""For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive - you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope.

There is a reason aircraft controls don't work like that. Next to good aircraft switchology, everything else is shit by comparison.
If you are rich enough to use it in furtherance of your hobbies, then by all means do so.
The problem is that schools SELL education and are not in the business of telling students that a particular major is a stupid choice if you want food, clothing, and shelter after graduation.
Once you have money, you have the power to pursue other interests. If you don't have money, you are, generally speaking, "fucked", and it's not out of line to remind potential education consumers of that.
MANY young people entering college have heads full of feathers and won't figure this out on their own.
The US isn't particularly dense, and even the crowded Northeast has large amounts of arable land which have been left fallow for generations. Google Earth is your friend. Even New Jersey is still the Garden State (just not the paved parts next to NYC and Philly).
Tearing down cities won't be necessary, that's absurd. Small farms and backyard plots were once the norm (old towns with very large rectangular back yards reflect this) and during WWII Victory Gardens were healthy and productive.
Remember that the figures below reflect a much stronger dollar and much smaller population:
"Pack conceived the idea that the supply of food could be greatly increased without the use of land and manpower already engaged in agriculture, and without the significant use of transportation facilities needed for the war effort. The campaign promoted the cultivation of available private and public lands, resulting in over five million gardens[2] and foodstuff production exceeding $1.2 billion by the end of the war.[3]"
There are TWO kinds of marriage, religious and civil. There is a LEGAL distinction between them.
That is not a matter of opinion, but legal reality.
You need a civil license for one, and (insert supersitious sanction of choice) for the other.
Superstitionists are defined by and ruled by their superstition, so there is no convincing them. HOWEVER, they should be exposed thoroughly so fewer recruits for their nonsense will be available!
Not all of us subscribe to your superstition or wish to be ruled by your witch doctors.
Marriage in a secular society is a civil union, not a superstitious rite. Gays want the benefit of civil union which is a CONTRACT they are sometimes restricted from entering.
I'm not gay, but I'm certainly anti-theist. You are all Taliban under the skin, and just as you would take over society and establish theocracy, I advocate resistance to superstition.
Expectations for CAPTAINS go with the fucking job and are hundreds of YEARS old.
Captain is a position of Command, with command responsibility. Not expecting strength of character is like "not expecting navigating skill" or "not expecting crew supervision".
Commonly used for pipeline repair, it can involve welding a pipe flange to a full, even pressurised line or container of flammable liquid or gas. The trick is not to blow through the wall. The product cools the container side of the weldment. A cutter head is attached then connected to your equipment of choice. Mechanical connection of hot tap flanges is also done.
It can even be done on BURNING railroad tank cars to offload product. WaPo link in this thread no workee but the others are good. Check the procedure in the.pdf

That's because Americans don't have a reason to care of a POTUS or Veep croaks.
For better or worse (I argue "better") most of us are smart enough not to care about whatever hack is currently infesting the Oval Office.

While the position that sharing sites exist for purposes other than "piracy", it's also most of their business like it or not.
Fight against corporate content. Do not want RIAA/MPAA products in the first place. You do not need them.
If no one put their shit on sharing sites, there would be no grounds to prosecute those sites!
"Your generalizations will lead to believers being the next group hunted. "

The US has a different reality with unlimited land. We can afford to abandon obsolete cities such as Detroit and just walk away.
We can afford to demolish inconvenient buildings, and customers don't need long-term durability in structures they are likely to sell off.
