I recall reading that cargo and fishing vessels (or is that all seafaring vessels? Or all ships and boats?) produce at least as much CO2 and particulates as the cars we drive, as the ships aren't nearly as clean as road vehicles. I&#x

This makes me rather sad, even though this is the first time I've heard of the guy. My first computer was a ZX Spectrum, bought by my father shortly after he was permitted access to us again. You see, my parents divorced a couple of ye

I remember the first time someone verbalized about my completely relaxed face. I was miles away, daydreaming, and one of my friends touched my shoulder and asked if I was alright. I told her yes, and asked why. She said I just looked real

Has there been an improvement in air quality or have the changes been too small to have an impact as yet?

I remember riding on Dunedin's (New Zealand) Trolley Bus service when I was very small, which were standard bus bodies that were hooked to overhead power lines. I remember the driver hooking the bus back to the power lines. Must have

My brain fell asleep in class once, and my head slipped off my hand. The noise of it hitting the desk woke me up again. Everyone heard that one for sure!

56% of donations in 2017 went to the Republicans, and the article below states that while those working within may be "left leaning," the business is moving towards the Republican side of the fence. It's also worth mentioning

I came for the crackpot theories, but instead learned something fascinating. Thanks!

I think that sort of work is actually given to a "hammer hand" or a "builder" in New Zealand. I think a carpenter is a step above those.

You're the one who introduced "collapse of the entire ecosystem," nobody that you've replied mentioned it. We would lose a lot if denied access to orbit. For example, satellite communications, intel satellites would be

I use Pine from time to time on my PC, if I'm on my laptop and I've SSH'd in, or if I'm on my (older) MacBook or iMac.

Years ago, I walked onto a car yard. I watched the guy look at my jeans and my t-shirt, and he tried to sell me a $2000 car. Exactly as you said.

Not directly related to your comment, but I was driving downhill a few months back when some halfwit came the other way in a car that clearly wasn't roadworthy. Must have been leaking a huge amount of coolant into the oil, because the

I feel you there. My partner (who doesn't drive) just bought a second hand Corolla. She'd had it just a few days when I nearly t-boned a flatbed Toyota Hilux because it was hidden completely behind the pillar and just happened t

I (sort-of) play bass, and when I learn a song from tab, I'm pretty much just wrote learning. I'm sort-of learning to read musical notation, but I don't really have a visual memory which makes it really hard. It would certa

I love the process of reading, but I've found for learning large amounts of material I read it out loud, record and MP3 it, and then listen to it through headphones, so that does work well. Will look into those vitamins, thanks for the

This sounds quite similar to my experience. I have a Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, and if I don't sub-vocalize everything, I end up with no idea of what I've just read. Often, I end up with my mind wandering in the same way and

My understanding is that 2001 isn't so much an adaptation of the novel as it is a script that was written through extensive collaboration between both Kubrick and Clarke, eventually adapted into both screenplay and novel. I've go

I just showed this to a friend of mine, who turned very white. It seems that she's been sending some rather saucy texts, plus a topless photo or two and a few panty shots. She went straight back to Facebook, though, and really doesn&#x

In New Zealand, Road User Charges (RUC) are charged separately on diesel vehicles, where petrol vehicles typically pay for them at the pump. Presumably, you would pay the RUC in the same manner for electric vehicles at some point, if it isn

I first saw it on a monochrome XT, and it looked amazing in just two colors. A friend of my brother's played through it on the Amiga, right to the end. He did it while I was watching, although I never managed to finish it. I'm n

As someone who's had it for.. what, 37 years, let me tell you that you shouldn't let it terrify you. You can train yourself to ignore the sound. Doesn't mean you don't hear it, just that you won't pay attention to

I bought a compressor a couple of years ago, and good grief is that thing noisy. I always wearing hearing and eye protection when using it, and I'm glad for it. First time I tested the emergency release valve, I didn't know which

I have the balance problem, too. A hearing specialist suggested that one of the bones in my ear was made of a spongy material rather than bone, which can cause it.
