At 52 square miles, Christmas Island isn't terribly large either. And, given that shrews have a lifetime of perhaps a year or two and there's been no sightings in 40+ years, it seems unlikely that a stable breeding population has

Not that I'm aware of. I've heard that many hybrids actually require less maintenance - for instance, the car can use electric power for hard acceleration instead of stressing the engine, so oil tends to last longer, and regenerat

The important bit is that sodium is much cheaper than lithium, and that translates into the batteries being less expensive per watt-hour. They're larger and heavier for the same capacity, but the lower price makes up for it, especial

It's a text adventure by anything but the most hidebound traditionalist definition. The text is where all of the real action takes place; the graphics are more an illustration of that text than the reality of the game.
