Amtrak can actually be fun. When is the last time you had steak and an observation car on an airplane?
I'd rather have the speed and the ability to reach small cities, but not at the cost of being treated like a convict, or of giving my consent to citizens being treated like convicts.
The biggest richest EU countries have some flavor of public health care (different in all of them, of course). They have universities and scientists: the US isn't the only place capable of inventing drugs and cures.
Do they have single-dose medicines or curative therapies that the US doesn't?
Taking a step even further back to look at things beyond the state's control, why do we take for granted that "clicking on a malicious email link" is enough to transfer control of your computer to an attacker?
Zooming back in on SC, would encryption have even helped? The compromised credentials allowed for viewing the databases(*). That means they were also able to decrypt them
(*) Which invites the question of whether those permissions were too widely issued.
Conservatism, in the old sense, included prudence and harm avoidance. In the newer sense, Cheney said we should go to war if there was even a 1% chance of someone attacking us.
So, conservatives: do you think there's a 1% or better chance that the people counting tree rings and tramping over glaciers know what they're talking about?
Many people haven't gotten the memo, but Exxon Mobil CEO Rex TIllerson has now said that AGW is happening but that the best course of action is to adapt to it.
Since Exxon Mobil was funding the astroturf denialist organizations, it's surprising that the noise hasn't died out yet. Momentum, maybe?
More justifiably, there have been some recent heat waves that are far enough off the bell curve to make it plausible that the center of the bell curve has shifted.
"They shipped an initial production run of about 100 thousand units" is a statement about products being delivered. It's not a statement that can be backed up by a link to an old Slashdot article that said something was going to ship later.
Having it told right would be good. The community and the world do not need another book talking about hackers's enthusiasm for a text editor called 'Emax" [sic].
Reducing efficiency, and imposing limits on materials.
What limited the speed of an SR-71 was that the compressor inlet temperature could not exceed 427 Celsius. Try to go too fast, and the inlet compression will heat up the incoming air too much.
And as far as the public is concerned it never will, because as soon as computers can do something it is no longer considered "intelligent". The goal posts will keep moving forever.

The content of Westboro's speech does and should incur our contempt, but legal regulations have to be independent of what's being said.
The important part is that the suicidal people had dihydrogen monoxide in their cerebrospinal fluid.
Was the number in Biblical times.

Solid propellants are better suited for quick reaction and storage.
A work can be "creative" and "derivative" at the same time. For example, much of Shakespeare.
It's similar in Japan and Europe?
You can hold three jobs there and still not afford food?
Life is full of surprises, but I'm going to have to say "citation needed".
they wouldn't work so hard to suppress it.
An insightful and underappreciated point.

Why didn't it all pop off in the last interglacial? (Or did it?)
Can I play?
After all, where did people hear about it? The liberal media! Where did the "relief" money go? To wicked New York!
The NOAA "forecasters" who said it was a hurricane all depend on government money!
It's rained before, and nobody said it was a hurricane until the New World Order hurricane conspiracy came along!
If it were a hurricane and not sabotage, how come none of the emergency generators worked?
It's scary how easy and fun this is.
Often, because people are dumb.

The plaintiff is asking the government to force her to pay them money as a result of her speech.
It would be easier to breed alpha emitters.
Search on Zubrin and "Mars Direct". The idea makes a lot of sense.

What is the "print" of which you speak?

the "adults" who enable them by taking no action when someone is set on fire. (Having trouble finding the citation).
