I don't need a distance correction, but I have tried those bifocal sunglasses with a diopter reading correction at the bottom. But on the trail that leaves me with a big fuzzy blob around my feet, right where I need to be able to see where I'm walking.
I was a first child with the opposite problem: though I was reading, self-taught, at two, for a long time I wouldn't talk. Then by the time I turned four my little sister began talking, and presto! Now I had a peer to converse with.
I'm far off in distance, so his first responders are right there near him. My need is to stay informed, not to be able to respond immediately. In any case, there are iron-rich pockets around here where even a Verizon signal can't get through.
I have a distant relative who is undergoing major medical problems, and if he or one of his med techs texts me while I'm out hiking with my club, there's no time to whip off my sunglasses, forage in my pack for reading glasses, and put those on to see the message. But suppose my sunnies had a VR overlay that brought out one selected iPhone function, as the Apple Watch does. By having it display texts, I could stay informed without breaking stride. So long as Apple avoided the optics, so to speak, of Google Glass, for many people, this could be a more practical wearable than the Watch.
"...you dare to criticise a country who are making the same leaps with lower emissions per person."
It's not "Americans" in general who are ignoring China's progress on lowering carbon. It's the cabbage-head No Nukes liberals who are afraid of the US starting a reactor program as comprehensive as China's.
The US has plenty of rare earth deposits. China only produces more because our regulations won't let us do the mining. This will now change. A side effect of rare earth production is that we get thorium, which we can now also start using for energy.
This has been the Greens' goal all along. That's why they not only whip up apocalyptic hysteria over the carbon issue, but actively prevent us from engineering our way out of whatever fraction of the problem turns out to be real.
They don't want a solution. They want the apocalypse.
You're not getting it, The pipeline encourages and cheapens the use of a fuel that we need to stop using. There is also likely some adverse environmental effects of the pipelines installation.
Hillary may have been edged out, but it was Stein who really, really, lost, as in completely annihilated. Get over it.
Keystone was shut down because Warren Buffet wants to keep making money running oil on his trains.
This could have been a factor, but the more likely reason is that Obama felt he owed one to the crackpot religious Greens. Will we finally get the TMT built now, and in Hawaii where Galileo intended?
I'm glad to see Thiel on the transition team, and let's hope he gets appointed to a post where his technical expertise can be used. I would like to see science and technology get the Cabinet level position it deserves.
"As a resident of California, who lives a short drive from Hollyweird, this law is no surprise. The second stupidest legislature in the US sucks Hollywood's dick at all times, in all ways."
What's odious about this law is that it only applies to the entertainment industry. Shouldn't it apply to all employees?
The dirty little secret of Southwestern culture is that there is a major divide between illegal Hispanics and legal Hispanics, who resent being defamed and dragged down by the illegals. In Arizona we have long-standing Mexican neighborhoods where illiterate and radical newbies are showing up, raising chickens in their back yards. Think of them as los cuellos rojos.
I'm assuming that runways and non-modular buildings would still be there. The big Marine First Division base could become the Oceanside School of Law, where California would train the most feared segment of its population to file intellectual property suits, its largest remaining industrial product.
"Regarding California, after it seceeds, where will they get water?"
California has an infinite amount of water, if it cares to get serious about desalination. But where is it going to get the large amounts of new energy that would require, larger even than the gigawatt-hours it already imports from the nukes and dams of Arizona?
Trump would throw a wrench into their cheap labor and displacing jobs. Threatens their business models.
That's exactly why Silicon Valley wants to secede and be out of his reach. Without a Thirteenth Amendment to interfere with its H-1B plans, California could build its own fleet of sustainably powered sailing vessels, made of natural woods, to bring in workers who would be hunted and captured in the poorer parts of Asia and then brought home on the trade winds. Airline methods could be used to make this shipping arrangement highly efficient. Imagine how many workers could be accommodated in a vessel with one-meter deck spacing and workers tied down with restraints in a prone position, packed spoon fashion!
If California becomes a country, presumably one with an open southern border and an H-1B peonage system of its own, it would have to implement some form of defense department. Would it have electric dirigible aircraft, wind-powered missiles and a Department Of Hugging It Out?

Edit: AR overlay.

Remind the Democrats that burning effigies emits carbon.

No, US manufacture would move iPhone production to robots.
No more liberals! Off to Canada you go babies! No free college for you!
Notice that none of these people ever threaten to go to, you know, Mexico?
It's rank propaganda of the lamest kind.
And a shit movie.
What would speculating about a hypothetical alien contact be propaganda for, exactly?
"We may have to eliminate people."
This has been the Greens' goal all along. That's why they not only whip up apocalyptic hysteria over the carbon issue, but actively prevent us from engineering our way out of whatever fraction of the problem turns out to be real.

The atmosphere "cares" only about the total CO2 it gets, not the carbon per capita.
Since Arizona has had a rainy year, this means we have to tour the country, giving out water to all the drought-stricken areas.

"I wonder how the US would feel if California cut off your fucking produce."
If we lost the California produce, we would just buy more from Mex-
Oh, wait!

And don't forget the great wine.
"California has a metric assload of military bases within its borders"
You mean that California would have a lot of land where US bases once were.
Trump would throw a wrench into their cheap labor and displacing jobs. Threatens their business models.
