  1. I've been to the Louvre. She's covered with a protective glass that filters out damaging light, and is probably bullet proof. Whip cream won't do a thing.

  2. 2049 doesn't sound like a goal to abolish this but sounds like kicking the can down the road. The population will only increase, and by the time 2049 comes there will be many more times this type of housing than there is today. I've only been to Hong Kong once and stayed in a tourist type hotel. My hotel room probably was larger than what a half-dozen people are living in one house like this.

  3. I immediately thought is was a group of drones. Kind of common these days.

  4. I think it's best not to let your pet get into the habit of touching kitchen appliances. There's a YouTube video I recently viewed of a dog turning on the range when the owner was away. Once the house was on fire, the dog goes out the pet door.

  5. I would hate for my car to get stuck in the middle of the bridge.

  6. Does shooting these small rockets into clouds really create much, if any, rain?

  7. I've been to Japan during the summer. It might not be extremely hot, but the humidity is a killer (except in the higher altitudes and toward the North).

  8. Nobody survived. If you look at a picture of the bridge (Second Wanzhou Yangtze River Bridge) you'll immediately know why. It's a large drop from the road into the water.

  9. At this very moment, there are hundreds of millions of desktop computers running in offices with nobody using them. They're running all night, all weekend, and maybe for weeks with nobody ever using them. This is so I.T. departments can send software updates when the time comes. Is this really efficient? The amount of energy wasted probably can power several cities.

  10. Kids do dumb things, but I was never that dumb as a kid. He still could have injured himself badly landing on his bottom. He obviously has a huge bruise. He won't be sitting comfortably for a while.

  11. This has happened in the U.S. I've read articles where people bid on the contents of an unclaimed public storage locker and when they start moving the contents find dead bodies. I remember this happened in Los Angeles a while ago. The winning bidders called the police when smelly fluids dripped out of a storage chest in a storage locker they started to move. Three dead bodies, that may have been there for years.

  12. In my part of town, they charge extra for them. ;)

  13. Is it humanly possible for passengers to push a stuck light rail train ( 0:05 ) ???

  14. Whatever makes you happy. He's articulate, dresses OK and so on, but there could be some sort of mental condition.

  15. Better climbing/snow shoes will help. If you're wearing regular run-of-the-mill tennis shoes, you're just asking to fall.

  16. It's pointless on her part. She expects the train company to delay the entire train for her, and whatever trains are coming behind it, because her husband is late. You'll have to wait for the next train you %*@&!#?. In the U.S., they'll hog-tie you and take you away if you act up like this on public transportation, and especially with air travel.

  17. In California, they're encouraging more electricity for everything. Cars, heat, cooking, etc., because less pollution. I wonder, if a 100% electric future is feasible. It's not like electricity is unlimited, and can be made to power every car. Power plants can't be built overnight. Then there's earthquakes in California too. One big one can devastate the electric grid. Those Teslas won't being going anywhere without electricity.

  18. I'm sure consumers know these aren't the same products. It fills a void for now. If and when these brands return to Russia (things can change, but who knows how long) the knockoffs will cease.

  19. Enough wool for a department store full of sweaters.
