Landfall isn't until Thursday. As long as you ship overnight, you should be fine. I'm ordering plywood for my windows and a couple of board games. Shame on people who didn't prepare for the hurricane by signing up for Prime.
Surely it'd be easier to tow it to either the nearest landmass and convert it to water there before shipping it on, or design something to convert it to water at sea and then use tankers to get the water from there to the destination?
I'm guessing that it's more practical to tow a floating iceberg than to operate a flotilla of tankers full of neutrally-buoyant water. I didn't RTFA, so I don't know how many ships are going to be used to tow the iceberg, but probably far fewer than it would take to contain it.
What's immoral about this? I understand the objections to mass surveillance, but what's wrong from analyzing the footage to find what you're looking for?
Yes! They're comparing the number of attempts to the total number of possibilities. "Reduces by 70%" is accurate only if you declare that entering the patterns at random "reduces by 50%".
If you can show me an equally effective way to get the pot off my breath, then I'm all ears and I'll happily give them up. But driving while your breath smells like pot is illegal and I'm convinced people can't smell the cannabis under the tobacco.
Why is a cow's life worth more than a cute bunny's?
Souls are distributed using a complicated algorithm that considers size, cuteness, flavor, and ability to act human. Humans get 1 full soul. Crickets get only a small fraction of a soul, making them fine to smash. Cows are much larger and cuter than crickets, but they're strongly penalized for being delicious and forfeit almost their entire soul. A bunny's life is actually worth MORE than a cow's based on cuteness and relative flavor. Dogs are a curious case in that American dogs have a larger portion of a soul than Korean dogs based on environment. It's not an entirely fair system, but it's what we've got.
Clearly we should be going for the least amount of deaths per human...
If homeopathy shit can be sold in stores (especially in the medicine section), then why shouldn't phone scams that rely on called ID spoofing be legal too? Frankly, if you're dumb enough to fall for this shit you ought to have your voting privileges revoked.
There are rules about what homeopathic shit can claim about their product. These phone scams are lies and threats. Many of the victims are elderly and not "dumb," just not savvy.
I didn't realize how conditioned I was to only eating meat that doesn't look like the thing that it came from.
Speak for yourself. When I go out for a steak I demand that they bring me the head of the cow it came from so that I can stare into its cold, dead eyes and remind it who runs this planet.
It is kinda like, for lack of a better comparison, slavery.
It's like changing your own oil. People who grow up around their parents doing oil changes see them as normal, and people who are insulated but benefit from it see it as too alien. In general, people who grow up with frequent contact with home oil changes do not mind them. For people for who only encounter them a few times, it is otherwise not a part of their world and they have trouble with it.
I can think of a couple of acceptable car analogies.
For pretty much all the meat in the supermarket, the alternative to slaughter is never being born. Not many pet cows. Maybe these animal lovers think nonexistence is preferable to the lives these animals are offered, but those are the current alternatives. Bred for food or not bred at all. Trying to improve these animals' conditions is noble.

(I don't know what he'll say, and it doesn't matter; we all know it will be far less than 98.5% correct)
As of this morning:
The GDP Rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years!
Not remotely correct.

You also have to decide what "at rest" means. A year accelerating at g will put you at your current velocity + c.
Flat Earth statistic: If gravity is caused by a flat earth accelerating at g, it'll reach c after about 1 year (~354 days).
Give the police the possibility to classify people by skin color, and they wil mistakenly believe it is an important factor.
If you're looking for a specific person, the skin color is very important.

Charles Ponzi ran into the same problem.
Sarah Howe had the same idea more than 40 years before Chuck Ponzi. Women innovators! Solidarity sister!

I wonder how good it is with distance? Can you map a room with it?
It's not remotely like The Dark Knight, but a little bit.
I stopped trusting Opera entirely when it was bought by the Chinese consortium "Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I Limited Partnership".
They're doing it to themselves and they know it.

He was fired. Out of a cannon.
Canonized?
Get yourself a criminal lawyer. No, a criminal lawyer.
Nothing says success like free on a Tuesday.
First let's focus on not re-electing them.
If you believe that you used to be Napoleon and you announce that, you're not a liar. You're just deluded.
I said the system wasn't fair. You're acting like I just made it up.
You must be a blast at parties.

They mostly just want to reduce animal suffering.
