The problem with keeping drugs illegal is that there are so many customers who want to buy drugs that you end up with a huge thriving black market in which the murderers, child porn, slavers etc can easily hide. It's a lot harder to catch the dangerous part of the black market when a large fraction of the country is using the black market for non-dangerous things.
If you buy a starting PC for $400 you will get about 2 years out of it $200 per year.
Where do you get this number? I've had my current PC for more than 2 years, and it cost ~$250 new. My previous PC lasted 6 years and cost ~$350 back around 2006 when PCs cost more.
Mini-PCs are a different animal though. People are buying them for the form factor and the lack of fan noise, not purely for price.
There's still no clean water in much of the world due to lack of environmental regulation/enforcement. Even in the USA there's tons of places with bad water, just not as bad as it could be. Want to bring back cholera?
kwin has been doing hardware-accelerated effects for a long time, since around the KDE 4.0 release I think. Although I don't game and can't say first hand how it affects steam, I haven't seen complaints about it.
This isn't Gnome, they aren't removing features on purpose. KDE just removes features by accident when they have to slowly port everything to a new frameworks/Qt/whatever that breaks compatibility.
Don't Christians believe that God raped Mary when she was around 12 or 13? A prophet acting as was normal for the people of his time is understandable, but an all-knowing immortal god doesn't have the ignorance and culture excuse.
Even many people who have kindles are still collecting dead tree books -- my dad for one. And while I sometimes read on my tablet, I'm currently reading a dead tree book I got for Christmas. And every time I go to the library, there are a lot of people there holding a lot of dead trees. Just because something has lost marketshare from a monopolistic starting point doesn't mean it's gone or disappearing. It's like saying nobody uses Microsoft Windows anymore.
There's one thing we can all be thankful for: unlike just about every other VP of a two term president, nobody's likely to nominate Biden to run for the presidency.
If you read the fine print on every purchase over a hundred thousand dollars you make in a day, and you're not insanely wealthy, you'll find plenty of time left.
If the answer is no life on Mars, then we send missions to moons that may have life. Is anyone at NASA really that invested in Mars over Europa for a mission 30 years down the road, to the point where they don't want to find out if Mars has life just so they can keep going there? Unlikely.
The poster wasn't suggesting abiogenesis though, he was suggesting that Earth and Mars have been exchanging life for billions of years. I don't know if that's the case, but it's certainly easier to investigate the likelihood of than abiogenesis.
Who needs to travel? Long distance communication is more than enough to reshape our views of ourselves, our worlds, and to exchange technologies worth untold trillions. Identify enough habitable planets in the sky, monitor and send transmissions, and eventually after trying many thousands you may find a civilization that's listening.
Your astronomical noon is not at actual noon, nor is midnight the middle of your night. In fact, the time of astronomical noon changes by a few minutes as you drive even short distances east or west. It would take centuries of of leap seconds to diverge from astronomical noon as much as driving to the next city does.
The Saudis couldn't care less about Russia, they just want to destroy Iran's economy. Iran is their neighbor and biggest rival / enemy by far, and is vulnerable due to sanctions and an oil-dependent economy.

Last i checked there were velociraptors in the past, but not now. so why should a simple field mouse that is blocking progress get special treatment?
That field mouse may be eating a lot of cockroaches which will end up in your bed when you eliminate mice.
If an ATM lets you interact with the desktop, that doesn't exactly sound secure.
have fun paying for all that with your Putin Pictures -- uh, I mean "rubles".
Does any Russian currency feature Putin on it? Not to my knowledge.
Unfortunately for your randomly invented theory, homo sapiens developed their brains in warm parts of Africa.
Perhaps it's difficult in Alaska. In California, permanent absentee voting is very simple and most people do it.

Because they'd be punished by dealers for it, and they can't go to pure direct sales all at once, especially not when some states disallow it.
A few ounces of ash isn't going to be replaced by a useful science instrument. If they sent up people's entire remains it'd be a different story.

There has to be a test range on land somewhere they can try putting one down instead of a pitching platform in the middle of the ocean.
Not when you launch eastward from Florida.
The alphabet according to Ubuntu: W H B D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
Messy at the start, but at least you know which recent versions were earlier or later.

before Spirit and Opportunity there was really only one successful science mission using a wheeled platform, which was a Soviet deal
You're forgetting the Mars Pathfinder mission. It was a very successful rover mission that paved the way for Spirit and Opportunity.

We will. I've noticed a lot of people are already back to entering years in two digits.
