Have you ever had a hybrid vehicle? It is one that has more than one type of power, such as internal combustion and electric generators
I haven't but I find them interesting. Do they have a larger fuel range than regular cars?
I'm not sure but there are other methods of storing energy such as pressurized fluid inside hydraulic hybrids
What is the pressurized fluid? What's in it?
They use hydraulic fluid inside of a closed hydraulic circuit
Oh okay that's pretty interesting. I heard cars with electric motors use regenerative breaking, is that true for hybrids?

electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist.
Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative brakes which convert the vehicle's kinetic energy to electric energy, which is stored in a battery or supercapacitor. Some varieties of HEV use an internal combustion engine to turn an electrical generator, which either recharges the vehicle's batteries or directly powers its electric drive motors; this combination is known as a motor–generator. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the engine at idle and restarting

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet.

Factory
A factory, manufacturing plant or a production plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another.
Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops. Early factories that contained small amounts of machinery, such as one or two spinning mules, and fewer than a dozen workers have been called "glorified

Entomology
Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was more vague, and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla, such as arachnids, myriapods, earthworms, land snails, and slugs. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.
Like several of the other fields that are categorized within zoology, entomology is a taxon-based category; any form of scientific study

Forensic entomological decomposition
Medicolegal entomology is a branch of forensic entomology that applies the study of insects to criminal investigations, and is commonly used in death investigations for estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). One method of obtaining this estimate uses the time and pattern of arthropod colonization. This method will provide an estimation of the period of insect activity, which may or may not correlate exactly with the time of death. While insect successional data may not provide as accurate an estimate during the early stages of decomposition as developmental

Indian spices include a variety of spices grown across the Indian subcontinent (a sub-region of South Asia). With different climates in different parts of the country, India produces a variety of spices, many of which are native to the subcontinent, while others were imported from similar climates and have since been cultivated locally for centuries.

Spice
A spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavoring, coloring or preserving food. Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are the leaves, flowers, or stems of plants used for flavoring or as a garnish. Many spices have antimicrobial properties. This may explain why spices are more commonly used in warmer climates, which have more infectious diseases, and why the use of spices is prominent in meat, which is particularly susceptible to spoiling.

Ah, yes, teapots! Some teapots today actually have a strainer built in to the spout! Super useful!
Cool. I can use that when i make tea. I will look for this feature. Is a long spout better than a short one?
As far as the spout, that is more of a personal preference, as to how it pours easier for you, as well as it depends on if you use loose tea bags or if you use tea leafs which would need a strainer in there which ultimitely makes the spout bigger thus longer.
Now that i think about it, the teapot i bought is kind of a small one. I would like to make tea by the gallon. Should i look for a bigger teapot, or will i get better results with the little one?
I would go with a larger one! They were actually derived from the bigger ceramic kettles and wine pots that could also be made from metals too.
OK. would i get a better deal on Ebay, at an auction house, or someplace like Walmart or Amazon? I am looking for collector teapots, not common ones.

tea and hot water are added, a handle for holding by hand and a spout through which the tea is served. Some teapots have a strainer built-in on the inner edge of the spout. A small air hole in the lid is often created to stop the spout from dripping and splashing when tea is poured.

Divorce
Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is the process of terminating a marriage or marital union. Divorce usually entails the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country or state.

In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.

sort of music, Bruno mentioned that many songs he has created with AWOLNATION are reminiscent of the hardcore music he grew up listening to. "I don't know. I love singing. I can't imagine me doing something where I'm just screaming. I don't believe in limitations or walls or boundaries so whatever it is to make the song sound best, maybe a 2 minute song thats just a blast of energy, but I can't imagine a full punk rock record. You never know though."

Salt baked chicken is one of the most well-known Hakka dishes, which can also be bought in many other cities in China. Another local dish is Yong tau foo (tofu) stuffed with meat, of which it is said that when Hakka people first came to the south, there was no wheat flour to make dumplings so they used tofu instead.

Jane Austen is one of my favorite writers. In fact, I've taught a course on her. Do you know much about her?
I do not know much about her, but I do know that her works has been represented in popular cultures in amyn diferent forms!

there's nothing I can do about it. NBC has been pretty good about what they've offered me. It's really been a wide variety. Unfortunately, the ones for which I've been available don't mark that much of a departure, but that's just coincidence...

In later interviews McCaffrey claims that green dragons merely pick up on psychological clues from homosexual boys before they themselves know that they are homosexual.
