That's what I was thinking. My building is taller than yours, my truck is lifted higher than yours, my train goes a few kph faster than yours, and of course, your subject line. Besides that, trains present a single point of failure. They follow tracks or rails. For that reason their robustness is absolutely critical. This is why TCP/IP was invented the way it was, to break information into separate routable packets for fault tolerance. If we have 8,000 commuters stuck on a broken down train, which seems more likely given the complexity and extreme speeds, it affects far more people than a closed highway due to an accident (or construction) or a grounded plane. Far worse if the thing crashes or is sabotaged. I'm not saying never build them, but just that this rush to build faster, with such a competitive mindset, seems a bit reckless and more ego driven than necessity driven.
My question is, why is it suddenly a concern? The last I'd heard, the experts said the caldera is not showing any sign of blowing out anytime soon. Now we're suddenly worried about this?
Suddenly, Slashdot doesn't give me mod points anymore as of maybe two months ago, but I'd mod this up if it did. (Which is possibly why I don't get mod points anymore, but I used to) The bias and corruption of Lois Lerner and the IRS is not imaginary, they've been politicized. The Antifa comment is even better.
Video does a better job of satisfying attention-seeking tendencies, looking at it from the other side. Face and voice time are addictive, writing doesn't stroke the ego as much. It's the 15 minutes of fame syndrome. Likewise, I hate when I start to watch a Youtube video and the person blathers on without getting to the point or saying anything meaningful for 5 minutes; apparently they like the sound of their own voice. That and/or they're trying to inflate the length of the video for ad purposes. This is another nail in the coffin of literacy.
Then what would you suggest for someone who refuses to put their hands up, but keeps them in their pocket or behind their back, likely holding a gun? How many times have we seen that? Or someone who simply refuses arrest when it's just one cop? Is the cop supposed to shrug, say "you win" and walk away? That'd be great for the crime rate.
Their mice are mediocre at best. I won't use Logitech anymore. Cheap mice like the Xornet (I got mine for $14) is just as good if not better than most of their offerings at 3x or 4x the price point. Logitech is highly overrated.
I kinda feel bad for any kid who can't eat peanuts or even more importantly, peanut butter; peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are like a staple of childhood in the US and Canada.
So that unprecedented slew of ambush style cop killings between the time of Ferguson riots and 2017 didn't happen? You don't think that was a result of BLM and/or their rhetoric? It was just random coincidence, I'm sure. Way to look the other way.
Have you been in a cave? They're complaining about white cops and the police culture.
Have you? NWA was calliging out racist black cops in the mid-80s, and I am sure they weren't the first.
Check your confirmation bias.
Check yours.
Ambush-style killings of police up 167% this year. (2016) You think that's just coincidence? These assassins had BLM affiliations or sympathies. https://www.usatoday.com/story...
Not at all, that's a strange takeaway from my comments. I'm suggesting you're looking at only part of the problem, I'm not defending the cancerous part you are looking at. Would you suggest I'm wrong for judging violent communist vigilantes by their most extreme members?
Its in the same vein of the name "Black Lives Matter" which, in and of itself, doesn't actually literally suggest that non-black lives don't; yet some people seem to see or hear an imaginary "more" at the end of the phrase which isn't there. It's also imaginary for some to think all people calling attention to *all* involved parties in that violence Saturday are somehow giving the nazi's and white supremacists a free pass and defending them; all the groups involved have a spectrum of extremism and a cancer. I acknowledge Nazis and White Natl'l for the close-minded retards they are, but at the same time I don't consider Antifa or BLM heroes by any stretch.
Eh, no better or worse than violent communist vigilantes, really. Or racists that chant, "Dead cops now", and "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" or variants thereof, and shoot cops dead. Sorry, that last part WAS due to some BLM members and their denial of that is BS. Every group has an internal spectrum but the worst of them are about the same.
Perhaps you have not seen the daily spam seen here at slashdot? Some idiot(s) posts an "n-word" filled rant every day. They get modded down by users, but I don't know that./ does anything about it. I'd be okay if./ instituted a filter to block it because such rants make a good tech site otherwise NSFW.
Probably because those investigations were biased in only targeting right wing extremism, will allowing left wing groups like Antifa and BLM free reign. Either investigate them all, or none; extremism is extremism.
This: I forget which magazine it was now (HuffPost? Salon?) that actually had a pedophile apologist piece (that got pulled, I think?). How many people would even imagine such a piece would even be written and considered for a cover story? And yet that is the reality. Slowly the "stigma" of pedophilsim will be questioned in the "progressive" name of "understanding" and "love", and from there the slippery slope only gets worse. You watch, 10 to 15 years from now, it won't be fully legal but they will find excuses and ways to twist logic, perhaps dramatically lowering the age of consent, to reduce the penalties and stigma and fight, "hate". There's no such thing as a permanent line in the sand.
Not to mention, it will force all of it's subscribers to improve their IT skills since surfing the dark web is not as simple as pointing default IE to a site anymore. This will result in an increase in tech saavy racists, in the long run; I think it's doubtful many will just throw up their hands in frustration and give up that easily.

Those maps are often out of date or inaccurate though.
..of course they are ... what a world.
Gotta love the buzzwords. So much fancy talk, so very little meaning, like shoe polish on a dried turd.
They installed Microsoft Bob on their Windows for Warships 3.11, but no other ships were rendered as being in the room.
That's the point of AGW; it'll offset nuclear winter and things will be peachy.

That statement is so "dope". ba dum tish.
Stop referring to yourself as "cis"? It just creates more pointless divisions.

That's all political speeches though.
Well crap, I never even considered that happening. That'd be pretty horrifying. Draugr Dragons!
