Does that mean we're out of the thoughtx and prayerx phase and we can talk about sensible gun control?

I took it in high school just to have some extra testing under my belt for some reason that made sense at the time. It was probably the easiest test that I'd taken all 4 years. They're not testing for who can be rocket surgeons, but for people who have practical smarts. There were a couple of questions where you were given a series of 10 connected gears and giving the rotation direction of the first had to predict the last. Yeah, not calculus.

Duped! Completely fooled! Hoodwinked! Who could have seen that coming??

More like snacks.. Lots of snacks.

Those federal workers should encourage their families to vote against Trump.

I don't think that vapor pressure is necessarily relevant when the atmospheric pressure is 610 pascals (0.6% of Earth's).

I bought a Prius back in 2003 for my spouse because of the promised gas mileage and interesting technology. In the years since I've replaced two after various wrecks. The technology can be really good, but I'm never buying one again. Toyota is being dicks about going pure electric because they don't really have anything to differentiate themselves vs others. I'd been excited about plug-in hybrids for a long time. As an interem experiment I bought an old Nissan Leaf that could only go about 45 miles on a charge. The batteries are even worse now. I've realized that plug-in hybrids have a fatal flaw. They always fully cycle their batteries if you go any distance for a commute. Lots of plug in hybrids only have 40ish miles of pure electric range. If you drive any more than that your battery is going to be trashed after a couple of years.

Of course they are. Anything else is just pretending and gaming the system.

That's why he got shot. She's released from an NDA when he dies. Did she look concerned or upset that day or was she smiling just before the trigger was pulled? Did she have a "special" relationship with a few of the Secret Service guys? I really wonder.

Hey, try not to watch it again on your way through the parking lot!

It was used for insulation. I once went to the filming location for The Hunger Games where Katniss was supposed to live. The location is in North Carolina. The houses are an abandoned mill town and still standing. Many of the houses had similar interiors, but a lot of the newspaper has been torn down over the years.

The recycling symbol for plastics was a great bit of marketing for the plastics industry. 'Just buy a new thing and no worries you can just recycle it.'

Future geologists are going to see a marine deposit of plastic and be able to date exactly the age of the rock layer.
