Exactly... Changsha hotpot would never fly in the west, but it’s AWESOME! BTW, I have a German friend in Changsha that own like 4 micro-brewery restaurants there. So no... it’s not hard finding great food there.

Paul appears to be taking some credit for work done by others. I had the law regarding enclosed 3-wheelers changed for California back in 2008 (AB2272).

Location: 33.044891, -116.936132 — there’s no driveway there.

Costco hotdog are a square deal. Having lots of fresh chopped onion is a nice touch. Delicious.

It’s so sad when whales beach themselves. This poor specimen was obvious riddled with parasites or something as hideous.

That’s a truly terrible design. The asymmetrical seating with a symmetrical ceiling immediately tells you the “designer” has no idea how this stuff works. 5 minutes sitting in a row mockup made from MDF and foamcore would tell you that no one would last 2 hours seated like that. Just assembling the mockup would tell…

Runtime 1.3 had been a huge improvement. Friends of mine who play ProjectCARS with the Rift CV1 say this issue has all but disappeared.

Diet Coke + vodka + dispair = 3 ingredients.

In fairness, “гнать” looks like it begins with an “r”, but means “drive” in Russian.

Really? The main group, or one of the smaller branches?

I like “tangerine-tinted collection of psychiatric symptoms”.

Independent pusher motor you say?

Look at the draped “vehicle”... the rear is totally asymmetric. For what reason, I cannot imagine.

Immediately understood the reference. Well played...

It what you get using a heat gun to drape clear polycarbonate over a form. It never comes out right, and looks like crap.

Jason... It sounded like you said “Fisker ‘Carver’” @ 4:15. Your confusion is understandable — but having spent some time in both vehicles, I should mention that the Carver probably has slightly more room for the driver. ;)

Thanks for the explanation and clarification. Again, above my pay-grade, but an interesting topic nonetheless. :D

Ok… you’ve officially lost me. It’s my understudying is that nothing in BCS theory (around since 1911 or so) suggests there’s any limit for the temperature at which a material could superconduct — that is, room-temperature superconductivity is entirely possible given the proper material. Is it your position that a…

Great analogy. BTW: The guy that also ended Somali pirate standoff with lethal force in 2009. That guy.
