I believe New York recently enacted this.
]]>Also, the "gas chamber" is strictly a one-person affair - there is simply not anything which remotely resembles WWII Germany's assembly-line of death, and the gas-chamber is smaller than the average stall in a public restroom. It has room for one chair and maybe a single guard (who must stand up - no sitting room) to strap the "guilty" party into the chair.
Actually the California gas chamber was a two-seater. And they had a team of at least two people (I think three) to strap the victim in.
]]>The bonus is all the cool pictures of 1950's cars.
]]>VERY poorly designed set of controls. Oh, and the volume needs multiple rotations to go from, say, upper 20's down to say, 10 (where you can talk).
Agree completely. Awful interface. I thought Pioneer would be a safe choice, but ...
The language choices are English, Turkish, and Russian. Perhaps one more? Fun if you get stuck in Turkish and have to try to navigate your way out of the menu system.
]]>I wish that that were true. His supporters will say the conviction is 'fake' or 'rigged' and it won't bother them a bit. Unless he goes to jail I can't see it affecting him much.
]]>The gas from Costco & from $brand is the same gas. It comes from the same distributors & gets delivered in the same trucks. In fact, the EXACT same truck that delivers to Costco then goes across the street & delivers to the $brand station.
My father said that as a teenager, he had a summer job at the Casper refinery in Wyoming. This would have been around 1940, and one of his tasks was pouring a small amount of dye in railroad tank cars full of gasoline as they passed by on their way out of the facility. The dye varied depending on what brand of gas it was, but it only took about a cupful for the whole car. So in this case, same gas, just different colors.
]]>My recollection is Niven's bacteria ate semiconductors resulting in the infrastructure levitating the floating cities failing. Eating something more high tech than PVC, at least.
