I think you mean "You are fricking kidding me, aren't you?" at least that sentence makes sense. Lamarck might be right when you look at epigenetics. Finally, the lack of a magnetosphere will mean that eventually any atmosphere we add will get stripped away by solar winds.
In a way your right, but not completely. People still say very hateful things on Facebook that they can't say at their job or they'd be fired; people post pictures of drugs that they wouldn't do out in public. For example, if someone at a large corp decided to forward an email saying "All Muslims are brutal killers and should be shot on site" to everyone in the corp address book, they'd most likely get fired...but they still post stuff like that in the "public setting" on Facebook. Sometimes it can backfire, but only if someone can get an HR drone to actually go notice, AND it's causing "the general public" to speak out against that particular corp. Perhaps in the near future social media and real-life will be tied together more; but right now it's not.
I still stand by my advertising money theory as one of the major reasons Facebook bans accounts. It's only one reason; another is there are people who really hate specific segments of the populace and will go to great lengths to cause those people problems. The LGBT community seems to be a particularly targeted group; statistically many of the banned accounts belong to them. Yet, at the end of the quarter, all a publicly traded company is "legally" concerned with is profits. Accounts that aren't actual names cause mismatches in targeted advertising; Facebook is under contractual agreement with their advertisers to ensure that this doesn't happen.
And "better behavior" is the wrong term; "politically correct" behavior is a better match. I don't publicly (on Facebook) post about Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli; but only because I live in a very conservative area of the US and it would socially and economically impact my life. That this treaty is a part of the countries history is beside the point; most people in my area would still take great offense including my current and future employers.
Their various spokespeople have been dancing around the truth behind this; but it's all about the advertising money. If your not using your real name, then they can't easily tie you back to whatever profiling system they use that pushes ads based on marketing databases. My theory is that many of the "complaints" that get accounts removed are coming from various companies who pay to advertise with Facebook; to them "fake accounts" are wasting their money. No corp gives a flying f*ck if your a victim of domestic abuse, a trans hiding from a beating, or even if your in the US's witness protection plan. To them, a fake name = wasted ads. The only reason Facebook is even addressing this is because of the social backlash.
Many thing the best idea would be to build a cap over the canyon system in the middle latitudes, the Valles Marineris. You could have multiple pressurized areas in case of a breach, and there is likely already caves in the walls. The pressure at the bottom is, at times, already enough for liquid water, Some interesting discussions about this area is already underway.
The first few generations will have issues, but evolution will adapt to the lower gravity with each new generation. The biggest issue future Martians will face, even if we manage to terraform it, is these decedents probably won't be able to return to Earth due to various changes in bone density, muscle mass, etc. The biggest issue with any terraforming is the lack of a magnetosphere.
That's assuming AI can be made with just pure code. I personally think a true AI will most likely require some highly specialized hardware, most likely some quantum chip system along side some very complex code. The field of quantum biology is just beginning.
and thus why there is a push for some type of "third" grouping. The idea is a “dependent contractor" or something; a new area that has parts of the former two. But it seems the USA doesn't like having more than two options for anything really...so I doubt anything like this will ever happen. Neither the unions nor the corps will allow any control to be lost and both will use their purchased lawmakers to keep this from happening.
So did Jesus, at least according to the Gnostic Gospels. Even is the accepted canon many of the modern practices are ideas Jesus specifically spoke out against; ideas like public prayer, letting the poor fend for themselves, megachurches...
I once "got in trouble with a dyke" too when she read my Fight Club tshirt that said "Recycle your animals". I told her it was from a movie, she said which one...I then realized that she probably really hated Fight Club since it's a "male empowerment" movie...which is too bad because having a tshirt from a movie that rages against consumerism is quite ironic...
Scientology also is deeply influenced by Aleister Crowley and his Golden Dawn occult system. Many of their ideas are blatantly copied straight out of Crowley's various works, often just with Scientology "terms" substituted for Crowleys, I once used this info to "save" a good friend from the grips of Scientology; once I pulled out Magick: In Theory and Practice and showed him the two's various similarities side-by-side it finally clicked just how bad Scientology actually is. It seems one of Scientology tricks is to buy various small business business plans and then use them to get new members. He is a car mechanic, the particular system that snagged him was their system of business management that included detailed plans with ticketing systems, service writers, labor scheduling, etc. the actual business ideas themselves are quite solid; he took those and abandoned the rest...his business is doing quite well and they never "came after him" luckily.
So is the US Treasury. They are actively investigating why ISIS has so many Toyota's. There are so many of them, this is a quote from the article: “Regrettably, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have effectively become almost part of the ISIS brand,” said Mark Wallace, a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
The idea behind such a lockdown isn't to hamper the target's movements; it's to get everyone off the streets so the only ones left moving around are law enforcement or the "target". The whole thing could have been avoided by the FBI actually using the intel Russia had given us; but if we had done that there wouldn't have been any bombing nor the fear that followed.
About identity theft. foreign countries, or anything else. Because if he did, he would stop suggesting that we purposely destroy the only thing between us and them: encryption. I don't think he's just stupid and doesn't understand that making "holes" will also allow others to get into them; he either doesn't care or actually wants this to happen. I'm now leaning to "want this to happen", because this would actually help his own political agenda.
I understand the ideas that Philo of Alexandria expounded upon, the effects of the Council of Nicea, have read what's left of the War Scroll, while attempting to trace back the transformation of Judaism into a mystical apocalyptic cult that is now a major world religion. I also agree that the "giants in the Earth" are probably ancient oral retelling of encounters with Neanderthals, and that the actual location of "Eden" is currently underneath the Persian Gulf. I also do NOT loudly proclaim anything, if you had read my original post you would have seen that I purposely keep most of my beliefs under wraps due to living in the Bible belt. And it's not just sitting around reading the internet, I've had many discussions with Catholic priests, Rabbis, and other religious figures about my "heretical" thoughts.
And I also understand the context of Article 11, this treaty was with Muslim pirates who were attacking our ships on the principle that we weren't fellow Muslims. It was actually George Washington's idea for this treaty, perhaps he thought by declaring this it would mitigate the cargo seizures. It was also a declaration against state religions such as the Church of England. Yet the text is an actual treaty, and is part of US law.
oh yeah, nothing more tasty than walking around and stumbling upon a feral blackberry patch of just ripened berries! Especially when you've been exploring wooded areas for a few hours...
funny you mention birds; my parents had a cherry tree that they watched fruit and had maybe a day or two until the harvest. That night they heard many birds but didn't grok it until the next morning...when they awoke to a bare tree hahaha
I'm still curious about the plane crash...is the Cavendish somehow immune to damage if the plane it's being transported in crashes? That's some pretty amazing breeding if so lol.
Theoretically individual states could still have an official religion, unless their individual constitutions prohibit it. I'm just pointing out that when people say "the United States is a Christian Nation" this is demonstrably false, at least as far as John Adams and the other 40+ Founding Fathers who voted for this treaty show. There is a huge difference between a country being founded on Christian morals vs being a "Christian nation".
right, but I still don't have any idea what the "surviving a plane crash" is about...is that a part of some arcane test people put various types of bananas through? "Well, the XYZ banana is still in one piece after we we put it in the cargo bay of a 747 and flew it into a mountain. However, banana ABC was destroyed on impact." Or is the poster referring to their ability to survive if a plane crashes into a banana tree orchard? Is this an actual problem, like for some reason banana orchards are notorious for planes slamming into them?
Yeah, that's what Christians CLAIM often...until there is some Old Testament idea they want to push. Then they quote Matthew 5:17 so they can justify applying laws written for a Bronze age nomadic desert tribe. Or using John 7:19, or Luke 16:17. "We don't follow those rules, except when we do." If you had a flowchart of all the rules in Christianity, you'd notice that it's impossible to not commit a sin due to conflicting rules.

40Mb DSL? That's far beyond the technical capabilities of DSL...it tops out at 24Mb.
1 Mbps isn't broadband. The minimum is 3Mbps up.

This is a major reason I've pretty much abandoned torrenting, instead I just use Kodi with Genesis. No more pop-ups, malware, etc.
