(Un)fortunately, he has to be converted into a cadever before it'll work.
Actually, when you do the math, moving the ISS is pretty crazy. The mass of the fuel needed to move it any where useful and the amount of trips needed to move all of the stuff up there is pretty ridiculous. Although, if I remember correctly that's with rockets, and if you use some theoretical/experimental higher thrust electric stuff you are only "take away the scissors" crazy vs "lock up and throw away the key" crazy.
I never thought about using my student loan for a Porsche, although thinking back now it probably would have been a better way to go. That said every time I went by that place I felt like they'd probably lock the doors if I walked up...
The lakes are drying up because dumbass humans are sucking all of the water out of them and their feeding rivers.
And nobody ever mentions that as the CO2 amounts are going up, large swaths of forest are being clear cut. You know about forests, right? They take CO2 in and output O2. I suspect (and since I'm pontificating on the internet I don't really need to back up) that that has more to do with ocean acidification and general CO2ness than stupid cars.
The demonstratable anthropomorphic climate change examples are likly predominated by too many people stripping the land bare more so than CO2 output of energy production.
I would assume since you're pointing out that it's american football, you've seen some rest o' the world football. I'd suspect that a study of the guys who slam their heads against a leather sphere probably suffer from similar results...
Sports are dangerous, always have been. I'd be interested in some of the curling statistics! (I mean mixing ice and alcohol can't be good, and that sport makes zero sense sober)
Bingo! It's a case of purposely confusing teen sex with child sex. Child sex is a reasonable taboo because they aren't sexually mature, so there's nothing really natural about it. This taboo on teen sex on the other hand is pretty screwy. It is somehow wrong to be interested in a sexually mature female. For most of human history these "kids" would be married off and be about ready to pop out the first baby.
"Hon, I'd like to have another kid...think we should? I dunno hon, but, before you take that rubber off, lets go downstairs and consult our 1040 instructional form, and see what the tax benefits are? What?? We can get how much for procreating tonight?? Rip off that rubber lover, and put that thing in me!!"
I am soooo hot right now! Is she wearing horn rimmed glasses? OMG...
Hrrm brain shortage + someone who's already filled out the paperwork... Is your brain particularly interesting because if it is I can see an accident in your future. Curiously enough your head will be perfectly intact.
Car companies are intelligently designed, not evolved. OK, maybe not intelligently, but they're definitely designed rather than evolved through sexual reproduction. I'd say no.
I dunno. If you look through the who owns who and the who's partnered with whom in the car industry, I'd say sexual reproduction is probably a pretty good description of what goes on. Well sexual reproduction with alot of incest going on.
Yeah that's one thing that frustrated me. Your cities got too big, and there wasn't a good way to reduce the overpopulation short of doing something like that or creating armies of peasants and getting them killed. That said I suspect reality was kind of like that...
I hope this one is as good as it looks. The story campaigns might be interesting too. I've had all of the total war series except the first Medieval, but I don't think I've actually finished more than one long campaign. Getting naval battles right in an RTS could be really sweet, if they pull it off.
Natural Americans have pronunciation differences even from other natural Americans, but no one is getting hopelessly confused here.
Having been around a reasonable amount in the US, I will second your statement on the condition that we do not consider people from Massachusetts as natural Americans. Why'd ya pahk the cah so wicked fah from fenway?
I've also read a few stories where those who especially hate speed cameras will obscure its vision in some manner so that it cannot take accurate pictures or any pictures at all. Assuming that the rate of this mischief is high enough and there are enough other methods available to circumvent the accuracy of these cameras, is it really worthwhile to use them?
Another Top Gear anecdote, but one method of doing that is you wrap it with clear plastic wrap, like for food stuff. Anyways, it's clear so if you look at the video feed it doesn't appear to be broken and won't be fixed, but when the flash goes off it blinds the camera.
So the answer is yes they're pretty useless except that the ratio of griefers to people who just pay is still low enough to turn a profit for now.
I'm guessing you're not in the states, but over, in my experience, taxes get withheld at a higher rate for overtime and bonuses. I think at the end of the year everything balances out, but it at least looks pretty much like "work harder, get F***ed harder". I wasn't fond of working an extra 10 hrs and seeing an almost insignificant increase in my paycheck, and April(tax time) seems a long way off.

where's the (+1 Sacrilege) mod?
TOS was campy and the special effects didn't quite match those of Enterprise, but it was the 60's! More importantly there was no Wesley or Riker!

And nobody ever had a heart attack before cellphones!!!1oneone
I mean shoot to hear some people, humanity was unable to function prior to the invention of the cell phone...
Was it on ring or vibrate?
I also wouldn't look forward to the "what's that smell" conversations...

well there's those string theory guys, but they might not actually be physicists...
Dude, humor is one way humans cope with absolute terror! Start worrying!
of course we are! We use Pyrex now, and the holes are totally deeper!

So we can the financial crisis on idiots who don't understand that GIGO applies in EVERY computer language?
No, but we can the dropping of verbs on idiots who don't understand that they apply to EVERY sentence!
I thought 300 was about attempting to get the Guinness book record for most slow motion decapitations?

And as that teacher you would probably have the least amount of fun grading reports/papers of any.
That said math stuff you do by hand and papers/writing you type. Easy peasy.
Yeah but that's because you're only running it at 1440x900.
For a while, my understanding of the whole SLI scene was that until you started running at 1900x1200 and beyond there was absolutely no need for them.
Even midrange graphics cards can handle pretty much any game on a single monitor smaller than 24", now.
