept are diplomats.
Now point out where I am wrong?
Take a look at "the entire elective branch". It is lawyers, diplomats, and military
It is what makes up the cabinet. The heads of various agencies also fall into the same lines.

except you can't buy it any more, very heavy, oh and it comes with the shittiest software stack since windows me.

Ones grows an army of monster plants so the plants can defend themselves from the evil vegetarains.
After all vegetarians only attack things that cant fight back.

For being so Powerful he really can't do much.
It is Oklahoma where the wind routinely rips down the homes people put up. There isn't much there to make unrecoverable ruins to begin with.
I am typing this on a nook color(stock)
The nook is a great device for reading a light web surfing. I use mine at work to read websites during lunch. However Barnes locked down the device that it gets stuck with a crappy browser and even crappier email client.

Just remember God may not be watching but the little old lady next door just looks out her windows for the local soap opera.
That arguement you and your signifcant other hand was done near an open window. Half the neighborhood heard it.
Facebook just records all the same stupid things you do all day long. It is the only difference.
Of course it doesnt record mine. I have never once visited any facebook.com addresses. And thats the way i like it.
Just remember you can play bluegrass and jazz without electricity. Unlike all rock.
