Saddam was maintained in power by the US and its interests. Saddam kept a lid on violence that threatened the stability of his country and his neighbors, not all violence. Saddam funded much less terrorism than the US. You're going to have to provide some numbers for that last claim, unless you're trying to claim the time periods of his power and removal are somehow equal (they are not).
Our setup (and the latest SteamVR) only track 2 lighthouses, I haven't seen anything that promises tracking of objects yet either, either static or in movement, though the puck tech would allow for that.
Diminishing returns, if a hugely expensive medicine will let someone with cancer live about 6 months longer (then die), or pay for 20 life saving operations, where the life expectancy for the patients you measure in years or decades, I am quite happy to chose the second.
It's not like insurance where the saved money goes towards buying the CEO a second yacht.
You have managed to encapsulate the entire reason I no longer live in the US into a few paragraphs, I only wish you were playing the devil's advocate, instead of being serious.
Nice that you're pointing out how the right wing gutting the NHS means that cancer patients can't get expensive, mostly pointless drugs.
Let's ignore the fact that they're just life extenders ("Kadcyla, currently prescribed to around 800 women a year, which has been shown to extend life by an average of six months"), and that the US healthcare system (insurance) probably wouldn't pay for them either.
They'd probably be better off spending the money to send these people and their family on a nice 2 week vacation, instead of extending their lives so they can feel shitty for a bit longer, and still die...
The US, and other countries have had quite a bit to say (and do) about coups in countries where their interests are at stake...
Stop acting like its something only russia does, and stop acting like it's a binary issue, especially since it's 1. not a Russian invasion and 2. the west supplies plenty of "rebel" groups with arms and training in many countries..
The new york times is a liberal (you keep using that word...) newspaper only in the US, where everything is skewed so far to the right that the center is what most of the western world calls conservative.
BTW, if you're talking about echo chambers, don't go throwing rocks as you're likely to break a few windows.
I don't think there was a conspiracy, just very poorly considered diplomacy, especially considering what little benefit having Ukraine as a trading partner would have provided.

No, I think he's pretty much unashamedly a racist.

Stabilizing influences, like Saddam you mean?
If your zucchini isn't adding flavor, you might want to make sure they're not made of plastic..
That's well after they developed civilization, and were able to chose what to eat based on factors other than "if I don't I'll starve to death"..
One of the many amino acids found in meat, but much less commonly in the plant kingdom?
The Gear VR2 sitting on my desk, and the multiple engineering builds of the rift I've seen don't agree with you, but hey, gotta hate the facebook.
Really? Most of my users are fairly happy with it, though it hasn't been rolled out everywhere. On an 8 GB i7 laptop it's running quite well.
No, actually it didn't, but nothing stops armchair dictators from getting a hard on thinking about it..
You are wrong about protein not being able to be converted to fat, just because it doesn't happen easily does not mean it cannot happen.
You've got that backwards, carbohydrates are basically complex sugars.
Because game engines for automated builds, that's why..
Way to ruin a perfectly good bucket of water..

You realize the cables that connect the headset to the computer are about 3 meters long?
The tech just isn't there to transmit that sort of data 90fps at better than 1080p via wireless.
That cable is going to seriously limit your movement, unless you carry the computer around on your back.

Strange thing is, the places where the drug is cheaper, there is sometimes more government control, sometimes less.
It's almost like government control has very little to do with it?

Cathcart's opinion is worth shit, he's an orthopedic surgeon, not an epidimiologist!
You ignore the possibility that they're just baiting their hooks.

Corbyn is against HS2 also..

Ooh, hyperbole, never seen that before on the internet.
