Oh, bullshit!
You would have me believe that the L-cysteine market is served by sweeping up the cut hair off the floor of Chinese barbershops, rather than say...oohhh, I dunno...the trillions of feathers from the billions of chickens that the US goes through every year?

But seriously, if you have pure O2 coming out of your nostrils, then something is seriously wrong with your respiratory processes and you should probably get back to Area 51 at your earliest convenience.
Mr. Andreessen's automobile suddenly developed a flat tire one night, immediately outside the strong iron fence that walled off the local mental institution.
Annoyed but resigned, Andreessen jacked up the car and prepared to replace the wheel. He took off the hubcap, unscrewed the bolts, which he placed in the hubcap, which in turn was resting in the road, and placed the spare tire with its hub onto the axle.
He was about to reach for the hubcap with its bolts when a speeding car raced by and, even as Mr. Andreessen jumped back for dear life, it ran over the hubcap, sent it spinning for two blocks, and sent the bolts flying in all directions.
There was no possibility of finding the bolts in the dark, and, helplessly, Andreessen realized he was standing there with a wheel on the axle, unbolted and useless. While he wondered what to do, a man from the other side of the fence shouted, "Hey, mister."
Andreessen looked up, surprised, and realized that he had attracted the attention of one of the mental inmates, who had been watching the procedures by the light of the street lamps. Andreessen said cautiously, "Yes? Is there something you want?"
"I just want to give you some advice. Look — just take off the other hubcaps and remove one bolt from each wheel and use them for that spare tire you have. The other wheels will be held by four bolts apiece and your spare by three. That will hold you till you get to the nearest repair shop, where you can get additional bolts and an additional hubcap."
"Great," said Andreessen . "You're perfectly right. Now why didn't I think of that?" Then, embarrassed, he said, "It's really amazing that, under the circumstances — uh — you could —"
"Because I'm in here?" said the inmate contemptuously. "That just means I'm crazy. It doesn't mean I'm stupid."
Bearing in mind that my "gaming computer" is able to run three 4K displays simultaneously at 60FPS, rip DVDs at 16x real time, process image stacks into ultraHD videos in less than a week and compile a linux kernel in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, I know which of us is reading the wrong website.
Yeah! Don't give us that thoughtful, nuanced debate crap! We want flat-out binary statements, black and white bold, simplistic determinations, otherwise who are we going to know who to shake our pitchforks and flaming torchs at?
Damn, that's some seriously flawed arguing you've got going there.
Escape route for the 1%. Closely followed by an illustration of the advances made towards expanding the target market "beyond the Forbes 400" and examples of families selling everything they own to move to the new world.
Question: How many Jay-Z's are going to be wanting to do that, really? Leave all the money, power, luxury behind for a precarious, spartan existence on a hostile planet billions of miles from the nearest private airport lounge?
Next: Movies, no matter how hit they are, are really, really not a reliable source for predicting the viability of anything in the real world. Doesn't matter how much attention they paid to the science advisor. If they were, they would be called documentaries and they would be show on PBS.
Third: 18th Century Holland, Spain, Portugal, France and England were not nice places to live for any of the people leaving them. That's why they left. Religious and political persecution of pretty horrific levels were the order of the day. Besides which, if the place was so nice, why were people so keen to leave?
Finally: For all these rich and powerful that are going to leave it all behind to go and attempt to survive spartan, tenuous existence on a hostile planet, who is going to be fixing their toilets? Jay-Z? At least some of the people who do the actual work are going to have to go with them.
Finally finally: If all the Trumps, Biebers, Shkrelis, Madoffs et al could all be convinced to bugger off somewhere else...sounds good to me!
So small, unregarded yellow suns in uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the spiral arms of the Galaxy is actually where it's really at. Who knew?

Fortunately, this clause may not apply in all areas.
Ah, yes, the beach-side villa....three kilometres inland and 159 METRES above sealevel. Such a good argument you have there.
Meanwhile in Australia;
Two thirds of the population will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70.
Over 434,000 people are treated for one or more non-melanoma skin cancers in Australia each year
Melanoma is the most common cancer in the 15-44 age group, and the third and forth most common cancer in women and men respectively.
Th incidence of skin cancer is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.
And this after massive public health initiatives over the last thirty years.

You forgot to swear by your pretty floral bonnet to end him.
Or a reliable backup system.
One of our senior management got hit by one of these, and since he had access all the different network shares, did quite a bit of damage.
Something over 37,000 files restored from the backups later and no ransom had to go anywhere.
But where were the survivors buried?

Not after you've covered it in solar cells, it doesn't.
So an agronomist can tell me if I'll still be able to grow wheat strain A at latitude X in country Y in 25 years?
OMG, that's so true!!! Just look at what NASA is sending to the moon now-a-days, compared with 1969!!
