THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE THING ON THE INTERNET
I FUCKING CAN’T
LMAO
THIS IS FUCKING GREAT!

politics
if i were president.
screw jails, make em work 16 our days. they have to work for where they stay.
screw bail outs, tax the biggest companies and put that money for insentives for small business.
stop outsourcing by taxing the crap out of it.
forget the war on drugs and terrorism. make a war on obesity and poverty
china is growing and we’re floundering. their #1 major is engineering ours is psychology we need to push incentives to push people toward science and things that can help us.
stop pushing college, push tech schools at first people need a career if they aren gonna help push foward technology.
you either win or you learn.
a wise man can learn more from a fools question than a fool can from a wise answer. this quote is amazing. if you delve into any question you can find answers past wat is apparent.
DOWN TO THE BASICS
As far as the car goes, one of the best things you can do to improve performance and efficiancy including milage, is simple. Clean it out. Air filters, fuel filter, oil change, and cleaning the throttle can take your car from studdering on the brink of death to fully purring beast. A car last week sounded like it was on it’s last limb, I did those four things and added a fuel system cleaner, now the thing runs like new. It’s simple cheap and saves your car a lot of problems.

New ultra-battery is the most powerful non-nuclear energy storage ever
What do you get when you combine some xenon, some fluoride, and pressures similar to those found at the center of the Earth? You get an ultra-battery, capable of storing more condensed energy than any other battery ever built.
The material used to make the “battery” is xenon difluoride (XeF2), a white crystal primarily used to etch silicon conductors. The crystal was placed in a diamond anvil cell, a tiny device that measures only two inches by three inches. The cell uses two tiny diamond anvils (as you might expect, considering its name) to produce incredibly high pressures in tiny, contained spaces.
Normally, the molecules in xenon difluoride stay relatively far apart. The squeezing process the crystals underwent in the diamond anvil cell forced the molecules closer and closer together. At first, the squeezing caused the crystal to become a two-dimensional semiconductor, but then something even more remarkable happened. When the pressure reached a million atmospheres, similar to the pressure found halfway to the center of the Earth, the molecules formed 3D metallic “network structures”, which forced all the mechanical energy of the compression process to be stored as chemical energy within the molecular bonds. At a million atmospheres, that’s a whole lot of stored energy.
Heading up this research is Washington State chemistry professor Choong-Shik Yoo, who says this “is the most condensed form of energy storage outside of nuclear energy.” The possible applications of the material pretty much all include the word “super”: superconductors, super-oxidizing materials that can destroy chemical and biological agents, not to mention new fuels and, most obviously, an energy storage device.

The Zonda: cause you just flipped off Ferrari and Lamborghini in their own country.
This beauty is mysterious. It looks like an old muscle from the back. The farrari dino 206 was the first farrari to have a less powerful 2 L v6 longitidunal
