Beef does have 18 more grams of protein, 153 grams of total fat less, and 1471 fewer calories per pound than almonds.

The irony here is that the people who most want these projects, are also the people who are being systematically priced out of cities like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. If the projects happen, they’ll never get to enjoy it.

“Hey look at this brilliant proposal that will make America more like the best of Europe and elsewhere. We’ve worked out all the problems and political objections!”

Tennessee is now entering the playoffs against Texas and Florida, in a race to the bottom.

I think it’s this simple. You need to drive one of the last generation Trans Ams. They aren’t what you think, once you’re behind the wheel. Unlike earlier iterations, the last generation could actually turn and stay planted, and the steering was rack and pinion instead of the old recirculating ball with its…

You’re probably right. They must have installed shields after the first one got blown up. On a whole other planet.

Maybe where he came from, Jabba the Hut walked upright. Maybe where he came from, Jabba the Hut’s species turn into beautiful butterflies.

In the discussion about the cost of the Death Star, I brought up that the costs were based stupid assumptions. Why would you mine, refine and lift steel from the deep gravity well of an Earth sized planet? Most of the cost in that estimate, were transportation costs of raw materials. It would all be mined in space…

It doesn’t have action-reaction engines, but it might have an Abucierre type of space warping engine that moves it as if it was a bubble rising in a fluid.

Don’t you remember the whole part of the plot of the original Star Wars, where the attack couldn’t occur until the shields were turned off?

You can use a hole punch to make small shapes from phone screensaver material to put on those button spots so you can “feel” them.

While not as extreme, since I still like a good innovative gastro-pub burger, I have some principle agreement with you. My preferred fast food burgers are from Jack In The Box. But I also enjoy 5 Guys, Tommy’s and In ‘n Out and other greasy spoon burgers. They all have their appeal as burgers. While there are similar…

Apparently not a weekend garage queen for the previous owner.

I bought an Asus Transformer with the keyboard when it first came out. It was supposed to replace my netbook. But the lack of being able to have multiple windows on screen killed its utility for me, and it went unused for three years. Until this year, when I started using it for a point of sale cash register when our…

And those are the kind of people whose exploits wound up being the Old Testament. Sure they encountered and lived in Bronze Age civilizations sometimes, but they were not having any of the changes and values that came with Bronze Age civilization without a fight.

If you’re talking about the jump from infrared prior to fusion ignition, to post fusion light...we should be able to see that. When the star ignites, it pushes the remaining dust and gas from the inner system immediately, including a shell of gas and dust around the star itself which isn’t deep enough in the gravity…

The timeline is going to be “electric cars with the range and power of traditional cars are too expensive and impractical” to “electric cars with fewer moving parts are cheaper to make, are more reliable and cheaper than internal combustion cars”.

I’m sorry, but you are not everyone. You are an older person in exceptional physical condition, not the norm. I have a damaged ACL in my right knee, and a damaged PCL in my left. I have a damaged L4-L5 disk since I was 29 (I’m 57 now). And I’ve had asthma since birth, mostly controlled.

I’m not sure which OP you’re talking about. It seems to me that everyone is saying regulation is necessary, but the people invited to draft the regulation are the exact opposite of the people who should be involved in drafting regulatory legislation.

Also true of Scott’s version of “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”.
