US and Canadian companies never stopped drilling in the oil slump. Instead they drilled down and left the last XX feet to the oil there/capped. That's one of the reasons that OPEC won't be as effective as they want to be. Of

I imagine there are more software people capable of programming their way through the problem than electrical engineers that can work their way through it. An electrical engineer is also going to see the Uber name and expect Valley idiocy,

If this becomes more true I'm glad that I choose electrical engineering over software whatever-you're-called-now. I can't imagine spending three years of weekends developing x companies software for a chance at an interview.

There was an article posted about one of the Antarctic data centers. And it's a horrible place to put one. Air too dry, too cold, parts being months away, and rubber/cardboard losing the properties that it needs. The shear terro

If you forget it, it'll come back to haunt you. Nukes are constantly being tested and requalifying. The NAVY does an outstanding job of punishing a nuke that does horribly at either of those.

Usually something above 90 on the ASVAB, with exceptions for people who score 80s but take a special math and physics test. ASVAB grading isn't a fixed scoring system. If you score s 90 it means you beat 90% of the people who took the

If you were to track radioactivity released by human activity to the actual environment, a coal plant releases more than a nuclear plant. It's actually a pretty fun argument: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions

My groups force evil characters to put effort into being evil. You need to work up a good reason why your character is working with the group, and how you hide it. I've also played a Forest Gump good character with a group of evil ch

It'll become pretty funny if humans become so addicted to alt-reality that future generations view leaving the planet's atmosphere as stuff of nightmares. Since they'll no longer have instant access any more.

Most of the houses that sell for 'free'/'cheap' have been scavenged over by neighbors and similar. Things like dry wall being ripped out to get copper wiring to sell isn't unusual.

It's a little bit of a relief that the current crop of SV figures won't be the group of people who hand pick the first space generation. Though I'd probably say that about anyone (or at least hope I would).
