   They should bring this to Australia FIRST. There's a reason we lead piracy world wide for HBO shows, and it isn't (just) because we're all descended from convicts.

   I agree. Nature is very cruel, thankfully we treat our livestock much better than we would if we were "being part of nature".

   You make that sound like it is a daily phenomenon. It has happened infrequently (in Australia). http://cleantechnica.com/2014/07/05/queensland-solar-negativ...

   Those hints were pleasingly helpful, they lead you right to the 'aha' moment without giving the whole answer.

   Yes. Actually the more you exercise, the more you eat. The less you sleep, the more you eat. I eat quite a lot. If someone ever wants to make a doco about not gaining any weight (other than muscle) with [insert crazy 'bad' diet],

    "People think of YouTube as a West Coast company..." I hope I'm not alone in thinking of it as an internet company. I've never wondered where it was located in the physical world, nor do I care.

    Not being a drink or erratic driver, I was thinking more of driving when I'm tired. It is possible to be a little too tired to drive safely without realising it, but I imagine the extra small adjustments you make when this happens - be

    I realise tastes do change as you age, but it was refreshing to see honest and polite food critics. Also hilarious.

    This. Why shouldn't driver assist be able to tell when the actual driver is drunk/tired/dangerously incompetent and pull over. It could even call their emergency contact or a taxi and disable the car.

    That was truly bizarre. Why would you use this device to make sure someone used the correct method of eating food?

    I remember the first time I dropped in too. It is another one of those things where if you don't commit all the way, you fail. Once you get it you have it for life. I think having my friends get it first helped me with that one! I&#x27

    You may be thinking of longer grass? It is just important that the board doesn't move forwards or backwards while you are practicing.

    If it is your poker table, in your home, with your cards, then it is your responsibility to ensure that they are fair. There is a rule in poker: "it is the player's responsibility to protect his hand".

    For anyone trying to learn how to do an ollie for the first time, the one thing that really helped me was this: do it on grass. I spent ages on concrete, and it is a lot harder. On grass the board doesn't roll and you don't get hu

    I'm confident most people would do the 'wrong' thing. A train-load of strangers is abstract, and it is difficult to comprehend. I think it is like in Schindler's List. 6 million Jews - who can grasp that? It is a number

    This reminds me of the Seinfeld joke: Jerry: This isn't a good time. Telemarketer: When would be a good time to call back, sir? Jerry: I have an idea, why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you back later? Telem

    When I first heard this problem, it was told in a heart-wrenching first-person 'this actually happened' way. Roughly as follows: "A man who worked the gears for a train line took his son to work. His son ran off to play and w

    Even accepting that whales are peace-loving, gentle creatures who mean no harm - isn't this insanely dangerous? They are enormous and massive. They could accidentally crush you and not even realise it, like a dog playing with a beetle.
