  1. I read it and just assumed it was a York Pepperment Patty in the UK. Now that I Googled it, it looks more like finer chocolates like Toblerone in the US:

  2. Somehow, I don't think any of those things you mention would be fatal to the planet Earth. It would take a planet to "kill" the Earth.

  3. Hmm, I don't know what movie you are referring to (The Stargate TV series?), but this made me think, maybe he was looking for the pyramid from Alien vs Preditor so that he could find the cure for old age like the CEO of the Weyland corp.

  4. If that were to happen, who would launch weather sats, survaillance sats, and earth monitoring sats?

  5. I would say four incompetent and not popular figures...

  6. FYI, Pebble 2 that was Kickstarted was $99.

    I unfortunately lost my warranty on mine because Fitbit didn't take over the warranties of Pebble.

    As far as the HR monitor, it is useful when running to make sure you are above the fat burning level of heart rate, but don't go into VO2 max territory. It is useful for those of us that don't run on a regular basis, and don't know well enough what pace to run at as it gives a goal and range to shoot for.

    The fact that they can get by on donations should give you a hint about how insignificantly tiny they are compared to Reddit.

    Like Wikipedia? Yeah, they are insignificantly tiny because they survive on donations.

  8. That is what I was shooting for. Thank you.

    I can't look at my phone at the moment, but I thought at least in Android, there was an option in settings to disable the emergency alerts. If they bother people so much, just turn them off.

    Considering marijuana is a class A, perhaps munchies?

  11. http://www.politifact.com/trut...

    Obama actually had a position stating that he would not vote for the FISA amendments act until telecom immunity was removed. When the vote came before the Senate, he voted for it, and then changed his web site to remove that section. He flip flopped quite a bit on surveillance from the time of his campeign to when he took office.

  12. - downed and boarded the plane of the President of Boliva

    1. Downed means they shot the plane out of the air.
    2. Europeans did this, not the US.

    I don't know anything about your other accusations, but with how very off that one is, you have zero credibility with me.

  13. Because archive.org doesn't fall under European laws. .Org is US property, and the servers are located in the US, so they don't have to abide by European laws except in extreme circumstances.

    Surely you mean Bill Clinton and not Bush, as he was the one that signed the banking deregulation into law, and since that is what caused the crash, it should be attributed to his term (more to congress than the pres though, just like anything else).

    The three eye witnesses that recanted? Or the one whose testimony was proven to be false by the actual evidence? You must just hate those police officers to believe the lies you are spouting.

    So you are saying that the witnesses lied? The prosecutors proved out the lies of the witnesses against Wilson, but you know better than the justice system! Are you batman now, going to mete out vigilante justice because you KNOW what happened?

    So, if they can find a use for what would otherwise be waste products (that need to be treated like radioactive waste), it will reduce the costs of an operation that is happening anyways.

    Not sure how that makes the material somehow extremely rare or expensive though. I am sure the reactor management companies are very happy to be able to get rid of the waste.

    Exactly what law did Comey break? He received new evidence in an important case and looked into it as he is required. Would you rather the FBI ignore evidence in a possible multiple felony case?

  20. Colin Powell owned AOL? That is one hell of a private email server.

    (number 3 here: http://heavy.com/news/2016/08/... )

  21. FYI, in order to collect welfare, an ID is required.

    If he hasn't made it to court yet, he would be staying in jail, not prison.

    Prison is where people who have been convicted of a crime go.

    Technically, he does face capital punishment. Treason in times of war are considered hanging offences, and I believe there was a war going on when he committed his treason.
