The flat earthers will just claim that it's distortion from the curved window installed by the sphere-cucks to make the earth look round, when it is in fact
The Flat-Earthers won't go into space in any case, so they won't be seeing anything that breaks their world picture.
And frankly, who really cares? Their minor insanity doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not nearly as much a problem as the anti-vaxxers....
It won't even take displacing 10% of human jobs to create a massive impact on society.
Yeppers. Just like the tractor and harvester. Between them they displaced 80% of human jobs (farm jobs pre-tractor were ~85% of all jobs, now they're around 5%).
And now only 20% of people have jobs...oh, wait....
No, but I should. After all, taking your husband's last name is a tool of the patriarchy, and serves only to define women's worth by their husband's....
If that's too difficult for you to cope with, then try supplementing your diet with 20% decomposed plastic bags and get back to us.
I find myself curious: where did you find the "20% decomposed plastic bags" figure? TFA only mentions that 73% of mesopelagic fish had some amount of microplastics in their stomachs, without mentioning an actual amount....
Absent a source for your number, I've got to assume you're just scaremongering (IOW you made up a scary number to try to bolster an argument - your prviliege, but I don't have to buy into your argument just because you have a scary, made-up number)....
"arms" is vague and was probably never intended to allow individuals to own WMD.
Does the word "privateer" have any meaning for you? The Second Amendment was accepted as allowing civilians to own cannon-armed ships at a time when cannon were the most powerful weapons that could be made.
So then why won't the Republicans even entertain sane gun laws, such as requiring proof of attendance of a free class that teaches basic firearm safety, laws, and handling/marksmanship before purchasing a firearm/getting a carry permit, along with a yearly recurrent training covering those same topics?
I dunno, maybe it's that Second Amendment thing? You know, the one that has "shall not be infringed" in it? You do know that "requiring proof of attendance" is an infringement, right?
It's frustrating. Trump's fundamental belief du jour is military good, everything else bad.
Interesting that that's basically what the Founding Fathers intended with the Constitution - about all the Federal Government was supposed to be doing was handling the Army and Navy, the rest was left to the States.
Now normally this is just a slap in the wrist type of violation, because we were electing a president not a CIO.
Well, no. If any random Federal employee had done that with classified emails, he'd have been fired, as a minimum, and quite likely sent to jail. The government takes mishandling of classified documents seriously....
Half of mobile game revenue comes from just 0.19% of players. When you've got numbers like that something is very, very wrong.
And what, exactly, is "very wrong"? That 0.19% of players are complete idiots? Or that 99.81% are fairly sensible?
Personally, I wouldn't have been surprised if the "idiot fraction" were much larger than one in 500, and it doesn't terribly bother me that one person in 500 is dumb enough to try to pay cash to "win"....
Did you look at your link? A linear regression on the annual mean sea level gives an increase of 3.35mm/year. That's huge. Consider that the average elevation in Tuvalu, the whole country, is 2 meters.
So, a problem in 500 years or so, then? Yah, I'll remind my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren to remind their great-grea-great-great-great-great grandchildren to look into fixing things before they get out of hand....
By the way, the testing topic is linked to why I have doubts about the economic utility of the reusable boosters. They add a great deal of weight and complexity to the launch vehicles, but the costs of testing and repairing them for another flight are comparable to producing new equipment. I think it might be better to focus on ways of producing the new equipment less expensively for single use.
And yet, SpaceX manages to make money selling launches at a lower rate than anyone else. You'd almost think that your objections also occurred to them, and they worked out a solution....
criminals paying for their own judges and accepting punishment when they could more easily pay for 'friends' to help space their accusers?
Which criminals were those? The characters in the book were the descendants of criminals (sort of like Australians), not the criminals themselves (remember the phrase "new chum"? Those were the criminals, to the extent anyone in Luna was a criminal).
It should also be noted that both sides in a judgement generally had friends. Comes a point when you're better off accepting an adverse ruling by a "judge" than you are starting a small-scale civil war....
when did FB accounts become important enough that anyone really cares if their long unused account gets taken over?
Since sites like Slashdot started offering Facebook Login as a login option.
Not like you're required to use FB Login to/. or anything. From someone who pays attention to security issues, FB login to third party sites seems more like a nightmare than a "good thing"....

There is reason to doubt anything said by ANY government.
Fixed that for you....

Umm, First Amendment? Pretty sure you'd be running afoul of the First Amendment if you did that....
On several things.
First and foremost, did we encounter alien life HERE, or did we encounter it wherever it evolved.
In the latter case, I'd welcome it. In the former, not so much.
I find myself curious: where did you find the "20% decomposed plastic bags" figure? TFA only mentions that 73% of mesopelagic fish had some amount of microplastics in their stomachs, without mentioning an actual amount....

Not just no, but...no. And stop calling me Shirley....

And then a cable company will pull out of a State. That'll be another fine day....
"Lessens". Autocomplete is NOT your friend. Or literacy dislikes you. Whichever.

Yes, he thinks that most people won't care.
No, he doesn't think this. Unless he believes (as you seem to) that 40% is "most people"
Note that 60% not caring is "most people", but 40% not having $1k is NOT "most people"....
Same reason the USA had an Iowa class Battleship?
Or the Cleveland class cruiser?
Or the Atlanta class cruiser?
Or the Fargo class cruiser?
Or...Yeah, I could go on for a while....
So, they're arguing for censorship. Their privilege, but I'd rather have less censorship rather than more....

Because 140kg is a nice size for a small nuclear weapon. And 1000km is a nice range for hitting Korea and....
Your comment makes me think you didn't notice that this has been going on for seven years now...
IOW, no, what Wells Fargo is being nailed for has nothing to do with Trump being President....

No doubt. But when did FB accounts become important enough that anyone really cares if their long unused account gets taken over?
