  3. Re:units please on Tesla's Having Issues Charging In the Cold · · Score: 1

    Below zero is a turn of phrase that means freezing, so 0C.

    You also could have looked it up:
    "Liion batteries offer reasonably good charging performance at cooler temperatures and allow fast-charging in a temperature bandwidth of 5 to 45 C (41 to 113 F). Charging should be performed within this temperature range. Below 5 C, the charge current should be reduced, and no charging is permitted at freezing temperatures" from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

    So again, 0C

    Kind of the same reason that people want to regulate the sale of guns more than the sale of metal in general. Guns only kill things; that is their stated purpose. But there are many positive and constructive uses of other tools. In particular, this 3d printer.

    First read the bills slate.com gives as evidence.

    Now, show me where it says, "teach creationism".

    I'm not saying they are wrong, and that LA/TN aren't teach creationism; but those laws seem to protect teachers from getting fired for teaching [locally controversial] science the way I read them (as long as they don't explicitly say, "you're religion is wrong").

  8. Re:Technology should be used asap on Powering Phones, PCs Using Sugar · · Score: 1

    Why do you believe a battery has to be rechargeable? That isn't in any definition I've ever read. There is a reason rechargable batteries are marketed using that word, because normal batteries (class duracell/energizer I used to buy), were single use, alkaline, deposalbe batteries.

  17. Re:Then you are privileged. on T-Mobile Jumping Into the Check-Cashing Industry · · Score: 1

    Thank you for taking the time to give a good example of this. I never knew what "poor" in america was until I started doing some vounteer work and met some people I otherwise wouldn't have known existed. Also, some recommend this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt17....

    The middle class ideal that "just managing your money better" does work for the middle class. But for us, that decision realistically is, eating out less, going to the movies less/ not at all.

    For the poor, who are living below the poverty line, the choice is, "not eating tonight so my kids can eat". "Paying the gas bill instead of the eletric bill so we don't freeze todeath, but now how to my kids do homework w/o lights?"

    I hate this quote because it oversimplifies economics and human behavior.
