Mass transit = twice as slow, when only one vehicle is involved. If you have to transfer to a second mass transit vehicle, figure the trip will take three times as long. Who has this kind of time to waste?
Biking is great, assuming (1) distance is doable, (2) you have a safe place for your bike, (3) you are provided with shower facilities. But if you are provided all of these, you are in a microscopic minority. And how do you carry stuff on a bike? Like other adults?
I lean more toward smaller vehicles, and electric ones...
By any chance, is nVidia planning on doing an end-around on Microsoft with the graphics card hosting a full-blown operating system? 12GB of RAM gets you plenty of working space.
If I'm sitting at a traffic light that I know is going to be a while from commuting past it for the last 10 years it isn't dangerous or rocket science to text your SO what they want to eat or if they need me to pick up anything while I'm at the grocery store.
I nominate this paragraph as the best posted from a cell phone while driving, getting blown and smoking a joint.
Except that "rental" DVDs (labelled as such for years) specifically do not HAVE these features. The goal is "turns" and a D.C. means the customer will watch it a second time with the D.C. turned on.

Heat is a big cpu problem. Have they tried rotating the active core on the fly? When core 0 gets too hot, they switch it off (under single core workload of course) and move activity to core 1. When that gets too hot, I type a bunch more, or you get the picture.
I think there is an ether. It is not "particles", hence the difficulty measuring it, but energy -- thus explaining the 10^^120 discrepancy in the measured vs. calculated background temperature.

Reliability is a word not yet appearing in these comments. I'm thinking back to when the first LED street lights were installed, and there was a proliferation of lights where one portion of the light had failed, creating a very visible and ugly effect. I don't see this today and I'm sure it is because the initial batches of POS lights have been uninstalled.
If this is going to happen again, to lights costing a $1,000+ apiece, times 250,000...we have a potential waste of $250M. Hopefully my city will wait for the good LEDs to make their way to market.
An exceptional post (on an exceptional thread). Thank you.
You might enjoy something I wrote about a father-son activity of my youth. Dad was a man of sparse words, who enjoyed his alone time for sure.
I never would have thought so until now but, by your post's "definition", I am an introvert. [I thought I was just a "thinker", or someone trying to be. Maybe they are the same, or similar?]
And baseball? The best fail 70% of the time, yet millions seem to love the game.
Similarly, beating a high score in a video game. We try a hundred, or a thousand, times, to get that one moment. [I still remember getting 10billion on the ST:TNG pinball game, and this happened at least 20 years ago. One of the hardest, and most enjoyable, pins I've ever played.]
There must be something different at work with these two examples because they are, I think, the opposite of the "Jackpot!" Vegas thing. They seem "healthier".
You make good points. L-Theanine doesn't seem to have a side effects section but it appears to have similar stimulative effects to Noopept. I looked it up in part because I just learned yesterday that someone I will begin caring for in November takes this as a supplement. What a small and connected world we live in.

A couple of posts and responses and my opinion is completely turned around. I still would never take either dietary supplement but can accept that others have measured the costs and benefits, and do.
Wiki's Noopept page is mildly informative. Noopept is 1000 times strongerer than its related Piracetam compounds, but the latter have a much more informative page, including dose and side effects. If someone told me I could ride my bike provided I endured "Symptoms of general excitability, including anxiety, insomnia, irritability, headache, agitation, nervousness, and tremor" I would give up riding. Also interesting is that outside the U.S. this product is considered a drug. Again, this would be enough for me to not take it regularly just so I could feel safer riding a bike. To each his own, indeed.

Right. Gravitational lensing would do the trick.

Is there an energy use study that factors out transportation energy usage? You blew by this difference pretty easily but it must have a huge impact.

Thanks for the reply. I did find the AC hard to understand and was trying, badly, to make a joke about it. Thanks again.
Simplify. Do just these two things in one product and you've got a winner.
Could I have that in plain English?
Historically, the FDIC pays insured deposits within a few days after a bank closes, usually the next business day.

Every industry makes money on continuously re-inventing the wheel.
...and especially the software industry.

Sean Carroll's "Dark Matter, Dark Energy" Great Course to the rescue. Like all GC's, it is very expensive, but libraries seem to have it.

How are we, the U.S., different from East Germany?

The PURSUIT of the car drives us. But obtaining it... The goal is met. We are done.
So that can't happen very often or we fail as a species.

Safe riding.
