  1. I invested the time to find a legal source to watch as I do every time a new season starts.
    Again I found none. In 10min I was watching the first episode of season 7.

    Geo fencing is a shame!

    Once all seasons aired I will buy the collectors box of this cult classic.

  2. I press tab but the editor inserts whatever the project requires. Did the question account for this?

  3. Re:Joke=Switzerland buys-in 85% of its electricity on Switzerland Votes To Abandon Nuclear Power In Favor of Renewables (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pleas read the article again. Only 15% of the fuel is produced in Switzerland not the electricity. We don't have uranium mines and the like here.

    This statistics include not only electricity but also fuel for cars and machines - we don't have any oil!

    From the same page for a study from 2009:

    The study also showed that the production in Switzerland (64.6 TWh) is similar to the amount of electricity consumed in the country (63.7 TWh).[12] Overall, Switzerland export 7.6 TWh and import 6.8 TWh; but, in terms of emissions of carbon dioxide, Switzerland export "clean" electricity causing emissions of 0.1 millions of tonnes of CO2 and import "dirty" electricity causing emissions of 5 millions of tonnes of CO2.[12]

  4. And how many nuclear accidents of significance have they had? It's retarded. You get rid of infra that's already in place and working perfectly well, waste a shit ton of money on less-reliable (at best) renewables, and all because of Green party doctrine.

    Well we need to get rid of the reactors because they reach end of life. We just don't want to replace them with new ones especially now that the companies that run the damned things have a hard time to find the money to decommission them! There are about 2 billion CHF in the pot, the reactor guys estimate about 3,6 for decommissioning but external sources estimate more like 10,5 billions. The tax payers are not happy about this and they voted.

    And for the working perfectly well - last winter 40% of atomic energy was not produced because they needed to bring the old reactors back in to the save working parameters!
    Beznau I isn't working since the middle of 2015!!!

    For the incidents have a look at the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... 86 incidents just for this one reactor but I guess near misses don't count only disasters.

    Yes, it is retarded in deed!

    And yes, I love the extra work as I will see my family and be fed some nice cake and coffee while I'm and my grandparents place.

    No cake for you if you remote update every 5 years!

  7. Sorry no grandma - I only got a grandpa that is on Ubuntu for years. It is not so hard to pull off as I had the choice of hardware and trained him on to Firefox before switching.

    He does not care for the OS. YouTube, Facebook, Gmail, a local news site, and the Webcams on the homepage of his golf club is all he cares about in a PC.

    For me the support got a lot easier after ditching Windows as I had to fix his profile once a week and write the ghost back every few months.
    Now I just go and update Ubuntu every 6 months ;)

    Why you should set a pin or password for your phone:

    The last time I bought a phone I had to wait in a queue was because the lady in front of me did not set a pin or password but her toddler did.
    The shop clerk was very sorry but very sure that nobody not even the manufacturer could unlock the phone without her loosing all her data!

    That was the argument I needed to get my wife to set a pin on her phone ;)

  9. Re:megavitamins on B Vitamins Reduce Schizophrenia Symptoms, Study Finds (newsmax.com) · · Score: 1

    There are also some fat soluble vitamins that are toxic if you take too much (like D).

    Yes, in general fat soluble vitamins have a higher potential of toxic accumulation. But how toxic is it?

    You can use about 50 000 IU per day for a long time with out symptoms.

    Taking 50,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This level is many times higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day. http://www.mayoclinic.org/heal...

    And even this information is old and the 600 IU RDA seams to be lacking. http://articles.mercola.com/si...

    New recommendations are at about 7 000 to 10 000 IU per Day with no access to sunlight at a UV-Index above 2.

    There is a difference in the milk but I would never drink black market milk unpasteurized. Here in Switzerland there are a lot of people that buy there milk directly at the farm and bring it to a boil before consumption. It makes a big difference in taste and consistency to the UHT, PAST and homogenized crap you can buy in the shops. Maybe you need to check some more sources about the milk thing, it is not as black and white as you paint it.
