Well there'd be pros and cons to each way of doing it. It'd be disingenuous to have it broken down into 100 mL on a vending machine soda when most people will consume the whole thing, and if you were comparing instant potatoes to instant rice serving might be more helpful than per 100g. And when you buy fresh food you really don't know how much sugar or fiber are in a banana versus an apple or broccoli stalk.
Maybe beneficial if you had some strong selective pressure to help ensure the individuals that ended up with the 'bad' genes got weeded out. I suppose if the epidemic continues the isolated rural communities will become resistant to opioid poisoning and aversion to developing depression but they're not going to develop super strength.
It may be more important that your diet suit your genetics and flora than that it conform to any particular diet fad. It may be an urban legend, but my understanding is that Native Americans generally don't tolerate a diet high in saturated fat as well as Europeans, for example. Glucose tolerance and intolerance would be another example.
The idea that all you need to do is eat well is pseudo religious. Of course eating well is a good idea, but thinking that the key to your longevity is in your conscious control is a coping mechanism against existential dread as much as a belief in heaven is.
Home electrical isn't too hard if you get a book. Sure, the number of different ways you can do a 3 way switch is boggling at first but just run everything power to switch and don't worry about using some extra wire. Back on topic, yeah when wiring my basement I put in a power outlet with USB ports on it but also went ahead and bought a spare regular outlet since I'm doubtful of how long it'll work.
That's true for bulk treatments. I think any genetic modification is going to be so niche by necessity I'm not sure how you'd be able to make any of them at scale.
Bank some gametes for the subject and worst case scenario they get cancer. Now that isn't great, but if it is better than no treatment for whatever disorder they have I'm comfortable with them being allowed to make an informed choice.
That's too small. As a dystopian despot, what you'd really want to do would be take the pacifying cocktail and put it in a flu virus, immunize your elite subpopulation (may as well pacify your own proletariat) and drop it on everyone else.
I may be misremembering from when I was in school, but I recall that labor was the biggest cost at the fast food places I worked. The food itself was about a dime per meal, and most of the cost of a drink was the paper cup. It could go upside down pretty quickly if there was a big sports game on and foot traffic dried up during what was normally a rush.
It can be kind of fun if you go to a niche store instead of Kohls or Best Buy. My in-laws used to live near a Rockler and so when we visited for Thanksgiving we'd go stand in line briefly on Black Friday and share woodworking hobby talk with the fellows in line before being let in and given "random" gift cards. (I'm not so sure they were random... my wife always got the minimum $10 and I seemed to get a bigger one based on how long I let the beard get that year.) So we'd get some supply or kit doorbusters to make into Christmas presents and then I'd treat myself to something with the gift card. But yes you'd have to be insane to camp out at Walmart.
I certainly buy fewer AAA games, but not all of them are too bad about this. The latest Doom was trying to convince me I wanted to buy some packs of some kind for multiplayer but it was too fun in single player for me to even bother.
I'm not so sure this argument holds anymore. AR15s aren't any more useful than hunting rifles if the government is drone bombing us in some insurrection. The idea that small arms could protect us from tyranny is quaint.
That's my plan... I haven't seen it anywhere official yet, but if Netflix really bankrolled most of the show for the world rights I'm sure it'll be on in NA once the first run is over with.
Probably good job prospects, just wait for whoever did work on Duterte's house to submit a bill and once they get machine gunned down as a drug dealer then a new job opens up!
Well you could try, but how long until the AI is made able to complete the captchas or uses a randomly tweaked version of Siri's voice or a recording of the operator to answer the verbal confirmation? Then to get around the instantaneousness you run multiple instances, babysat by the sorts of people that work in call centers running scams.
The media optics of Joe the Auto Worker won't be able to turn a wrench to put food on his table is different than Lord Viper Scorpion's MS Access database got wiped and he won't be able to buy another video card on Tiger Direct.

200 generations is still a pretty long time for humans, from a "ongoing research protocol" standpoint. Hard to suss out 3000 years of breeding.
I guess if we replace them with automation then it all works out in the end, without having to resort to needle snakes and gorillas.
Well you will probably still have the occasional billionaire with an axe to grind pop up.
Yeah but you can gang it with a switch and not worry about it.

No, but price for what you get is more for fast food than cooking it yourself.

Who is going to buy this new hardware? Seems like people dragged their feet just to bother to get HD OTA, let alone something else.

It isn't like CBS or HBO would have enough stuff that you'd want to subscribe year round.

Is that true, though? Does Trump even acknowledge climate change? I'd be shocked if he wasn't just being partisan or ignorant.

This reminds me of the humorous PSA where some teenage boys are offering free mammograms...
