The moral of your story is, "Waste money on stupid ideas that are less efficient rather than use already existing, more affordable technology."

Oh, heavens, not this idiotic argument.
Not every inventor is the Wright Brothers. Not every invention is the Kitty Hawk. Some inventors are stupid and/or hucksters. Some inventions are just plain STUPID.
You put R&D into things that makes sense and have a chance. Putting solar panels in your road surfaces is NOT one of those things.
They think.
And they're wrong.
Putting panels on raised areas over a parking lot is fine (if you can afford it). Putting them UNDER the parking lot is stupid to begin with, but even stupider when large percentages of the parking lot are going to have cars sitting over those panels anyway for much of the day.
Sticking solar panels underneath road…
Anyone who had even a smidgeon of common sense and some basic knowledge of science knew immediately that this solar bike path and the “Solar Freaking Roadway” were utterly unfeasible.
Every idea - no matter how stupid it really is - still ends up having ardent defenders these days. The romantic lure of a “solar road”…
I guess 5 billion in gummint sugar money doesn’t buy what it used to.
Gotta say - I like Wreck It Ralph. I’m not sure why people think it got ‘boring’. It was a good movie that holds up on multiple views. All movies get a bit slower in Act 2. That’s just part of storytelling. But in that bit we get a lot of stuff that adds depth to both Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, Lynch, and even King…
I loved Battle Beasts when I was a teenager. We’d line them up on a wall and shoot them down with those disc-gun things that were the precursors to Nerf guns.
There is no shortage of Progressive Liberal Leftist morning show journos incompetently floundering and embarrassing themselves at common, everyday tasks. These are the same PLL holier-than-thous who constantly and continually pontificate and tell people how they should be living their lives, what they should be…
PLLs don’t want to admit it - but ISIS is Islamic. They are a branch of it - more extreme in nature than most - but they are Islamic. Much the same way that Westboro Baptists are a branch of Christianity.
M’eh. If the movie is good then fine. But he isn’t Johnny Storm. Just like how Jane Foster isn’t Thor, Miles Morales isn’t Spider Man, Jim Gordon isn’t Batman, Whatherface isn’t Marvel Girl, and on and on an on.
It isn’t about race, gender, or whatever. It’s about staying true to the history, lineage, and story. If…
Maybe you aren't. But Emma Sulkowicz is. That's a proven fact.
“I don’t have an enormous amount of respect for people who generally try to predict what will happen a decade from now, if not further out.”
No surprises here. Gawker, Feminists, and every other Progressive Liberal Leftist group under the sun are constantly being spoon-fed a diet of hatred, contempt, anger, and bile. This is Rules for Radicals 101 stuff here.
So what do you think is going to happen when Progressive Liberal Leftists are taught to treat…
Your profane ad-hominems disqualify you from civilized discussion. You claim to desire academic sourcing, while at the same time descending to the level of fecal smearing primate. Observing the hypocrisy of an angry Progressive Liberal Leftist after they are confronted with facts they disagree with is always amusing.…
When a proper - accurate - and fair analysis takes place, it is inarguable that the ballyhooed 77 cents for the dollar claim (the so-called 27 cent wage gap) is a myth perpetuated by the ignorant or the deceptive. When you control for factors such as time on the job, experience, and all the other relevant variables -…
Sigh. Wage inequality is a proven myth. Please stop giving fallacious statements made in ignorance by cretins like Patricia Arquette any legitimacy.
I'll just quote Marvel After-Hours to say what a REAL Superman story does...
Lex Luthor: "You're past your prime. You're meaningless. You're an over-powered, under-relatable demi-god that no one believes in."
Spider Man: "Hey, I believe in you."
Iron Man: "I believe."
Hulk: "Hulk believe."
Stan Lee: "If I may, Superman...…
