I'm sure all the east germans that died because they were trying to escape, will be happy to know that the STASI, along with the russians weren't either genocidal, or maniacs.
Food prices are going up, but there is still a glut of food. The reason why food prices are going up is because the cost of transporting, and processing it along with fuel based fertilizers are more expensive. There is ways around that too. The cost of food compared to oh 150 years ago is cheap, the cost 200 years ago is amazing, and compared to 700 years ago is the same as giving it away.
Remember. That it wasn't all that long ago, that salting your enemies fields was enough to starve a population to death.
Actually that's pretty much what it says. Most of what the article states is ignored by technology and the improvements in technology. There is *finite* amount of space on the surface of the planet. But our asses will be off this rock before it becomes an issue. Energy? No shortage. Food? We can still easily support another 2 billion and keep the world fed(remember that there's a glut of food world wide, unless you're in a dirt poor nation). Raw materials? Depends what type, and even then most can be recycled.
And that's not even touching on other materials for creating crap.
Wait it is? Well I guess it is now. Back when I was a kid, yeah all of about 2 decades ago. Teachers being friends with students was not only common but encouraged(at least in Canada, though not anymore). Hell and you go back 4 decades ago, teachers would be friends with the parents of kids, and the kids, and even swing by the kids house to help them out if need be.
I guess there's something about irrational fear that makes me wonder what the fuck is going on. Well I suppose there's a good enough reason as to why school these days seems like a mill instead of a place where you learn, and enjoy yourself.
Plenty of tinkerers did just that back oh 40, 50, 60 and 70 years ago. While driving ingenuity of the country. I mean come on, we had people making TNT from nitro in their backyard. Oh well, I suppose there's a reason why there's a shortage of inventors outside of multi-nationals these days.
There was such. Remember when you were a kid and then a bit older? Well maybe you don't but I do. If someone insulted you, you insulted them back. If someone bullied you, you punched them in the face. If someone mocked someone you liked, you heckled them and didn't fear being thrown to the lawyers and court?
Yeah. So these days, if you insult someone you're likely to get drawn up on 'human rights' charges. If you hit a bully, you're going off to anger management courses, maybe being charged with assault, or thrown out of school. And if you try to heckle someone back, they're likely to slash your tires and light your car on fire.
Yes, it is. Because environmentalists, nimby's and environmental groups like greenpeace have been against new reactors. Leaving old ones to be running bast their lifetime. The US has a anti-nuke hysteria. This has been fed heaps of ignorance since the 60's, by the environmental groups.
Pretending otherwise is just being ignorant of the history of environmental groups.
Wind and solar are neither cheap nor inexpensive. On average the price per-resell to offset the cost of both are in the 60-90c/kwh range, where the nominal market price is in the 0.04-0.10c/kwh. Nuclear is just fine, it's safe. What isn't safe are reactors that are pushing 20 years past their design lifetime thanks to environmentalists and their anti-nuke agenda. And refusing to upgrade to newer and safer plant designs.
It's funny, that core bits of wisdom can be found in works that are over 400 years old. But you're right. There's probably a good reason why modern environmentalists are called watermelons.
Holy fuck no. I mean, I realize you Americans are scared of shit of plutonium thanks to your rabid environmentalists, and carter. But hey, if you want to cut your nuclear fuel supplies in half. Please keep sending your waste to Canada, S.Korea and Japan so we can have cheap, inexpensive fuel. I mean we all really like it.
Or you can grow a fucking pair and jump all over the environmentalists and nimby's for being fucking idiots.
Well assholes will be assholes, even if you use their real name. So it really doesn't matter. Just play some SC2 sometime, and you'll know exactly what I mean.
Yeah I mean 3D type crap. It's not like we weren't there 120 years ago either, and people said "fuck this" or words to that effect. In a cycle that repeats every oh 10-20 years or so.
And if I go out to my machine shop, and eyeball a cut to 1/64", and say "it's good enough" and use it to seal a high pressure valve loop, I can tell you right now that "close enough, and cleaned" doesn't cut it anymore in machining as it does in mathematics.
Sadly all you need to do is go back and look at the journals and articles of the 70's. And you will find exactly the same hysteria, and use of 'consensus' including the top scientists of the time agreeing that it was the greatest catastrophe that mankind will ever face. If your public library, or university doesn't have these documents(including news articles, and publications, and opinions by the flappy head of the day) in paper. You can ask for them in microfiche. I know, such an archaic form of media transfer and storage, but if you've never used it...it'll be a great learning experience too.

No. I'm making a point. Whether or not you can connect the dots is up to you.
Yes. And the soviets were peace loving socialists who didn't round up people and send them off to siberia because they refused to give up their cows.
I'm sure all the east germans that died because they were trying to escape, will be happy to know that the STASI, along with the russians weren't either genocidal, or maniacs.
Journalism is dead. Long live infotainment, and being a partisan hack.
If you know who's doing it, you could simply go to your local justice, or JP and have a restraining order filed. It takes about 30mins.
And it only took a box of sex toys? Amazing. Usually it takes the average person 2 or 3 stalkers.

I guess edison blew himself up too. Along with tesla. Tip: Both of them played around making TNT from nitro as ... children.

Yeah there was an age of sanity.

Pft. Neural connection? I use osmosis. I simply touch my head to my monitor and I feel everything, I KNOW EVERYTHING!
I'd have to go look on BN, but I seem to remember that Ubi's last 3 quarters were losses on all fronts except PC games. Which was slightly profitable.
Well assholes will be assholes, even if you use their real name. So it really doesn't matter. Just play some SC2 sometime, and you'll know exactly what I mean.
Yeah I mean 3D type crap. It's not like we weren't there 120 years ago either, and people said "fuck this" or words to that effect. In a cycle that repeats every oh 10-20 years or so.
I thought it meant you were being an ironic hipster.
I sure would. Then I'd retroactively bill the companies who got this order passed in the first place. They could take me to court over it, yet again.
Obviously since you refuse to buy it, you're just a filthy pirate.
Arrr. At least according to Ubisoft.
