OT: Electric car batteries

[James Wilkinson]

What I find amusing is when they go after each other, in the same party!

[James Wilkinson]

Vegans are over the top pedants. Not drinking milk, eating cheese etc, that has to be bad for you.

I've always been vegetarian, and while I'm as fit as anyone else who takes the same exercise (I can run as far and as fast as others), I never seem to build up muscle when weightlifting. I have to exercise "properly" by swimming or running or cycling etc.

No wonder you fall off your bike, try going round them.

Your what?

I eat what I find tasty.

[James Wilkinson]

So let them get removed form the gene pool. Why do we care about them?

[James Wilkinson]

They don't exist, it's a scam. It is not possible to detect a TV in use, and definitely not what channel it's on, and even more impossible without CRTs.

It's the same electrons as anything else, it could be storage radiators heating up at night, it could be a marijuana plantation hidden my attic, it could be a car charging, it could be a room full of computers, they simply don't know. And they can't invade people's privacy by looking in your house without a search warrant.

In the 70's both Richmond and Richmond Hikll were WASP Bastions - but with "richmond" sounding like "rich man" to the Chinese, and so many more Chinese in Canada, you have to be able to read Chinese to navigate there. Punjabi helps a lot in Brampton..Hindi soesn't hurt either. I wouldn't necessarilly feel unsafe in either other than the lack of traffic sense in some areas.

[James Wilkinson]

Would be hard to achieve overnight. But we ain't all buying new cars overnight.

[rbowman]

Yeah, but it had the sheep worried. Actually, you can pick up a TV's LO but probably not from a van out in the street.

Coming soon to a country near you.

As far as aerobic exercise I do as well on a vegetarian diet as not, possibly a little better with more carbs. It's just the weights that fall off. Not enough to have a real world effect but definitely noticeable.

Cholesterol.

I'm a PETA member too -- people eating tasty animals.

[rbowman]

Taking a degree in a field with f*ck all jobs is smart?

[rbowman]

You Labour party is shaping up to be almost as amusing as our Democrats. The Tories haven't warmed up to full on infighting yet.

[clare]

Don't know how he even passed high school physics.

[Mike Duffy]

The most important thing I learned when I earned my Honours Physics B.Sc. is that there are a lot of people a lot smarter than I am.

I had already learned in secondary school (and elementary as well) that telling people "I'm smart" is a sure way to turn people away.

The first job interview I attended resulted in four permanent job offers.

I did have a Minor in Computer Science as well. At that time (1980), the job placement counsellors said there were several dozen well-paying entry level jobs for each person qualified to fill such a job.

I found out (as you say) that job openings for physicists are mostly filled by Masters & Doctors, so starting in 3rd year I took extra courses and had a 'school' term between my 3rd & 4th year in order to qualify for the minor degree.

I ended up providing computer support to physicists. They much preferred having someone who could understand both their arcane craft *and* the art of computing.

[James Wilkinson]

And 10 times as many who didn't even finish school.

Snap (ish). My first job was a computer tech at the place I'd applied for an electronics tech. I got the computer job based on my hobbies in my CV.

[James Wilkinson]

We have rivers in England which can be turned on or off. I guess they let water out of a reservoir when the canoeists want to use it.

[James Wilkinson]

Dodging those is what makes it fun. And a lifejacket won't stop you colliding with them.

[James Wilkinson]

I took a degree in the field I was good at.

[James Wilkinson]

Says the moron who claimed to killfile me.

[James Wilkinson]

There's a f****it in the Labour party trying to sue the previous labour prime minister for "war crimes" whatever they are.

[James Wilkinson]

Does this mean you're implying that anaerobic exercise isn't so good?

I object to nice animals being killed, like fluffy rabbits. But who cares about a stupid cow? They have no intelligence.

[James Wilkinson]

Since you don't need a licence to use a TV to operate your Sony Playstation or to watch bought DVDs, that technique wouldn't work anyway. They have to prove you are watching live TV (where live means shown in the last hour).

Our police aren't out of control gun maniacs like yours :-)
