As much as I hate to say it, I would say that the best response is to not come to the US for vacation. You can find the equivalent of pretty much anything you might want to see in another country without being treated like a felon from the most wanted list by the DHS and the TSA.
And maybe... just maybe... if the US loses 200 billion dollars a year in tourism income, our politicians will pull their heads out of their asses and start making some sane national security policies (but I wouldn't hold my breath).
They'll be let off because they didn't understand the value of money due to an advanced case of affluenza. Being allowed to spend $36 million a year for a decade will do that to you.
The bacteria in question is a strain of Bacillus Cerus. Some strains of Bacillus Cerus cause food poisoning, but others are used as a probiotic to reduce the incidence of salmonella in farm animals intestines. We already know that the intestinal biome of animals can have a serious affect on the animals' health, so the idea that this strain could be beneficial is completely plausible.
As far as this bacteria being an extremophile? Not so much. Baccilus Cerus undergoes sporulation when conditions are unfavorable. Spores are difficult to kill. Leaving behind spores when you die so that a new generation can arise when conditions are more favorable isn't the same as thriving in an extreme environment. If it was, humans would have to be classed as extremophiles too because we can freeze an embryo and implant it later.

Gee. How could I ever confuse those two totally different things?
Just like how the USA's no-fly list only contains the names of people who are too dangerous to allow on board airplanes, right? It's not like there could be a clerical error that takes years and multiple trials to get fixed due to nobody being willing to admit that they checked the wrong box on a form, after all.
I don't imagine that the so-called hoverboards are unique to the UK market, so I'm kind of wondering how come this hasn't cropped up elsewhere.
It has been happening in other places. There's an investigation under way from the CPSC in the US after a dozen or so reports of fires. You just haven't been paying attention to all the news stories.
1. Clarify why you want to be an astronaut. 2. Set realistic expectations. 3. Every decision counts. 4. Prepare your body and mind. 5. Work well with others. 6. Meet people and learn from them. 7.

If you substitute a different job title and a different company for NASA, it's obvious that it's just some self-help BS that you should already know if you're an adult. You might as well stand in front of a mirror and repeat "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggone it, people like me."
Oh teh noes! Girls were allowed to design Christmas tree lighting patterns last year. What a heinous act of revenge against men! Men have suffered terribly over the past year due to this horrible tragedy!
Except it wasn't girls only. The Made With Code website is part of an effort to introduce more girls to coding, but it's open to kids of all genders. There wasn't any filter that prevented boys from designing tree lighting patterns and submitting them.
The 'girls only' BS is due to a bunch of butt-hurt MRA idiots who started frothing at the mouth and screaming about discrimination against men the moment they heard that something was designed to appeal to girls instead of boys....much like someone screaming about discrimination based on a summary without actually taking the time to check and see if the summary was BS (because/. summaries are always fact checked, right?).

Actually, I do expect less. If sloppy writing and poor journalism are the only problems with a story on Slashdot, it's pretty much a win.

And cane toads
And pigs
And cats (okay, to be fair, they haven't necessarily lost this one yet, but feral cats are pretty goddamn good at surviving).
Australia: The world's favorite destination for invasive species.
They've managed to eliminate most of the radioactive deer, which is a shame because we were hoping someone would get bitten and become a superhero with the power to ... err... destroy gardens?

It's better than yet another livejournal post from Bennet Haselton.

The report boiled down to: overpriced, improperly accounted for, and failing to demonstrate value for money spent.
Sounds like my ex.
It works. I bought a used iPod years ago and didn't want to deal with iTunes. I've been using that plugin for years without any problems.

Found the mopey goth teen who can't get laid.
You might notice they haven't invited anyone from the aviation media to try it out.
"The team behind TF-X ... will see a two-foot version of its unmanned aircraft headed to the skies."
If you can find someone from the aviation media who can fit in a two-foot model of the vehicle, perhaps the company will let them try it out.
I particularly liked the part where the propeller blades fold up and it still continues to fly.

Funny and insightful. Funsightful +1
I think you need to adjust your dosage as well as having special socks that match your special helmet and drool cup.
When that happens, the officers will shoot the family dog, then shoot the home owner and then shoot each other for good measure.
Dallas Buyers Club LLC, however, is the company filing the lawsuit and it is entirely possible that they could have courted investors as described.
Did you think the movie had become sentient and started filing lawsuits on its own behalf?

Dude has a pretty good track record of going after crooks.

Yes, but firing them at people who haven't agreed to a game is not. Enjoy getting arrested and/or shot with real gun.
