I was able to prove to my friend that water was a liquid... until he showed me Ice.

I would not be so fast to call it freezing in the winter, many warehouses - garages - etc are heated, but not air conditioned. During the summer they just turn on fans, open roof hatches, and doors.

I was surprised to read construction workers need to do a retina scan and ... show their Social Security Card? ... for access. Wouldn't a photo ID, like your license, be a better option with more pertinent information?

I believe those are just called forklifts, I have always heard them called Lull's - I don't know if anyone else makes them.

ALL the corn you eat is genetically modified, we learned this early in college, I majored in agronomy. "Natural" corn has multiple shoots, each kernel would be a different size and color, and tastes would vary greatly. Corn has been bread specifically for the taste and appearance you have come to expect at the…

GPS does not communicate with satellites, they only listen to the signal - no IP address no detection, just listening.

I was just thinking - if it were shaped like a hip flask then it would make it more difficult to scratch the screen, and provide some protection (if the screen is on the concave part)

I agree with your observations about helicopters and aircraft, but I also think that this vehicle would do well with a para shoot if you had elevation...

Then why am I from *the* United States? but I only say I am from Connecticut not the Connecticut - and I don't call it the Puerto Rico, or the Guam?

Thank you for saying what I was thinking! You hit the nail on the head.

I worked on golf courses for years, We once disassembled an old ball picker (on that armored golf cart you aim at) and attached ropes to one of the picker wheels and dragged it across the water hazards, I doubt we were the first to do such a thing, and those picker wheels have been around forever, what does he have a…

What makes you think he has a license?

Agreed - not just Boston - New England needs some love.

Think of someone with average intelligence - now realize that half the population is dumber than that person.
