Thanks Giz but as we have had the articles on cheap ways to brew coffee, the areo press, the cafetiere and the moca pot. We've had the article on pour over machines and why most are shit. We've had why all k-cups and nesspresso are crap. Where is the one on the bean to cup semi-pro style offerings, like the Jura Z5
Guy I knew at Birmingham extracted pure capsaicin and on a bet for a large bar tab proceeded to put a single crystal not much larger than a grain of sand on his tongue.

Vomiting, swelling of the face a trip to the hospital and the loss of taste for 4 days, and that is why ladies and gentlemen we do not put things from laboratories in to your mouth. Especially when it could rate 16,000,000 scovilles

First stock 1Ghz cards.
Ah couldn't remember what that "local spirit" was called, all I remember was it tasted like fennel and stopped me from hurling viking beer, puffin and shark all down my front. My God hákarl is nasty. Next time I want something that tastes like that I'll cover a lump of herring with cleaning fluid and Gorgonzola then shoot my self for thinking I wanted that again.
Good article, but with modifying our sensory input we would also need to start screwing around with our brain as there aren't many neurons to spare. If we wanted to increase our smell sense to be comparable to that of a dogs we would also need to increase the amount of gray matter linked to it. In fMRI scans a proportionally larger area of a dogs brain lights up on smelling something than a human, and contrary to the popularly held misconception that we only use 10% of our brain power we pretty much use all of it.

Although some other improvements would be nice such as the enhanced vision and hearing. Although I'd go for the cuttlefish eyes as they're pretty much the most developed in the animal kingdom. No blind spots, two focal points and the entire eye reshapes instead of just the lens.

Bone engineering would be good, as we know bone density and elasticity varies from person to person being able to tweak that to get to a point where your bones are stronger, more able to absorb impact and when they do break more likely to have a clean break. Although an increase in ligament and tendon strength would be required too as dislocation isn't fun either. As the a doctor once told me "you don't break you bend and pop a joint".

And living in a city the only place I want taste receptors is in my mouth. I already know what the underground smells like. I do not want to know what it tastes like. Also what would you do when you have a shower? Soap and Shampoo don't taste good this I already know.

Gigolo Jane yes Gigolo Joe not so much, too much like a mannequin. And Joe is a dude.
Few years back I was in Iceland and after a few drinks I was decided we should have some local food, cut to us eating salt puffin and some of the nastiest food I've ever had hákarl, a shark that is poisonous when fresh is buried under rocks and gravel for 3-4 months then sliced in to strips and dried for 6-8 months then chopped into cubes for consumption. It smells like piss, makes you gag and is normally had with the local spirit.
Gah
Tastes like strong cheese, with little bones in it.
I have a fried who recently moved back from Africa where car jacking is a big problem and home made security systems aren't frowned upon. Apparently his neighbour was so tired of his ride getting jacked that he installed an air bag in his headliner above the drivers seat, If you were to get into the car and start to drive off in it, it would explode down on to your hear and knock you out unless you had flipped a switch under the seat.

He had also heard of people installing cattle prods in the door handles.

Mmmm Fosters brewed in the U.K. mmmm Holly Valance.

Na I'll stick with my ales and European largers and Coopers, and Holly.

Lets first get siri able to search for businesses out side of the U.S. and when I'm using proper English.
The exact location is Sussex. It's in the article you link to.
For a start yes they aren't "bomb proof". Bins like this are typically designed like a munitions factory; thick walls thin roof. In this case reinforced surrounds and a week top so if a bomb explodes in one of them the blast is directed skywards and bits of shrapnel aren't flung out at street level to damage our nice historic buildings (still have holes in the from the IRA and WW2) and people too I suppose.

Nice that they show tube information although what would be useful is if they showed the times for the last train at the nearest stations.

Some drunken tosser is going to kick the screen in or try to pilfer it.

They would have to be pretty strong magnets, as I have had a few serious wipeouts that have left a trail of skis, hats, goggles and poles down the slope. After ten minutes lying still making sure nothings dislocated or broken searching for my stuff in powder isn't all that fun. Trying to find lenses from my goggles would be even less.

Also just got me dragon apx goggles so I'll be sticking with them for now.

Twilight and everything it spawned.
I hate you.
My London speed is about 30 Mbps for about $44
My Cornwall speed is 2Mbps tops and very unstable at that (can't even stream radio) and thats about $35.
I hate Demon Internet more.
Nice. The list of cruses that I want to go on has just doubled in length. The other being the Hebridean Princess cruse around Scotland, mainly for the whiskey, if it's good enough for the queen
I only scanned the text but I didn't notice the why it's a bad idea part. If memory serves it was due to ice build up on the outside of the envelope and less lift is achieved in cold weather. Going by hot air balloon would have been the better choice.
1 Siri is a bloke in the U.K.
2 A Jammy Dodger is a layered biscuit with a hole in the top, not a fucking sandwich.
3 He's not Scottish
4 A biscuit is like a cookie but doesn't things like chocolate chips in.
On the flip side this is moot for the rest of the globe. Personally I would prefer a e-reader by Foyles or Waterstones as they only offer Sony or Kobo and I gave up on Sony after MiniDisk
