*Batteries are the biggest problem. There's just no way to replace the internal combustion engine with electrical power in a huge swathe of applications.

Everyone buy tinned food in week 1 for the next 2 weeks or just shop in supermarket A and never B
Millions of tonnes of free food then comes on the market
Hmm come to think of it supermarket A and B will become trade friends with each other, when one is low on oranges and the other has an excess.
They can pay 1/2 price and both parties win as opposed to giving away for free.
hmm now I am thinking supermarkets will try to stock on the low side of fresh produce
as opposed to the latter, the last crossiant might become more valuable
hmm now I wonder what size store is classified as a supermarket, will small fresh produce stores flourish under this law

Cheers for saving the human race bro.
The safety concerns are legit and you need a whackload of energy to separate it in the first place. But yeah, decent stopgap."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

Do you have anything to declare.
Yes, $20k cash.
Why do you have that?
I won it yesterday.
Fair enough, off you go.

Last time I saw Sigur Ros was in a tent at Oxegen, probably 10 years ago now. Just as the band are coming out on stage these two scobies in tracksuits squeeze themselves right in front of me and my mate, talking complete shite at the top of their voices. They obviously have no clue who the band they are about to see are and are just drinking away and blabbering to each other about knacker stuff. Me and my mate are convinced they are going to ruin the gig and think about moving away from them, but it's getting too rammed in there and we're in an otherwise good spot.
Anyway the band starts and one of the scangers starts rolling a joint. Sigur Ros are doing their thing and the two boys are blathering away about gear, probation, burds etc. Everyone around them is starting to get pissed off, but the pace of their chatter starts to slow. By the end of the 3rd song the two lads are dead quiet. The gear they're smoking is so strong that me and my mate are thoroughly stoned just standing behind them, and we're all really getting into the gig now.
After a few minutes of silence they say to each other:
"Maaan, dis music is loike so... wholesome"
"Yea man, it's loike, really... wholesome"
"Yea it fills ya with loike, it makes ya feel really peaceful and loike... I dunno"
"Yea man it's really wholesome music"
"Yeah so wholesome".
Me and my mate start laughing and the two boys look around like they're going to knife us. To try and diffuse the situation I say:
"They're a great band, aren't they?". Thankfully it works.
"Yeah man what are dey called?"
"Sigur Ros"
"Sigga wha?"
"Sigur Ros. They're Icelandic."
"Icelandic? They're class, man. You wanna tug on this?". He offers me his joint.
Me and my mate have a few drags as your man rolls another. The stuff goes straight to my head. I look around and realise it's one of probably hundreds of spliffs being passed around this tent. There's clouds of thick smoke filling the place and everyone's high on music and life (and drugs).
Me and my mate must have seemed posh as fuck to these two lads, but we end up telling them all about the band and getting completely binned together. By the end of the gig we've all basically had a spiritual experience where we are filled with love for our fellow humans, to fuck with arbitrary class distinctions. It was great."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

That's some sort of matrix array. No clue of the answer. Fecking students self-learning outside of the classroom with these online courses. The thing I learned most during my PhD: << google everything >>, is drawing an embarassing blank.May you live in interesting times!

Need some tech help. My Lenovo thinkpad that I bought last month stopped working earlier for an hour or two. Got it working now but it wont connect to WiFi, it will work with the cable plugged in though. It connects bottom right but has the yellow triangle error and the WiFi bars are on zero. Tried lots of things but happy with any better suggestions than my dumb ideasGo big or go homeless.

Probably something that Twilight Zone would have dealt with in 45 minutes whereas this is 9 hours but hey.
Some inept scenes in casino and at greyhound track were unfortunate, hate when writers don't bother with research but go with their own preconceptions of how gambling works.
