Nah, that was a boring race. We're all here for the wrecks and spinouts that allow some positioning changes.

There's emissions for any activity, but the nuclear fuel cycle seems pretty spread out to suggest it's anything comparable to what the fossil fuel chain of fueling is like.

I believe the biggest source of emissions for nuclear actually come from the construction phase, so getting past that, maybe. Still would be preferable to also reduce energy use so that the "better" source can be spread more efficiently.

How is underemployment fairing? It's interesting what areas the leading job increases are in, wonder how many are part time? Then there's the average 4.0% wage increase, which good news is above the current inflation rate this time around by a few points.

Unfortunately everything has byproducts and emissions that we do. The only real solution is to reduce, which is difficult given the population and so many third world nations wanting to join a higher standard of living. Natural gas is probably better than coal overall, but on the scale of bad for the environment where 10 is the worst, is an 8 or 9 better? Technically, yes.

There has to be some head canon out there, but I think this is one of two things. Either a cure-whatever-is-the-problem pill, like with nanobots that can do whatever is needed in the body (so she had more than the kidneys fixed, that was just what was on her chart). Or in his equipment he has a medical replicator that will generate from base materials any type of specific drug needed for the diagnosed problem.

That would require more than just the pay rate to judge. It seems to be a decent bump up, but I was under the impression that some of the concern that led to the strike was how automation was going to affect their job. $63/hour isn't all that great if you have half the hours, or no job at all because they needed only half the workers.

Carter was a one term President because he tried to do his job under terrible circumstances. Not because he was a loser.

Lucky the cars were helping slow things. That's a hero, jumping in to make the difference. I'm guessing they're probably familiar with large trucks so they knew what had to be done.

I find it difficult to understand what today's Republican party would offer to a black person. (Or any really, but specifically black)

Brings back memories of that one Lost episode with the unstable dynamite.

Also an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

He has trouble in his own rallies with his own speeches.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
