Back in the 1990ies I used to do some IT for an engineering company that almost exclusively used NeXTstations. The company owner wanted me to admin their NeXTstations, almost forcing me to borrow a ton of manuals, but back then I was a DOS and OS/2 guy, so after some time trying to make sense out of NeXTStep (and my English wasn't that good back then hence reading those manuals was difficult) I've declined. I kinda regret it now - could have earned a lot of money.
Maybe where you come from, but German police is trained to shoot to stop. This is one of the reasons why in Germany only about 12 persons per year get shot to death by the police. German police is also trained to only shoot as ultima ratio when there is no other way to stop a person instead of using their firearm when they are scared. This is why many German cops never once have shot at people during their decades-long carreer.
Why would you have a grille opening in a car that doesn't need an air intake? Besides, these wannabe-mouths are usually ugly. I miss the 80ies, back then they tried to hide these for aerodynamic reasons.
What exactly is wrong with a little wellbutrin induced hypomania? I mean, I am not a smoker, never have been, took that stuff to help with my depression, and frankly, it was really enjoyable for a while. Alas, it didn't last.
This kind of crap is more likely to happen when an American company is caught breaking the law in the EU. Germans generally agree that VW et al had it coming.
Musk will build lithium batteries because he is going to build them anyway for his cars, using the cells that fail QA for power grid installations. Musk is, in this way, an exception, not a rule because for grid installation the weight and the size of the battery is not important - even classic lead acid would be fine. Besides, with enough solar and wind capacity you would not need storage whatsoever - nights are more windy than days anyway and good old hydro can do the rest - use the water stored in the dam during the night, let it fill up again during the day.
I live in Germany - lots of wind energy used here - and the last time I have fried a motherboard was in the late 1990ies (that motherboard was the first one available for the slot A AMD Athlon) when a BIOS flash went wrong. If your power grid stability sucks donkey balls it is not the fault of wind power.
Mostly because nobody lives in Vermont. It has the same amount of inhabitants as a large town but lower population density than many villages. It is kind of difficult to kill someone if there if you have to drive for half an hour just to find a potential victim.
Linux requires drivers being compiled for a specific kernel thanks to not having a stable ABI because reasons. Windows does have a stable ABI, even Windows 2000 drivers can work with Windows 10. This is just Microsoft dropping support because reasons.
Because literacy is a large part of human intelligence. Also your "functional illiteracy" is a non-sequitur. I grew up in such a Marxist dictatorship, functional illiteracy wouldn't do there. Matter of fact, current German schools are quite a bit weaker on education than GDR schools have been. Science and education have generally been quite important in Marxist countries - basically one of the few good things about them.
Not really. Marxist dictatorships generally had very strong literacy campaigns (Cuba went from about 60% literacy to almost 100% in 30 years, USSR went from 25% to almost 100% in about the same time, China also had something similar) and tried to train as many engineers and scientists as possible. There was a good reason why the GDR national symbol had a technical drawing instrument on it.
Russia is worse, though - they are also marching towards absolutist monarchy and while USA certainly has its fair share of vocal conspiracy, right wing and religious nutters, in Russia they sit in the government and make one crazy law after another.

What positive effect did it have on Algeria?
And shoot them again in the head, just to be sure. I get it.
You guys are nuts.

Iron maybe, but not nickel - heavy metal will never die.

As someone who has to fly two times a week, I can only say that belts with plastic buckles are godsend.
Is it my accent?

Too many offshore windparks at one place is, indeed, a problem. If there is no wind all of them will stand still.

It is a well-known fact that crime rate is proportional to population density.

Hollywood history strikes again.
And so do nipples. Some cultural beliefs are backwards on that way.
