I see a future where, like the floating casino aircraft carrier being actually purchased from Ukraine by China to be an aircraft carrier in the Chinese military, these console targeted chips will be diverted into super-computer use.
Precedent exists that if useful in a lawful manner it shouldn’t be prohibited. I can use the design files and a 3D printer creating metal components to craft the firearm in metal.
The judge is ruling the government incompetent after the state department took years to reach this ruling. The judge cannot legislate from the bench. This ruling overrides the law in force and as determined at length.
The ruling violates the long standing legal precedent of the lawful construction of firearms by individuals. One can make a pistol, rifle, revolver, etc. legally for ones own use. Legislating a tool that facilitates the action of making ones one firearm seems a blatant violation of those rights.
The plastic firearms are already deemed a novelty. They don’t reliable fire even one shot. Yet there exist other methods to achieve the same results. I can form the same firearm design from bulk plastic. And it will be stronger. I can more easily create metal firearms more cheaply that are more reliable. $20 and a trip to a hardware store and I can craft a slam fire shotgun that requires less skill to fabricate.
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution clearly says, “...shall not be infringed.” Not it’s a good idea not to, not maybe don’t infringe, not it’s ok to infringe in these circumstance. It says plainly “shall not be infringed.” So the government will have to show an overwhelming reason to infringe.
The case of PGP encryption mirrors the same legal process in it’s ITAR case. The government lost. They will lose this fight too.
The ruling amounts to prior restraint.
Activist judges are defiling our checks and balances by creating law from the bench. Impeachment of the judge is the remedy in all cases.
When typing @donaldjtrump @donaldtrump or @potus especially, there are protest personalities or in the @potus case Obama well ahead of President Donald J Trump. Of course @president Donald Trump is also not effective. An the “@“s above with or without spaces are equally frustrating. I’ve yet to find a term that brings up the actual presidential tag at the top of the list consistently.
If you’re ancient like me you know bananas aren’t what they used to be. Bananas are cloned for propagation. Every Cavandish banana you eat is from a cloned plant. And they are dying off, again. What I’d like to see is some enterprising banana scientist, what a great visual, bring about a disease resistant version, well fungus resistant, of the much tastier and better shipping endurance, Gros Michel banana. If you’re old enough you know what I mean. Bananas on cornflakes didn’t need sugar then. The texture was better, and they did much better in shipping. But the Gros Michel was brought down by a fungus that slowly spread in the ground as tires and boot treads moved it about, an huge fields of bananas were cultivated. So using Genetic manipulation to introduce other banana strains fungus resistance to Gros Michel would be of benefit to all of banana eating kind.
Sir, she walks, she talks, she's full of chalk, the lacteal fluid extracted from the female of the bovine species is highly prolific to the nth degree.
With the data they are collecting they should be paying your vehicle registration, maybe the vehicle insurance. And if you’re an influencer maybe your car payments. They are collecting a lot of valuable data. They should be paying you.
Lunar colonies would just store heat in phase transition material. Then in the dark, extract it and generate power. Or just store electricity. Huge vacuum capacitor farms.
Silicon for solar panels, any rare earths needed would be minimal, and the entirety of the lunar surface is pretty much a better clean room for prodding them. Or sterling engines. The take the generated power beam it as microwaves to a station at L4 or L5 (or both) and then to earth. Orbital logistics might make other arrangements possible too. No need to haul material from the moon to the earth. Though a huge lunar catapult would be cool to heave containers to earth orbit...
It isn’t possible to met the judges demand. First, you have to prove global warming is happening, Pruitt may contend this is a normal fluctuation. And with a solar minimum coming a mini ice age may be in the offing. Then assuming global warming, per the judges order Pruitt must prove a negative. And the parameters of that proof must be established. Do cow farts constitute man made global warming, and if so can we offset it by elimination of termites worldwide, the number one methane contributor? In the 1970s scientists floated the premise we were on the cusp of an ice age, and to mitigate that threat proposed melting the polar ice caps by spreading lampblack over them.
The “consensus view” on global warming being manmade is based on a flawed study of the papers at a climate conference where the famed 97% figure arose. But the actual authors of the papers used to generate this statistic say the study is in error, because their paper was misinterpreted, they didn’t conclude there was global warming, they said global warming was occurring but it wasn’t manmade, they said global warming was occurring but it was a normal fluctuation, they said global warming was occurring but the effects would not me drastic, or global warming was occurring but it would be potentially beneficial. So, consensus is not at all been achieved.
For humor points Pruitt needs to get some of the Russian climatologists to testify regards their theory that we are entering an ice age.
When governments targeted gun makers, the gun makers just decided to limit their liability and not sell to police or other government entities in those jurisdictions. Barret won’t sell to NY or CA. Some go farther Magpul moved out of Colorado. Weatherby left California for Wyoming. So not just refusing sales, moving jobs too.
We don't allow people to walk in off the street and purchase military grade tanks or armor-piercing ammunition...
Tanks are legal to own. Just a bit expensive. And if the main gun is operative a tax stamp is needed for the destructive device. Armor piercing, even anti tank rounds are available as well...
Politicians seldom actually research. And regards armor piercing rounds? Tungsten balls put into hollowpoint ammo suffice for light armor, and large game hunting rounds that aren’t armor piercing, will pierce armor. The military personnel care about efficiency. So they want lighter weight armor piercing rounds. They need to keep 40-60 pounds of MRE, grenades, clothing, etc. with them, but bad guys just need to carry ammo. A military weight burden of nitro express rifle rounds is quite a number of them. Heck 12 gauge magnum shells with 1 and 1/4 ounce slugs is effective against most body armor. But hunting rounds with a.22 caliber round in a sabot are high enough velocity that they’ll defeat armor. Smart people that have criminal intent would just violate any restrictive laws, make their own. It’s not a technological barrier.
Of course in California just order an armored upscale vehicle protected to your desired specs. Gun ports optional.
As I grew up, etiquette was to allow 10 rings. That’s a whole minute to answer the phone. I often leave my cell in the bedroom as I go about my morning. Or in the livingroom when I’m home and about the house. This is less than 40 feet. I start to walk to my phone and folks have hung up before I get there. In the Internet age, we expect 1/4 second response times, so it seems intolerably long to wait even 15 seconds for someone to answer when you call. And the hesitation to see it ring twice before answering so as not to seem anxious or just hanging waiting for a call combined with the digital intolerance makes the window for answering or expecting an answer very short.
Fado, fado, fado,... I was once courted by F to move to Detroit and lead an ecm software group, I mentioned my wife needed special medical care and in the period before everyone gets the same plan days, they offered to pay any deductibles or special uncovered medical costs. I started getting serious then and was doing my due diligence. They had an offer on the table that was real hard to ignore even though I worked in central engineering of a major computer maker. During my due diligence I found that on the plus side they offered outstanding benefits and salary at the time. On the minus, they seemed to have a problem keeping engineers (software engineers). So was it they jumped to better offers? I noticed most stayed through completion of major hire incentives being paid out / completed, then left. I looked up a couple former employees that where friends of friends... the word was F beat them up, burned them our, then dropped them. Long hours as exempt employees with no overtime pay, no promotions or raises if no overtime. And excessive demands to perform more than was possible. They essentially burnt out programmers and looked upon them as a easy to replace commodity. The incentives run out, programmers lost the desire to work even harder for the same old pay (Good as it was). So they moved to other positions even if they paid less, because less pressure, better work environment. The G firm picked up a few very nice previously F people, because much like BK would not do market research early on to place restaurants, they just put them near a McD’s and succeeded, the F people were proven, and accepted less to be in a better environment. They still worked more than other fields programmers, but to them it seemed better. So those automotive programmers from days gone by at least, were exceptionally qualified, well paid, but generally overworked which then detracts from quality. And no one anticipated users reprogramming their cars, let alone accounted for security against antagonistic actors compromising things purposely. And reuse is king. All that 1980s 1990s code just gets reused. And OBDCs like FireWire provide an attack vector to infect. And wireless monitoring of your car? Wow. That’s likely not protected against attacks either.
In the immediate post revolutionary war, America was fairly resource starved militarily. Britain and France were two of the superpowers then. Asking America to step in, where only about 10% of the mostly British a few years before still with friends and family as well in Britain, to aid the French, would be like asking Iceland to side with America if a US v Russia war broke out. Which if Russia was the initial aggressor their participation in NATO might require...
Least folks forget, the Soviets provided a huge amount of raw materials including coal and petroleum products, metals and materials for explosives to Germany. Had they not done so, Germany’s war would have been regional and short lived. Trains were headed to Germany from Russia even as Germany began the invasion of Russia. And as to the Russian aggression later, against Germany, the front line troops were most often Ukrainian Red Army and Belarussian Red Army units, with Russian Red Army trailing or defending Russian homeland. And the Soviet military heavily depended on the American lend lease program.
And the lend lease program didn’t really cause huge profits, American companies diverted capacity from consumer goods, and at the wars end, thousands of airplanes and vehicles were destroyed as they then didn’t need to be paid for by the receiving country. Brand new aircraft were pushed overboard to prevent payment becoming due...
Just put a very big prop 65 warning at the borders.” California contains substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.” Done, don’t need any more labels.

So once they extract some or all of the fat, it’s no longer milk? It becomes processed milk food instead?
Or the dictionary says... The white liquid obtained from some plants is also called milk:
So I guess the FDA wants the dictionary changed too. And pity poor milkweed. It can’t be renamed to just weed, that would be a big problem...
Coconut milk contains a large amount of fats. Coconut water is nearly clear and low or no fat. Like milk and water.
