My vehicle hasn't warmed up (from ~40F) by the time I've made my ~10 mile drive to school in the morning.

That's a really good idea.

No. He's saying that it's not really a fission reaction without a moderator. If the neutrons are moving too fast, the uranium atoms will not absorb them and split. It's not a chain reaction. The remaining heat is mostly decay heat, which is where the natural decay of radioactive isotopes produces heat. Without the…

Actually, power companies out here in southern Illinois are offering flexible rate plans that lower the power cost after around 8:00 pm. I know a few people on it, and they have saved a marginal amount on their power through this.

I redact the part about carrier-subsidized and what not. I didn't see that you said "Android TV devices" instead of "Android devices". I thought you were talking about phones. The part about the specs still sands, though.

only if you use your electronics in one hell of a pressure chamber.

You could make them look like that by coating them in truck bed liner and hot gluing bolt heads on.

I have one of these! It's on an old circuit board that does who-knows-what.

What, exactly, do creepy power lines have to do with cancer?

Also,

Random xkcd time!

No. That still is a bunch of pseudo-scientific bull. The only part that makes any remote since is that radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere.

I think they also use CDMA in Australia. I could be wrong, though.
