I'm trying to imagine, as the lyrics of a song entreat me, that there is no heaven, that when I look up all I really see is sky, but in doing so I have to pit a scientist against God. Due to some theory. But that isn't really what Sheldon Cooper wishes to say when he compares an engineer to one of these theorists. I think engineers are responsible for the way I feel. So, I'm going with ... Engineers are better and the esteemed Dr. Cooper is wrong.

All I can say is that at least when I was in college an Engineering degree required more work than a Bachelor of Science degree. And it required more technical courses as well.

Who is Sheldon Cooper, and why would anyone care what he thinks?
Scientists find interesting bits of knowledge about the way the Universe works; engineers find ways to apply those bits to solve problems. Without either we'd still be living in caves, wondering if rocks might be edible.

I am disappointed by the lack of "extinct volcano lair" options on the market...
|
|
|
|
|
its such a personnel thing the lair, do you have docks for subs or launch pads for rockets? where do you put the convenient air ducts for access by your enemies?
are you using sharks or heavily armed hamsters(if Chris has left any)?
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

Sharks with lasers. What kind of question is that?

In the real estate business are only 3 things important: "Location, Location and Location" 
- island are very "offshore" (high transportation costs)
- Taifuns
- the rising sea level (climate change)
I love my small flat near the transportation stations and super-market

This project is damned to sink in the red sea. It was constructed by men and if not properly maintained it will get destroyed. (as I saw in TV in the Red Sea before Dubai can happen fierce orcans)
It is a historical mistake: bad investment of billions of Dollars.

No problem, just build a concrete wall around it. Problem solved 
It's not the sinking I'm worried about, rather the natural erosion.
|
|
|
|
|
As seen on TV: there is some heavy concrete around, but it stands somehow on the seaground. And the seaground is moving and so all standing on it...

Today while driving in AutoBahn, I encountered 3 drivers who did not know the purpose of "Turn Blinkers/Light" in their car.
"This light is to indicate your intention and directiion of your lane change before you make a move" You idiotic semi finsihed human specimens
One guy gave the signal after they were half way through the change.  and other two after completely changing the lane 
Its good that my brake system were upto date and coffee was keeping me extra alert on a overcast day.
Rant Over... Nothing here to see.
cheers,
Super

So.. are you one of those BMW drivers who angrily shoot their high beams at anyone who offends them?
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately No. I am a humble man with Hyundai Accent.
Anyway Shooting high beam is better than shooting a Gun

Somehow the thought of an Hyundai Accent firing its high beams in anger is making me giggle

That's ok, no matter the region you're from, your accent doesn't come through when you're just writing.

I have a BMW 5-series, and most of the time the high beams is not needed. On the motorway most people move away, by themself, when they see the BMW comming from behind
I have never seen that happen with all the other cars I have had.

That is kind of what my dad has always done when making normal turns in the city.
Here's one for you. If you ever find yourself driving in Mexico on a country road (or small highway) with one lane in each direction and you are behind a big truck who suddenly turns on his left-turn signal, that is the trucker telling you the coast is clear for you to pass him  .
It is something that takes time getting used to.

I imagine so. I always hesitate when it happens to me. Normally you can tell that he is not really getting ready to make a left turn, but man, you are in trouble if he is.
