Much like in an old horror movie I suggest a huge water tank made of very heavy steel be elevated to a height of thirty feet, filled with a few tons of water, and with the prisoner well chained to a large anvil like bed, the tank simply be dropped turning the inmate into a very thin person, about as thin as a sheet of paper. The water in the tank can be used on the lawn, the tank lifted up again and filled and ready for the next inmate.
Or one can take the cheap route and simply insert the barrel of a 12 guage shotgun into the inmates mouth and pull the trigger. A shotgun shell is probably less than one dollar, and I am quite certain that death will be both totally reliable and sudden. We can turn a complex and expensive ritual into a trivially easy mode of dispatch. And i'll bet no prisoner ever complains about the process.
I don't care whether it is on or off of the job. I have worked around people who got drunk at night or on weekends and they very had bad attitudes and also caused discord in the workplace I don't care whether it is alcohol or pot i simply don't want workers who are getting over a high or who use these items at times. If a test can reach back for months then so be it. I would not hire or even employ such a person.
Obviously this is a publicity grab for law enforcement. Why would you come down hard on the buyers and fail to do the same on the sellers? Funny how drug charges don't work that way at all. They murder the sellers and usually charge the buyers with minor crimes.
Local cops I assume are the ones who bug booths in diners and those juke boxes that allow you to select tunes from your booth but play from a central location are also rigged. I can't complain. Six well armed individuals got out of a car to rob the business that I managed. the cops were all over them before they got to the front door as they had recorded the scheme in a dinner.
I just have to say it. In our supposedly superior United States we can't do that. We are full of chowder heads that insist that natural energy simply can not work. You see we known certain things here. Solar and wind energy are no good. Socialized medicine is no good. Free college is no good. They all are no good becasue we are so superior that we are a pile of worthless dingbats.
My cable bill is $240 a month. I also have Netflix. Programming on cable is also in sharp decline. If cable wishes to survive they need drastic price drops as well as more investment in high-quality programs. Even the big hits like Game Of Thrones seem to have suffered budget cuts and offer too few episodes per year to stay alive. Meanwhile, Deadwood as well as Boardwalk Empire, could have made wonderful long running series. When cable gets a winner they need to make more of it instead of sending it to the boneyard.
Ok, so here is what to expect from the right wing. Those five islands have not submerged. You just can't see them because Satan is blocking your vision. Besides, you are not a scientist so who are you to tell me those islands submerged? It's just a scheme to cover up Obama's real place of birth!
Perhaps the European Union, as well as other groups could post a travel warning for Florida. Social conditions, the Florida legal system, jail conditions and a backward sociopathic governor combine to create a place somewhat dangerous to visitors. Palm Beach county, in particular, is a devil in the flesh. First, they made it illegal to feed the poor. Then they shut down a church that allowed the homeless a place to sleep. Then their county sheriff ran an exhaustive string of TV ads instructing the public never to give spare change to the poor but to send that money to the county who would take care of the poor, which is a huge lie. Then, in their ever evil minds they decided to bomb the public park wit loud operas from dusk to dawn to keep the poor from sleeping in the park. That park is important for the poor as it is on the water, with a breeze, that helps to blow away the swarms of tropical mosquitos as well as preventing heat exhaustion in our very hot climate.
Essentially it is the pigeon theory applied to humans. Don't feed them as more will come. Destroy their nests and they will go elsewhere. Harras them so they will be unhappy here. Only a county is a state with an evil, corrupt governor like Rick Scott could have these kinds of issues and decent people from foreign lands deserve to be protected from this type of system. After all, we might have to arrest a European for giving food to a starving child in the streets. Then that European might end up in a Florida jail with 20 people in a cramped cell and no air conditioning.
Arbitration should be banned completely as it is always a rigged deck. All court records should be wide open to the public at all times and conveniently and freely available. Much of the terrors that have come into play are a direct result of the right-wing budget cutting lunatics. For example, we see the VE diesel engine scandal spreading to numerous other car makers since the EPA did not have the funding top test vehicles and allowed companies to test and report how wonderfully clean their exhausts were. Now the defective air bag scandal is exploding and instead of one or two million bad air bags the US alone is looking at ninety million defective and even murderous air bags. Letting the light shine on every conversation and having everyone as well as the government wide open to scrutiny really is our only hope of creating a fair and just society. Right now we have innocent men rotting in prisons with states refusing DNA testing. We have prosecutors who have hidden evidence from the courts. We have prisons with men who are absolutely innocent beyond all doubt and the prisons refuse to release them even when instructed by the courts unless they "confess" to some lesser crime. This is done to keep innocent men from filing law-suits when released. Just how messed up can a system be before the stupid citizens are willing to confront the truth?
One can grow a bamboo forest in one year and the first five years that bamboo grabs carbon quite efficiently. At the five year point you need to harvest the bamboo as it no longer is a good carbon sink. But bamboo will tend to pop right back up and start sucking carbon again so replanting will probably not be required. Meanwhile, the harvested bamboo has numerous, wonderful uses such as making paper, thus sparing trees from becoming paper pulp. It can also make panda bears very happy.
If we ned government subsidies for gasoline and diesel we are looking at $10. per gallon gasoline. A smarter society would hand Tesla a few billion dollars as a gift to increase production quickly.
I have on numerous occasions ranted about exactly the same thing on Slashdot. It is not bad that people will be freed from work. But it is going to be hell on Earth if society does not accept certain very basic changes to accommodate that which is already happening. Yes, income will come from the government. taxation will be applied to the businesses. And a basic income will not work. The public will have to be paid enough not only to meet their needs but also enough to have spending money not needed for survival. And the funniest part is that only some sort of socialism can survive in a society in which machines perform all of the work. Whether people love it or hate it capitalism must to a great degree vanish as it can not meet the needs of society any longer.
And here is the ultimate crossover point. Or perhaps I should call it a toggle point. You can bet that machines can set up a business such that profits are used to increase the technology within the totally automated company. In other words, the great barrier is ownership. machines could own 100% of the company. And these companies could exist as some sort of mutual insured conglomerate such that if one company started to fail the other robotic companies would step in and get the business running smoothly again.
He can cause grief for the homeless and the like but he should know that many of those folks could care less about going to prison as prison can be better than the life that they have. And some are sort of violent to begin with. We'll see who wins in the end.
Smaller cabins, as well as bucket seats, messed up car sex quite a bit. Bring back bench seats and bigger compartments and we can again enjoy sex while driving. Bucket seats killed drive-in movie theaters.
If they think hot is bad they obviously haven't experienced heat and high humidity. I also wonder if creating lakes and canals might not be better than trying to build mountains. Or they could create waterfalls down the sides of buildings if they really want cooling and are willing to take on the humidity. They certainly have enough solar energy at hand to pump quite a bit of water to the tops of buildings.
Climate deniers are using the same tactics as the tobacco industry. The tobacco industry can still claim that tobacco does not cause cancer as many lifetime smokers never get cancer. So they can easily use the false logic that if tobacco causes cancer then all smokers would get cancer.
Yes, stopping the ruin of our planet and keeping people alive will be somewhat painful and it will tend to smack us all in the wallet. But how many have considered what kind of living hell will fall upon them if we do not fight tooth and nail to restore our environment.
And the first, and most vital step is to limit human reproduction. Pollution is a consequence of human activity. The simple truth is that lower population reduces human activities. With smaller populations we need less industry, less agriculture, less mining, less transportation and less of just about everything. And of all things, advanced technology requires a lot less human workers as well as far fewer people in our military. Yet we are so locked into our political foolishness that no politician dares even mentioning mandatory birth controls.
It is wonderful that more people are now realizing this is occurring. The realization of the replacement of human labor is a precursor to the reality that social and economic policies will all require an enormous re-invention. For example, the idea of creating new jobs is already somewhat of a dead dog issue. The idea of retraining workers for more current employer needs is also a bit of a dead end path. Right now the idea of handing people money not to work is perceived as welfare for individuals. But that will become untrue in the future. Since employment will be quite rare for anybody and money for each person will come from government, delivered with the intention that those who receive the money will support businesses turns the system on its ear. The new reality is that money given to the people is in fact welfare for businesses is upon us. In other words in order for government to survive taxation must fall upon businesses as people will no longer be employed. That leaves businesses as the only source of taxes to support the government. Meanwhile, the buyers will be supporting businesses and keeping them viable according to how needed or popular the business is with the public.
How can this be? Take a small example of technology disrupting a system, permanently. Right now your police department exists only because traffic fines provide the funding. Now we have robotic cars and trucks about to take over all driving. Those robots will tend to be 100% compliant with all driving laws. That ends funding for your police department. So just what can you do to supply the cash to keep your police department functioning? The elimination of salaries for police would be a start. So how long before we see computers acting as police? We already see it! Traffic cams and computer generated tickets are already common. There is already one computer that functions well as a lawyer. It defends against traffic tickets and it wins and wins and wins. Change is upon us already and yet the US public remains totally unaware.
There is quite a bit of real art in the design of a good gun. Part of the basic art is simplicity of design and appearance. In some cases even having a common safety on a pistol creates more danger than it eliminates. The greatest safety any gun has is in the skill of the user. In a way it is very much like driving a car. Some people violate laws and get tickets. Others can go a lifetime without a ticket. Gun handling is the same way. If you constantly follow safe practices, under all moods and conditions you will not have a gun accident. If you have times in which you do foolish things or fail to regulate your behavior than chances are high that you will create an accident. An old fashioned six shooter, with no safety on the weapon at all, can be safer than a much more complex semi-auto pistol with all kinds of fancy safety devices built into it. It very much involves who is on the end of that gun.
As a youth back in 1960 I built a radio broadcast rig and used it for only a very few minutes before cars with funny antennas and a helicopter started searching my block. I rushed to unplug the rig and get it one mile away and turn it on at a friends house for a few seconds to keep the searchers from triangulating my location. I was astounded at the speed at which there was a response. It is hard to imagine how pirate stations are able to exist these days. One way might be to run it from the back of a van that is kept in motion.
China is less restrained in problem solving than we are. I hate to think just what they might do if obesity officially becomes a problem. Somehow i picture youth being herded into fat camps where they labor and are forced to get into slender shapes. They obviously keep their military people in a very slim form by simply keeping them hungry and requiring exercise.
A person accused is not required to say one word in writing or with speech to cops or judges or to testify in any way in their own defense. So just how is it that any court dare to demand a password which may well further a conviction whether just or not? For example, a person might greatly fear that someone put child pornography on their hard drive or in their email. Compelling access to those items may send an innocent man up the creek. The needs of society do not hold any weight when weighed against the constitution. It is as if a court can decide that you are not allowed to use the 5th amendment due to the importance of an issue.
I would bet that at the very least our government has tried to infiltrate and not just Anonymous but a lot of software companies as well.
I will state that I am certain the recent accusations that Cruze is Lucifer is a lie. Trump is Satan and Cruze and Boehner are just wannabees.
If one gives more CO2 to a potato plant does the plant grow more foliage and also grow larger or more potatoes? I suspect that many plants will actually grow less of the desired part of the plant and more useless parts, in many cases. Grass like plants probably would do well with a bit more CO2. But we would need some serious science studies to get a handle on this notion.
We have a tree in Florida that is considered a non-native plague. The Malelucca tree sucks water from the earth like non-other. It can actually drain swampy areas and ultimately the rotting leaves and fallen branches will fill in low and swampy land. Yet they put so much water vapor in the air that they threaten S. Florida's water supply. But we do not know how much extra rain we can get by allowing Malelucca trees to sprout up over large areas. So far there is not any use for timber, bark or leaves from these trees that I know of but they are supreme water pumps.

I would think that if cells can not become infected that over time the virus might cease to exist within the body.
