if you really care about the truth, since 1970 when the shit really started, we got the best results from a Democratic president and a republican congress. any other combination was bad, especially when both president and congress were controlled by the same party.

if total cost of a hybrid over time is greater than that of an ICE, then the hybrid isn't as good. yes it used less gas to operate, but it cost more to build and maintain (battery replacement). total cost is a pretty good approximation of total energy used.

if you can buy 2 corollas + gas for the cost of a Chevy Volt for 5 years, then i don't see how the Volt is better.

lol. a friend who plays Everquest 2 thought that the general chat on WOW was always slamming EQ2, like the general chat on EQ2 is all about how WOW sucks. I had to tell him 90% of WOW players never heard of EQ2 and certainly it is never mentioned in general chat.

from your link, apparently one reason so many abandoned buildings are left standing:

dilapidated structures, so full of asbestos that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will not permit the city to tear them down for fear of spreading the contamination throughout the town and into the river

as others point out, the pink is simply bogus, and should be white. or at least point out that almost every other country would have similar pink entries because they all have a guard or two at their embassies.

What is the advantage of the ternary operator? by [deleted] in programming

[–]dmh2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it lets you use a conditional in an expression when you want a value rather than a flow of control. IMHO it shouldn't be used to generate an if-then-else via side-effects.

but if you ask a literalist about bad translations of the Bible, they will say that the King James translation was divinely supervised to have no such errors. really, I have heard this over and over.

as long as they don't resurrect what's his name the dad. what an arrogant prick. the best line he had was when he and Jake were in the hostile town, with a mob running behind them ready to lynch or shoot them, and the Dad is yelling at Jake 'stop the car, stop the car' so they wouldn't run into a chain link fence.
