  1. can't be bullied or harassed on Humans Are Already Harassing Security Robots (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    a mere machine can't be bullied or harassed or receive cruelty, they are lower than animals in that regard.

    they can be sabotaged, interfered with, destroyed, vandalized, hacked....but not bullied

    eh, there really are experiments to see if for example antimatter has antigravity type interaction with regular matter. No such thing has been detected yet though. Also there have been experiments to see if there are other forces than the ones of the Standard Model plus gravity.

    wait till you get old, you'll find e-books superior. I can't focus on the tiny print in paper books for long. And the prices for the books I like are much cheaper for electronic version

    because this data isn't already redundantly archived under data.gov domain?

    this "news" is hysterical pants-shitting over nothing being lost

  9. pfft, unnecessary as info was already archived on other sites such as under data.gov domain.

    bunch of hysterics over non-news.

    Maybe more older people are wisely avoided sugared soft drinks and drinking the diet sodas but have the increased risk of dementia and stroke purely because of age.

    My father drinks diet drinks, he's 75. I'll let everyone know when the poisonous effects kick in. My dead grandma also drank them and she was cut down at the tender young age of 90 by the artificial chemicals causing fatal stroke

    this situation with La. coastline has zero to do with climate change, even the "rising sea level" cited as reason is not valid.

    yes after giving the prime causes, even that article mentions that *lately* climate change is also given as reason....without citation of course. because it isn't relevant at all next to the primary factors
