People have been saying this ia s crime, I'm certain . I'll make sure that Anonymous Cowards will be modded so high that theiy'll get tired of being so insightful. I'll build a Slashdot with the Cowards at the top, and make the moderators pay for it. Oh yeah, I can tell you that.
I am not as radical as most vegetarians about this stuff with being cruel to animals and stuff, but I do care about the environment, and having lab grown meat on the table would mean that we could use the resources on the earth more effectively. Already now we know that the developing countries rather shouldn't adopt the meat eating habits of the western world.
So yes, its a good idea. Would I eat it? If it will taste as good as real meat, then yes.
So definitely a thing to look forward to.
There is something to be said for the environmental angle. As we race to prove Malthus wrong again, we'll need to do something akin to this - eventually you can't have people and their meat occupy the exact same space, so fields must be turned into human habitat. I see the future as lab grown meat and vat grown algae as the vegetable.
Well, that sounds a little gloomy, but its a ways off. Since I am a dedicated Omnivore, but I do care about the treatment of animals, so hell yeah, I'll eat lab grown meat.
I am a happy carnivore, and that is what people are designed to eat along with our veggies, but I'm also an animal lover. To have lab grown meat would be to eliminate the least pleasant part of the process.
As well, people who like to eat exotic critters will be able to eat Wombat meat, People that believe eating the penises of animals puts lead in their pencils will be able to eat lab grown rhinoceros dingus. Why cannibals..... nah, let's not go there.
But seriously, this should remove any ethical vegan objections, as the animals that contribute the meat stock won't be harmed.
Furthermore, We might try growing lab grown Rhino horn, or Elephant tusks.
It started after the bombing of the Marine barracks, not three years earlier during the election.
You realize Japan and the US were enemies once too? Can we please drop the simpleton view of world politics. It's like high school.
Jaan - now an ally, and a good friend of the USA hasn't been an enemy since 1945. Same with Germany.
However, Iran was at the time these matters happened was an active enemy.
It would be like the Obama administration selling arms to Isis, or the Bush administration selling arms to the Taliban or to pre shack and awe Iraq. Active enemies. If it were Demacrats doing this, you'd demand blood and massice death for traitors. With Republicans, it was just sensible foreign policy.
And about that Barracks bombing - wasn't any to do about that either. Funny how times change.
And even more money to be made by selling Iran's oil and stopping all those silly profit-eating conservation and energy independence programs. Better to sell our national security for a few bucks. The oilies figured that if things got bad in the states, they'd just move elsewhere.
Just like now.
And if they are successful in this pecuniary extraction phase, they'll find another prosperous country to wreck.
True, I was making a general statement, and it would not surprise me at all to learn that in some FOIA relase years from now, they used the same tactic to get the ones you are talking about released. I suspect it did, and the second time was when they were caught.
"Experimental artwork" - come on... this is part of the "90% of everything is crap" aka Sturgeon's Revelation; On the Internet, 99%; (see Facebook);
Ugh! I know a few people who have used Facebook as a place to store their photos, not checking to see what Facebook does to them.
But hey, quite a few years ago, someone at my employment had a project, and one of his photos was chosen to be the front page of a prestigious magazine. So he brought down the 3.5 by 5 linen finish photo, and told me they needed an artwork ready print. So I told him I needed the negative:
"What's that?"
"The negative. You know, the strips of plastic like material that come back from the place with the paper prints?"
"Oh - you mean those Orange things? I just toss those"
"Ohhh boy"
Needless to say, the resulting cover was lacking a bit. You can only do much making a copy neg from a small linen surface print.
Yeah the fucker should just have kept quiet and definitely lost his work rather than having a chance of getting it back. Fuck him, I'mn a neckbeard so he can fuck right off. We're superior us techies because computers.
Dood! something going on in your life at the moment? I've not seen so many angry, sarcastic posts by one person for a long time
It doesn't take a neckbeard (whatever the hell that is) to figure out that "the cloud" is not a safe place to store your stuff. It just takes a bit of prudence. An artist's images are similar to business data's files in that they are their lifework and IP. So unless they are in the business of creating ephemeral art - think the sidwalk art that disappears after the next rain - You have to preserve it.
In my own field - Photography - we have to jump through a lot of hoops for permanence, specific ways to work with and treat the paper the photos are printed on storage of negatives - CD storage when that was common.
I spent and spend a lot of time making certain that what I do is recoverable. And now that I am on digital photography, there are the issues with preserving the photos and data there as well.
So now I have all of my negatives and slides scanned and backed up, and they are now sealed in an evacuated container. The resultant digital files are archived in multiple locations, on devices that I own.
If a person is making art and has an interest in preserving it, it is incumbent upon them to make certain that
their method of preservation is adequate. And any casual perusal shows that the cloud is not adequate. Unfortunately, this fellow got an indelible example of just why that is the case. It's sad, but it is his fault for not doing his homework. If permanence is important, it must be important before the art or data is lost.
Now have a beer or adult beverage of your choice, and chillaxe.
Not to sound unsympathetic, but if you are foolish enough to trust the cloud, this is what happens to you. And once it does - tough, you lost your stuff. It's like jumping off a cliff, happy about the awesom view and the weightlessness, and being pissed off that there is a hard place at the bottom of it.
No, Iran contra was half a dozen years later. Do you idiots even wiki this shit?
Iran-Contra was discovered some years later. Specifically, getting arms to an enemy of the united States and to another group via an end-around in order to circumvent the Boland amendment was started as a way to attempt to get some hostages held by Hezbolla in Lebanon.
Now might such a thing have happened in the goings on in the 1980 election? Who knows? But a group that is wiling to give aid to enemies of the US, it is at least plausible that a very similar thing happened a few years earlier, merely undiscovered.
In the meantime, it was interesting that this whole thing included a metric shitload of illegal actions, like destroying classified evidence to avoid prosecutions, removing classified materials under cloathing, selling arms to an enemy of the US and violating laws passed by congress.
In the end? Acquittals and pre-emptive pardons, and the party of the moral high ground was pleased.
Sellout to Iran? The Republicans certainly used the hostage crisis to campaign against Carter, but they didn't really do anything special to get the hostages released.
Better check with Ollie North and Casper Weinberger about that statement.
If it weren't for pussy weakling Republicans willing to sellout to Iran he would have had a second term and our great Nation would be on a solid progressive course.
Yeah, but there was a lot of money to be made by selling arms to Iran and the Contras afterwards.
That's the best thing about them - they won't let little things like enemies of the US or violating laws get in the way.
I've had a lot of fun with my Pi3 since I got it. The new one will be nice for a number of things, but I'm certain that it will be a little different in approach for buyers. I think it will be used to take care of specific applications. Whereas the Pi3 is remarkably capable to get, use, and then dream up applications for.
I have my Pi3 in a nice little wooden treasure box case, with a Bluetooth keyboard, and a soundcard dongle plus a USB to serial adapter, and am using it to do digital Radio comms with. I'm running mostly Ubuntu Mate - although I also have Raspbian OS on a different MicroSD card. One cool feature lost with the smaller version is with embedded memory, you won't be able to have different MicroSD cards for different OS's. Maybe the smaller computer will give a boost to the W10 IoT OS from Microsoft. I didn't find that too useful
Don't worry, they have a backup plan that consists into letting people enact sharia laws over the whole planet.
This will surely fix the gender issues.
ahh, sharia and sharia alike, as the old saying goes.
The fact that these things don't display the same across platforms means they're useless trash.
The fact that they exist means they are useless trash. I was permanently turned off the thing when some years back, teenagers used to collect the things, and they were a malware vector. I cleaned many a machine that teenagers used, and after admonition to stick with one set of emoji they knew and could be trusted, they proptly went out a bollixed their machines up again.
I am 49, 5'6" and 200 pounds. Today I cycled 45 miles and spent over half an hour in heart zone 5. Further, I do that several times a week. Accorw=ding to my doctor, other than the weight, my numbers are great.
>On the other have to add physical exercise to your already loaded work / family routine, in addition to having to deprive yourself of delicious food
Ack! Noo! you said the D word! Glad to see you stepped back from that abyss. When I was a child, My family were proto-foodies before it was even a thing. Fresh food direct from the farm when at all possible, Lettuce from the garden so fresh and tasty, you could enjoy it with only a bit of vinegar, a dash of oil and some satl and fresh ground pepper. Sometimes with fiddlehead ferns on top. Charcuterie made with real meats - nothing like a smoked sausage made from prime pork butt and not floor sweepings. Venison bologna that could turn Bambi into a cannibal. Fresh veggies canned or frozen at their peak. My better half just made Black Raspberry jam from berries I picked on Tuesday. We ate some today on fresh baked Sourdough bread. Whoa! Next week I'll be starting a double batch of homemade smoked bacon, half my regular dry rubbed brown sugar cure, and the other with Chipotle peppers added to the dry rub. Cut thick and fried, and you have heaven on a plate.
Oops - sorry - I just figured out I'm doing food pr0n here.

Really? Weird.
Well, which of the 50 genders are you? I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body.
You're talking about the wrong hostages.

Fellas?

Adultry? Is that like infantry, but older?
Infantry tends to kill adultry.
Anyhow - oops! Weird, but my spell checker doesn't catch that one.
Totally agree! My girlfriends all are totally turned off by aluminum raincoats.
Replace the batteries?
So aluminum is the culprit then? I've heard that but not convinced enough by the evidence to quit buying reynold's wrap.
Yeah, that AL= Alumina plaque thing was kind of like a folk merdicine cause,
