Hunting and gathering works as a lifestyle only for small nomadic bands that are used to constantly subsisting at the edge of starvation. We escaped the trap by inventing agriculture, it only assuring our long term survival but allowing us to build large permanent settlements, with all the civilizing potential they carry.
Now it's time for us to stop hunting and gathering at sea. Fish farming has already outgrown its startup problems. It's time to support the idea in a major way.
300 miles is just fine as a range, better than most ICE vehicles. The problem is the time it takes to "gas up" again. This is the lat big barrier to electrics replacing ICE. Until this one is solved, they will still be commuter machines.
Because of the heat dissipation requirements, Intel is actually going to have to name this processor series Waimangu Cauldron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Then the US (and other) stock markets crashed, and the banks tried to "call in" Germany's debt. Which tanked their economy and caused insane inflation.
Hardly, because the Weimar hyperinflation took place in 1923, when stock markets all over the world were still romping in boundless prosperity.
The inflation took place because the 1919 treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay a huge restitution to the Allied countries, and in gold. This stripped the backing from the Reichsmark, causing it to inflate away to nothing, as in Zimbabwe and Venezuela. When everyone saw their savings and pensions become worthless, it was easy for a rabble-rouser to rise from the trenches to claim that "they" had stabbed the country in the back.
Yeah, but it's still Vegan friendly. Can we find a way to do this with cows instead?
All of the GMO products that the flat-earth lobby is so concerned about are simple plant modifications. We haven't even exposed them to advanced CRISPR magic animal products yet.
This is also a region where any waste heat from industrial processes can be used as district heating. Heat stored in water can be piped an amazing distance without much heat 'leakage'.
I've bought a lot of stuff from amazon.com. But, during the past few months, I've started thinking about whether I should intentionally start patronizing other businesses - both online and offline - when I want to shop for things I would normally buy from Amazon
At times I have wondered about this myself. But when I compare being able to click on a website for a product that magically shows up on my doorstep two days later as opposed to visiting the closest comparable meatspace stores 100 miles away to the south or 65 miles to the west down a twisty road across a 7000' mountain pass, I say "Naaaah."
If this proves to be generally applicable, it will be a fast way of making a vaccine against whatever new disease strain may happen to break out. No more guesswork over which viral strains to include in this year's flu vaccine.
And because it's a vaccine made by genetically modifying a plant, deploying it will automatically eliminate Luddites from the population. Scientific progress will become possible again, even in Europe and California. I think GMO labeling is a rotten idea, but just this once, let's put a big red USES THE GMO PROCESS label in each vial to make sure.
Come on! You know that this new meat won't be called "meat"
And not just at the behest of the SJWs, but as a branding. Farmers will insist on being able to use the word for their "natural, ranch-raised" product as distinguished from the lab-grown product. This will be the great ag way of butter vs. margarine all over again.

The USA has many, many roads, and I would say that we are doing better economically than most countries, by a long shot.
Whoosh!
But while we had Obama, who supported and funded high speed rail, the weenie anti-tech Democrats still wouldn't let him build any of them.
At the behest of Muslims, UK police are tracking and arresting as terrorists immigrants who fought for Peshmerga and other anti-jihadist militias.
Obviously the Pentagon will want a defense against killbots, which will then easily be modified for offensive use.

And still another when it's 50C out.

What kind of developer doesn't do backups?

It's a shame that people assume that people reference the US as if its laws apply everywhere.
Unfortunately, US laws ARE enforced all over the world.
Bitcoin is getting to be forking ridiculous. Go short now.
Thereby allowing the dictatorship to get away with anything it wants. The older political term for this was Endlösung
No worries, Sweden has plenty of "immigrants" to fill those positions!
So that instead of having to modify a cellphone to act as a detonator, they will be able to just bring up an app.
Those tiny little hearing-aid batteries are EXPENSIVE.
That's because hearing aids are regulated as medical devices. It has nothing to do with the batteries being zinc-air.
And they will fire the frontline IT people who requested a budget for preventing attacks like this.

Yes, I forgot about the salmon (which are delicious, by the way). The glowing fish are not a food.

Is that the euphemism for Department For Responding to H-Bomb Attacks?

So what are asexual bars like? I was just wondering.
