    so let's not overreach, we don't want a dog misidentified as a person when there is choice to hit a tree, or hit a person or hit a dog. the solution is clearly to run over the beast.

  4. Re:Ailens on Should We Eat Invasive Species? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    we aren't using up any resource even in the short term. Helium? most of it just vented from natural gas wells, never collected. just a nat gas engineering problem. Potassium and phosphorous? 2.5% and 0.1% of lithosphere, just an chemical engineeing problem.

  5. Re:Where Is My Lunch? on Kiwi Genetically Closer to Extinct Elephant Birds Than to the Emu · · Score: 1

    plenty of ostrich ranches are still in business. and emu ranches too. Eight out of ten business startups fail anyway, regardless of what the business is.

    I'm afraid your research neglects a huge subset of the Talk-Like-A-Pirate word space, 'yarr' has 523,000 results

    not racism, just some harmless linguicism if that's a word

    no the mods not normal people, hand wringers with chips on their shoulder looking for something with which to be offended, with some BS idea between their ears about what racism is.

  12. Re:Very Bad Precedent on US To Charge Chinese Military Employees With Hacking · · Score: 1

    "unjust" is totally a subjective concept. "Your racial equality is my reverse discrimination racism", etc.

    Good names for taxonomy are descriptive, but you defend the non-descriptive useless ones, How unscientific.

  19. Re:advice to those who name dinosaurs on Biggest Dinosaur Yet Discovered · · Score: 1

    Fantastic news for you, the dinos are actually ancestors of our modern birds, not lizards. We're talking white and dark meat, drumsticks, breasts, liver, necks for soup, eggs.......the entire culinary realm of poultry applies!

    positronium is not an abundant element
