I much prefer to blame Canada.

Ugh. Maybe he wants you to pay for them? You know, like the economy and all. I personally blame Obama.

You've heard wrong. Plenty of municipalities in the US allow for masonry structures (cinder box faced with anything). You wouldn't build a house out of "brick", because it would cost and weigh a metric fuck ton. Most brick houses are wood or block structures faced with brick.

"which will make it possible to open up the entire side of the building to the outdoors"

It's only a matter of time before time kills you. Difference?

I see words; but I'll I can make out is "Wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Queen Mum, the Americans are at it again! Dastardly, foul, nasty creates they be."

The baby seals at Sea World clap like this...

Wheels are an optional extra?

True story! And if whomever Israel is worried about had them, they would be building some other defense system. They are building this, my guess is that they know something we don't.

You're talking cruise missiles. Smaller payload/range/speed due to the energy required to keep a thousand pounds moving parallel to the ground. For the big stuff, shoot em up, let the low gravity found in a low earth orbit do the lateral moving, then let gravity do the hard work of getting them back to the ground.

Maybe you are only considering the chemical energy stored in the battery?

The car would have less energy at the bottom of the hill. No regenerative braking system can capture 100% of the potential energy lost to heat during braking.

Regenerative braking works by capturing the energy lost by slowing down. Unless your goal is to create a car that slows down efficiently, strapping on a turbine will never be able to create more energy that it uses.

Because the M3 will be in year 13, 14, and 15 it will depreciate much less quickly than the Ford will in years 1, 2, and 3. You bought a 60k car for 25k; someone else pre-depreciated it for you. The Ford is new, it needs those new years to chew threw a whole bunch of percentages of depreciation.

The point is not to get close to the norm. It is to show that people with a bit of personal responsibility can eat at MacDaddy's and still be "healthy".

Eeeeewwwwwww, don't you know fish fuck in that stuff!!??!

Damn! All I hear is, "science science maths science maths facts". No one likes facts and science.

I love the show, but what the hell is Crackle. Why is this not on HBO or original programming from Netflix/Amazon?

With a budget damn near 700 billion dollars; i'm sure everyone smart enough to stand in line is getting paid. The government isn't exactly known for being stingy.

I'd bet that the Pentagon is all squared up (plus more) with Microsoft, and the real issue is just activating the license on those workstation.
