The current population of human beings on this planet is unsustainable.
If that were true, then wouldn't the population be decreasing instead of increasing? It's like saying you are in a plane and you slow down to below stall speed and say the lift generated by the wings cannot sustain the weight of the plane yet the plane continues to fly. Until populations decrease, all the evidence shows that the population is sustainable.
The majority of the parts were fabricated on CNC and EDM machines. The technology there is not stagnant. 3D printing has been a thing since about 1977. The first machines used laser sintering of plastic. Manufacturing technology is pretty interesting and actually rapidly progressing. Where are these stories other than 3D printing.
Smartphones do things a tape recorder and a computer could a decade ago. I wonder if there's an app for that.
People were figuring out what was typed on a typewriter at least back as far as the 80s. I guess everything now done on a smartphone is new again. I can't wait for smart contact lenses can steal 3d printing plans by listening to the printer.
I was paid a lot of money as an engineer and knew a couple that could be considered wealthy even, though they'd been in the business for 50 years and owned their own firms. Maybe just the bad engineers don't make any money.
The average outstanding student loan balance per borrower is $23,300. Again, there is substantial heterogeneity in balances of individual borrowers. The median balance of $12,800 is roughly half the average level, which indicates that a small fraction of people have balances significantly higher than the median. About one-quarter of borrowers owe more than $28,000; about 10 percent of borrowers owe more than $54,000. The proportion of borrowers who owe more than $100,000 is 3.1 percent, and 0.45 percent of borrowers, or 167,000 people, owe more than $200,000. The distribution also varies by age group: for example, borrowers between the ages of thirty and thirty-nine have the highest average outstanding student loan balance, at $28,500, followed by borrowers between the ages of forty and forty-nine, whose average outstanding balance is $26,000 (see chart below).
Paid off house, no rent, full amenities. It's difficult to build wealth while renting your existence. And so what if it is poverty level, I seem to be doing better than most commenters on this website.
I live comfortably on far less than 1/4 of $74,000/year.
74k is $6,166/month or $209/day
At $5,254/month, I could afford this monstrosity in Encinitas, CA. All 470m^2 of it.
6 beds 5 baths 5,001 sqft
For Sale $1,499,900
Zestimate®: $1,763,445
Est. Mortgage $5,254/mo
A must see home in the gated community of Quail Ridge is the lowest price per square foot for an executive home in Encinitas--LUXURY and VALUE. This home has a chefs kitchen adjoining a huge family room opening to a peaceful backyard. Large formal dining and living rooms are perfect for entertaining.The Master Retreat features expansive bath adjoining office two huge closets and ocean view sunsets from balcony. Just minutes to the finest beaches best schools shopping and all that San Diego offers.
Astronauts are not suicidal. If you really want to know about this, read Feynman's appendix to the Roger's Commission report. Management was lying and they had a whole process built so that they did not even know they were lying.
I just looked up Grumpy Cat on Wikipedia. It says she was born in in Morristown, Arizona. Holy crap, I used to work there. It's like three trailers and a gas station. I'd be grumpy if I was from there too.
That's because there is no more interesting news. It's either a minor evolutionary change or someone "discovering" what was new 60 years ago, but fell out of disuse because people got bored of it.
We are still in an ice age. In an inter glatiation period unless something got redefined.
Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" (or alternatively "glacials" or "glaciations" or colloquially as "ice age"), and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in both northern and southern hemispheres.

It's like living in the 70's again. My only reason for living is that the 80's were pretty good.

The one in Brazil killed 21 people.
Why? How are they different from any other reusable aerospace structure?
But until Apple provides concrete evidence
Guilty until proven innocent.

Too bad Japan didn't get the bomb first, huh? The world would have been such a better place.

Cyberspace is a much richer and promising environment.

Yeah, but he is rated 5, Insightful and you are only rated 2. By consensus, you are an idiot. Get with the program.
Sadly it's not just /., but all of the internet, at least as far as I've gone. And I grow my own popcorn :)
. I simply don't give a shit about it anymore.
That's my position. Oddly enough, people hate you more for this view than the others.
