Wrong. Department of Justice is the correct legal name (and they should know!). (Though it is Ministère de la Justice in French.) The head of the department is the Minister of Justice.
Because precipitation snow or rain - increases with increasing temperature. And it comes down as snow if the temperature goes up as long as it's still below freezing. If the temperature goes from -10 to -5, it still snows, but the amount of snow goes up.
But I'm guessing you knew that already and just asked the question in bad faith.
The population of a college town is going to be skewed, perhaps significantly in small towns, by both the customers (students) and employees of the college. It's not an issue of age, it's an issue of a certain kind of population temporarily or permanently relocating to the community.
Cognitive dissonance is the whole point. Anyone can believe something true; 'believing' something that you know if false is what takes faith. It's how you prove you're in the club.
Doing something because it had practical benefit (or is even a necessity) does not mean it's optimal. Certainly neural pathways that are unused may atrophy, and repetition will make us better at any activity mental or physical, but I'm not sure that's really something I would call optimization.
Can it really be considered 'wasting' money given that the function of the TSA is to spend money without constructive purpose?
(Of course it also inconveniences travellers and violates rights, but nothing beats a large government budget for making something look more important than it really is.)
It's disappointing the way the writers abuse it, but to be fair, if you had any piece of technology and upgraded it continuously for a few hundred years, it would like magic compared to the original version.
Kind of like a modern cell phone that is a phone/personal computer/camera/video camera/GPS system and calling it a quill because that was what you originally had in the 15th century when you started..
Quite right. The function of the TSA is not to prevent terrorism or improve security, it is to Look Like they Are Doing Something(tm). Child molestation ensures that no-one forgets that the TSA is there.
It's funny with the *vast* number of science fiction movies and TV shows that show alien/futuristic technology with strange lights to think that they might have had it right all along.
There's definitely too many adults ready to substitute violence for parenting, but the opposite extreme of a complete ban on spanking doesn't work well either. Let's face it, there are adults out there who you can't get through to without a little force.
Quantum entanglement is very cool, but it's not relevant to photons. Photon travel at the speed of light, and experience infinite length contraction and infinite time dilation. "Before" and "after" simply to not exist in the photon's inertial frame.
All they've done is demonstrate special relativity, not quantum entanglement.
Most 'ordinary' depression is simply the way the brain copes with changes in circumstances and the resulting changes in the brain's model of reality. The natural course of regular depression is about 8 weeks, which is why most 'treatments' are effective after about 6 weeks (from time of diagnosis), and the only actual benefit they have, if any, is the placebo effect of medication side effects or the ego boost of having a therapist pay attention.
However, there are also people with a real, serious illness who legitimately need intervention.
The real problem is too many people who are too vain to accept that their depression is just the regular-strength kind.
People obsessing over whether dark matter is actually something like a material substance or really even a form of matter are missing the point. Dark matter is a hypothesis with explanatory power, and it very likely pointing to something that really exists. It may be many things acting together that are completely unrelated to the concepts of 'dark' and 'matter', or the current hypothesis might be a very natural explanation of what is causing the observed effects. The point is that there is a consistent theory which although not complete yet is helping us understand more about the universe.
Consider things like quarks and elections, where we talk about waves and particles. But the notions of 'wave' and 'particle' are merely metaphors we use because the human imagination fails us in trying to describe things which according to the mathematics are clearly neither waves nor particles.
Given that C-3PO worked as an interpreter for a criminal conspiracy of rebels attempting to overthrow the lawful government of the Galactic Empire, his memory was probably wiped on a fairly regular basis. It would be as routine as an office shredder is on 21st century Earth.

I want to moderate this 'redundant' but I mean it in a good way.

Which violates the privacy of individuals by identifying each one of them.
Actually, "Harper Government" is actually the correct way to describe his ministry, since we speak the Queen's English in Commonwealth countries.

Proof or disproof doesn't even mean anything in the context of God. 'God' is a metaphor - the whole idea was never meant to be taken literally.
Not to mention a wonderful and legal role for bittorrent.
"[H]iding the content of legislation" is bipartisan, and (from their perspective) it isn't a problem, it's the goal.
Perhaps "hurting the U.S. renewable energy industry" is the goal.

Now we know why Luke started hearing voices in his head all of a sudden.
There are polluters with guns and private cops. The EPA is not a social club the does a bit of advocacy, it's a law enforcement agency.

The double lithium atom is actually carbon-14, but it sells for more with the cool name.
Luckily the only actual scientists in political science - namely Aristotle and Machiavelli - are already dead.
