Well, there is a little bit of a byproduct. You'd hardly notice, but there's a bit of, well, a teensy, tiny, little bit of psychosis. The depleted glucose mimics a neurotransmitter, but it's in such a small amount that it's basically zero.
It doesn't really matter unless you're putting a LOT of cybernetics in there.
I agree, we should have proportional representation. It makes sense. What we have now just doesn't work right, and you get vote splitting and bad choices all around.
The Americans have a saying: "There are four boxes to use in the defence of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Use in that order."
Soap boxes are illegal. You protest, you go to prison if the government decides that it's an illegal protest. G20, G8, Montreal. Warrantless monitoring of everything that happens online? That's an excuse to arrest people who are planning to protest the government. The ballot boxes were stolen from us. The courts have proven that there was fraud in Etobicoke at the very least. I'm not saying the CPC did it, but they're the only party that's trying to get a court order to say that it shouldn't be investigated. The legal options are getting pretty sparse. Now we've got a majority of SCJ appointed by the guy who likely stole the election. Rifles don't have to be registered anymore.
People talk about Harper making Canada unrecognizable, but how bad we we have fallen it be if we started using "American Options" to remove politicians we don't like? I'd like to see the lot of our current "Honourable" members led out of the HoC in handcuffs for election fraud. I don't want to see anybody hurt, and I'd love the delicious irony of the CPC losing confidence due to a procedural error.
Maybe when they go to vote on the budget a couple dozen of us will jump in front of the MP's cars, get run over, and keep them from getting to work. They'd lose the vote, lose confidence, and force an election. Hmm, that might actually work.
1. My wife and I must be at home when the show is on. 2. If 1. is during the time when the kids are awake or we want to do something else, then move to 3. 3. Cable company DVR must record accurately. The three models I've tried have a 10% loss rate, meaning they just can't be bothered to record 1/10th of the shows they get set up to watch. The shows that DID work would often end up with periods of dead audio or would stop short and/or start late. Sometimes everything on the HDD would become inaccessible. So long, entire series that I was going to watch this summer.
I've tried to watch shows without downloading: Battlestar Galactica, V, Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Torchwood, Simpsons, Lost, etc, but I had to download one or more episodes per season. So why bother trying to work with their business model when they can't be bothered to make it work? When GoT came out, I didn't even bother to try to go through my cable company. I don't mind paying as long as the fucking stuff works but it doesn't.
Bombs are expensive. You want to stop enemy production in a war, right? So you blow up the factories, the power plants, etc.
What if, instead of blowing them up, you just shut them all off? It worked with Iran's atomic development and ushered in a new era of warfare. Up until WWI, war was a grand and glorious adventure, swords and arrows, showing the bad guys what for! Then chemical weapons killed so many people all at once, the game wasn't fun anymore, but you could still send your plebians out to rattle your sabres. Once atomics showed up, we go to the point where war could kill the country's leaders as well as the people sent out to the front lines.
This new era lets anyone, anywhere, pick off any target. You can shut down an Iranian centrifuge. You can dig up dirt on the Prime Minister and give it to the newspaper. Everyone with an Internet connection has the potential to hold a weapon far more dangerous and far more powerful than anything that goes "bang". We can make anyone, anywhere, go "whimper".
That's why we're seeing cyberwarfare units and Internet censorship / monitoring. We can't have people rocking the boat.
In any case, it doesn't matter if you're a theist or atheist; at some point you have to believe in the absurd notion that everything came from an uncreated something.
Actually, it's closer to "we don't know enough to answer that question...yet." Maybe a Sky Wizard did it. Maybe the universe is cyclical, maybe it's the result of n-dimensional experimentation, who knows? Maybe through investigation we can find out how the Universe was created and be able to build our own Universes. Sitting back and saying "God did it, He's ending the world this weekend, no need to plan for the future!" does a dis-service to everything that's ever existed on this little rock.
As to how much how I was created affects my daily life, that's irrelevant. We might exist because of random chance, or by the whim of a creator, or if I'm an avatar in an MMORPG, or any of a million possibilities, each more ridiculous and miraculous than the last.
What we do know is that we think we exist, and that we are the only sentient species we have encountered. What we have to do is stop eating pie and masturbating and get on with making our planet and our species better than it is.
Follow the Iranian lead: jam the GPS, land it in a field, and reprogram "home". They don't "have the manpower" to track you down, do they?
For years you Americans have been saying that you can't outgun the military because they have gunships and drones. Well fuck man, they're going to just hand over drones to use as you see fit.

Not in Canada.
All the channels are encrypted now so you have to use the cable company's special box to watch TV.
Sure, but then:
1. My wife and I must be at home when the show is on.
2. If 1. is during the time when the kids are awake or we want to do something else, then move to 3.
3. Cable company DVR must record accurately. The three models I've tried have a 10% loss rate, meaning they just can't be bothered to record 1/10th of the shows they get set up to watch.

Piracy. Works every time, no cost.
Not if we kill 13 of them. Then they lose their majority and force another election.
If I'm going to spend the rest of my life in prison, it sure as fuck will be for a real crime.

I've got matrimonial money. I don't have to open my wallet to know my wife has it all.
Huh, my wife and I have separate bank accounts. We split up the bills so it comes out about even afterwards.
I'm vegan and I find this thing hilarious.

I like music.
I like music a lot more than the sounds of the whirring fans, the babble, and the typing noises.
