As others have said, a geostationary satellite isn't a problem for voice comms. I've made calls over satellite to the south Pacific -- there's a minor lag. You can carry on a conversation using voice, via EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) with the right equipment, if you're willing to put up with the distortion and doppler shift.
Coal is a convenience. Long before coal was widely available, they used to use wood, charcoal, and peat. In a pinch you could use anything that will burn. The trick is to add oxygen (air) with a bellows, without which it's hard to melt iron even with anthracite coal.
From the sound of it you're describing a Crosman or Daisy pump. They're what, 500-600 fps max? Not enough energy, insufficient penetration, for anything bigger than a smallish rat. IF you're going to use an air rifle, buy one rated for hunting. Generally they'll have muzzle velocities in the 1000 fps+ range for.177.
My desk is a 8mm thick piece of tempered glass. I have a round blank cut from a 3/4" (19mm) plate in my workshop (that's going to be used to make a telescope mirror). They really should be more specific.
You beat me to it. My mother never applied for U.S. citizenship. She lived here for 35 years before she went home to care for her elderly mother. Now, my father, a U.S. citizen, lives overseas. These things happen and it's not a big deal.
"Everything" is made from petroleum because it's convenient and it's cheap. When petroleum becomes expensive, stuff will stop being made universally out of plastics. So, you'll start seeing various alloys of magnesium, titanium, aluminum and steel being used again where there's a cheap plastic injection molded part now. The plastic will be saved for where it's needed. Yes, stuff will become more expensive and that will hurt the economy of the world somewhat. However, You'll likely see less disposable crap and more well built long-lasting repairable stuff to offset the cost somewhat.
Exactly. All three of my children have had to memorize a 6 digit pin, which is also their student ID number. It's not used to monitor what they eat, specifically. It is used to charge the student's account for the meal. We put money into their accounts via an online portal. That way there's no lost lunch money...
School lunches are set up to be nutritious by design. I think someone read too much into this and Fox is being a bit sensational with their coverage...
Congress and the BATF beg to differ: US code federal regulations 27cfr5.22:
"(b) Class 2; whisky. ''Whisky'' is an alcoholic
distillate from a fermented
mash of grain produced at less than
190 proof in such manner that the distillate
possesses the taste, aroma, and
characteristics generally attributed to
whisky, stored in oak containers (except
that corn whisky need not be so
stored), and bottled at not less than 80
proof, and also includes mixtures of
such distillates for which no specific
standards of identity are prescribed"
there are additional definitions for the "named" whiskeys, those for which there is an exiting "standard of identity".
Yeah, that's pretty typical in these auctions... They value the property too high. Used office chair: $250. 3yr old PC: $800. 5yr old server (no software): $8,000. Intellectual Property: $2,500,000,000. Stupidity like that.
almost. "Corn whiskey" fits your definition... As does "blended whiskey" which can be neutral spirits and flavoring mixed with aged whiskey. Everything else has to spend time in a new charred white-oak barrel. At least two years to become "straight ____ whiskey", bourbon, or tennessee whiskey. There are rules... And you should stay away from the cheap(est) stuff.
Funny that I should receive an email today inviting me to a Northrop Grumman Information Systems Hiring Event. The event occurs on the 25th of August and I received the email on the afternoon of the 27th. Failed there too!
Damn. I'm a part-time dev and I turn off that feature because I don't want Microsoft seeing my mistakes. And they're harmless. Pretty damn bold (and stupid) to be writing malicious code and reporting the failures back to the Microsoft.

And yet... you'll find Windows used in mission critical control systems anyway.

Wow. Just Wow. How do you find time to eat?

no open containers (containing alcoholic beverages) in the car. That's the rule where I am.

so even if they change course, don't expect Bruce Willis to be called in.
except that they're likely to expend that energy in the upper atmosphere, where they'll do little harm.

swift, certain punishment for any deviations from an established, legally unobjectionable routine
won't work in many cases unless the "swift, certain punishment" is lethal, or damn near. Like small explosive charges...
Even the summary makes it clear that the Kodak prototype preceded your experience by 14 years.
That was good. Not surprised he was fired; but, it was definitely good.
That's a good point. And it would give give weight to the patents in court, since apparently (all ties aside) Microsoft saw the validity and paid.
Suing Microsoft would be suing himself. His company could do it but it might not make much sense financially.
IEDs will just have to get a longer reach. Something that can take out a flying humvee.
