I am extremely pedantic by nature, (my nickname IRL is "CorrectnessMan) so I fight the impulse constantly, on and off-line. Some times, in certain contexts, it may be helpful to point out an error. I like to think that I can tell the difference. I've certainly learned that it annoys people any time.
TFA mentioned evidence of a fire ring, which they conjectured might have been to discourage the hordes of hungry hungry crabs swarming the survivors at night. Maybe they lived to regret having survived the landing.
If they weren't gonadally driven toward government reduction, they could have a Department of Science to adjust their textbooks, &c. so that inconvenient "theories" could be properly deprecated in all policy decisions. Now they just have to wing it, as usual.
The Deal's been done, I'm just NIMBYing about running the pipe through my yard, when the Fraser Valley is already fucked, er, festooned with pipelines and shit. No one claims to have re-engineered the pipes to handle high-pressure asphalt, and fish still live in my river.
We finally got rid of our sheep. The depth and breadth of their stupidity is very trying. Guinea Pigs do a fabulous job on lawns, if you like the look of a well-kept putting green. And you can butcher them in a small kitchen. Just sayin'.
Looking at the projected outcomes of the climate modification program, I invested in land on the Skeena. (Clean, fresh water. I have no idea what you all are planning to drink.) The atoll drowners in China want to pipe pressurized asphalt through my yard so they can finish the job.
Spying on kids without probable cause and something resembling judicial oversight is just teaching them to expect the same behavior from law enforcement or other authorities once they become adults and make it out into the real world.
I have no reason to believe my friend was lying to me, nor am I so desperate to post on/. as to state anything that is not factual, or my actual opinion, as it may be. My friend is a psychiatrist, which is generally grounds to doubt one's veracity, but in her case she actually seems to be a reality-based-person. I'm guessing you eat boogers and lick dingle-balls.
My personal observation of Special Agents in the 70s led me to believe that they were completely unable to discern their remarkable image conformity. (e.g. undercover in the suburbs of Mecklenburg County, dressed like Ephram Zimbalist Jr. Whom are we trying to kid?) A friend later confirmed that when she did psych evaluations of Agent prospects, the only ones considered had to have a psychopathic ability to disassociate with their intended evil actions. The new ones appear to be going more for the Tim McVeigh look, befitting their continuing role in domestic terror.
TFA stated that the server would not be re-used. From my personal experience, I can't imagine those evil, lying bastards having the slightest inclination to return anyone's property without a court order from very high jurisdiction, or some tricky and expensive new hardware that their tech accomplices want to try out.
Best to wear safety goggles, even if you have those cool German plastic-covered screwdrivers, you still might short it out and send molten tool spattering about the room. Rubber gloves? sounds hazardous. Strangely enough, I've just returned from Bonanza in Oakland where I purchased the last of their Wera 1500v flathead screwdrivers for exactly that purpose. I have to change out about twenty outlets in my ex-wife's Apartment that she's selling soon, and I tend not to use the breakers for every job. (240v kinda hurtz so that's more likely to get my respect, or any time the wires get up above 10ga or so.)
I extend your clusterfuck of problems to include the fact that the mass of the people are, in fact, so stupid that even if they were informed by more than their standard dose of TV(hah!), they'd still make the WRONG decisions if given a choice.
I have several models for nationalizing the Federal Reserve, returning ownership of U.S. Currency to the citizens, &c. All I get are blank stares from the folks I've proposed them to. It seems that the concept of created reality is too abstract for most folks.
I've read Gatto's work before. Prior to that, I personally experienced Public Education, and I've observed the blow-back from the twelve or so years that my son has been forced to enjoy the benefits of the latest iteration of that system. Most people believe what they're supposed to.
I've said this before, and it's just the most egregious example that comes to mind, if you want get get outside the box go to presstv.ir. Laugh at the Persion version of inbred hillbilly Fox News.
People forget that "news" reporting is a requirement of the FCC
I'm pretty sure they were required to provide "service to the public", which was broadly interpreted to be covered by the "News". But I thought they repealed that requirement along with all the rest. The only thing the FCC regulates is titties.
After years of incompetent "protection" and/or "service", gratuitous bullying, and general thuggery, I can say the same about most "Law Enforcement" here. I understand its worse in most of the world, but you'd think progress would not be stalled quite in the Bronze Age.

I find it rather amusing to carry on a serious conversation with someone who is wearing such a bold item. Monty Python in real life.

I told Enbridge not to put their pipe through my yard, wish me luck.
I read /. uncensored for the trolls and such. Usually there's some larfs
Perhaps, not today.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Three minutes.
So, I'm not the only one whose first thought on reading the headline was that the research was done on folks who watched it on TV?

Beck's acolytes still make my heart sick. And they still miss him.
I can't differentiate Fox's Dumb Blondes, but I think they tried to make it so.

They've integrated it with major cutbacks in any education which might encourage (quel horreur) critical thinking, also.
How convenient.
Just put her through the screener again, for gawd's sake. Was this policy based on reasonable guidelines or engravings from Mount Sinai?
