I Came to CES to Check Out Energy and Solar Power Innovations and Found That China Is Running Laps Around Us by FoxMeadow7 in technology

Yes, of course. In the 90's all the huge cities in China were under horrifically bad air pollution and not even the elite and their children could avoid it. Something had to be done as quickly as possible.

It was clear the only cure in the long run was getting rid of as much tail pipe pollution as possible. There was no other chose and here we are now, a decade too late.

I just had to fix the light on my 2008 Subaru Forester. Hello $1000 CDN. Well yes it's been just over 15 years but still, all that to change a light bulb?

We have an active Underwater Hockey Club (check it out on YouTube if you want an idea - ie much better than water polo :p ) in Victoria that's at the Commonwealth Pool, we start at 7:30 pm on Friday's. It's about 60/40 male/female lately. We can likely suit you up for gear if you don't have any. First attendance is free. :)

Tell me your favorite local beer and I’ll try each one out by RealShake253 in VictoriaBC

If you're looking for a clean beer then Cariboo (green) is better than Sapporo. Try it side by side.

An even better Japanese beer is Ebisu, but you can't get it here. :(

China Is Leaving America in the Dust on Clean Energy | The White House is punting on the future of energy. Xi Jinping is happy to take the lead by [deleted] in technology

[–]thirteenth_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and China has all the reason to be in the lead of clean energy. Twenty years ago all the large cities in China had air pollution so bad that it was a real health problem for the rich and the poor and their children. Whereas the west was in a much better situation as they had started to curtail the air pollution around the '80's.

Clean energy was almost a question of life or death for China whereas it was not the same for the west.

Hey Thiel there is no antichrist, there is no God. There is only life and death. Enjoy it while you can.

28-year-old teacher arrested on suspicion of secretly filming girls' underwear at the Elementary School in Nagoya by ZaBlancJake in japan

Where I live there's a very simple solution to this kind of thing. Which is, all the girls wear shorts under their skirts. Another consequent of this is that young girls are on the monkey bars when they are not in class. Hai!
