That wasn't personal, sorry if you took it that way. Your statement just conjured an image of how old I would have to be to find the lunch ladies attractive...
Typos happen, it's freezing in this lab, to keep the magic smoke inside darn components.
You typically don't arrest people after they jump off the curb in front of a bus while being mauled by a pack of attack dogs with polonium teeth. Especially if they previously committed suicide using the safe two-bullet-in-the-head technique and padlocked themselves in a gym bag.
With 300 million Americans, minus the top 5% who won't willingly participate, that puts the revolution around the year 4400. I can't do it on that day, I have a swimming class.
Maybe we have to switch weapons and learn from the Finns about throwing smartphones. The ones without the rounded corners.
Seconded. That's a really long trip to be taking in the life-unfriendly vacuum. And at the end you land pretty hard on something no quite like where you grew up. Liquid water? Check! Photosynthesis? Hope you brought it with you! Other food? Not Mexican! Gases? See above.
If you bury it two miles down the crust, by the time it gets subducted, melted, churned by lava currents, and potentially finds its way up a magma chamber (considering you wouldn't bury it in the subduction zone nearest active volcanoes), I don't think the original 50000 tons will be more than traces. Uranium is heavy, it won't be the first element to float to the top of the mantle. Most of the others will have decayed while being subducted.
Considering that Mount St Helens blew about 3km3 of material (not all of it being new lava), managing to get hit by a chunk of subducted Uranium would earn you a special prize in $Afterlife.
Since SCOTUS previously denied standing to people because they couldn't prove they had been spied upon, and the Govt is likely to keep asserting State Secrets Privilege, I'm still waiting to hear how the stolen Snowden stuff is going to be enough to get anything else than -at best- a 5-4 rejection. It's only metadata, those silly Framers forgot to put it as something worth protecting.
I'm still waiting for an announcement about some scientist "discovering" that subduction zones are a good place to bury stuff that you don't want to worry about seeing back up any time soon.
Wrong Harrison Ford franchise Considering the size of his empire, I'm surprised there hasn't been an Indiana Jones (let's say a fourth movie, since the third was really good) about preventing the Nazis from finding it.
May I recommend not bringing your weapons with you? If you cannot trust handing them off to a sworn officer when you enter a secured area, maybe you should keep them at home.
As a matter of fact, should your weapon indeed get stolen, you can be pretty sure that it's unlikely to be by a foreign terrorist threatening a plane (since the personnel gets background checks), therefore the goal of protecting planes has been accomplished. It will just, like most weapons stolen from homes and cars, be used for some illegal activity and likely be used to threaten others, but your Precious will clearly not land in the hands of foreign terrorists until at least the second black-market resale.
You can't make high-risk populations pay the whole bill for their risk. That's not how insurance works.
In the case of driving you could say: "well then they can drive better". But that doesn't cover all the risk, whether you're too young, too old, or have a pet/kid/alcohol/disease distracting you this morning.
Nothing that a well-placed oil spill can't take care off. I'm tired of old clams leeching on the system forever and threatening my social security payments! Don't tell me he had taken an early retirement at 50!

Nah, that one is evident. $3B for a competitor with no revenue, after $1B for a competitor with little revenue?

It's just poor taste
Remind which which date we have agreed on for that bubble to pop?
Now that you've old and toothless, campus food is indeed perfect and the middle-aged angry girls look like babes.

Good, since it's hard enough to drill through 3 miles of water, you probably wouldn't want the hole to move 5km for every km you drill.
Sounds like we're going to need a reliable supplier of pitchforks soon.

Anyone else feels that any mistake would be like playing a giant underwater Mikado?
People spent less CPU cycles getting to the moon than are wasted every day on cat videos and facebook.
Where's my flying car?

That's why it's named like that. It's an evil lefty commie thing that the government should never subsidize, like Big Bird.
Well, the farm going to need a lot of robot-fixers, because a herding pen isn't exactly a friendly environment for optical and mechanical devices.
People here keep forgetting that if you get pushed for driving 10 under on the left lane, the other insurance pays the bills.

You're looking at it wrong.
Slow = cheaper repairs + less hospital bills
What else do you think they care about?
Hey look, there's something! I must figure out how to own or profit from it!
(yes I know, everyone did that at some point, not just the US)
I'm just hoping that, like Jeanne Calment, she had sold her shell for a Life Annuity to her lawyer.
