What is your cost per mile? My 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is running at 9 cents per mile at current gas prices ($3.30 per gallon) and that is purely city driving. Maybe 6 cents per mile on the highway.

Over a 12-year age cohort, 19% more men are single. That could be explained by women in relationships being 2.28 years younger on average. Seems about right to me. Of course, older women are more likely to be single (widowed, divorced, o

I was happily single until my mid-thirties and wasn't even really looking for a relationship. I realize now that getting married probably saved my life. Married men life much longer than single men because they have someone to tell t

I think we have to be approaching the "thousands of miles per year" stage. The TF magnet demoed at CFS/MIT had 166 miles of tape and "contained close to 10% of the world’s supply of commercially available HTS" at t

Fusion is usually measured by the detection of neutrons at the proper energy level for the fusion reaction you are looking for. H-Boron fusion does not release neutrons (or at least enough to measure) but alpha particles instead. TAE teste

Yeah, I also stopped reading at that point. It should have said "the square of the differences." My take is it probably saw "(x - a)^2" and put "difference" ahead of "square" simply because of the o

I assume they need to worry about scratches. An XXXXXL clean room bootie wouldn't work because it would pick up sand and grit as you walk across the panels.

Personal anecdote, but I have a strong feeling that if you never clean your ears, you never feel the need to. But once you start cleaning them, and you feel the difference it becomes something that is hard to stop doing. I wish I had never

If you take the previous year's tax and pay that as your estimated tax (split into quarters) you avoid any penalty. Only issue is if your income drops significantly from one year to the next but you can always calculate your taxes in
