Only you are calling them "alternative energy", most people call it renewable energy.
Okay then, define "renewable energy" for me and then tell me how nuclear power does not fit that definition.
Nuclear power isn't renewable because the fuel is spent, it cannot be renewed. The clue is in the name. It's not a fossil fuel either. Even if your claim that there will still be plenty left when we're done was true it is irrelevant to the question.
I was watching a video on youtube the other day with some guy trying to address it, because hand drawing that stuff takes stupid amounts of time. Basically he 3d modelled this ship, animated it and exported it as lines and coloured and animated over the top. It did actually look pretty good at the end.
This is done with Deep Learning. If the source material used to train the neural network has the "x factor" and does not look clean - so should the output result.
By its own operation it's going to smooth everything out when it's trying to make an amalgamation of all its source material. It'll probably look good sure but will be missing something.
Once you start to get 3d assets and computerised stuff in anime it loses that look which gives it that x factor. It's too clean and looks wrong. IMO at least.
Music won't go away if the industry dies. Kill the labels, keep the artists. Forget this whole pay a little bit and get everything subscription crap because you're just paying lots and lots of middle men so the artists die and the labels remain.
If we keep going at this rate the top ten will just be the ten.
Hollywood accounting is straight up fraud, nothing to do with copyright. Except when they sell the copyright to themselves at massive cost then rent it back from themselves for even more to hide a bunch of money from the net profit but that's by the by.
Copyright is rent-seeking and harms society as a whole. It should not exist at all.
hmmmm, I dunno about that. It is overused and massively abused and in it's current state does more harm than good but there is ultimately a reason for it, in theory at least.
Should add - I'm in the UK and use LightwaveRF kit. Works well, but pure on/off is more complex and requires various relay installs etc.. I'd like a simple switch unit that is pure binary on/off, not dimmer. The reasons are as above - automation of things that do not accept dimming bulbs,
Ah, sounds like what you want is a light switch. Easy to use too, just walk up to it and touch it and the light will change to state it's not currently in. Brilliant technology and cheap to boot.
1) The way that our communications are structured in the 21st century, being banned from Twitter is like being kicked out of the "Taco Bell® Public Square". You are being banned from communicating with the public on the same level of people who don't violate wrong-speak and can stay on the platform.
But there is zero need or real reason to be on twitter (or facebook, snapchat or whatever else) and being banned from it doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Twitter isn't going to last forever, it is and always has been a private entity and a private space, unless you'd like the government to run it and have it funded with taxpayer money. The barriers to entry are just extremely low.
"Anti-vaxxers" (presumably meaning people who are concerned that some vaccinations may cause harm) are rather different, as there may well be evidence supporting their position. Moreover, there is a lot of complexity in the issue: which vaccination exactly (or what combination), given to whom under what circumstances?
In America, the bastion of freedom, you criticize speech? Even China is freer than that. Chinese think nothing of what they say, who they say it to, or where they say it. Far more free than America in so many ways.
The same China that is rating citizens on their individual behaviour including what they say and who they say it to? That free China?
You say that like separating cars and pedestrians is a bad thing and it's absolutely on the pedestrian not to get himself run over rather than the driver not to run you down. In the road that is.

Not unless a computer does the story, characters or voice acting. I'm only talking aesthetics here.
That's true but the same could be said of most things lol

South Parks anime rip looked pretty good.
Yeah but it didn't look like Akira.

You try to go to the pirate bay, it's blocked. You go to google and type pirate bay proxy and you're back in business. It's a token effort at best.

Umm... That would be a $9.90 fine. You're asking for 1000 times at $990.
You need to check your numbers. That would only be 10 times on one track. He said a ten times on a hundred tracks so .99 x 10 x 100 and that makes 990.

Not only is it it overpriced it's just another fad.
Here's another fact. Canada and Europe are second choices for migrants. They only go there if they can't make it to the US.
Other way around mate.

I thought only the Oxford English Dictionary could pick the "Word of the Year"...
Literally anyone can pick a word of the year. Oblong. There you go.
Talk about nickle and diming.
A service that will send someone you eat the food for you then come back and regurgitate it so you don't have to move off your lazy ass ever.
Maybe pissing off the iCrowd will be the last straw.
This is the government that enslaved million of black Africans for profit.
As much of a dick Trump is you have to separate government from country, you can't really lay that one on him.
