Car batteries and domestic batteries will be so efficient, so compact, and so quick to charge that there will be little point connecting to the grid. The utility companies will have seen the future and will be the vendors and installers of these batteries. They will be leased, not sold. You will have a "battery I.D." which you will use to replace your car battery anywhere and to quick charge your domestic batteries via what remains of the grid or via an umbilical connection from a fleet of (battery-powered) trucks. New health benefits will have been discovered or invented for chocolates. Most of the world will by now wonder how anyone ever smoked tobacco. More to come.....
There will be two unrelated internets, one for education, science, and finance, and the other for teenagers and spam and scams. And forums. There will be a rapidly-changing list of synthetic, savagely addictive drugs and their precursors available at competitive prices. There will be an entire generation of illiterate teenagers whose only ambition will be to kill and/or die in the name of some religion. The only people who would have the kind of mind that would appreciate art or music or culture will be too busy. More to come.....
What the hell does that mean? And while you are answering this direct question, how about another one. I asked it a few days ago. "What is involved in being porpoised slowly?"
Good question. 1. D. Trump will not be, and will never have been, president of the U.S. 2. I will be dead. 3. The Middle East will be in turmoil because the oil has run out and the architectural follies that have been built with the proceeds don't earn any return. or 3. The Middle East will be in turmoil because the world doesn't want its oil and the architectural follies that have been built in anticipation don't earn any return. 4. California will have massive solar-powered desalination plants. 5. Conspicuous consumption will have become passe. 6. Hundreds of people will be changing their names from "Kardashian" to almost anything else that is available. 7.There will be rumours of radio signals from another solar system. More to come.......
The "Donald" is a chimp!? Howie, please put forward your platforms or politicians you think we'd have done better with… If that's too complicated for you: You'll be dead soon (and, hence, not care…) so, which of your countrymen/women would you put up for us? Assuming your animosity is just assumed, to post on the Internet… In other words, what does anyone you know of think we should do? Follow GB down the sink hole, with the rest of Europe? (You'd like that, I think! But, boy-o, it might not happen!) You've got your soapbox, and you're entitled to it. You've also been roundly and soundly rejected, as a candidate… Can you not take a hint? You know little, and can express less… Why do you have such animosity for a country you know so little about? (Penis envy? ) My advice is: Don't be a pecker-peeker! ————————————————————— Yes, I know, tt92. You made the comment: But it was worthy of Howie… I calls them as I sees them!
If you thought it was worthy of Howie then you didn't see it very clearly.
Poor jimbro added to the sweeping statement on the elderly. Ah, well.
Anyway on a more in the face situation there is a country that has a selection of executions. You cab be hung, porpoised slowly, electrified, shot by firing squad. To add to the despicable nature of it of all this people can come and watch the grisly horror. Decency, principle? Neither.
I know you have never answered a direct question in these forums, but could you make an exception, just once? What is involved in being porpoised slowly?
As a child I made weird crossbows and rubber-band-powered devices to propel arrows. I used them to shoot at mullet, which swim right on the surface of the local creek. I got the arrows from the local archery club when they had reached the end of their life. To shoot fish from a distance of twenty yards doesn't need much in the way of fletching. I wasn't surprised that someone had made similar fearsome weapons, but I was surprised that he had a website.
