Which fits into your Ipod? Batteries are so complicated that half the world's electronics contain them. I agree with you on alternative fuels. At the end of the day, whatever gets us to reduce our consumption of oil without harming our food supply and minimizing the harm in our biosphere...

Since oil is a commodity, and the US/Canada operate of free market principles, any shock on oil production in OPEC or in any other part of the world can and will screw us up. OPEC and several other oil producing countries are not quite stable to Western interests as China. There may well...

It seems insufficient right now, but five years from now, it probably wouldn't be. You understand that neither lithium nor nickel are rare earth metals right? There are large reserves in South America, Canada, & also sea water. How can these metals be so rare that pretty much all battery...

You understand that neither aluminum nor lithium are rare metal by any means. At the same time, batteries do not use lithium in the same quantities steel, aluminum, or even silicates would be used in vehicles. Batteries are also recyclable. It's a lot better to try to reduce our carbon...

If everybody had that attitude, nothing would get done. Why do you need to peg your goal so high at the start? You need to start somewhere, even if it isn't as efficient as you want. As economy of scale & competition kicks in, the cost of production will drop. Prices will drop and usage will...

This. It's like make the ho say no. Your other option, which i did, was to say take an offer now with a caveat that your compensation will be re-examined in six months or so for an increase to 45K based on performance. Get that in writing Employers expect to negotiate for people they want...

It's a bit different back then in that GW had the potential to become the leader of a colony/nation. He was an officer which meant that he was in a good position to move up and become influential in the future. If he had been a ranker, Custis would probably not have considered him. In a way...

the same cultures that sacrificed people to their gods and had their leaders marry their own siblings to keep the royal lineage pure. Yes, let's listen to these incestuously.... i mean, highly connected people.

You focus on TV's as an end all of technology yet ignore others like the computer you're typing on. Why not focus on the technology that you find useful and forget the rest? YOU control whether you're a zombie or not.

Dude, you just answered yourself. The law, according to you is outdated. Nobody's pushed to have it lowered. Is anyone going to change it so you can hit some pre-18 year old ass? Probably not. Why don't you do something about it?

It seems to me that many people just do not understand what it takes to become a high level athlete in any sport nor basing your livelihood on that sport. Make no mistake, competitive (as seen in competition) MMA artists are athletes. Also, as athlete trying to make a living off fighting...

Considering the vast majority of MMA athletes focus their violence inside the ring as opposed to in public, don't see where your comment about anger management issues come up.

So we should consider looks as the only pre-requisite for manliness?

Interestingly enough, read up on national agricultural protectionist policies a few years ago. Sugar is heavily protected by the US government. As a result, cane sugar becomes more expensive prompting firms to switch to cheaper substitutes (corn syrup). This is not a conspiracy per se, but a...

Think of it, the Europeans you meet in the US are the people who are the most curious about stuff and have the resources to travel. The sample of people you'd meet could most likely be smarter than average.

Commitment is giving your word, integrity is honouring it. There is a significant difference. It's called bankruptcy. You pay a price but you can walk away. So would you stay in a marriage that both you and your partner both agree will not work for you? Should you subject your children to...

I agree, she egged it on both with her camera & words, she picked up the older guy's bag for whatever reason. I thought her friend and her are just as guilty as the black guy. I thought both guys just wouldn't back down and just aggravated each other. But at the end of the day, they...

The camera woman apologizes for stuff here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbsX5j-8T3Y&feature=channel Says both guys were 50 and over. People & their drama.

I thought he just wanted to try something new and exercise. Boxing is probably the cheapest. Here in Vancouver, Canada, the cheapest legit kickboxing program is about $75/month while BJJ is usually well over $100. Combining both will cost you 130 and above. Boxing, on the other hand is...

Since you did not mention self defense exclusively, I suggest you try out a school that has both the striking and grappling like most MMA schools. Most schools will let you try out classes to see which you like. I don't think you can go wrong as long as you try them out for a couple of...
