This seems pretty heavy stuff. I understand that bad actors could make use of this and there could be lots of conspiracy theories about why its in there, but is this level of control really nessesary for debugging or is it just for convenience or does it look suspicious?
Then you'll probably want to eat less animal meat.
However you may miss the taste of meat. The good news is that these days there are some very very good substitutes. I have often thought about performing a blind taste on some meat eaters to see if they could tell the difference between say a soya sausage and a meat sausage.
Why not try it for yourself? Wouldn't it be wonderful to discover that you can replace some of your animal based meat (or all of it?:-) with plant based substitutes and not notice any real difference to your eating pleasure.
I like animals and the idea of being able to communicate with them more effectively is appealing to me so I am listening to a copy of book right now.
I like it so far, interesting stories and asides. He does seem to hint at some sort of "telepathy" going on (transferring mind pictures is how me puts it) which some may find controversial, but well, as I say, so far I'm enjoying it.
Yes, but Issac Newton was right in his calculations to the degree that is required for (current?) space flight. So you wouldn't get far in suing his estate. They would have to argue that the some minuscule effect of GR would have saved the day. Unlikely.

Is it a case of "GNU dares wins."?
