If you can't produce crack free concrete, there is something wrong with you.
Concrete is often deliberately cracked to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. That's why we have lines on the sidewalks and joints in the roads. These bacteria would fill those in and cause heaving.
The returning officer could just enter the voter's jurisdiction into a website and print a ballot, which the voter would take into the booth, fill out, and deposit into the ballot box. What's so hard about that?
What's to prevent a hacker from inserting votes into the system? Granted, there is a mechanism for detecting if votes are deleted, but it relies on people checking their vote receipt against a website. The bulk of the population is not going to do that, so a hacker has fairly high probability of being able to delete votes without being detected. And what happens when a hack is detected? Is there a way of determining how many of the ballots are tainted? Do you run the election again, or go with the results of the untainted ballots?
Maybe there is more to this system than was explained in the video, but It doesn't seem entirely bombproof at first glance.
I don't see why "out of town" should be an excuse. Voting is done country-wide on the same day, is it not? Polling stations should have (and probably do have) policies and procedures for handling an out-of-area voter.
Bee colonies. Individual bees don't really matter, apart from the queen. That 40% of bee colonies are dying off when it used to be about 10% is troubling.
How can you have seasonal spikes in yearly figures?
In an annual survey released on Wednesday by the Bee Informed Partnership, a consortium of universities and research laboratories, about 5,000 beekeepers reported losing 42.1 percent of their colonies in the 12-month period that ended in April.
And how, exactly, does that affect the many solar powered devices around the planet? Or the microhydro sites and small scale wind turbines? Or the RGT powered lighthouses and research equipment?
There's lots of stuff designed to be off the grid, or to work specifically when the grid fails, so the loss of the grid is definitely NOT "it".
Nope. Static electricity. One bell is positively charged, and the other negatively. The clapper is attracted to one of the bells, gets charged and is thus repelled. It is attracted to the other bell, where the charge is dissipated and the clapper picks up the opposite charge. The cycle then repeats.
I would recommend reading The World Without Us, which examines what would happen to the relics of our civilization if we, humans, suddenly disappeared...
Or watching the series Life After People which portrays the same thing.
Well, I was kind of surprised to see how high the craft was riding in the water. Perhaps it is the higher wall angle of the dragon compared to the Apollo capsule,

Meh! Ship the whole lot back to Vega if they don't want to live here.
It fits on a floppy disk? We are in 2015, right? What is a 'floppy disk'?
It's an object lesson in using pure assembly. By the time you get anything useful done, technology has moved on.
Pretty soon Penny's shoe app will become a reality.

They could more easily vote for their friends, family, strangers, etc.
As opposed to the right, who vote for someone OTHER THAN friends, family, strangers, etc?

So you're saying this is a propaganda piece by "big corn" who want to jack up the price of honey so more people switch to corn syrup? Diabolical!

I think he meant the Earth-Sun L1 and L2 points.

Technically, the driver of a car never uses the windows in the door of the back seats.
I don't know about you, but I look through them when checking my blind spots during lane changes.
By now all of the air would have leaked out of the tires.
Yes, that is what he said.
And how would that help you identify book pirating vendors from legitimate ones?
The master paused for one minute, then suddenly produced an axe and smashed the novice's disk drive to pieces.
I'll bet the master is also the one who infected the novice's computer with a virus, and set fire to the novice's building.

If NASA wants my design, it'll cost them a lot more than $5000. For $5000, maybe I can whip something up in crayon.
Yeah, it is a convoluted title, all right, and the lack of punctuation really scrambles it. But here's the breakdown, near as I can make out:
A Chapter of "Witch", Square Enix's Demo of Real-time CG system DX-12, Impresses at Microsoft Build
They're trying to cram too much into the title.
um, I'll get back to you when I can think of something to say that can't be responded to with "That's what she said."
That's what SHE said.
Suborbital flights only last for minutes, not days. It's a roller coaster, not a cruise ship.
