Outside of suggesting increased dryness, they take a great deal of pain to point out how fire suppression is leading to vast increases in fuel, i.e. smaller trees, pines, brush, and other buildup, that used to get cleared out every few years by lesser fires.
Although in the 1970s, they started doing small controlled burns, they're still burning less per decade than used to be burned per year naturally. This is all from tree ring and other data.

I just thought up a test the other day -- government hires some "good" programmers. Person comes in with an idea. If they can implement it in less than a half hour, get outta here!
This may reject some very clever ideas, of course, but if they are obvious to implement, there never was much real protracted "years of effort" that went on to develop it, which is really what patents are to protect. Kind of how anti-theft is designed to protect a farmer's fields so he can safely develop useful things with legal protection against looting.
Presumably Lockbox deletes your half of the key when you sign up. (And burns their key storage HDD freed space?)
The NSA would have to demand unused keys beforehand, not knowing who might use them i.e. completely without warrant, which I think is a whole new ballgame they aren't engaged in yet (officially or legally anyway).
The purpose of the limited-liability corporation is that corporate liabilities stop with the company's assets and do not follow into the pockets of the owners.
Certain insurance companies (Lloyds of London) do not have limited liabilities because the owners back the policies with their huge fortunes, giving you assurance the company has the funds to pay out if necessary. Some spectacular tanker and space shot losses about 10 years ago got them into trouble as some people had to sell their estates to make good.

He'd have to eat two magnets in two separate events. The problem is they cling together from different intestine switchbacks, thus killing the tissue in the two walls by crushing closed their blood supplies. Pain and holes ensue.
tl;dr Allow users to adjust the compressed vs. uncompressed section sizes. Compressed goes faster, but rewrites a lot more and thus wears it out faster.
And the rest of Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. By that time we will have robots serving us sp it's all irrelevant. Bring on the robots as fast as possible.
I beg your pardon, my description vastly understates things. We are creating 160,000 jobs a month (need 230,000 to meep up with pop growth) and are dumping over 200,000 a month onto disability. A society that creates more on the dole "jobs" than real ones cannot be sustained. This is independent of Social Security obligations, approaching 2 workers per retiree already.
People will find things to do as long as government doesn't get in the way. Even good-intention regulation and licensing can provide a cumulative burden little different from a corrupt dictatorship where officials take bribes and kickbacks, which is what makes 3rd world places struggle, and why de Gaulle said Brazil was "the nation of the future -- and always will be".
All things considered, nations which restrict hours to 37 1/2 or 35 a week tend to have higher unemployment. This was done under the theory "so much work needs to be done" that employers will hire more to compensate, but the opposite occurs.
Attempts have been made to repeal those laws but are met with fierce resistance from people who already have jobs. It's the same people with jobs who resist other changes like getting rid of de facto lifetime employment after 6 months or a year trial period, also a huge factor in resistance to hiring, but popular with those already with jobs.
From a meme point of view, disproven rationalizations induce policy changes, which cannot be rolled back in spite of their harm, for reasons which have nothing to do with their rationale, true or otherwise.
Licensing, if it is to exist at all in a free societ, should be about competence and not restricting entry to a profession. Otherwise it becomes the age old tool of corruption where you know people and give kickbacks to get a license.

According to the Wikipedia page you quote, he was arrested for smuggling arms to FARC for use by rebels in Columbia against US troops.
Perhaps you wish to quibble whether he should be treated as a war criminal, or perhaps assassinated as a war criminal?

Not play it differently -- play a different game. Enormous difference.
They took the money promising one thing, and pulled the rug out from under the very people who funded it .
The best Mechwarrior single-player, IMO, was Mechwarrior 2 Mercs, a first-person 3D. While old, it was awesome.
In any case, that's changing the game. Many don't want it, end of story, they vote with their cash, and therefore you're wrong.

We are currently dumping 2x as many people a month onto disability as are going unemployed. This masks unemployment even more, by tens of millions.
While "pay the stupids to eat and shit" may be feasible in the future with robots, it's been going on for years now.
