The whole oil thing is going great for them. They just realize it's not going to be great forever, and they should prepare for that day. On a related note, they are also increasing their use on solar. For one such example, see http:&#

I thought it was a pretty important detail. It shows that the government thinks they are competent enough and competitive enough to succeed at this. Since this launch was successful, they've sent spacecraft to the ISS, and they are lau

There's a number of times when I've finished reading a book, reading an article, listening to an album, or watching a movie, I'm left thinking "What the fuck was that?" It didn't necessarily bring joy, but it m

So buy a bar bell and weight bench off Craigslist or Amazon and stick it in your garage. Free weights are cheap, and better for you than machines.

The only Land Cruiser sold now is based on the 4Runner, and is meant as a luxury vehicle. The 80 series was the last rugged Land Cruiser (with a solid front axle) sold here, and even that only had an automatic.

Good thing California requires license plates on the front of vehicles. That way, if the bicyclist was hurt/killed, the video recorded by the self driving car would show your friend was the one liable.

Their legal department might disapprove of it, but their marketing department loves it.

The problem is that, at least in Humboldt County, the legalization is designed to allow existing growers to continue to profit, while preventing new comers from getting started.

How does this compare to 50 years ago, at the "peak" of US manufacturing? Obviously, there weren't robots back then to crush people, but there was still heavy equipment, corrosive and carcinogenic chemicals, etc.

Fortunately for them, we don't have an extradition treaty with Russia. On a related note, Semion Mogilevich, head of the Russian mafia, and one of the FBI's most wanted, lives freely in Moscow.

I, too, read the Daily WTF when that article first came out (in middle school! Time flies.) Although, to be honest, it was a lot funnier then than it is now.

Every single problem in the world could have been averted. However, there is only so much time, money, and resources, so we have to chose what to prioritize. There are even entire fields of professionals that deal with this, such as enginee
