Hang on, before you start the 10% debating and and 90% trolling about whether you would kill millions to save hundreds of millions let me get my popcorn first
how could you save hundreds of millions? any nuclear salvo would be met by a return salvo. you could kill hundreds of millions and have your hundreds of millions die anyway. winning?
america sucks at how we treat our most talented generals. patton, macarthur, mcchrystal, petreus. all shut down by the paper pushers. its like the ultimate muscle-flexing by the civilian-controlled military. any time a military leader gets too powerful, knock him down a few rungs.
if the lead is coming from the local pipes in people's houses, then how come the lead poisoning started when they switched water sources? That sounds like bee ess.
If they need to buy potable water there is place they can get, its called WalMart! They have a fabulous nation wide distribution system, and the CocaCola company and others are ready and able to feed it with safe good tasting bottled water.
umm, the coca cola water is bottled from the tap at the local coca cola plant. Where is the local coca cola plant getting their water from? Hopefully not the same source.
Though the law will allow collective bargaining for drivers which are effectively on zero-hours contracts, any effect it has on current disputes as to whether Uber drivers are employees or contractors will be ambient rather than direct.
well, yes. a Shall would make it a binding agreement, which in the US means the senate would be involved, and in other countries means that there are other complications. I'm talking in general contractual language. it's not just a typo.
this is why the error is not just a "typo". everybody may have been comfortable with the "should", but the "shall" makes it binding. This is why you should always read the contract! A multinational agreement is much more serious than just clicking OK on a TOS.

Bruce Wayne: Targeting me won't get their money back. I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line.
Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand.
Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren't complicated, Alfred. Just have to figure out what he's after.
Alfred Pennyworth: With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Bruce Wayne: So why steal them?
Alfred Pennyworth: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
my hope is that the republican establishment leaders meat with donald trump at trump tower and the BS grows so massive that it collapses in on itself and forms a new star.
Anon's action are atrocious. The whole the basis of US govt is candidates say all sorts of shit, and the people decide which shit talker they want as their president. Who is anon to try to shortcut this process. Fuck them. They lost my support.
Personally, I think holding back science which benefits all of humanity for a financial payoff is a bit less unsavory that doing it for your own petty power struggles, but that's just my opinion.
which science is this? the type that happens in telescope buildings, or the kind that happens in medical laboratories? because that's the REAL benefit to humanity payoff right there.
There's a cost trade-off between the expense of a launch, and the expense of building a bigger mirror. That is, for the same price, you can have a really big telescope on land, or a small telescope in space.
what if there's an earthquake and all the mirrors atop mona kea break? and then earth loses situational awareness regarding ongoing activity in the universe? and aliens sneak up on us? what's the cost of that?
what i would do is use electricity from fusion power plants to power facilities to make more He3... the supply is limitless once you have the electricity.
why would you think that the moon has a lot if the earth doesn't? on earth the helium rises to the top of the atmosphere then gets blown away. wouldn't that happen immediately on the moon as well?

where are we, Britain? i hear even the football hooligans queue up before flipping cars and setting them on fire.
both patton and macarthur just wanted to make america great again.

such as?
you think i dont know that?

starve the beast! that's what they say.

zero-hours contracts? ambient? whaa?
uber effectively bought the robotics department at CMU. I think they're pretty serious about this.

why couldn't we just use earth helium?
