That's what you are saying. We should temporarily ignore the thing that is killing coral and creating dead zones larger than entire states in the gulf of Mexico and other river outlets into oceans around the world.
#1. Don't tell me what the fuck I'm saying. I know what I'm saying. You can ask if you're understanding my point correctly.
#2. I was saying the exact opposite.
I am saying "deal with the small shit like crap in sunscreen. That's an easy quick fix". I was responding to the idiot that claimed that changing sunscreen was such a small effect it was pointless. All the small effects add up. If we fix them we end up fixing a lot.
To your arm point: Don't be an asshole. I specifically said "If you start with a scratch and don't tend to it, it can turn into a big problem." I didn't say "ignore the missing limb". Not every analogy is perfect, but I think I did a good job of making my point. You lose points for reading comprehension and having a stick up your ass.
although I guess if it were truly "stable" there would be no updates and no reason to.
Right, 'cause patches/updates aren't ever about security. You're setting the bar way too fuckin' high, pal.. Programmers can't anticipate every possible attack vector. The only way anyone could release software that was 100% secure would be if it was coded by God himself.
Who would have predicted the heartbleed attack? Well, securing against that shit required updates/patches..
Who gives a shit if an OS runs with 100% uptime if it's as penetrable as a hooker's pussy?
Just because something has a small effect doesn't mean it should not be treated. If we tackle all the small components it will eventually add up.
It's like when you get a small cut or abrasion.. It's small. No big deal.. But if you don't tend to it, there is the possibility it can get infected.. That can kill you..
i.e. Tackle the small problems first.. Then you can tackle the big problems down the road when you can.. But you don't just stare at the huge problem and say "Too big.. Me go home now"...
I'm a pretty strong conservative, but I don't see a lot of this as being liberal/conservative.. I like nature. I like visiting it on the weekend and maybe killing some shit and then eating it.. But I can't do that if we don't have a fucking nature in the first place..
Holy rabid fuckcakes.. You need to calm the fuck down.
Listen asshole, DDT was a thing.. It was great at killing bugs but it fucked up entire ecosystems.. So we banned it..
Lead in the gasoline.. Lead is a natural element.. You can go dig that shit up.. Turns out, though, that if you burn that crap or make plumbing out of it, you end up with some pretty nasty shit building up in your bloodstream that turns kids into drooling retards.. So we banned it.. Less retards..
Maybe this shit is killing the reefs.. If it is, and we can find an alternative, maybe we should switch to that alternative.. Same UV protection, no dead reefs.. Win/Win.
It's amazing how inventive people can get when presented with an obstacle.. Can't use this type of sunscreen? Then we'll invent a new one....
If you take a drum of poison down to the beach and dump it into the water, dead shit is gonna float up.. The end may be that it is diluted into the entire ocean, but at the moment it hits the water it's being diluted into whatever small volume it's in.
What the fuck are you talking about? You don't think the patent holder would sell products made from this? If nothing else one would have to be a fool not to license it.... Patents have a purpose.. To make someone money.. The frequency of patents being purchased to be shelved is probably not nearly as much as you think.. What's the competition to ice-free wings? That shit they spray on to melt it at the terminal? Patent on that crap expired long ago.. Competition in that industry.. But a coating you spray on 1x every 10 years? Yeah, they'll own the market.. Billions of dollars.. Every plane on Earth is a potential customer..
If only it worked that way. A CEO somewhere will give these guys an award and maybe a small bonus. The CEO will get 100x that.
The statement was "make some people extremely wealthy". In case #1, a CEO is a people, so it'd still be accurate.
Case #2: You apparently don't understand how corporations work....
Maybe they didn't have sufficient start up capital to leverage the data effectively.
Very good point... The data just says which stocks to buy.. It doesn't provide you with the money you need to buy the stocks initially and most of the stocks probably aren't swinging around wildly.. A few points in one direction or the other, I would guess, after this SEC stored data was made public.. I suppose it's possible that some stocks could generate significant profits, but that's if you can afford to buy enough of them initially..
Gotta admit, it's a pretty impressive scheme. Probably going to be low priority for law enforcement since the victims are mostly just faceless bank accounts, retirement funds, and related financial instruments.
What are you talking about? The original statement was "People are going love that racket buzzing over their houses all night long..."
Then someone else said "blah blah blah, airspace not theirs"
I'm not going to dispute your statement that the FAA gets to regulate things going through the air.. But, the SCOTUS outranks the FAA and if they say you own up to 83 feet, you can bet your ass that's how it is.
So, if you fly your drone 1 millimeter below 83 feet above my property I'm gonna shoot it down 'cause you're trespassing. Drones above 83 feet aren't going to be horribly loud.. Audible? Probably.. But the FAA can address that as they see fit. They get a few tens of thousands of phone calls you can bet your ass they'll issue a policy change..
No. It's not a full fence in all of my area... It's 3 strands of fucking barbed wire... I just said that. There is a lot of full fence, but once you get east a bit it's 3 strands of barbed wire.. when there is actually anything at all. In some areas someone (smugglers?) has removed entire sections of the barbed wire entirely.
An hour? This is the problem.... You're flapping your gums and you don't have a clue what you're talking about.. There is no part of the border, in this area, that is an hour away from CBP. 10 minutes max.. There are substations all over the place and the CBP has helicopters and motion sensors..
You remember the Berlin wall? I'm gonna assume no, because you're a millennial or something.. There used to be this wall around Berlin.. It wasn't 100% effective at keeping people in, but it did a pretty damn good job. Well, this wall would be like that.. But instead of keeping assholes in, we'd be keeping assholes out. Won't be 100% effective, but it'll probably do a decent job. Top it with concertina/razor wire and it will be a deterrent to a lot of people.
Anyhow, I'm done responding to you. I live near the border, I can see what's going on with my own eyes. I'm not having a border debate with some asshole who probably lives in the middle of the country.
Yes, some parts of the border fence aren't built out yet.
This... more than anything... It's been FORTY FUCKING YEARS that those parts have been open... Just walk across... la dee dah.... If you don't get that..... I don't know what to tell you.
The language of the law says operators of ALL "unmanned aircraft", no matter how small or inconsequential, must get a certification, and register the "aircraft".
No.... WTF? The law says.55 lbs (slightly over 1/2 pound). That is not "no matter how small". It's "most drones", but it's not all. Small and inconsequential ones are specifically exempted...
What is a border "wall" (who the fuck knows what it would be) going to do that the border fence isn't doing?
Well, for one thing the "wall" won't be 3 fucking strands of barbed wire.. I know of several places where there isn't even the wire... Just open air.. The wall slows the people down at the very least.. You either have to climb over it or tunnel under it.. Neither is as fast as simply running past it. This gives CBP time to react.
Simple illegals aren't tunneling under the fence.. That's the domain of traffickers (drug and human). Couple the wall with vibration sensors and digging under it gets more difficult.. Sure it'll still happen but they'll still be able to catch some of the people.. Anything that makes sneaking into the country more time consuming and difficult can be added to the multi-layer approach.
You could not be more wrong.. The United States Supreme Court ruled that you do OWN the airspace above your property to 83 feet. The FAA said 500 feet... So the 83 to 500 ft chunk is still in debate, but it's at least 83 feet for sure..
I'm for both! It's not either or.. Give me a wall/fence/whatever AND employment verification... You know damn well that security is a layered approach.
Actually, the polls were conducted by various companies that poll the public regularly on issues. They have gained a reputation for accurate polling. I looked at the questions posed they were no leading. You dismissing polls the just saying you don't agree with them so it doesn't matter.
I asked the demographics. If you're asking people in LA what they think about a border wall, that's a lot different than asking people in San Diego, which can be a lot different than asking people who own land that touches the border..
I CAN SEE THE ILLEGALS WITH MY OWN EYES. THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM SNEAKING IN.
Come on down and take a look. Quit it with the appeals to authority. I'm suggesting the perfect way to make an informed decision. Come down and look at the fucking border. Fuck your polls..
Low does not equal zero. We're seeing plenty of them here in San Diego County.
Excellent anecdotal straw man argument. Well done.
You say there are no illegals, I see them with my own eyes. It's not a straw man. I don't know what polls you are reading or how accurate they are (I'm gonna assume you didn't vet them) so I'm going to dismiss your appeal to authority out of hand. I can conduct a poll too. It's called speaking to my neighbors. Some oppose the wall and a some favor it. I don't know the ratio, but It's certainly pro-wall. I'm not going to claim 4-3 or 3-2, but the majority favor a wall. Maybe things are different when a person actually owns land that borders the border. I can see people who live 2-3 miles inland being more lackadaisical about it. But the folks who actually have illegals sneaking through their property at night are much more pro-wall.. We've watched the failure of the immigration system for the last 40 years.. Constant streams of illegals sneaking into the country...
Ha! You think they banned plastic bags? They did no such thing.. You can still get plastic bags, you just have to pay $0.10 for each one (or bring your own). The $0.10 are mandated to be a certain thickness too. By the way, that thickness is significantly thicker than the average bags that were in use prior to the new law. So, more plastic in each bag...... The bags might last a bit longer, but they're still plastic and still prone to ripping.. So they go in the trash.. 100% of them will hit the trash at some point. More plastic in the landfills now...

I'd argue murder is literally worse than stealing money via insider trading, but then again I know what the fucking word literally means.... *shrug*

In what way is a border wall infringing on our freedoms? I bet you have a door on your house.. Criminals can come in the window, but doors help too.
I was speaking to the situation in California after the GP tried to claim CA banned plastic bags.. They didn't.. They banned FREE plastic bags.
The numbers say otherwise. It's at 20 year low.
