    What communism? Where? You mean China?! LOL That's not communism at all. There's no true communism anywhere on this planet and there never has been. Only capitalism and totalitarianism in modern times. Do you also still think Russia is a communist country? To much Fox news and bad movies, dude.

    I'm sorry to have to say this, but you should have written this in past tense. That's the USA around 1997 and earlier. Nowadays you hear more and more people say "I wouldn't want to live there and there's nothing to see there, too." You're not just losing the foreign workforce - "new blood", you're also losing tourists. And when I mention foreign workforce I'm referring to Europeans that traditionally liked to migrate to the USA. Not any more.

  7. Yes, absolutely. Pong written in HTML5.

  8. We will have far more serious things to worry about than taxes when next extreme weather hits really hard. How about your home, food and water?

  9. That is true about CO2. But too much of a good thing is also not good and he is right about one thing - that you won't have farmland to farm but if the climate changes enough. Droughts and extreme weather changes will make farming impossible.

  10. Well I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine and it's every bit as good as Google. There are many different search engines, actually. I don't know why people restrict themselves to just one.

    Well, you should feel great as exercise releases dopamine. It is your psychological state that stops you from feeling great. Exercise is too much of a chore for you. Mind you, for most of the people it is a chore, but once you start doing it and especially when you relax afterwards it should feel great. Brain is just chemistry one way or the other. Maybe you suffer from depression and are quite unhappy in general.

    "Users won't notice". ;) Oh yes we do.

  16. Movie producers blame everybody else these days for their movies not making enough dosh, but the people who make these subpar movies. The whole philosophy of making movies for *everybody* is what's wrong with the movies in the first place. It waters them down. It makes them bland and dull. Blame yourself for a change, Mr. producer.

  17. Safe flight on UK Flight Ban On Devices To Be Announced (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    We can't have a plane blow up every week. It's just too much. I would simply strip people naked and put them into a cage for their safety. It's all for the best, people! No way you will be able to hijack a plane or blow it up! Have a pleasant flight. d= ;)

  18. I would just like to mention that happiness depends on the mentality of its residents, too. We are not all the same. Some people are just more prone to depression than others, cope with work differently etc. It is not just the amount of money that influences the level of happiness, far from it, actually. What I'm saying is that even if we all had the same government and wealth, the levels of happiness would differ, possibly even look the same.

    Exactly. They put loads of soy into hot-dogs and mix it with tasteless "pink sludge", then they add aromas and spices so it tastes good. My father was a butcher btw and he told me how they make various sausages. Sausages of all kinds are the first meat I stopped eating before becoming a vegetarian. People would eat shit with enough aroma and seasoning - that is if you make it taste good, and that's really not so hard as you think. I have a vegetarian sausage from time to time... no difference really, except that no animal died to "sponsor" it. Since the taste is the same and it's much healthier for you, I wonder why so many people insist on eating seasoned pink sludge.

    You won't see any GMO labels here in Europe because GMO is banned here. Whatever you buy here should be GMO free. At least in theory. I'm not 100% sure about all the countries in Europe, though.

  22. Yeah that's almost funny that you have to pay for cable and they still bomb you with commercials anyway. I've scratched my cable TV about ten years ago and never looked back. If they want people to pay for subscription they should have program free of commercials. However, I think it's kinda too late now as the streaming services are taking over.

    I'm pretty well versed technically, but one thing bothers me when you say "some [SSDs] might die". Why would there be such big quality differences when there are no moving parts? I can understand that some HDDs can die sooner than others due to having moving parts, but SSDs should be more uniformly reliable, no?
