Convenience is the key do you really want to go to the grocery store and pay $1.69 the minibar at $3.00 or split the difference and try the vending machine for $2.25?
What if it's passive? Wifi from the routers of homes emit the RF energy and all the police do is use a detector I could see that as legal since it's energy being emitted just as if it were light shining out a window and you were a silhouette.
>The system, devised by Karl Woodbridge and Kevin Chetty, requires two antennae and a signal processing unit (i.e. computer), and is no larger than a suitcase. Unlike normal radar, which emits radio waves and then measures any reflected signals, this new system operates in complete stealth.
Or #shirtgate when idiot "journalist" (The Atlantic's Rose Eveleth) went ballistic over Philae ESA Project Scientist Matt Taylor's shirt.
Matt had a shirt on with women similar to WWII bomber girls, fully clothed in 1940s/1950s style corsets or as Rose Eveleth and her foaming at the mouth outraged Twitter followers say they are naked women.
If you pay in cash it gets rounded up or down e.g. $1.03 becomes $1.05 if it's $1.02 it's $1.00 but if you pay via debit card or credit card it doesn't change.
Yup, Cosmos was on tonight, subject: lead. It's nice to see it got some brains fired-up.
PBS also had a great series the Poisoner's Handbook about different poisonous elements and the one about lead was more in-depth about leaded gasoline. Charles Norris was an amazing person! http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/introduc...
It's like that where I am in eastern Canada people go out smoke weed and drink every weekend if not every night!
Most have menial jobs just enough to get by with government assistance.
Yet everyone goes to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico every year and they make nothing. I can see how all-inclusive vacations became so popular.
I work with 20-year-olds who laugh if they are sent home at work for doing something wrong or if sent home due to some issue at work. A few have travelled all over Europe, Australia, South America yet make nothing as a salary I probably make four times what they do but can't see how they can afford it let alone me.
People are OK with you if you pay your bills nobody freaks out or looks down on you if you aren't super successful or even if you don't work full-time.
It also easier to spit wood when it's cold out -10C to -20C it seems to crack better.
I used to hate fall as a kid when wood splitting season began. Pneumatic splitters are great but slow. You learn to hate hard wood when splitting but it's great to burn.
An old joke: I was 10 years-old before I learned my name wasn't "Get wood!"
It's hard to say it would be a battle between immediate versus long-term. And by that of course I mean I would have to share it with poor around the word I think most people would.
Water, food, vaccines, education all important but water is probably the most needed.
But if invested smartly a smaller amount over a longer time but time is the enemy, do I help more people right now and fewer later or a few people over a longer time period?
I don't think I want a billion dollars it's too much responsibility and I'm not even very good at managing my own life.
I've only been to one F1 race in person that was 1988 in Montreal and I couldn't believe the noise, vicious! My teeth vibrated, even my bones I couldn't believe I could feel my freaking skeletal bones vibrate. Some friends and I went because the turbos were going to be banned in 1989.
I was 19 years old and the only thing I remember about the trip is 1) the noise! 2) crazy Italians 3) crazy Brazilians 4) strip club under a Burger King
I find it amazing that the books and manuscripts are still around hundreds if not a thousand years later meanwhile the dye medium of my data CDs from the mid 90s is probably rotten.
It does, the light ring changes to indicate you're seen by the Nest Protect and when you wave to silence a smoke alarm the Nest Protect says "Smoke alarm hushed."
A similar concept is in Vancouver, BC Canada where vending machines in condo lobbies http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/groceries-fro...
