Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees (full circle as it were, leave some room for nostalgia) and walk in a direction (possibly 360 degrees from whence you came) and away to the circle jerk (have a 360 degree potato, if that's what you want).
Your cat probably has a higher chance of getting hit by a car than a coyote killing it, so what difference does it even make? Cat dies? Get another, there's a shitload of them.

I dunno if you're trolling, but I'll bite...
ASS, whole lotta ASS all up in your cunt. Fuckin up all that shit and cuntfuckin yourself fist first in the ass. YOUR SHIT IS IN YOUR ASS COMING OUT OF YOUR CUNT! Lol your shitass is cuntwiping all over the place, you shitty assfucker. What in the fuck is with your cuntface asslicker dickfucker brainstem? Is that why all the shit is coming from your cunt?

Thanks armchair electrical grid expert. I guess we should all trust you, and not the researchers who actually try to find out the limitations of our various systems. If you bothered to do some simple googling, you would find that the vast majority of the transformers used to distribute power on the grid have a certain ground current tolerance, and as such, if a ground current is produced above this tolerance the transformer breaks in a very expensive way. About a century ago, right when the telegraph was pretty new, there was a solar storm that caused shocks to telegraph operators because the ground current was so high. Just as the article suggests, it is likely we will have a similar event soon and it will probably wipe out a lot of transformers, leaving most of us without power for many months.
So what if I come in to your house and shoot you in the face? Who cares? So what? There are winners and there are losers, maybe with you out of this world some starving chinese kid won't starve today! Just trying to serve you with an example of your own ridiculous logic.
I fail to see how this is any different from any other climate change in the four billion year history of everything on Earth.
Oh my, I do love this one. So, I guess you would be perfectly alright with living in the conditions our Earth had in it's first billion years of existence. Nothin wrong with having no oxygen and living on a molten rock. The point is to live in a comfortable habitat, global warming makes that a lot harder.
The real difference between file "sharing" and lending books seems to be that shared media (e.g., music, video) files) tend to get copied and passed around--they never are returned
Books contain information and if you borrowed a book from a library and read it you have successfully copied information into your brain. The difference you point out ignores the fact that when you return a library book you do not return your brain to the state it was in before having read that book. In fact, you could copy the information in that book to other people's brains through any means of communication.
The team asked 379 adults -- half of them non/low caffeine consumers and the other half medium/high caffeine consumers -- to give up caffeine for 16 hours, and then gave them either caffeine or a dummy pill known as a placebo.
Participants rated their levels of anxiety, alertness and headache. The medium/high caffeine consumers who got the placebo reported a decrease in alertness and increased headache, neither of which were reported by those who received caffeine.
But measurements showed that their post-caffeine levels of alertness were actually no higher than the non/low consumers who received a placebo, suggesting caffeine only brings coffee drinkers back up to "normal."
The part I emphasized implies a separate test for alertness rather than relying on a participant's self evaluation. So yes, even though the article didn't say how they tested the alertness, my guess is that they did.
Let me give you a hypothetical. Say you are taught arithmetic and then are given the problem "What is 15+3?" If you respond "-4" you will be labeled as crazy or delusional. However, you might have responded incorrectly merely from misinformation, in which case I wouldn't consider you crazy or delusional, just misinformed. There is a ridiculous amount of misinformation out there about AGW, it is extremely obvious why if you think about it for a few seconds. There is a gigantic industry that delivers our energy demands but at the cost of dumping CO2 into our atmosphere. They don't want to spend money dealing with the consequences their industry has on the environment. They don't mind spending a much smaller amount of money spreading lies to counter climatologists' claims. It is fairly amusing that you sit at your computer, drive your car, watch tv, use your phone, all thanks to the bright light of science but you reject the overwhelming majority of scientists who say that AGW is a serious problem. People who have been studying the climate for decades you are willing to dismiss.
It's such a simple problem that yes, you must be deluded or crazy if you "checked the numbers" and concluded AGW is wrong. However, we have no idea what exactly you did when you "checked the numbers" so I can't really say if you are crazy or not. If all the numbers you checked lead you to doubt AGW, then I suspect you were looking at some misinformation. "CO2 is a greenhouse gas" is a testable hypothesis that you can prove through experimentation by yourself. Once that is known it becomes pretty obvious that there should be some concern about the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
I doubt it dude, neurons aren't that crazy. You can simulate neurons with some transistors (I don't really know how many it takes, maybe a decent simulation only takes a few hundred, or maybe it's more like a few million). At any rate, don't just assume there's entanglement involved because our brains seem complex. The complexity is most likely due to sheer quantity of neurons.
as if this guy (or anyone) knows how neurons actually behave in the brain
Speak for yourself, troll. Models don't have to be perfect to be useful. Ptolemy's model could predict solar eclipses with very good accuracy. People have been studying and modeling neurons for decades now, they are definitely getting better at it.
Paying $2/number is not cheap. I would pay $1 for a number as long as it is bad number free. IF you try to sell me numbers i don't want, forget it! I would pay $.50-$.75 for numbers, but again, only for a bad number free version.
The purchased number would also have to be bad number free.
I really don't care how anyone "created" the digital information (AKA NUMBERS) that they are trying to sell. I don't care how much it cost them. The fact is, they are trying to sell a number and it is their own fault if they spent a lot of money "creating" that number. Numbers are free breh.
Yea, I would love to see Apple "unblock" Flash for one day, and tally all the "my iPhone browses the internet slower than ever" complaints. I'm confident that the number wouldn't be negligible. Sometimes a few Flash ads on one page will max out one of my CPUs.
Source code is digital information. Digital information is fundamentally just a number. When run through a compiler, source code becomes a product. The product is also digital information. In other words, source code is a number that represents the product before some arbitrary math has been applied to it. In fact, source code is written with a compiler in mind, so source and product are mathematically equivalent. I find it amusing that people think they should obey laws that say they can't put certain numbers in their computer unless they paid for them.

It's pretty amazing that people don't edit a sentence of five words to make sure it's right.

They forage for food, a process that takes time and energy, thus it isn't free.
Subsidies are a form of tax, don't believe anyone who says otherwise.
