Communists, "gun violence", video games, SARS, terrorists, jesus fucking christ. I can't believe people are actually stupid enough to fall into line for the scare of the day anymore.
Average price is a damn poor way to measure affordability. Today you can buy four brands of car new and with much higher safety and quality than those that used to exist anywhere for $12,000 or less. After inflation that's just about spot on.
Or you can buy a used car for $1999 (a quarter the 1977 price after inflation) and have it last twice as long for the same maintenance and still have much better quality and safety.
>it's a post-privacy society, get over it.
No it's not, no I won't, and fuck you.
I don't use facebook, twitter, or anything else. That others do doesn't mean I'm willing to give up my privacy like they do. It gives me comfort to know that a court order is generally needed for the government to get my email. I'm happy knowing that Google employees aren't allowed to read my email. And I'm aware of the Chinese wall at Google separating automated scanning for ads from anything requiring a human.
If these things change I'll be closing my gmail account and damn the consequences. So no. It's not a post privacy world for those who opt out.
That "circus magic" showed enough intelligence to parse natural language. I understand you want to believe there's something special about a brain but there really isn't. The laws of physics are universal and apply equally to your brain, a computer, and a rock.
You should know after all science has created that "we don't know" doesn't mean "it's impossible" nor does it mean "this isn't the right method"
Straw men, straw men everywhere. Not to mention hyperbole, ad hominem, argument from ignorance, proof by verbosity, shifting the burden of proof... I could go on and on. but I won't bother. I just said this so anyone reading your post would stop and think a minute.
The problem with the collusion claim is that, if some are greedy enough to collude with others to keep prices high, some will be greedy enough to break the collusion agreement or not collude at all in order to undercut those still in collusion and reap the profits.
And that's why the US didn't have a coal trust, a steel trust, a sugar trust, a cotton trust, and a tobacco trust and the Sherman Antitrust act was actually completely unneeded.
So it's his fault when the police abuse their authority? Whether what he did is wise or not such an action is absolutely unacceptable and a regime that allows it is likewise unacceptable.
This+3-D printers = a little more power to the people. Also doubling of manpower for sniper teams that want to take risks (no spotter needed)
The great part of a sniper's work after he's in position and hidden is essentially calculus. The vector analysis that takes into account all these things and spits out windage and elevation. That and steady hands are all that's needed to place a shot with all the accuracy of which a rifle is capable.
Countering this trend toward more effective less educated sniper teams are a myriad of new technologies that a well funded country/group can/will soon be able to afford. These include vehicles (and bribes) that allow fast and silent insertion and egress, visible/ir/radio scattering camouflage, and other cute little bits of technology that allow better silence, tactics, information, and weapons.
I'm still not getting the definition of "temperature" here. As I read this it says "some matter in some states will get colder without giving it energy." How does this not go directly against the laws of physics by reversing entropy?
Well they don't have to, It would be almost effortless to simply start describing the drywall (and all other building materials) in metric terms using precisely the same sizes. Then when new designs are made people will naturally use whole numbers in metric sizes.

So your buddy Joe lets you borrow his car whenever you want. He has a GPS and his car is so efficient he actually makes money by selling the GPS data on which stores you went to. One day he tells you, "If you want to keep using my car you have to let me take pictures from any angle of you or your stuff at any time you're in the car and sell them".
He regularly sends you long, long boring letters that you both know you don't read and this stipulation is hidden inside one of them.
There's no reason to think water would be that limited on Mars. How hard can it be to melt some rock into the form of a holding tank, set up solar panels, and melt ice?

Wait, a cruise ship with classes and lectures?? What is this magical cruise line?
>Just fill out the paperwork, and get on with life. Don't upset the pencil pushers. They're goons with badges and guns.
This way lies fascism.
"Not a pound for the ground" worked very well for the F-15. If the F-22 is needed for air superiority those choices will be proven well made.

When the defense was "everyone should know the story is bogus" calling Musk a bullshitter is pretty well preposterous.

So your argument is, they act guilty therefore they're guilty? There's no evidence here and any presumption of guilt is wrong.
I'll just leave this here.
If this happens it will strike a hard blow to the control over money the US government has been trying so hard to achieve.

"open up the internet" is something they will listen to. "stop being isolationist" isn't. The best advice, ignored, is just noise.
If there should ever be a limit to FOIA this is it. The leaks tell every scum in New York where to steal a weapon.
But you bring up an excellent point.

Now crawl back under your bridge.
Strongly disagree. There are many people emotionally invested in accepting death but a cure to aging can't come soon enough.

My point? None really, just a few thoughts.

Give up a little precision and rigor for ease of understanding you snob.

Read it again, I said wikimedia not wikipedia. Wikimedia is a great place to get public domain media.
