The sunlight is mighty dim in that neighborhood. They get their power from RTGs - radiothermal generators. PU238 generates a lot of heat as it decays and semiconductor junctions turn it into electricity. But the PU238 decays, and the semiconductor junctions take a beating from the radiation sleeting through them, so the power package has a finite lifetime - which is just about done.
They're really enthusiastic, mention that they think it's great at every opportunity, and can't understand when someone is underwhelmed by the object of their admiration....
Smoking isn't costly to society - it actually saves money, since it kills people off before they get age related degenerative diseases that are rally costly to treat.
Dems have lost all four special elections so far. Heck, at this rate, we;re gonna see Trump get reelected. The mid term elections should tell the tale....
Heh....this reminds me of the old aviation story. At Templehof airport in Berlin, a Lufthansa pilot was struggling to communicate with the Tower in English, which he did not speak very well. In frustration, he announced he was a German Pilot in a German plane in Germany, why did he have to use English to talk to the Tower. A British pilot in a British Airways plane replied on the radio "Because you lost the bloody war!"
I've seen this happen before...they're gonna make something wildly different, and then they are going to make Windows look like it, and tell us all that we are all wrong for not liking it....
Correlation doesn't imply causation. It's more likely that as the baby boomers get old and raise the average age of the population, crime goes down, since most crimes are done by the younger more active parts of a population.
"Greenland looks roughly the size of Africa when it is actually about 14 times smaller." Actually, if you make something 1 times smaller, it's gone! Nothing left! Perhaps you meant 1/14 the size, instead of "14 times smaller"....
Molly and Armitage ate in silence, while Case sawed shakily
at his steak, reducing it to uneaten bite-sized fragments, which
he pushed around in the rich sauce, finally abandoning the
whole thing.
`Jesus,' Molly said, her own plate empty, `gimme that.
You know what this costs?' She took his plate. `They gotta
raise a whole animal for years and then they kill it. This isn't
vat stuff.' She forked a mouthful up and chewed.
...of the time when Glenn Seaborg had the only sample of Plutoniium in the world in his pocket while traveling to another lab. If his pocket had been picked or he'd been run over in traffic, things could have turned out quite differently..
HA! I did the same once and after cursing at me the guy told me that they knew my address and were sending jihadis to cut my head off with a sword. I told him I live in Texas and go armed, and that hereabouts we think it's foolish to bring a sword to a gun fight. He hung up.
How ironic - everyone was so worried about anthropogenic climate change, and then the Earth's magnetic field disappeared for three years before reappearing with the poles swapped, and killed everyone in the process...a shame we never started Lunar or Martian colonies....
Your statement is especially ironic, since many of the scientists and engineers of the space program of the 60s, that put men on the moon, were inspired by the science fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s that they read as young people.

...yah, maybe it will have wireless charging. But if it doesn't have a built in normal audio jack, it will also not hav me as a customer....

My taste in movies correlates highly with the Rotten Tomato score - if a movie rates below 80%, I know I don't want to waste my time and money on it.

Man, I wish I had some upvotes. YOu're hitting the nail on the head.

References, or it did't happen.
