You're missing the part where their old job involved launching FRICKEN ROCKETS INTO SPACE! It's like saying if the hottest girl in school went away for the summer no one would want to get in her pants the next year.
One time I got passed by a Taurus when I was doing 110 mph. Their speedometer only went up to 75 or something so they had no idea how fast they were really going until I told them later. And we were all "trustworthy" kids.
We've taken the next step by mounting our 15,000 rpm drives in an external enclosure which then spins the drive at a further 10,000 rpms, for a total system speed of 25,000 rpms. Initial benchmarks are very promising!
Why shoot the alien in the head when you can mind control him, have him walk around and expose all his buddies, maybe take a shot at one, then prime a grenade for 0 and drop it at his feet?
But really it's the next logical step. First you remove as many of your own guys from having any chance of getting killed themselves, not because you care about them but so that the people won't get outraged at your losses. Then you don't kill the people on the other side either and the people will let you do just about anything.
"When you cover the Olympics, one thing you cover is how having an event like that affects the local population."
I see. And to see how the event affects the local population one needs to be able to look at the Amnesty International website. That makes perfect sense. Wake me when they start restricting the movements of everyone and following them around, which they will. But let's save the outrage for something actually outrageous.
Somehow I don't equate unfiltered net access with drinking water. They promised not to filter it. Wow, lying about that is a way worse thing to get upset about than the other stuff they do. I'm sure no one has ever made promises to do things to get the games and then not followed through before.
I repeat what does any of that have to do with covering the Olympics? Unless your only purpose in going to cover the games is to actually use them as an excuse to go in and talk about human rights or Tibet or whatever else, in which case why shouldn't China just boot them out of the country? Just blocking a few websites that they had no business going to in the first place doesn't seem unreasonable. That is not what they were allowed in to do. If you want to google China's human rights issues you don't need to fly to China to do so. When the games are in our country do we change our laws to suit the people visiting or do we expect our visitors to comply with them?
A couple years back I ordered six 18" long clamps from amazon. Each weighs about 2 lbs. UPS delivered six mangled 12x12x18 boxes, each containing one clamp and about 50 ft of those air pocket things.
Beyond the extreme unlikely hood of any politician deciding to end their career by taking on the AARP on this, why is our response to make the government decide when our parents shouldn't be driving anymore. The loss of our abilities is gradual and therefore hard to see ourselves, easy to be in denial about, and it means the loss of independence and having to rely on those who once relied on us. A delicate situation which we would like to pass off to the DMV?
How about if an older driver is found to cause an accident because of their reduced abilities you make their children responsible for 50 percent of the damages.
Actually, early man first came very close to words trying to get early woman back to his cave. The first actual words however were spoken the next morning when man rolled over and saw what was lying next to him.
I am assuming that you have a healthy diet but you provide the calories for your extra physical activity with more of a direct carb/protein source. Ie, you keep the same amount of vegetables but have an extra piece of chicken or an extra potato. I concede the food cost can easily be higher, however the whole thing is oversimplified anyway. How much of that exercise was exercise you should have been getting to be healthy in the first place?
From your link, there's also "only" 90% efficiency, the other 10% goes to digestion, so there's a bit more there as well. But also from your link the 2000 calorie diet assumes about 1/3 of that is going towards physical activity. So 2000 *.9 *.35 = 630 calories.
I run 6 miles every 3rd day, sometimes 2nd day, which for my pace and body weight works out to around 700 calories. For a while it would make me very hungry and I did eat quite a bit extra and was losing weight at the same time. But now that it has become routine for me I don't eat very much more. And actually because I only drink water instead of soda I may actually be lower on those days. So the body does adjust to the amount of activity it is getting, and most of us have plenty of calories already in our diets to be doing a significant amount of exercise.
I know the article makes this assumption, but I see no proof of it.
"After sending a signal to the controller to go into rain shut-down mode"
So he turned the thing off remotely, that kind of tips them off doesn't it? Or perhaps they just thought it was faulty and had removed it, then when the police showed up the light bulb went off and they brought it back.
We shouldn't forget that anger has a purpose, and that the driver who ran you off the road will never learn a lesson until he's been hurt or killed, or someone else has been, unless someone goes out of their way to target him with the effects of his actions.
Right, because the load he dropped in his underwear when he saw that oncoming traffic and the near accident following didn't teach him any sort of lesson, but being yelled at by someone he doesn't give a damn about changed his entire world view.
Venting your anger in a situation like that may make you feel better but don't kid yourself into thinking it accomplishes something positive.
It would be kinda bad if the wiring insulation in every house started getting eaten. All I could find on the type of plastic used is "thermoplastic" of which there are so many kinds.
For new homes, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is taking over from copper for water piping.
There's a double edged sword here. Without advertising, new product awareness takes an extremely long time to mature.
True. Try starting up your own business some time and you have a new perspective on advertising. However, it seems like 95% of the national advertising stuff, including everything on tv, is for things that don't need it. It's not about new product awareness but instead just drowning out everything on the planet but your mega-corporation. But it's always easier to tell someone else how they ought to run their business than to do it yourself.
You'd think that the tv executives would have a little more long term vision to see that if every other commercial is for penis pills that people are going to turn away. But then you remember that they are tv executives. I can't even watch a baseball game anymore because the announcers spend more time reading promos than calling the game. And they can't tear themselves away from the ad break until the first pitch is in mid air towards the batter.
The constitution is supposed to allow us to fix the government without it coming to that, but it doesn't seem to be working. So what changes do we need to make to the constitution to make it work? Not that the congress will allow us a convention to fix it.
We have a president who doesn't care what the constitution says at all. We have 2 out of 3 presidential candidates who voted to cede the decision to declare war from the congress to the president. How that isn't even an issue still boggles my mind. Even if you thought going into Iraq was a good idea you shouldn't have voted for that bill. But I digress. We're likely going to hand over the presidency to someone who has already proven they can't uphold the constitution.
NASA is buying a $4 million satellite from itself for $80 million? That is going to be one awesome $76 million dollar launch party, except for all the rocket scientist dweebs hanging around at it.

That's what they want you to do. Then the much larger copyright robot army can go after you for messing with the DRM of the batteries.

The 10 minutes and the full capacity are in large bold print.
At least in this case there's something concrete to point at
Step One: Stop making the capsule out of concrete.

Do you need to access the Amnesty International website to cover the Olympics?
When we rally the people let's leave off the Kalithresh reference.

Biking uses approximately 500 cal/hr at 12 mph, which gives 42 cal/mi.
1 serving of spaghetti provides approximately 200 cal and costs 12 cents.
Assuming your car averages 25 mpg and $4 per gallon:
Biking: 3 cents per mile
Driving: 16 cents per mile

But you aren't having a conversation with the book on tape. Well, maybe you are, but that's a problem for a different study.
