Those whose nearest neighbor is 200 km away and own cattle stations larger than some US states. The kind of people who aren't even connected to the electricity grid but rather generate their own power via generators/solar.
Shouldn't that "kind of people" be outside minding the livestock on their Rhode Island-sized ranch, keeping an eye on the generator and watching for dingo attacks instead of updating their Facebook page?
>I'm 32 years old. I have a 1200 ft^2 house that will be paid for next year. My parents had a 3000 ft^2 house that they never finished paying off.
You need to include a little background on the houses for the comparison to be worth anything. The square footage is not enough to compare two different houses. For example, if I limited my search to the Milwaukee area, I could probably find a 1200 sq ft house (probably withing walking distance of Northridge) that I could purchase with my Visa card. I could also find a 3000 sq ft house (Brookfield, Whitefolks Bay, something with a view of Lake Michigan, etc.) that would be outside of my price range even though I make good money for this corner of the state and have no debt other than my current home.
If you and your parents did not reside in the same area, then your comparison holds very little water.
>The final part would encourage the adoption of accelerator pedals that users slip their feet into rather than just on top of. This would provide the same ability to positively influence the pedal return rather than expect the spring to do so.
A gas pedal that you slip your foot into? That's insane. How would you account for all the different size footware that the hollow gas pedal (imagine a slipper made out of steel) would accommodate? Could you build something that would fit my steel toe work boots as well as the little tiny sneakers on a 16 year-old-girl? Back in the real world, if you want to have "positive throttle closure" via cable, why not place a pivot point in the middle of the gas pedal? Pressing down with the the ball of your foot would make the pedal rock forward (from the driver's POV) to accelerate and pressing down with the heel would rock the pedal backward (from the driver's POV), closing the throttle. No "steel slippers" in my car, thanks.
You often need lots of land for the leech field, half a mile of various pipes, and the concrete tank, all underground. And you need the plumbing in the house. If you were to build a new septic system today, you probably need $50-100K to do that (not counting permits.)
>So they use more antibiotics and cleaning agents than even the most overprotective mother ever could (which, btw, is about the worst thing you can do to your kids

>I would wager that if he was to look at outbound traffic at the same time as the inbound "stripes" he would indeed find a correlation.
For firewall logs related to procotols that the firewall treats as stateful, the log entries usually have a source ip and destination ip. A single log entry covers both the packets generated by the local system as well as the responses received from the remote system. For a single stateful session, there are not separate log entries for the "outbound" requests and the "inbound" replies. In your example with ping (ICMP), some firewalls treat a ping as a stateful connection and will log just one entry that covers the outbound echo request and the inbound echo reply.
>The guy you quoted is British, that would explain the "British style"... idiot. That does indeed make you a Troll.
Where in that person's post do you see that the person is British? Is it in his username, "Lemming Mark"? Is it his UID? What part of his post tells me his country of origin? I think you are the idiot.
I stand by my original comment posted above: Leave the "British-isms" like "torch", "bonnet", "boot" and "petrol" (and the annoying use of plural verbs with singular nouns) on your own side of the ocean. It's not cool, cute or hip. It's just annoying.
>But the nice thing about power plants, as opposed to internal combustion engines in your cars, is that they're centralized. One big chimney, instead of hundreds or thousands of them. A single chimney to inspect, regulate, filter, clean, whatever.
Chimney? What kind of nuclear plant did you live next to? Nuclear plants don't have chimneys. Are you thinking of the cooling towers? That isn't smoke coming out of the top of a cooling tower, that's water vapor.
>Financial pressure would inevitably produce a nice robust algae that produced biofuel that needed minimal or no refinement. In other words, you'd have an organic self-replicating oil producing machine.

>I'm putting my money on high except for the last one. Wikipediate "Central Vacuum System".
I agree. I've seen houses with "Central Vacuum." But the OP wanted a tube system that could carry both "packets of water" as well as dust bunnies. Somehow I don't think the two would mix well.
>
I've occasionally thought it would be interesting to use this kind of technology for home plumbing. For example, when you turn on your sink and ask for hot water, instead of having a continuous flow in a pipe from the hot water heater to the sink (which wastes a lot of energy), why not use a pneumatic tube system to deliver a packet of hot water to the sink?
Are you fucking high?
>Note that the same tubes could be used for delivering hot water an cold water, and taking away waste water? (You'd have separate containers, of course, for fresh water and waste water).
Are you fucking high?

>22nd century technology will have it rebuild the sample atom by atom at the destination.....
Why? By the time we have the ability to dis-assemble and re-assemble tissue samples (for example), we'll be able to put a mini-lab close to the patient care providers. Instead of tubing a tissue sample across campus for analysis, the nurse will just pop the sample into the nearest mini-lab and press the button for "Analyze". It'll be just like "CSI:Miami" at every nurses' station.
> I suppose I'm on the business end of the whole mental health thing, so I'm bound to be biased. Even so, you do not want to get involved in this stuff. I have yet to hear of anyone that has actually been helped, or even not hurt by psychiatrists.
I have been helped a great deal both by psychiatrists as well as by medications like anti-depressants. The psychiatrist that helped me through some very rough times in my life has kept me from falling apart. He has also provided some valuable insight that I would have not otherwise had. I have recommended this guy to other people who were in a bad spot and he has helped them as well.
You do a great disservice to people who may be suffering from depression, anxiety or other disorders by telling them that "well, i've never heard of no one who got halped!" Speaking from personal experience, it's hard enough to admit that things have spiraled out of control and that you need help. It takes a lot of balls to make that first phone call and make an appointment. Your statement just made things that much harder for someone who is working-up the nerve to make that call.
If you worked with a mental health professional and you did not get the results you were seeking, FIRE HIS/HER ASS. There is no law that says you have to stick with the first doctor you talk to. I have worked with many docs on the medications. It took me quite a few tries to find a guy that I like working with who is also very, very smart when it comes to the drugs. Don't feel the least bit of guilt about saying to your doc, "Sorry, you aren't cutting it for me. I won't be coming back to see you." You are the consumer. You are the person paying for the "service". If you don't like the service you are getting, take your money somewhere else.
In addition to my own personal success with both medications as well as "talk therapy", I know quite a few friends who have been helped by mental health professionals. Getting professional help is far better than the solutions available in the past: drink yourself numb, beat your family or chew on the barrel of a firearm.
>Years ago, there were no fancy drugs or somesuch to be prescribed for mental health conditions.
And people suffered with their problems. They beat their kids. Or they drank heavily. Or they beat their wife.
>For the most part, people just dealt with their issues.
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I don't think life was all sunshine and rainbows before the first Prozac pill was handed-out. I think a lot of people who needed help were just miserable, treated themselves with alchohol or were prescribed some other medications that did not help.
> Until then, I see my seemingly better health now than when I was going to the doctor several times a year as an anecdotal vindication of the hypothesis that too much cleanliness and hygiene and antibiotic use can be as bad or worse than none, because our immune systems need to develop and thrive by exposure to lesser bacteria in order to be ready to take on serious ones.
How about *my* theory: You moved from a crappy, high-stress job in a crappy city in California to a lower-stress job out in the sticks and now you are not sick as often because the needle on your Stress Meter is not constantly pegged. It is generally accepted that stress affects the body's immune system.
