If we'd listened to the slowpokes, this collision could have been a major problem!

Playing is almost like going on a brief vacation filled with Slowpokes and Pikachus.

Slowpokes, beware: More states are cracking down on drivers who dawdle in the left lane.
|
|
It also compiles data about driver behavior, like how badly they tailgate slowpokes on the highway.

|
The cheaper EVs are the slower ones here, but they're still no slowpokes off the line.

|
But cocktail bar menus tend to be the slowpokes of the food-and-drink world, seizing upon new ideas last.

I say nothing, and I take their gym, like a silent assassin with his pockets full of Drowzees and Slowpokes and Mankeys.

The hatched larvae won't eat other larvae, but they will eat the unhatched, so slowpokes risk being devoured by their new siblings.
|
|
That is not to say that only slowpokes use it—after all, the shoulder roll is a style of catch-and-pitch counter fighting.
|
|
There are the classic slowpokes — comforting, because it feels like anyone could outwit them or kill them with whatever household object is at hand.

Thankfully, for us slowpokes who don't understand, you can still buy a car-free Core i7 Z Flip for $1,299 at the Microsoft Store, as Liliputing points out.

And although homo sapiens happen to be close to the ideal size for running, prehistoric humans were intelligent enough that even the slowpokes among them could escape from predators, hunt prey and reproduce.

The first prototype was assembled at Chalk River and many SLOWPOKEs were built, mainly for research. Two SLOWPOKEs are still in use in Canada and one in Kingston, Jamaica; one has been running at École Polytechnique de Montréal since 1976, for instance.

There was an attempt at commercializing the reactor, as it could be used in remote areas or vehicles (research stations, electric-diesel submarines). Then, China entered the market with its SLOWPOKE-like reactor and thus, the project lost its commercial potential. Many SLOWPOKEs are still in use in Canada; there is one running at École Polytechnique de Montréal, for instance.

The reactor core sits in a pool of regular light-water, 2.5 m diameter by 6 m deep, which provides cooling via natural convection. In addition to passive cooling, the reactor has a high degree of inherent safety; that is, it can regulate itself through passive, natural means, such as the chain reaction slowing down if the water heats up or forms bubbles. These characteristics are so dominant, in fact, that the SLOWPOKE-2 reactor is licensed to operate unattended overnight (but monitored remotely). Most SLOWPOKES are rated at a nominal 20 kW, although operation at higher power for shorter durations is possible.

These defining features formed the basis of a successful fleet of CANDU power reactors (CANDU is an acronym for CANada Deuterium Uranium) built and operated in Canada and elsewhere. In the late 1960s (1967–1970), Canada also developed an experimental miniature nuclear reactor named SLOWPOKE (acronym for Safe Low-Power Kritical Experiment). The first prototype was built at Chalk River and many SLOWPOKEs were subsequently built, mainly for research. This reactor design is extremely safe and requires almost no maintenance (it is even licensed to operate unattended overnight); it can run for more than 20 years before the nuclear fuel needs replacement.
