Think this through? Many people opposed to gun control seem perfectly fine with using laws to control other 'concerns', like gay marriage, abortion, drugs, etc, etc, etc.. So do laws work, or don't they?
People will find ways to get abortions if they're illegal, so why make these laws?
People are going to find drugs if they're illegal, so why make these laws?
Drug enforcement officials have been caught violating the rules. Republican lawmakers have been found pushing their girlfriends or whatever to get abortions.
There's going to be issues, of course. But you know what's going to make a difference? Less guns = less gun deaths. Go have another swig of your NRA kool-aid, they're literally the biggest terrorist organization in the US, given how much violence they've enabled, and refuse to take steps to prevent.
Just curious what sort of pollution or fallout we can expect if the rocket carrying this into space (or the rocket itself, if it's going up itself) has a catastrophic incident? Is the nuclear fuel in one of these things going to make a big mess as it spreads through the atmosphere and falls into the ocean?
Phone encryption is the problem here, not how easy it is for any lunatic to get a gun in the US. Sounds like just another distraction from the real issue.
You know, I used to be with you on this. I'm also an opponent to superstition, but I've grown to actually really like cemeteries - they make great neighbours!
I think it's dumb to bury bodies, but the cemetery a block from me here in Victoria, BC, is actually a really beautiful spot with lots of big trees, and interesting old tombstones (dating back into the 1800's.) IMO it's a very valuable greenspace, and probably will remain that way for a very long time. (Look up the Ross Bay Cemetery.)
Overall I'd prefer a park, but this is very nearly that..but with many less people.;)
When I lived in Vancouver for a few years, I was also near a cemetery, and really appreciated it for walks, runs, etc.. The rest of my area was houses and busy streets. It was nice to be able to avoid a lot of that and 'get away' a bit just a few blocks away.
Again, parks would be preferred, but I've come to appreciate the greenspace (at least the one here. I know other cemeteries are much more 'sterile', coming off more as a golf course than anything..bleh..)
It's not really that simple..and I bet someone training there would do much worse than with 'normal' gravity.
There are three key parts to exemplary performance when training: specificity, specificity, specificity.
It would take a long time to adapt to such an environment, all movement would be different, and probably muscles engaged in a different way. Let's look at a sport like shot put - you'd think 'oh, they'll get used to resisting more force', but not really, they'd just get better at shot put in higher gravity (not necessarily here, due to different adaptations). And don't forget: it'd still be relative. You can only 'improve' so much, and a lot of the time spent there would be adapting to the environment, not improving at shot put. And those adaptations may not apply in Earth gravity.
If you're throwing shot put on Earth, you'll want to train in those confines, and train to adapt to the exact forces required to throw a shot put further there.....not if we were on a planet with stronger gravity.
IG is the most craptacular app; a terrible interface, it butchers photos, is really pointless for social interaction (yet called 'social media') and is a great demonstration of how _not_ to build an app...they have all that money to actually do development, yet there it is looking like some teen assembled it. What a world..
Err - where did you see the UN retract their report? Their report, Livestock's Long Shadow is still totally relevant and hasn't been "retracted": http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/...
And did you even look at the article? The big chart clearly shows that in the US methane from cows is the second biggest source (25%) after natural gas and petroleum (31%). (And since when is Popular Science 'anti-meat'?)
It's literally right there in the article, yet you're spouting this nonsense..come on.
"Cows emit a LOT of methane, so we need to stop eating them."
(Rationale that it's not that bad, there are bigger sources of methane, etc, etc..)
"Cows emit a LOT of methane, so we need to genetically engineer them."
(Agreement methane from cows is a problem, we can change the cows, which all funnels into something that makes a lot more money, unlike people eating fewer or no cow products.)
Given that about half the arable land in the US is already devoted to livestock and the crops that feed them, and that corn and soy pack a LOT more calories than grass, how much more land are you willing to give up to grow grass to feed livestock? (And what will the damage of that be? Even more forests cut down to grow grass for cows?) I think this war is lost, and people just need to eat less (or no) animal products.
Yet one more example why Instagram is the most over-rated piece of crap app out there..ugh..I have no idea how this garbage became so popular, it's an abysmal platform from nearly any perspective.
It's yet to be determined this will actually be better for the environment, etc..so still a lot of questions. Personally, I think the best use (if proven safe) will be for pets and wildlife rehab centers, sparring them from harming other animals. =)
I faded out of recording just as USB controllers were taking off, so I'm not all that familiar, but do these controllers also interface with all the plugins? If you have a compressor or reverb plugin running, can you twist a knob on your controller, and it'll automatically twist the attack knob?
I see how it's fine for the 'mainboard' of your recording software, which does look like a mixer, but I think the poster is referring to all the extra bits: VST instruments, etc.. I had the original Halion VST instrument, how well does it line up with a controller board? My MIDI keyboard at the time was only useful for the keys, the knobs had no effect and I'd have to make adjustments via mouse and plugin.
Hopefully that's all been resolved, but if not it could be a headache, and can agree that a better interface ought to be developed..! A nuclear reactor used to have a bunch of knobs, etc.. Is that what they emulate in nuclear reactor software - is it basically a photo of a old nuclear reactor panel that you manipulate with your mouse?
Actually, vegan is about not exploiting animals, the term was coined in 1944 with the definition:
"Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose."
Far as I've seen, they haven't addressed the lab-grown meat issue; if it's grown in bovine serum (as is often the case so far), then it wouldn't be considered vegan. If they somehow manage to eliminate all animal sources, then it could in theory be considered vegan. I'm not interested in eating it however..
Not sure if this has been fixed for Strava yet, but ever since upgrading to 7 if it's running while 'battery save' mode is on, it doesn't work and the GPS is shut off (unless the screen is on.) Wonder if this is one of these 'features' in effect..? Would like to see an option where I can exclude apps from battery saver mode..
(Strava is a popular free app that tracks cycling, running, etc.. Usually you just turn it on, and do your activity, save it when finished, track your total distance, etc.)
Again - who in the US or Canada or any developed country, that's eating enough calories, is suffering from a protein or amino acid deficiency? You're citing a non-existent problem. You may as well claim that vegans are also more likely to be abducted by aliens.
Phytic acid is actually a good thing for us, but if you did your research you'd know that a small amount of cooking, or inclusion of foods with Vitamin C (like nearly any fruit or vegetable) counteracts much of the impact of it, and you're actually ahead of the game nutritionally. Not sure who's eating raw legumes and beans, but they deserve to get sick. (Sprouting also breaks down the phytic acid.)
"Corrected for that, a veg*an who exercises as little and drinks as much as the average individual gets diabetes more often."
Would love to see your source for that.. I suspect the opposite is true if you actually do some research. Like this: "We hypothesized that more exclusively vegetarian diets, e.g., vegan, lacto-ovo, or pesco-vegetarian, are associated with lower prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes compared with semi- or nonvegetarian diets." (And yes, adjustments were made for "for age, sex, ethnicity, education, income, physical activity, television watching, sleep habits, alcohol use, and BMI".)
I suspect they're relying on people getting on board and not using the service.. You'd be surprised how many services do well with non-participating members. Think gym memberships.;)
There actually is B12 in some plants and plant-based food, and if sanitation were eliminated, it'd be 'on' plants even more-so, but I'll stick with a supplement. Have you even had a B12 test? You might need a supplement too.;)
As already mentioned, there is no appreciable amount of D3 in a steak. Please, if only for your own health, educate yourself. If you're relying on steak for Vitamin D, you're going to make yourself sick.
Lysine is plentiful in legumes as well. You apparently have access to Google, can you please try and use it before posting this easily refuted nonsense?
Few people are eating particular foods for DHA (which again is unnecessary to eat for most people to consume), but if they did, fish oil is a common supplement, and just as reliable is algal oil, without risk of heavy metals, etc... Why expose yourself to bio-accumulation?
"People following a lazy diet risk serious deficiencies." - I fixed that sentence for you. ANYONE eating poorly risks serious deficiencies. There is nothing inherently dangerous about a vegan diet.

Sorry, you're way off in the fringe, got nothing more add.
I sure hope so! Kinda scary there's zero discussion on this..

You're just looking at it the wrong way!
You know it's gonna happen..

That's my impression anyway...
Yes, we've had fake ads and other false statements since print began..
I think the better question is: is lying still considered free speech in America?
I believe it's a resolute 'yes' unless someone can sue another successfully, then it stops.
So you can say whatever you want until it's decided what you're saying isn't allowed.
