If you burn the 20,000 pound tree after cutting it, then your complaint is valid. If, in an extreme example, you bury it in the Thames as pilings for the Roman bridge in Londonium (most are still down there) while the 3-5 new trees are growing (and sequestering) you are doing much better than leaving a huge tree to rot and hollow out.
Anyway, the high tech "solution" in the article is must better at sequestration than a mere tree, more than an order of magnitude better. The trick is whether it can scale to the point that it affects the planet, rather than just a submarine or even just a rebreather for one diver.
And it doesn't need to be very deep or for very long. Not all the peat in bogs comes from the early Iron Age, some is less than a century old. Peat is just lignite in waiting.
For a rather leisurely definition of BAM. It took around ten generations for the silver foxes, so I expect that it took a lot more generations for any wolf devoing to produce an acceptable "hound" that could be brought into the camp (after all, the hunters didn't KNOW how to do it before they tried).
Yes, but some people are licensed professionals who would be sued if they recommended a treatment like this and it did not work out too well. These are not considered merely citizens.
but I'd rather we word that as "science for the masses" or something.
Thank you, but I would rather be a self-responsible citizen than one of millions of ant-like creatures to be ruled by a self-declared elite. Stalin ran the USSR for "the masses", no matter how many of them had to die for their own good.
Engineers designed the ovens in German concentration camps, and did a fairly good job, if you just ignore one little thing about their use that was beyond the official project scope.
Seriously, the clerk is likely to say, "I, for one, support our Talibanic overlords!"
Well, if he reads Slashdot enough to pick up the old cliches, he does. Anyway, more likely the Taliban use live hostages, or relatives of hostages. Dead fingers cause comments more than trembling ones.
There is a simple cure for the filibuster threat - demand that they actually hold one. You try speaking for 12 or more hours straight with no bathroom breaks and no sitting down. Supposedly, back in the 1960s when Southern senators were holding them fairly often, it took the designated speaker a week to get ready and almost as long to recover.
If avoiding game meat is so necessary, how did our species make it through the old stone age? Maybe avoiding rare meat in general and especially downer does or old roadkill, but I cannot see how cooking well done doesn't kill the germs in anything.
Why hold off on cow's milk? Granted that human breast milk is better for human children, but lots of us were raised on cow's milk (frex, I was adopted as an infant) and there did not seem to be a plague stalking us other than polio, for which they were just coming out with the Sabin and Salk vaccines. UNPASTEURIZED milk, I could understand, but it is illegal to buy that in the USA, except commercially to pasteurize and resell.
So what? I (and most of the non-French-reading world) never heard of Charlie Hebdo before the massacre, either. Does this mean that the Paris attacks never happened, or wouldn't have mattered if it hadn't happened to members of the chattering classes, instead just to of the patrons of the kosher deli where the last male attacker was killed?
Half-pint Hal's thesis was that there was outrage and calls for banning the video, and that "the Internet" is therefore hypocritical for supporting Charlie Hebdo's right to publish what they did. I would suggest that the problem is that the Internet is not a thing, but a large collection of unrelated (intellectually and culturally so, especially) individuals, and that HpH's complaint was like pointing out that some drivers drive drunk and some belong to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or that cat's do not herd.
When I started typing my comment, I would have been the first post, when saved there were 41 comments before me, almost all saying the same basic thing. Either great minds think alike and LAPD didn't, or the original article should have gone into more and better details.
Because the people they deal with on a day to day basis should have privacy, That domestic incident and many other things cops have to deal with should not be public to everyone.
If the domestic incident turns into an Officer Use Of Force incident when the couple turn on the intruding officer, it certainly should be public info.
Turing on the camera AFTER the taser hits only lets us (the cop-cam viewers) see if the cop then refuses to call in the subject's distress when a pacemaker goes on the haywire or if the subject suffers an epileptic fit.
The point of the body cam is to record the actions before the use of force, to determine whether on not excessive force was used, and secondarily whether alternate tactics would have had a better outcome. At a minimum, turn on the camera when the officer exits the vehicle so as to get context; if necessary, the camera can erase non-force exits after vehicle re-entry to prevent using up all the recording time.
Of course, my algorithm fails for foot patrol officers. Perhaps for them, record minute long segments and discard and record over any too long before a triggering event like the taser discharge, then convert the (timestamped, of course) segments into a continuous record as needed. This requires a bit of controlling intelligence on either the body cam or a worn pack, but shouldn't require too heavy a controlling unit, I should think.
First, the government already seized that land. Any claims to that land by returned exiles will probably be met with the same attitude as claims by Canadians to lands that their Loyalist ancestors lost after the US Revolution.
Second, the land is probably now reserved for use by higher level Party members; they won't be moving.
Third, Cuban prostitutes and taxi drivers make more money than their doctors or University professors.
Except that there is a limit to how much US citizens can buy per trip, which works out to about half a dozen of the best cigars. My question is how much can you bring back from Canada? I can imagine a business with otherwise unemployed Detroit youths crossing the bridge to Ontario, buying a handful of loose cigars, and recrossing as many times s day as are allowed.
Anyway, the Cuban exiled cigar families that moved to other countries in the Caribbean produce cigars just as good as Cubans made by Cuban bureaucrats, often better.
The reason for the embargo was the property of US citizens and companies seized by Cuba, not those once owned by the exile community (but usually seized before they left).
Sorry, but I feel that gutless cowards have the same free speech rights as the rest of us, even to advocating for others to snivel and bow and tug their forelocks.
After all, AC is desperately trying to save our families' lives from our advocating copyrights shorter than 150 years after the death of the last person associated with some work, or net neutrality (or against it, or whatever), or using mil-spec encryption on our daily emails.
To be fair, the AC is just expressing the same attitude as every non-political person in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. Or the attitude of slaves in the Antebellum South. Or Hegel's redefinition of "freedom" as the recognition of necessity.
Not everyone is cut out to be Nat Turner, or John Brown. The AC clearly isn't.

Are we not all citizens?
Yes, but some people are licensed professionals who would be sued if they recommended a treatment like this and it did not work out too well. These are not considered merely citizens.

Why would people not report a SIM as stolen currently?
Perhaps because the report goes to the ISI, which invented the Taliban. Then you and your family disappear some night.

No, Jesus was Jewish.
God, OTOH, is well known to be an Englishman.
Indoor plumbing, on the other hand...
Actually, the Indus Valley civilization seems to have had the first proper sewage systems, so ...
Yeah, like the #FreeOurGirls tweets have put Boko Haram on the run.

They have obviously outsourced the editing to India.
Or New Jersey
Actually, it is in the interest of Americans to maintain the embargo. If it ends, the USA gets:
1) good cigars (to raise the cancer rates)
2) good rum (to raise the alcoholism rates)
3) cheaper sugar (to raise obesity rates)
