i would imagine also that tying your fresh water output to "how hard your 5 year old children are running around in the African sun" might just be a net negative energywise

kids are kids and are going to run around and play regardless of how hot it is

also give lots of money to peace corps individual grants to fund specific projects (yospos funded a school/student-run shop in a village that is making a profit now and buying food the kids)

that's just because google doesnt give a gently caress about the quality of android

as long as people buy it and goog gets their data mined from people, who cares if android is a stinky pile of poo? let the 3rd parties inject their own data gathering stuff, that's fine, we can all share the data there's more than enough to go around

why would you need to get granular enough to have estimated costs for each street

we're not talking a commute we're talking long distance dude.

well if you take THIS route you could potentially save up to .008 cents in gas versus this other route. those fractions of cents add up, haven't you ever watched superman 3?

it's more like saving $10 in gas on a ~900 mile roundtrip that would otherwise have cost a whole $110 back a year ago dude

Amazon.com Inc., aiming to bolster its brick-and-mortar operations, has discussed acquiring some RadioShack Corp. locations after the electronics chain files for bankruptcy, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

Amazon has considered using the RadioShack stores as showcases for the Seattle-based company’s hardware, as well as potential pickup and drop-off centers for online customers, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the deliberations are private.

You may remember that 14 of my test subjects said they didn’t hear enough difference to justify buying a Pono. The 15th guy, however, said, “I would and I did!”

That is, he was already the owner of a Pono.

I pointed out to him that in my test, even he had preferred the sound of the iPhone. His reply: The Pono may not actually sound better, but it delivers more emotion.
