I assumed, from the trailers, that the machine was horrifically expensive to operate (otherwise yeah, it would be on every street corner) and Mark Wahlberg's character just wants to steal a use in it (looks like he gets some kind of radiation poisoning at one point).
There aren't too many aircraft in the world more "serious" than an F-35. It's a latest generation stealth fighter with supersonic flight capability and V(/S)TOL variants. It's no F-22 or PAK-FA...but it's pretty good.
Even assuming the link between lead in the enviornment and crime were real, it would still make sense for the NRA to do this. Remember they are a gun manufacturers' industry group first, being gun rights' advocates is just a way of achieving better business for that group. More violence means more gun sales which is good for the NRA.
In fact they'd probably start secretly releasing lead into the environment to drum up sales. They've never been squeamish about trading lives for dollars.
Don't know about child porn, but the features needed to play other videos can be enabled on a per-side/per-video basis with a few clicks. I assume it would be the same for CP.
There's other stuff on there you know that does good things for mankind, good enough that I think it outweighs all the CP.
Selfishness might still be the most beneficial strategy for humans, in the societies we've built that not only foster but massively reward selfishness.
The walls are quite well-established in all of those, they're just not done making them a thousand feet tall, covered in grease, topped with spikes and surrounded by lava moats.
Wow what kind of brush do you use to apply gloss that thick?
You want to make the only rice that will still grow a patented product from Monsanto and friends? I suppose you could try to grow rice in Russia or something once you have enough water. Funny thing, that's a point that keeps coming up on that list, not enough fresh water. Bah I'm sure it's no big deal, just more alarmism. We can mine water from asteroids or something right? Maybe open some of those eco-friendly and energy-efficient desalination plants.
Funny how you only point out localized problems on one side when they're on both sides of the chart.
Increase in wildfire has little to do with agriculture? Maybe it's just another localized problem but the crops by me aren't made of asbestos, they burn pretty well in my experience.
But it's OK, we can grow more crops in Canada and Russia and Northern Europe and China and sell that stuff to the starving poor people near the equator. Bam, free market solved the problem.

What if the security forces are robots (that aren't given self-aware AI for shits and giggles?)
I wonder if Star Trek ever did such an episode.
Closest one is "The Cloud Minders"
Then why don't they have the same problem when lounging on megayachts?

That may have been the intent but it still has the stated effect.
if they become trivially easy to manufacture then 3D printing gets controlled tighter than guns ever were.
FTFY.
It wouldn't really be 3D printed then would it? It would be a composite hand-formed with robotic assistance.
Did you read the second link?

Funny how they protect the gun manufacturers from gun owners:

It's the biggest gun manufacturers' industry group because it uses unwitting gun owners as puppets to do all the work.

The recycling argument is valid in both cases, it's just that the anti-EV crowd would rather spread FUD.
This. And then "KILL ME" :-P

Good thing I use a clean-state VM for darknet surfing...with JS disabled, along with most every other feature beyond regular HTML rendering.
Clearly what we need here is another, lower layer of bootkit protection to protect UEFI secure boot.
(100 years later....)
"Oh no! All 6000 layers of bootkit protection have been breached!"
"Those fools! If only they'd given it 6001 layers! When will they learn!?"
Oh the wall is absolute shit at keeping content in. It's really meant to keep users in.

So you just admitted that you easily ignore large amounts of information off-hand, and you've used an ad-hominem for the second time now.
I will not compete at that level.
I never knew there was a paywall because of this. Cookies disallowed by default, user agent randomized.

The problem is that the negatives heavily outweigh those positives:
