    How do you deal with sweat and perspiration in Florida? (I commute 12 miles each way each day by bike in Europe and shower at work)

    Watch how pumped water storage will be massively increased. It will happen.

    Politicians do understand, they just don't care about reality, they just want to be able to cynically boast to their voters they are fighting the Evil Terrorists and Evil Corporations "for the children".

  7. Was Star Trek so parochial and small minded that the next humanoid race was only 16 light years away???? In the Star Trek Universe is every Goldilocks world "habited"?

    I think you are confusing capital expenditure with operating expenses.

  9. Re:It's simple.. on Why Is American Mass Transit So Bad? It's a Long Story. (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    That is not an answer - there are powerful people in Europe, London and New York, but there is still mass transit. Population Density, entitlement, attitudes to "common good" all contribute.

  10. Re:"Lower concentrations" on Climate Change Could Lead To Nutrient Deficiency For Hundreds of Millions (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 1

    what do you mean by "overall increase of nutrition"? Do you want to eat 25% more bread to get the nutrients you need? This will lead to obesity and diabetes if people need to eat more carbohyrates.

  11. You 're free to drive in any lane you like until the next traffic light in 300 yards.

  12. Re:Bureaucrats on Microfilm Lasts Half a Millennium (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I used a microfilm reader Saturday at my State Library. The Fast Forward scrolled 10 pages/second and the forward took 10 seconds to scroll one page. the speed control dial didn't work.
    It was fun and nostalgic and cool to show my teenage daughter 20th C tech but I would have preferred a PDF of the 500 pages on that reel. The documents were scribbled in 1836 and I will take months to transcribe them. I want to print them out on paper and transcribe when time comes.
    Some of the pages are very faint because whoever filmed them got some light settings wrong. Today we could rescan in full color and read them better.

  13. What will snake milkers now be called? Should we rename milk of magnesia? Milky Way? We should also ban the word galaxy as it comes from Greek galaktos.
    What about galactose? It is found in milk as well as avocados? Lactose is produced in human muscles - males do it too.

  14. I couldn't stop saying Wow, just Wow. This is truly stunning!

    Welcome to America, where monopolies reign.

  20. bioedegrable plastic sacks.

  21. The victim didn't buy this stuff, the perp did, installed it, and the left, leaving the victim with unknown tech in the house. So there is nothing to blame the victim for. If "he" installed the internet router and other geek IoT things, how is "she" supposed to know what it is without paying an electrician $100+ to go through and explain what the junk is. "She" knows if she touches anyhting herself the internet and tv probably stop working.
    This is abuse of secret knowledge by a geek "he" over a non-geek "she".
    And yes, I know couples where she changes the light-bulbs and he is clueless, because he doesn't know the difference between 20W and 40W and doesn't know which way to screw in the lightbulb (clockwise?? counterclockwise??)

    Isn't a physical key a single point of failure?

  23. Re:The Great Truth Revealed on Portland Kicks Off Smart City Initiative With Traffic Sensor Safety Project (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Clearly you are ignoring public health, happiness, livability, and air pollution when you calculate "lower costs". When people can walk and ride, the centers of town become more lively, friendly, people interact more and spend more time there. It becomes a fun place to be, instead of a place to get out of.

  24. It could be so much easier! on Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police iPhone Unlockers (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What if your left thumb unlocked your phone and your right thumb wiped the device invisibly? The criminal could never know, you deniability and the police will be too scared to tap your dead finger to the phone.
    Or what if left-right-left unlocked and left-right-right wiped?
