Maybe also berate anyone posting under the name "bennetthaselton" or derivatives for besmirching the fine reputation of the deceased... That should effectively quell any dissent from a certain interested party without breaking character.
Oh dear oh dear. Yes, quotation marks can be used to show quoted content, but they can also be used to highlight euphemisms, slang, sarcasm etc. They can also be used to highlight the using of a reference (to a work).
Your pet peeve is not founded in reality, much like the majority of the drivel you see fit to repeatedly spew forth in the midst of otherwise decent discussions.
So you are assuming that because the hydrocarbons on Titan were not formed by dinosaur or plant decomposition, that hydrocarbons are easy to make? By that logic making a 2,500 km-diameter moon in orbit around Titan is easy... Genius work, sparky.
Flywheels (in vacuums with magnetic bearings) can achieve up to 85% efficiency, and pumped storage hydroelectricity has been used with up to 87% efficiency, I'd say you need to go brush up...
Are you seriously suggesting that all the climate scientists in the world forgot that fact, or are you suggesting that they are all in cahoots to pretend that's not a fact? Either way you are a muppet of monumental proportions. Just thinking about what you just said should make you realise that...
No. That is some outdated nonsensical, Fox News-esque thinly-veiled xenophobia. China is serious about tackling its pollution, and realises it has a lot of work to do, and is investing heavily in renewables and nuclear power.
So America still uses the same cables and poles? Your argument doesn't hold water. Not all German cities were bombed into oblivion, and those have underground cabling...
Surely that would make it more difficult, due to the large number of unexploded bombs buried in the ground. Trying to excuse the sorry state of utilities in the US in that manner only serves to make you look foolish.
In most European places I've seen, the long-distance lines are above ground (which constitutes the "grid"), and in cities and towns the cables are below ground. The size of the US doesn't matter, as we are talking about cities. As others have pointed out, the grid is redundant, but the cabling in towns and cities is not. No-one is talking about running rural lines underground, just those in cities, where it makes sense and provides a first-world power supply. Trotting out the "but we so biiiig!" argument when someone points out that the US's infrastructure is sometimes laughable only perpetuates the issues, and ensures that they will never be fixed.
Luckily you aren't running the world, as your knowledge of battery technology seems bizarrely inaccurate. It's as if you're trying to be as wrong as you can...
The population density argument simply doesn't hold water, as otherwise all US cities would have far better internet than all of Europe, which is laughable. Just stop using this canard as it reflects very poorly on the person using it, as it shows they either have a very poor grasp of the subject at hand, or are being intentionally dishonest. There is no way to use that pathetic excuse and come away clean.
They have, but you don't know about it, as you prefer to be against trying to do anything about global warming, than to educate yourself. Either that or you were lying when you posted that. Or you are just intellectually lazy. It's got to be one of those... your choice;)
Then surely you are for fixing these endemic issues of the US black community, as well as supporting stop & frisk as a temporary solution to ease the symptoms...
The average density, sure, but there are areas of London which are incredibly densely populated. Parts of it are still organised based on the much-earlier medieval layout.
If you decreased the wealth gap between the richest and the poorest you'd see a lot less crime. The races or cultures present matters not one iota - it's all about money. Humans are practically identical, regardless of their race. The only diversity which is dangerous is that of wealth. Societies with good protection of the poor (including free healthcare) and good social mobility have fewer crimes and less recidivism, regardless of the cultural make-up of said society. Just pointing to minorities and saying "see - different-looking people. That's the cause" ensures it will continue unabated forever. Look into the actual causes, not the symptoms.

And funny you wrote that in a language which was invented elsewhere... If you have to draw arbitrary lines in the sand to denote how awesome your "team" is, you might as well be back at school arguing about Pokémon, as it carries just as much weight and us just as fruitful.
That may be, but the difference is dwarfed by the even larger difference between the hard disk quality from the different manufacturers.
Audiophiles are hilarious.

Wait, didn't you just berate someone for using quotes when not quoting someone? You really are not very good at this, are you?

Get a grip - you really need some help.
Too much CO2 is also dangerous to plants. Also the plants you are talking about are not the same ones we have today.

That describes swathes of Los Angeles, too...

If you are going to criticise others' spelling and grammar it behoves you to not make such mistakes yourself...
The irony. The delicious irony. Get a grip, senior pedant.
Aaah the slippery slope fallacy. Good work.

Which is a pretty big "if", but then logic has never been your strong suit.

Not everyone thinks like you (thank goodness). There are countless millions of people across the civilised world who have no interest in owning a car.
