The Question Thread

[Bamm]

grilled chicken with a fresh salad, but I am partial to some BBQ chicken in summer with a ice cold pint of cider..... I want chicken now.
looking for a new car at moment so may as well ask

what's your perfect car?

[Gashuk]

As an ex-car salesman and current Account Manager for a Car Finance Broker, I find myself qualified to answer this!

VW GOLF. (Pref GTD)

I'll bounce the question on!

[Umaua]

Perfect Car? One with not too much electricity, has doors, roof, wheels, suspension and lights. Oh, steering aid is also good and automatic gears.
The model and manufacturer is semantics and useless to ponder on.

Pepsi or Coke, if you absolutely have to pick one to drink.(No, you have no no answer.)

[Lars]

I can honestly say I really don't care. When I started pulling down to drink less soda I started to find both to be very "meh". Would be either coke zero or pepsi max, but been to long since I had the latter to say.

Soda or water?

[Therak]

Good water > soda. But if the water is bad... I might prefer soda.

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?

[Gashuk]

To nod back to previous questions, my car, I put down around £2.5k as a deposit and financed the remaining £10.000ish over 4 years at a ridiculously low interest rate. (Perks ey).

That's an interesting one, especially for people without cars/houses, so I'll bounce it on!

[Grogok]

I would have to say my gaming computer..it was expensive when i got..and have become even more so due to all the upgrades it's gotten..And I have no car.

What the best show you've ever seen? ( as in tv show, cartoon, anime what ever you like)

[Lars]

Firefly, Breaking Bad (not completely done with this one, slowly getting there) or Full Metal Panic would have to be one of those. Not necessarily the "best" on a technical view. But enjoyed the most.
Also, cars are cheap on the scale of expensive stuff. =P

Have you ever talked with your grandparents/greatgrandparents/really old relatives about how the world was when they were your age, and been amazed by how much change they've seen?

[Therak]

Yeah, my great grandfather (one of my big heros) He grew up and they had a phone... in the village. One. He did his military service transporting goods and stuff, with a horse drawn cart.

Do you know any fun (but otherwise useless) facts?

[Umaua]

There is no such thing as useless facts, only facts out of context.

Aint that a lovely snippet? But other than that, how about this : "You know what color gold is? Its red on atomic level, yellow when in larger quantities." Makes the red in glasses and glassblowing.

Most fantastic creation of technology?

[Srelok]

arm/ leg prosthetics. Give people a second chance at  a normal life.

Any other interesting facts for us?

[Lars]

Atoms are in a sense "endless". An electron belonging to a specific nuclei could technically be on the other side of the universe and still be paired up. It's just extremely unlikely.
This holds true among all fundamental particles when bound to another one.

Mondays, yay or nay?

[Umaua]

When I have work, NAY fucka juu Mondayy. When holiday is starting, its Yey!

I am interested in more tech innovations you find amazing.

[Lars]

The written language. It might be rather ancient looking at modern history (if still "new" in human total history). It is still the sole reason for our way of life, without it technical progress would pretty much not be a thing.

But since I posted twice I'll ask for another interesting fact (useless or not so!)

[Grogok]

Well good then this can be both an answer to the cheap car thing you said and bedre a fact interesting or not. I live i Danmark which is the most expensive country in the world (as far as i know) when it comes to cars beside the cars price there is about 200% of the cars price we also have to Pay (i think it's pure taxes not sure)..and then comes ensurance road taxes and gasolin that cost around 1.2 euro or something like it (10-12) DKK. For 1 liter with a car having between 30-60 liter gas tanks

What superpower would you have if you could Choose?
