I refuse to listen to anyone saying this wouldn't work when we already have an example of it working in Australia.

"It's impossible! Let's just hand-wave away all the times where it was shown to actually be pretty fucking possible and straightforward."

That is not good enough. In fact, I would go so far as to say 22 to 27 hours is insultingly low. Phones used to last a fucking week without a charge. In my opinion, there has yet to be a feature on smartphones that I feel justifies the massive drop in battery life they've tried to pass off as "normal" now.

Assuming the proper licenses are obtained and maintained, which law exactly would come into play?

So Trump is starting a civil war? Because when you send troops to your own territory and call it a war, that's a civil war.

Long, long, LONG history of Americans rejecting socialism of any type, even in heavily liberal areas. And, from what I've seen, while he is leading in the polls, the majority of his support is from 18-29 year olds, which is a demographic that you can dependably rely on to not show up to vote. It's been the same story the last 1500 times these kinds of things have played out. Why the hell would it be any different this time?

Families everywhere huh? So this will help the increasing number of homeless families, right?

I'll be back after November 4th; either to eat humble pie, or to see how you're holding up and if you learned anything.

 

Is it just a matter of not being worth it? I see cooling towers releasing what appears to be a ton of steam, pretty high up. If that steam were captured at the top and allowed to condense, wouldn't that result in a ton of water with a lot of gravitational potential energy? That water could then be released and used to power water turbines. Maybe I'm overestimating the amount of water being released as steam, or underestimating how much is needed to spin a water turbine to get a meaningful result, but it seems like wasted energy to me.

 

I'm aiming to get the 30k steps in a day achievement and was wondering if the app considered a day as in a calendar day, or if it's 30k steps in 24 hours?

30k steps comes out to about 15 miles. If the app goes off 24 hours, I was considering taking a backpacking trip some weekend and hiking half in an afternoon, stopping for the night, and doing the rest in the morning. But if it goes by calendar, I'd have to adjust my plans.

 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
