Actually I hope Hollywood continues to sink... Perhaps we will get lucky and a natural lake will form in is stead.

A joke that has been so over used it is no longer funny.

Even so that is just a fraction of what CA exports. Furthermore you are missing the point... If CA’s economy collapses the entire nation will suffer immensely.

You realize that if CA collapses the US would be in deep shit. California has approximately 12% of the entire US population. Moreover, they have a GDP of 2,287,021 which is almost twice that of the next largest state (by population) Texas and they are the WORLDS 8th largest economy.

As far as food goes... (many of…

I agree with what you are saying but the issue is residential water usage only accounts for something like 15% of the total. Everyone seems to focus on solutions for the consumer level which makes sense because we already have solutions available but what we really need are solutions for Industry.

Something similar happened to me. I had several rounds of interviews where each one ended on a positive note. A few days after the final interview I find out that the company is getting majority buyout from another much larger company. That same day I get an email from one of their leads that they have postponed the…

Honestly, I would love to see our next step be the replication of this experiment on mars surface. Preferably sending multiple small test chambers to different locations around the planet.

Totally agree. I love nexus even when Skyrim released with Steam workshop I still used nexus because of its community. Looking forward to seeing what this partnership means not just for the Witcher but also for Nexus.

You just proved our point. Within our lifetime these will be under 100 bucks.

Also Moore’s law was originally meant to be applied to transistors density. It has been applied to many many other things but the reality is it isn’t a law of nature and is even less applicable when talking about anything other than…

You are kidding right? Read the stats on the page SkipErnst posted... Example: a terabyte in 1980 cost $193,000,000. Now I can get 1TB drives on amazon for about 50 bucks.

Good call on the standing desk. I do the same thing at work. Most of the time I sit but being able to get off my butt for and hour helps a lot. Good luck with your back pain

My dad has terrible back pain. He very rarely works out, works on his feet 9-10 hours a day hunched over a work bench and has a mediocre diet at best.

He recently started going to the doctor for his back pain and they told him what I have been saying for years. You need to start strengthening your core. Unfortunately…

Nope. IKEA. I haven’t been able to find the smaller pine tops like I have but my roommate found these... And I used the nickel platted legs.

Mine are unfinished but my roommate got some cheap sealer and his desk looks awesome.

This is why I go straight to the comments before reading.

Triple monitor is the way to go! I used to have a Dual computer setup. My windows machine had dual monitor and then my Linux box had a single. I recently turned my Linux box into a windows server with plex and virtual box (for my development needs). I now RDP into any virtual server I need and just display it full…

The fuel used for current power generation has a specific potential energy.... Which already exists for our consumption. We “Burn” it to release this energy and lose energy to heat and other inefficiencies.

Probably a dumb question but considering they always split this into matter, dark matter and dark energy does that mean “regular” energy is being lumped together with “regular” matter?

E = mc^2 after all

I see what you did...

This would likely have dire results for South America...

Cranberry Lake, New York seems like a good place to try.
