Haitian witch doctors can do something similar. Real life "zombies" are not dead, but they THINK they were. Might want to look into that as well. If memory serves, puffer fish poison was the main part of their zombie drug.
Yeess... can't say I've read any studies of the efficacy of real-life zombification on gunshot survival rates.
"We are suspending life, but we don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction," says Samuel Tisherman, a surgeon at the hospital, who is leading the trial. "So we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation."
Are they nuts? That's exactly why they should call it suspended animation! It's awesome!
Demonstrate first that driving talking using a wireless headset is significantly more dangerous than other things which are legal (driving with kids in the car, say) and then we'll talk.
Why? They could be just as dangerous as each other, but only one is reasonable to ban. It's never a simple case of X more dangerous than Y therefore ban X. If it was no-one would be allowed to wear high heels or ride a motorbike. The right to take your kids to school in the car is far more of a necessity than the right to drive while talking on a cellphone, whether that's with a headset (which while I don't feel is a particular wise thing to do, is certain to be a lot less dangerous than anything that takes your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road) or otherwise.
where someone put a few rounds into an automated speed camera. There are no more speed cameras on the I-10 in Phoenix.
You make it sound like the other speed cameras quit in fear of their lives. Is it possible the former wasn't actually a contributing factor in the latter?
Soap, ballot, jury, ammo; use the boxes in that order.
How far down the list have you been?
I'd rather people use LIDAR jammers than bullets, but I condone the use of both if other options have been exhausted.
Part of the problem is that most people just can't summon up the effort required for the "other options," and just skip straight to "just ignore the laws I don't like," while patting themselves on the back for being a champion of natural justice.
I don't know why so many people think they and they alone should be the final arbiter on how fast they drive. Laws like speed limits have to be a compromise because it's impractical to test everyone under every condition and road speed and give them different licences that cover them under combinations of conditions.
What I want to know is what percentage of accidents involve at least one vehicle containing at least one passenger beyond the driver of that vehicle.
Even worse, in 100% of cases a human was (perhaps nominally in some cases) in charge of the vehicle - a problem we do appear to be finally making some headway on solving.
And what, exactly, are you going to do about it, big man?
Not that anyone's actually coming to take your phone, anyway. They'll just fine you or take you to court for using it while driving, because it's a distraction while you're in charge of what is, without proper driver control, a motorised battering ram.
So, don't drive like a dick, and no-one will take your phone! Problem solved! Don't like getting speeding tickets? Don't speed! Plenty more sage advice where that came from.
Or just keep driving while yacking and texting away, and perhaps one day someone will be taking your phone from your cold dead hands. Not that I'd wish that on you, but better yours in that case than someone else's by your actions.
What happened to sharing an actual, physical space with someone and communicating without the use of third-party servers or, in fact, any kind of technology as the most social platform ever?
...isn't a law. It's a policy. It won't be illegal to send books to someone in prison; they just won't get there.
(I.E. someone doing a university course via correspondence).
That would presumably be done through official channels which wouldn't be subject to the ban - the concern is raised that a limit on the number of books kept at any one time could have a detrimental effect in such cases, but that might also be quite easily excepted.
ring systems aren't exclusive to planetary bodies — asteroids can have them too
Since the dividing line between "planet" and "asteroid" was drawn more-or-less arbitrarily by us humans, I wasn't expecting rings to be exclusive to planets in the first place.

"The technique involves replacing all of a patient's blood with a cold saline solution [...] At this point they will have no blood in their body"
"10 gunshot and stabbing victims will take part in the trials"
So, what, until then they just have to muster on as best they can? Seems a little harsh.

Maybe it's a bit trickier to replace every milliliter of blood in your body with cold salty water than to lower someone's body temperature.
I think it should not be ignored as it is currently.
I think it should. Comment annihilation!

And it's spelled, "Cardassians."
No, you're confused. Cardassians are a selfish, arrogant, lizard-like species, whereas the Kardashians-
Hold on...
Until the mid-2000s
Oh shit, they've got time travel!

Nooooooope. Not taking my phone. Nope.

Oh, Facebook... do fuck off now, there's a dear.
We'd still be complaining about the bottom 50%, but we'd be complaining to our domestic robots.
If it's the same problem I had, installing IE8 fixes it. For some reason.
13 is old enough.

And non-prison jobs are usually one thing it prevents.
Do they, though? You won't be able to run a server farm or a painting and decorating business, but that's more of a side-effect of incarceration.

Does a ring system tell us that this asteroid has volatile compounds on it?
Is there any reason it would?

Why do Netflix and a few other companies keep the DVD format alive, when streaming is more convenient for almost all users?
Because you're wrong, and it's not more convenient for "almost all" users.
Sounds like someone's got the old Slashdot disease of assuming you can extrapolate to the general population from a sample of one.
The picture quality is [*] much worse with streaming
*not?
I'm starting to wonder if he's just buying shit so no-one else can have it.
Yeah, well, I was just going for a cheap laugh by saying "poop."
"Poop."
Enjoy your glass of mostly pee.
There are things that Science will NEVER understand because they are outside its domain i.e. What happened "before" the "Big Bang."
Who says science can't reach beyond the Big Bang?
Scientists have (yet) to (re)discover the 6 fundamental forces, white holes, the bi-nature of time
Probably because you just made them up.
Proof of this will come in 2024 when your POV (point of view) will be turned upside down. See my .sig for details
Interesting use of the word "details," there.
