Dont forget about the vacation and PTO ontop of the holidays. I would gladly take a 20% pay cut to get the same perks.

Probably safer in the event of a crash or mechanical failure. I would not like to see what electrical fire would look like from a lithium battery big enough to power s train.

The big acceleration points are predictable. Electrify those areas. Then you only need enough batteries to maintain speed and get through the lesser acceleration points. They would still want enough batteries to accelerate from a dead stop

You can say anything in quotes. People wont get mad at you, they get mad at the person you quotes. The same thing happens with ventriloquist. The puppet takes the heat.

With a rental, a single entity is responsible for maintenance, if you don't like it, you can move. With a condo, several entities are jointly responsible. If you don't like it, you can sue. I would rather deal with a landlord tha

If you signed up to be an officer, yes I do. They had around 90 LEO at the school watching and too much of a coward to go in.

It took 90 minutes from the time the shooter arrived to the time he was killed. Every armed man that waited outside is a coward. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10855093/Furious-fa...

The problem is cowardice of those with guns to stop the threat. Instead of risking their lives to save those without protection, they hid and waited for backup. Cowards.

Pretty cool article (I read the article but not the research paper). I presume they used captured salamanders for the test. I do wonder if the tests would be the same if they used zoo raised salamanders that never had the chance to use thei

That is a much more eloquent way of putting it. I do wonder how old that phrase is.

You cannot use 10 women to grow a fetus in 1 month. Likewise, you cannot have a good understanding of the long term risks without having s study that runs longterm.

Except they fail in the execution. I appreciate that Netflix puts a red N on content that is Not Good.

Amber alerts on the phone are foolish. Either you are not in a place to do something about it, or you are doing an activity where the phone would be distracting.

Since my kids were born, I feel dumber. I do not think it is just due to aging. Maybe caused from years of lack of sleep.

This really needs a year tag and a explanation of the cause. Spoiler: Helium leak.

We need eye tracking that would blur the objects that would normally be out of focus for what the person is looking at.

I remember reading that some trees purposely create non viable seeds in great numbers. The theory is it makes it energy inefficient for animals to sort through the chaff searching for viable seeds to eat.

I do wonder if it can walk backwards or handle uneven terrain. The bird likely has a muscle to extend the foot when needed, the bot does not.

What I really want is biased search results of my choosing. $10 a month for a personal search is a bit much. $10 a month for work related search is cheap. Give me results specific to my industry without having a super long query.

I believe the EU has a requirement of listing it per 100g. I would greatly prefer that system.

Those dice look to have either the same face or a symmetrically opposite face. It would be more impressive to see a die with a pattern of a buckyball with the pentagons and hexagons having equal probability of being rolled. I'm sure it

Looking at that map, there are very few places that rain as often as Seattle. Most of the US that gets more precipitation, gets it in large downpours (thunderstorms).
