What? I didn't that your nasal mucus froze. I thought your body temp would keep it from freezing. How does it feel? Is it a beginning sign of frostbite?

Very true. Yesterday it was about 38c with a sensation much higher, and at night I slept pretty good with my trusty blanket. I've lived in tropical climates pretty much my whole life, and it's the cold places that bother me.

I read somewhere that container ships' fuels are the dirtiest of all fuels used everywhere, which made buying electronics really non-green (since they're all come in ships from the other side of the globe). Anyone here knows how a

Well, here in Brazil they are dangerous criminals and very, very violent, and no, they won't turn into upstanding citizens if the money from drugs dries up. They'll turn into other forms of cime, probably just as violent. Howeve

You're right. People sometimes take it as being the official Humanity's Stamp of most noble person, or whatever. It's an award that some people choose to give every year. It has a lot (A LOT) of repercussion, it's highly

You mean using a gasoline generator to power the miners? I wonder if using the house electricity isn't cheaper. If it cost more, wouldn't people all begin using generators?

A couple of days ago I met a 60-ish year old man who did just that. Sold his house, bought a 30 footer, found a nice place to anchor it along a small (pop. 700) fishing community in the state of Rio (not the big city, somewhere around 100 m

> Immunology is a subject all on its own right. I find it fascinating too. Too bad I don't have a good amount of knowledge in the area to delve into it. Do you have any suggestions of books for someone who wants to learn?

I've thought about this on and off, and one day I arrived at this: The only technological progress that truly matters to me are medical ones. If people could live and not get sick, and not die until they're 90, then I would be fin

I don't think we'd have to reinvent the tooling. I'm pretty sure we haven't forgotten how to do it. We'd have to build the huge mills again, sure, but that's a different thing.

Right, they paid the guy to write about how Apple's new product has no emotion. I wonder how much you have to pay for that?

No, a full day just isn't enough. What about the time when you come home wasted from too much work/partying and you just forget to charge the thing. Then you wake up, decide you don't want to wear it because you just want to
