Antarctica/Troll is not that weird. Really they use just two times: Cape Town time during short summer and Norway time otherwise. Unfortunately, Norway time happens to have DST ;-)

It would be nice to have similar feature like this, but to highlight rectangle (instead of text) on the page to focus viewer on some specific area. I send screenshots with highlight quite often.

Actually no. In the movie, there is already gravity present in the hub - generated by rotating this large cylindrical hub. Running in such hub would increase gravity slightly but no running is needed at all! Just being in such hub is compar

You can use delta-v, so the closest is the distance rocket use the least fuel/mass. It is a very good measure how easily to get to that destination in space.

Situation is really messed up. I understand that 16GiB (16*2e30 bytes) chip is present (delivered to user), but some of it is broken and not available (industry standard). Therefore capacity is less than 16GiB. Also I believe that there is

I agree, I even know people who want to discuss something, but my role is not to respond too much, just nod or acknowledge things from time to time and primary to listen as their thought gets more clarified by the moment they said them alou

In my Land Rover, everything is very smooth with automatic transmission. I can switch to manual mode but it seems so unnecessary as I can hardly make car goes smoother than with default automatic mode. I think that plenty of power and super

In large SUV with powerful engine, modern automatic transmission like ZF 8speed surely have better fuel economy than scenario adequate manual transmission.

It is cultural thing (claret/clairet/clairette). Yes, in France it is light-colored wine but english speaking people use the word for very dark wine. In my country, clairet is usually (almost) white wine made of dark wine grapes.

I think that problem is not that America can't recyle but that nobody CAN recycle. Making new plastic is so cheap and superior to recycling, it does not make sense to recycle in general. We should try to use more easily recyclable mate

stored hydrocarbons are way more easy to handle than stored h2. On top of that, h2 is hard to contain, it can leak everywhere.

Wow, this seems like our society needs to control this ratio in the future! We can have more peaceful society if we reduce "men count" to keep ratio above 1:1.1 (male:female) :-)
