I have no idea when they added it, but Google Street View now has a time travel feature. There's been tons of construction in my area since I moved here, so it's pretty cool to see parking lots turn into high rises. When I discove

Counterpoint: my Volvo has a 1540lb towing rating approved by Volvo. It is not an SUV. The lines are ambiguous. "SUVs" nowadays range from minivans that don't look like minivans (crossovers) like the Ford Edge to actual SUVs

Wow that's outrageous if that's the case. If it's really bugging you keep going up the chain.

What if I told you that USPS was probably carrying some of your Prime packages for Fedex and you just didn't know about it? http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-mail-does-the-trick-for-fede...

Your mountains sound similar to the Appalachian range on the eastern coast of the US. The tallest peak is Mt. Mitchell at 2,037 m (Kosciusko is 2,228 m).

Don't you mean the "Dollar Menu and More" (tm) menu? RIP original Dollar Menu. The McD app has coupons that can get you some decent quantities for food for pretty cheap, or at least it did when it first came out. I haven&#x27

As someone who just started walking to work, I can't wait for the day that the smelly fumes of gasoline exhaust disappear from our streets. And Tesla, among others, is bringing us closer to that day.

Not trying to sound snarky, but how does parking underground preclude you from owning an electric vehicle? Is there a physical reason for this? There are apartments that have electric vehicle chargers. You might even be able to convince you

Source for this? I did some quick digging and this seems to indicate that the Mojave desert has been a desert for several thousand years. http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1007/geologic.html

My girlfriend is extremely allergic to animals and if someone took a dog onto an airplane just for the hell of it she would suffer for hours. There are some people who can't physically be around animals for extended periods of time wit

I know that the FDA regulates prescription medication in that manner, but I don't think it has the same reach over things like food packaging, water bottles, dietary supplements, etc.

I'm not sure why you're writing off e-readers. I love my Nook. It's not as heavy as a book and its battery life is awesome. Also, The E-paper screen really is easier on my eyes and I can get "any" book I want instan

I began reading the article and looked down at the zipper on my hoodie. I've never looked at my zipper brand before. Lo and behold, YKK. The article pointed out something that I've taken for granted pretty much my entire life.

You make an interesting point. It seems like it might be a scenario where one might actually need to tone down the resume to get the job.

At least there's the option of booking something "more expensive". Some places require that employees book the cheapest fare no matter what. Then you get situations like an employee making 150K/yr sacrificing an entire w

I for one am looking forward to a day where strangers don't have to see my awful handwriting. Although the thought of touching a tablet that all of the infected patients before me have touched might keep me to the pen and paper.

I just started using PySide which is a Qt wrapper for Python. So far it's been very good. I chose it because I can get familiar with Qt and eventually I may use it in my C++ projects too.

I realize the costs would be high, but would there be a way to embed some information in/near the roadway that would assist the onboard systems? I think there might be some advantages in making the road smarter in addition to the car.

I was confused for a second and thought this was the most ego-centric startup I've ever come across. What team stares at you from 80% of the landing page instead of revealing the product?

I'm no expert but I imagine it's a combination of keeping your router's firmware up-to-date, using a properly configured firewall, and using a strong password for your router login.

A few points to compare the two: - Jetpack Joyride is way easier. I think something "unique" about Flappy Bird is how difficult it is. - It's extremely easy to start a new round in Flappy Bird (and it happens quite often).

I think it's a mistake to consider our homeworld disposable, regardless of what worlds we may eventually live on.
