    Which battery has longest life expectancy: lead acid, gel, Lithium ion?

    So, who uses subtitles?

    My Wife watches Elif, yes boggles the mind how can a kid be kidnapped 4-5 times a year by the same person. I'm normally on the PC in the lounge while she's watching so eventually end up watching with one eye. Don't understand how women can watch these rubbish soapies for years on end.

    Artificial intelligence

    OK, after watching 50 years of SCFI in movies and TV I guess I'm getting a bit paranoid w.r.t. robots etc. But after the past few years the development of robots has been amazing. AI robotics now being used more and more in the manufacturing industry. But now creating robots to mimic humans...
