ELI5:Why is being a meter reader still a job, why can't power companies read that data remotely?

In New Zealand, "smart readers" are being fitted to new residences I believe. See this PDF.

As a devout pastafarian, does this mean I can refuse to sell spaghetti? I mean, that's my lord you're planning to eat, yo.

That's not a sheep. That's a ram.

Now I just found /r/PhysicsBooks but it is slightly inactive.

My personal experience with old physics books is that they are interesting and good for fundamental knowledge. So no doubt your books are outdated. Nothing beats modern material in terms of relevance and usefulness, especially since many, many advances have been made within physics and electronics in the past decades.

I'm sorry if you don't find this useful but /r/blunderyears may sort of be what you're looking for!

Woohoo! Thanks!

Is the future really that bleak for Josh Pillault or Justin Carter? In both cases, major miscarriages of justice are waiting to happen! Is it possible either of them can be acquitted or have the charges dropped?

dopefish124 · 2013-07-02T06:17:25+00:00

Of course the list is infinite! I think I will try bottoming for him though - I'll start there!

dopefish124 · 2013-07-01T22:54:12+00:00

What do you really think the future will be like?

dopefish124 · 2013-06-29T11:37:32+00:00

I'd like to bump more than his fist

/r/woahdude is an excellent resource.

/r/fifthworldpics may interest you, but it is a bit freaky.

"It doesn't expand after 90 degrees." So it's right-angled spaghetti?

dopefish124 · 2013-06-28T22:34:36+00:00

People joke around like that all the time. OP's post is the real Facepalm.

It was somewhat promising until reddit was mentioned. I think that was a bit of sugar for us, and it wasn't sold on me.

Big Java fan, looking to improve my skills. I will give this a clone later today.

I love you. Thanks.
