If for some reason we suddenly no longer had petroleum to make plastics or plastics were never developed, how would science/engineering/etc. be affected? What would we need to worry about or find alternative ways to deal with?

Over the next few days I'll be in the White Mountains area. I suspect a lot of the actual trails and what not will still be feeling the effects of winter. So, what are some great spots to visit that perhaps aren't the typical tourist draws? I'm talking bars, theaters, unique shops, etc. Anything interesting really.

At number nine. Apparently 3 dunks, a goal on an unguarded hockey goal and other commonplace sports plays are better.

How does ESPN rank these plays, seriously?

I have a problem which I'm sure afflicts other MMA fans as well, in that I don't really have many friends who are as interested in the sport as I am. This leaves me with times before and after big events or after news announcements wanting to discuss what transpired and with no outlet to do so. Message boards and reddit are okay, but it's not quite the same as talking in real time.

So r/MMA, are any of your also looking for people to talk mixed martial arts with? Be it in some sort of IM service, FB chat, whatever.
