A coal fired plant is something like twice as efficient as your typical car engine, so depending on what the losses are like getting the electricity to your battery, you could still be ahead of the game. Also, if you swap out the power plant for something more eco friendly, then every car that charges off that grid…

The law still comes into play, and if some rich supercar owner really wants to press the issue, they still can’t outrun radio waves.

Maybe someone has a sense of humour? Kind of like how the Scarab was named for a dung beetle, and then there’s Gordon-Keeble’s turtle logo.

If a place like Calgary can get just shy of 100K into a comi con, I can’t see La having a problem.

I don’t think it will get that far either. That’s an absolute worst case scenario, and even then, it would only get as far as the attempted Russian coup in ‘93.

Trump talks a good fight, but if you’re worried about him being difficult, consider this. If a few noisy Millenials made him hide in his bunker, how do you think he’d going to handle tanks on his front lawn?

I think you may have Attila the Hun confused with Genghis Khan.

Attila was the one who brought down Western civilization, so still accurate, I guess?.

You would think people would learned by now that hoping for the best with Trump never works. Watch them swear someone in by Friday

One I can’t really watch again is the original Sleuth, because the whole film is so dependent on a suprise twist that it looses much of it’s impact the second time.  The first time around was a heck of a ride, though.

I finally got to see it about thirty years after it first came out, and I agree. As much as I love Kubrick (2001 is one of the few films I’ll watch in a theatre whenever I can), A Clockwork Orange is too bleak and too brutal for me to summon up any enthusiasm to watch again.

I suppose you could argue that the microorganisms there haven’t evolved the ability to feed on us yet. On the other hand, an alien ecosystem that is similar enough to let us walk around and breathe might have evolved all manner of biochemistry that is just different enough to thoroughly mess us up.

It sounds like a pretty rigid and doctrine heavy form of atheism, which sounds a lot like something humans would do.

Yes, it would be nice to know more. I’m all for atheism myself, but seeing how we’ve seen ideas on atheistic society have ranged from Stalinist totalitarianism to Randian objectivism, it’s does not necessarily follow that whatever they do will follow our notions of what is progressive, or even what is good.

It kind of makes sense now.  If french popular culture is any guide, cultural sensitivity is not one of their strong points.

The vibe I get off her is America’s answer to the woman on North Korean TV who makes announcements for the Dear Leader.
