Need a steerable phased array of microwave emitters, along with the IR-camera. Could evenly heat food with varying water concentrations. A good use of that military radar tech.

I always see 50% of waisted horizontal space on the sides on this site. Could you change

No junk mail in Australia? I average 5-10 pieces a day. Such a waist of trees.

Twice I've seen crop dusters come close enough to move wires. Missed seeing one snag a wire by a few minutes. Watched him fly for a bit and was heading home. Even 1/2 mile away I could hear the crash. Did a belly landing in the field, but luckily he was fine.
Still cringe whenever I see a plane fly anywhere near a power line.

Yes. Tried one over a year ago and liked it, but the co2 refills cost more than buying 2L seltzer from the grocery store. Just looked up the local refill prices. They have dropped to less than $15 for the "60L" (two friends tested and averages about 40L per bottle). It was 15% more expensive(ignoring water cost and "saving the environment"). Now it's 25% cheaper. Will have to pick one up.

High fructose corn sugar is about 55% fructose and 45% glucose.
"Table sugar" ie sucrose is about 50% fructose and 50% glucose.

Glucose is not fine. You gain the same amount of weight regardless of the type of sugar. Glucose can still kill you, but fructose is worse. It has shown some insulin resistance and also increased cholesterol levels.

HFCS is not much worse for you than table sugar, but it is worse than dextrose(ie d-glucose). Why don't more people use dextrose? It requires 3 times as much dextrose to achieve the same taste as HFCS. I'm still not sure which is worse.

PS: Both HFCS and dextrose are made from corn.

Same here I used to get headaches from diet soda as a child. I still refuse to drink anything with aspartame in it. Wish someone would sell pop with less sweeteners. I find them all too sweet to drink.

Sugar is good in small amounts. The amount in pop is very unhealthy. Even drinking too much water can cause seizures.

Here in Washington State:

http://www.columbiabasinherald.com/news/crime-fire/article_1954e1fe-3555-11e4-a06e-0019bb2963f4.html
"Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones announced plans to hold homeowners in the Larson Housing area accountable for crimes committed on the properties they own."

He doesn't say how he will hold home owners responsible for crimes committed on their property, but civil forfeiture is the only legal option I know of.

After the story was printed in the local paper people were upset, and he decided to clarify his statements. https://www.facebook.com/GrantCoSheriff/posts/338345812994397

He is only targeting "absentee private landlords" ie people who rent out their house but do not live in the city.

"I am clarifying this because I don’t want hardworking live-in homeowners in the Larson Community to think law enforcement will be holding them solely responsible for someone else's criminal actions which happen on their property."

Now that the locals think they are safe and only property owners from Seattle are being targeted, the story disappeared.

If you live in Grant County, please vote this guy out.
