We need to teach people how to use logic, perform analysis and give clear descriptions of what they want to happen
That would be every politician's nightmare... you can't have people thinking and reasoning, they are way too hard to control if they can figure anything out on their own. What makes the job easy is to make everything an emotional issue requiring visceral over reaction.
I too like my models to be a bit nookie... hopefully unoccupied... Definitely don't want no Wookie in my nookie... Have seen some that qualify as Wookie nookie...
Well you could knock me over with a plate of biscuits and gravy... seriously... somebody... damn, now I gotta drive down town for biscuits and gravy...
I'm stunned to see a southern state that has no "religious exemption" or "retarded parent waiver"(I may have paraphrased that one) allowing a bunch of little germ factories to scamper from place to place spreading misery.
Yes, so it would not be a HUD perhaps, but the screen could be a display. That way it could work during the day as well.
So... maybe something to let me play Call of Duty Advanced Warfare while I'm driving to work? That would be so much better than Candy Crush or just texting... </jk>
Really it's just swamp cooler media. The only thing that makes swamp cooling viable is high CFM airflow. I lived with evaporative cooling only (no refrigerated a/c) for 25 years and a small house needs at least a 3000 CFM squirrel cage fan encased in a frame of three or four water soaked paper lattice or Excelsior wood fiber pads providing the moisture. The biggest problem is cooling media degradation due to calcification from hard water. As the water evaporates it leaves minerals behind. Some minerals do get suspended in the air, making a fine white dust, but most of the "lime" rinses through the media and is collected by a pump that runs it through the media again. The water becomes supersaturated in a day and dumps the precipitate on the media as the water evaporates and the temperature of the pad drops. Pumps with a "purge cycle" mitigate the issue somewhat but the media (and pump, and tubing) still becomes plugged and brittle in at most two seasons. Do you print a new wall at that point, or use purified water from the start? A new wood fiber pad is under four bucks (google "swamp cooler pads"), so I don't see how printing media is going to be useful. Passive cooling with wind power is right out, if the air is not moving fast enough it just warms up and then you have heat and humidity.

Before I feed dead mice to my cornsnake I like to say "Yes, my pet, soon you shall feast on RAW FLESH!"
All mice start out raw flesh (with a bit of bone, fur, etc.), so... are you cooking your dead mice? If you visit a pet store you can feed your snake live raw mouse flesh... get a breeding pair and save money. One tip, put the mouse habitat out of sight of the snake habitat... mice get nervous pretty easily.
We start with egg whites boiled for 20 min at 90 C and return a key protein in the egg to working order.
One key protein does not make an egg.
And we can be thankful for that! Otherwise we'd end up having brunch with some asshat who wants his eggs "unboiled three minutes, served with bearnaise sauce on the side and two slices of sour dough bread toasted to be crisp but not darkened"... and you end up wondering are they going to spit in everyone's food or just his?
Wait, I thought it was about the extra risk of driving passengers around. You're saying money changing hands impacts how often the accidents happen?
Increasing the amount of miles you drive on a daily basis will alter the odds you will be in an accident. Being a for hire service makes the odds of a lawsuit higher. So, more time in traffic, more passengers of unknown temperament expecting commercial quality service and protection, no mandated maintenance or inspections. I would expect commercial insurance and drivers license to be a minimum in every state. My insurance went up when I reported increasing my miles per year, and I don't have a passenger that will sue on board... I'd also bet there will now be language in your insurance policy that voids all but minimum coverage if you use the vehicle for commercial gain without having previously reported that fact to your insurer. If they write a policy, the type use of the vehicle is stated in the policy, mine has been for years. Non-commercial, no other drivers, under 12,500 miles annually... all in black and white... I wonder if Uber drivers insurance policies are already actually void due to fine print.
I'm working on an app that changes the text input cursor blink rate if your turn signal is on for more than twenty seconds... helps maintain the illusion of driver attentiveness. I have a couple more features to work out (shoe and bicycle part recognition mostly) and then I'll be calling the app "Oh Crap What Did I Just Hit?" Now if I can just tie into the cars backup cam for a screen grab after crashing sounds...
And it will be as soon as a few lawmakers get glassed out of office via a Youtube scandal... BTW dibs on the use of "Glassed" as a voyeurism type verb!

That's true. The minute you pay for the cable, you really have been fucked!
Now you have me wondering if we can make dumb people smart, and mean people nice. We may achieve world peace through fecal transplants.
That sounds like a load of crap...
Yes, we need a distro for everyone!
I therefore propose a "Neapolitan Debian".

Your CPU's obsolete

People drove in black and white for years... watch an old movie...
Signal meaning can be interpreted by position, color blind people drive just fine.
Sadly if you RTF[A/S] they say:

Back in my day upside down smiley faces were used by left handed people.
I thought that was called "The Stranger"...
or was that just right handed people using their left hands?
...Android beat them to the punch for "Affordable smartphone OS", while apple beat them to the punch for "Luxury smartphone OS".
...Really, I have to wonder what Microsoft is thinking these days.
They are thinking that there is a total vacuum in the "Magical Smart Phone OS" category...

As long as the plot's NOT in Lucas's hands, I'm happy.
I agree, let Jar Jar have a shot at it...
Mesa has great plot lines and also no stinkowiff dialog! Wesa all gonnna be wich!

The scrolls were found to contain long-winded, mostly irrational arguments regarding the contents of another (unseen) scroll.
They need to set the x-ray phase contrast imaging device to scan at -1 to see hidden scrolls...
