The "aboot" thing is called Canadian raising and it's partially to do with the listener. If you speak with it, you wouldn't notice it in someone else speaking with it. You would hear it as "about", but an American may hear it as "aboot" or "aboat".
The thing preventing that is that it reduces the effective capacity of the pack by 25%, as I mention in my last sentence.
Making the pack bigger to compensate for that loss isn't a big deal in a car. It's already a big battery pack in a big vehicle which costs tens of thousands of dollars, so making it a bit bigger and a bit more expensive isn't a big problem. A laptop has a lot less wiggle room in terms of size and price.
Same goes for making the pack bigger to allow cooling.
The problem isn't the battery technology, it's the fact that laptop batteries are pretty much put through hell. Complete charge-discharge cycles (Tesla doesn't charge the battery above 85% or allow it to go below 10%), and they have no form of cooling (Tesla uses the vehicle's air conditioning system to keep the batteries at a nice temperature).
Do all that, and the battery will last much longer. But that's generally not practical for a laptop. Allowing room for cooling will result in either a bigger battery pack or less capacity, as will limiting the charge band.
Less voltage per cell than ordinary lithium-ion, lower capacity than ordinary lithium-ion, and the fact that supplying enough volt-amps to fast-charge a car-sized battery pack remains decidedly non-trivial.
My point is that is why studies are required and done. How do you know the cliche is actually based on (correctly interpreted) empirical evidence and isn't incorrect?
I don't care about white coats or funding (barring bias), but on methodology. The cliche has no known methodology for how it was deduced and thus is suspect.
We had that with phone service in the western provinces. Telus (BC and Alberta) used to be a crown corporation, as did MTS (Manitoba), then some bright people decided to privatize them.
Sasktel (Saskatchewan) is still a crown and offers pretty good service IMO, in competition with Shaw, Access, and a bunch of small guys in the major cities.
The headline sucks. This is the first of it's design. That's a different design. That one concentrates it all on a centre tower. This one focuses the heat on a network of pipes containing the salt.
Ah, interpolation, aka. making up data. This doesn't seem like a brilliant idea for purposes with accuracy is important.
Doing the scan quickly and then filling in the missing data computationally is becoming better than doing the scan slowly due to movement. People cannot remain perfectly still (breathing, etc.), so if you do the scan more quickly, you get less motion and less burring.
what is the offense that is committed if a 12 year old becomes a parent?
barring immaculate conception, statutory rape if you're in the US or sexual assault of a minor up here (Canada) if the other parent is more than 2 years older.

Why do Americans like grouping all levels of government together, as if everything from City Hall to the White House were one great monolithic entity?
As far as I can tell, telcom stuff is almost entirely done by municipal governments, which trade monopoly status for various perks, such as free/cheap service to schools and such.
The membership of "a well regulated militia" is defined in the Militia Act of 1792 as being "Each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years", with the "white", "male", and "under 45" specifications removed since then via subsequent laws or court rulings.
We already have hyposprays. They're called jet injectors. They actually predate star trek (they were invented in 1960) and have been used for decades for vaccinations, particularly polio vaccinations in Africa. A diabetic friend of mine also uses one for his insulin.
Depends on your definition of "protecting". Enforcing the availability of information (e.g. accurate, standardized nutritional labels) to parents would fall under my definition of "protecting" children and is definitely the government's role.
The FCC's rules only got struck down for being too vague. If they formulate a list of what words they're not allowed to say (Carlin's list, for example), it would be allowed.
Yes, but is it your information they're holding for a particular purpose (sending you a magazine), and thus your property or is it their information simply about you, and thus their property?

What bank is this?
We'll probably see that start happening when the ATA-8 spec gets finished. Hybrid drives are part of it.

And I can list other similarly long lived simple cliches that have been found to be completely false.

You need about 400,000 litre-metres per kilowatt-hour of storage.
A tower definitely won't cut it. You need a pair of lakes.

The right one. It doesn't necessarily look better per se, but rather looks as the font designers intended.

I think you read that wrong. He was saying they don't include many options because they [the options] are too complicated.
There are absolutely no gay marriages that can build a proper family.
Really? Reality is disagreeing with you.
