I'm not suggesting that paper isn't a nasty, wasteful process that is dangerous to the environment, nor am I in any way ignorant of the impact of the publishing industry and the paper and pulp industry.
However I am suggesting that if you did some research into the environmental impact of electronics manufacturing and disposal you'd discover that it is an equally nasty and wasteful process. And it is this that I believe you are ignorant of.
Examples being the production of integrated circuits, semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and printed wiring assemblies. All release hazardous gases, effluents, use up amazing amounts of water and energy for an item several hundred times their size and use a large number of hazardous chemicals.
This does not even consider the environmental cost of getting the raw materials used in electronics out of the ground and processed even before they go into the manufacturing process.
I'm not even asking you to care, just to be aware.

Where does it state that a teacher can't lay hands on a child? They can't beat them, but I've never heard or seen any case where they can't grab you by the upper arm and drag your ass down to Administration to call your parents.
Am I correct in assuming that when you are using the Radio you aren't just chatting away with local ham operators and that the topic of conversation is usually related to your actual flight? But I think that's a important distinction.
Also I am guessing the distances used in aviation from possible obstructions are far greater than in a land vehicle.
All in all, not buying the plane/car analogy. Not disagreeing with your overall point however, we do need much better training, I finally realized why driving in Houston stresses me out so much. Apparently until recently they never had to pass a road test to prove they have a basic understanding of the rules of the road in a real scenario. This may account for the large amount of illogical driving I see on the road every day.
I'd assume that they'd grab the wheel in the event of a an approaching obstruction. Trying to avoid an obstacle (especially one that surprises you) using your knees is just silly.
One usually holds the wheel in place with your left foot and manages the gas/break with the other.
Still not advisable behavior, but neither is doing anything while driving a car besides driving.
The sway that you get at the top of a skyscraper would make telescopes impractical, they'd have to constantly compensate for variation in sway due to wind.
Wait. Are you asserting that people should have access to every film/tv show ever created to watch whenever they want, as many times as the want, on whichever device they want, with the highest possible quality imaging all for less than the cost of one meal per month?

Naw, I was feeling snarky and felt like rolling around in the mud.

Wow...normal people use US Dollars, so logically it means the people in the world that don't use US Dollars are not normal?
I wish I had mod points for you.
I sure hope you don't use Kindle for environmental reasons. If you do, you should do more research on what it takes to make a single unit.

Left knee, not foot. Damn cold medicine.

You are obviously not a New Yorker if you think glares will stop the subway preachers.
It amuses me greatly when I use that app on my iPod.

I know it's outside the surface of the sun, but the corona is no longer considered part of the sun?
Isn't a scientific report by definition made of facts and not hysteria?
Then your answer is no, you can't imagine what mythology/traditions would have arisen if rain came from the moon?
Why would you need bots? Can't you just pay people with large followings to +1 things?
seems a lot more reasonable than the article/summary:
We show how the prevailing majority opinion in a population can be rapidly reversed by a small fraction p of randomly distributed committed agents who consistently proselytize the opposing opinion and are immune to influence. Specifically, we show that when the committed fraction grows beyond a critical value pcâ10%, there is a dramatic decrease in the time Tc taken for the entire population to adopt the committed opinion. In particular, for complete graphs we show that when ppc, Tc~lnN. We conclude with simulation results for ErdÅ's-Rényi random graphs and scale-free networks which show qualitatively similar behavior.
Nazi super tech was much more common in the second run of the Captain than in the original golden age series.
So is CGI. They're just better drawings.
Don't worry about Bucky, this is the comics after all. His body will be found by Russians who will turn him into "Winter Soldier"

I don't understand. Are you suggesting that Marvel Studio's stop making comic book movies?
The entire point of Marvel Studios is to convert its IP from low circulation and poor profit comic books to the lucrative movie/tv market.

Isn't it glorious?
