Basketball, if played right. But inexperienced players are going to bump into each other a lot.
Cricket? Added advantage: No sore losers afterwards, as no-one will be able to figure out who won. The scoring system is the inspiration for Calvinball.
Need to borrow a hocky mask, though. Those balls are hard.
If a child falls over, and a man helps it up, there's a good chance the mother will be along ten seconds later to start accusing the man of abuse - and in such an event, the public perception is *always* the dirty old perv verses the innocent child and mother.
Not extreme regulation - we don't need population control in the developed world any more. Just a 'minimum standard.' Remember, there are legal standards for adoption - we don't just give children to people living in poverty, or people with recent violent crime convictions. Yet if those people manage to reproduce on their own, not only are they allowed to keep the child but they have a legal right to be the primary carer.
It's silly.
The license doesn't need to be hard to get - we don't have a population growth problem in the developed world any more. It just needs to set a few basic standards, similar to those for adoption but not as strict. A proven minimum income sufficient for the care and education of a child, those with recent convictions for violent or sexual crime excluded.
IQ is fiddley. The average is supposed to be 100, by definition, exactly. But try testing a population and actually hitting that. There's always a slight bias, or a difference from when the test was calibrated.
Jellyfish do have a very minimalistic nervous system. It's simple, but it's there. Visible in some species as a ring around the bell, near the edge. Just enough to handle the only two things a jellyfish needs to do: Swim straight (It makes sure the bell contracts in sync, not one side before the other) and handle the task of transferring food from tentacles to stomach.
The project was a near-impossible one. Rushed deadlines, a constantly changing specification. Plus he has a lot of government connections - he's worth hiring, though he may end up taking a pay cut.
The whole world is aware. We all follow US politics. It's just so entertaining - like professional wrestling, but with slightly less violence. Our own politicians are mostly all very sensible and boring, nowhere near so much fun to watch.
HIV is bloody good at developing antiviral resistance though. It adapts so fast that individual patients need to swap drugs after a few years. That's all the time the virus needs to adapt.
Not even just Apple. The Android store lets you see in finer detail exactly what each app needs permissions for in order to run. Go download 'Free Jungle Race Birds Game' or whatever is in fashion right now and look at them - half those games require access to your phone contacts.
The problem we face now is that there are a sizeable number of people in the US who are so absolutely devoted to market principles, they are blind to those weaknesses - and see any effort to address them as an invitation to a communist takeover.
The 'invisible hand' concept isn't so much about the private ownership of resources, it's about the self-correcting property of markets. If there is a demand for widgets, the price goes up, causing more people to invest in their manufacture, bringing the price back down. All without any central management, just emergent behavior. Private ownership helps, but it isn't essential.
It's not as impressive as it sounds. The title is heretitary, so it basically means 'My ancestors were filthy stinking rich, and I probably am too.'
When we want to grant someone a title of respect, they get the 'Sir' before their name, not Lord. You have to earn that one personally, not just get born into it.
Yep. Entrapment by police and entrapment by well-intentioned vigilante investigators are completely different things. Though if they have done their research, they'll know the importance of never leading the suspect on or enticing them to any action.

Not a bad idea. How about seeding the internet with lots of legitimate-looking email addresses to cause spammers to waste time and resources?
They are built like tanks. You should need a welding torch to damage one. Yet still, they are constantly being destroyed and replaced.

Men are afraid of children. And with good reason.
If a child falls over, and a man helps it up, there's a good chance the mother will be along ten seconds later to start accusing the man of abuse - and in such an event, the public perception is *always* the dirty old perv verses the innocent child and mother.
I'm all for regulation.

Also depends if you consider an entire city as one object. Plenty of those are visible.
Other jellyfish, I assume.

You actually found one I've not seen before - first time I've seen 'conturd.' I usually see CON-servative or rethuglican.
Viruses don't need antibiotic resistance.

That's called 'externalising the costs,' or 'the invisible middle finger.'

If chess can grow media-worthy enough to sap a bit of money from The Cult of the Hand-Egg, I'd consider that a very good thing.

Because if Adobe had no way of decrypting the passwords, they wouldn't be able to provide them to the NSA.
Link to the channel, describe your plans, and get a cost estimate.
Just make sure you use *real* helium, not that cheap balloon stuff diluted with air.
There's one clear way to settle this.
Someone is going to have to set up an experiment.
