SenorMysterioso, it's easily researchable on Google where the gas at particular gas stations comes from (in terms of countries). Certain stations use gas from certain provides, and their oil comes from certain regions. Chances are - if anyone knows - THIS guy knows exactly where to fill up to send, comparatively, more money North and South instead of East.
Weird. I read this exact article in Reader's Digest. Do they share sources?
Anyway yes his tactics are idiotic, offensive, dangerous and extreme, but take away from it some good tips. Don't race to red lights, braking hard; it's a waste of both gas and your brake pads. Coming to a steep hill? Go ahead an put in the clutch and let your momentum keep you at a safe speed.
Don't be a jerk, of course, but there are many things one can do that WILL help gas mileage.
That's freaking awesome! And come on, if after owning the clock for a day or two you can't approximate how closely the hands are to forming the letters withing (a very generous) fifteen minutes, you probably should just have a big digital watch anyway and forget the "hands" style altogether :) This is a very clever art piece.
Bean grow up - it's an amazing accomplishment. Until someone holds a marathon in Antarctica that this guy can compete in - which he no doubt WOULD - he deserves praise. Get over your nitpicking and recognize someone doing something noteworthy.
One a literary note one of my favorite parts of Hemingway's "Africa novels" ("the Green Hills of Africa" and "True at First Light") were the parts talking about the native peoples running after his jeep whenever he visited a village. There was a detail in...I think it was T@FL detailing a long race and how joyous the whole affair was.
Note that my first comment accompanied a differnet picture for the article. Anyway, is space junk an issue? The real issue is the frivolous launching of satellites with pointless goals (MORE TELEVISION STATIONS MONEY DOLLAR DOLLAR). Stop killing the planet with your cable subscription.
I bet it's to set the spaces between lines of type in old printing presses. Kerning and leading. Just a guess. (probably won't be checking the thread to see how wrong I am, though...lol)
