I think he meant 50F but I have to point out it was 44C in Melbourne yesterday, which is incidently between the two setpoints on my hot water service 40-50). Right now in the Simpson desert it could easily be 70C.
The problem is that a lot of good written SF just doesn't translate to the screen without a really good rework. And then its a different story. I saw elements from a lot of great books in Avatar. The animals are very Niven, the Tree reminds me of A case of Conscience by James Blish. The ship was inspired by Robert Forward. All this stuff gets used eventually.
Hmmm maybe you could send spherical packages down the tube (literally, balls) and use normal pipe junctions. Then you could control air movement for routing. I can't think of a good application with such inconvenient shapes but how about a fast food joint....
Order at your table with a cheap touch screen. Shove cash into a ball, your change comes back the same way, or pay by CC though the UI. Everything on the menu fits into a ball. Used balls go back through a dedicated garbage tube which goes straight to a cleaning machine. There is no other packaging.
Yeah they use them here in Melbourne, Australia. Makes be wonder if you could knock one up with bits from the hardware store. The pipes are easy 90mm stormwater and 100mm sewage are both available. If we go with the cheap 90mm pipe then 70mm pipe could be used for a capsule. Sealing the outside and making it reliable might be a problem. You could experiment with O rings (not for use in cold weather!) with manual lubrication using sump oil.
You would need a low pressure electric pump. Should be a few available off the shelf. Maybe I could rework my front letterbox. Saves one trip out of the house every day.
Fire has a symbiotic relationship with some plants in Australia. The plants help start fire. The fire kills the plants competitors, including other plants and humans.
Somebody else pointed out in this article that you don't want to overuse the connectors on phones because they do eventually break. I charge my phone once a day for this reason. Thats all it is.
I think any such crossover point is way in the future. Babies can be made in the third world for a few bucks. I can't see your typical paedophile being impressed with a robot. They want the real deal and will continue to pay the small amount required to get what they want.
So you build male/female pairs of robots with wifi and an ssh tunnel connecting them. Throw out the AI and substitute it with a teleoperation setup. You would need some sort of body motion capture suit at each end as well. Aim for low latency but I don't see it as too much of a big deal. Pay Woody Allen to promote it.
Now you don't have to worry about being away from your loved one when working and studying overseas.
You should look into nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Its best to steer away from the highest capacity Ni-MH batteries because they are fairly weak mechanically. I have lost a few from modest overheating under charge.
The best thing abut rechargeables over single use batteries is that you can be sure they are a full capacity when you need them. This was the reason given to me by a photographer who was using them for his camera.
Back on topic now. Its a shame Truecompanion don't make a MILF version for oldies like me.

That's not so bad. I'd rather be hung than hanged...
Take it from me. Being hung isn't all its made out to be.

I have definitely seen them in (possibly) older suburban supermarkets. Next time I go I will pay attention. Maybe they were decommissioned, not sure.
If you were really autistic you would lurk and never post.
Here its Eucalypts. 44 Degrees C today. Thats as hot as the water from my hot water service.
Either you have been drinking too much Ethanol or I have not been taking enough Tegretol.
He's a script.
Or he is you.
5) Every vendor seems to have their own names for a virus. For pity sake can we have some kind of standard naming mechanism?
A number or a hash?

I suppose so but this article is about why it didn't happen.

Sounds pretty simple. You just need slightly bigger tubes.
Us humans, and our ancestors, have been doing that for millions of years.

Gives new meaning to the MITM attack.
Its my wife in the middle I am worried about. Fortunately I didn't marry her for her crypto skills.

Like using a flight sim to study for your pilots license. I sense a business opportunity.
If I want a sex partner with multiple personalities, I'll keep my wife.
Although I didn't see PMS-ing Polly on that list.
How about a robot with a Rotary Adjustable Mood Code?
Well she's already smarter than my sister.
For certain definitions of virginity.

Because it will charge whenever you put it down, as opposed to whenever you plug it in.
