a. how are they not sponsored by Red Bull already?

The failed in america because you can get a car with similar gas mileage for the same price that seats four and doesn't raid the MB parts bin meaning maintenance and insurance costs are lower. If they had seen fit to bring the much more efficient diesel version, which is the one I have mostly seen abroad, with its…

I'm going to argue that there is a difference between a continuation and a sequel. The continuation would be in the vein Lord of the Rings. We wouldn't have wanted to see them end after the first movie because it was just the first step in the serial telling of a long story. It couldn't stand on its own outright…

my god...it's full of stars!

Wait are you saying a crushing dubstep beat wouldn't make this better and by better I mean total rubbish.

Actually I am escaping to the PNW. Seattle area actually. I am just tired of the sun actually. Been here 19 years and just need to get somewhere where I can do something outside and not have to start at 5pm. Arizona is actually a bad place to be for an active lifestyle with the summer months when the daylight hours…

I had a early 70's mini 1000 when I lived in canada. I paid a whopping sum of $850 for it in the early nineties, which for me at the time was a lot. I regularly drove 3 other friends around town, Scandinavian flicked it around any dirt corner I could, went on british jaunts with a MGB owning friend and pretty much…

That's a lambo.

I'd say the main issue here is that by the time the water got here it would be so expensive there wouldn't be anyone here to buy it.

Same. I can't believe that a place that is well suited to the future includes a place that will definitely suffer from the warming trend we are seeing as part of the end of the mini-ice age/global warming. Nothing says sustainable and future ready than summers at +120°F. Not to mention the complete lack of water, the…

post more. All motor sports should get this treatment. I'd love to see an F1 compilation of the slowmo cam from their coverage and some desert racers too.

I've actually decided that I much prefer Facebook as more of a familybook, friends I have actually spent time with in the last decade book, and very close friends from over the years. That random guy I used to work with? Gone. That person I went to grade school with? Gone. That guy who I met through an online forum…

Some clarifications about green roofs.

I'm going to come in here and just respond to the scared or painful aspect of the needles:

First off the act of birth, naturally, requires the head to be squished through the birth canal, deforming the skull. Birth can result in broken collarbones, which is common and if medical tools are used, cuts and scrapes all…

People can be vaccinated and then get something like cancer or some other immune suppressing issue and they are then very susceptible to the cold. Some people can't be immunized so there will never be a 100% vaccination rate and those are the people that are most at risk. Those and the undervaccinated like babies and…

I think that this warning system is triggered when it measures an actual earthquake in action. While it certainly isn't beneficial to those at the epicenter it would be invaluable to those within seconds from the epicenter. You can see from the video above the actual shockwave it was warning about.

I actually didn't realize that they are so close. I would suspect that given a different view the towers would also ruin the impact of the Hagia Sophia as well. They share the same plaza and are probably about a couple of hundred meters apart.

I learn something new every day.

Oops, embarrassed I am, considering my career as an architect. I should know that.

You know I looked at it and thought "hmm it looks different than I recall it looking in my history books but memory and age and all that." Guess I should have gone for a little search in the books before commenting. Thanks for the…

it is less arguing with them and more getting the information out there so there aren't more of them in the making. When someone is make a decisions about something they read on the internet a lot of people will actually search out supporting information. If they run into this they might be willing to spend the time…

Because it is a slippery slope, one moment you don't believe in the moon landing the next you don't believe in vaccines and then you get outbreaks from diseases that we haven't seen at this level in decades.
