So you've turned the pollution into a fine powder. Now what are you going to do with it?
"Roosegaarde claims that the firm did get diamonds from pollution dust made, but as the process required so much energy it didn’t chime with the firm’s environmentally friendly ethos. Instead, they sell jewelry featuring little blocks of compressed pollutants."
Not a good answer.
Ship it to the US as a key ingredient in blackface? Oh wait...
Said 'Hate Meter' can even have a tattooing unit built into the inner surface where it meets the skin of the forehead.
Then it can be simply placed on the candidate and it will automatically brand 'hater' on their forehead after the measurement cycle is complete, and can be moved to the head of the next candidate.
Because, that's what people who use the phrase 'hater' to label other people want.
This is going to escalate fast, because of all the people who now hate the haters...
Hitler-like mustache, wearing a yarmulke or a Klan hood, have proliferated in recent weeks in hateful messages aimed at Jewish
That doesn't make any sense. Is the frog here the person writing the message, as in "what the frog says", or is the purpose of the message to suggest that Jewish love the Klan and Hitler, while being frog-like?
I think when your hair trigger sensitive response to things is to go straight to blaming things on SJW's and that social justice has become an entirely bad thing to you, you've lost sight of what matters. I have a strong dislike for the nonsense that SJW's do as well but you have to remember, we do need people who are aware of social destructiveness and people need to frequently push back on hate.
You better make sure its actual hate and not irony or dislike. Maybe you can invent some kind of 'hate meter' that we can strap to someones head and measure how much they hate something?
So if Micky Mouse starts getting portrayed with a hitler mustache, wearing a yarmulke or a Klan hood can we get him declared a hate symbol as well? Because I'd love to see Disney screwed like that.
Makes sense, so long as you're also willing to charge every employee of every telecom company as being accessories to terrorism or child porn distribution.
Well yes, every potential sex offender should go on the registry. Obviously thats the end game here.
Can you provide an example of someone who is NOT a potential sex offender? I'm guessing they must be, thirsty, shut ins or both to start... At least 13 states require sex offender registration for public urination, according to Human Rights Watch's comprehensive review of sex offender laws in 2007.
The sarcasm fairy really zoomed over your head, didn't she...
In a hundred years, I'm guessing it will be legal to make a computer program that lets you virtually have sex with, or murder, six year old little girls, or 500 year old dragons. Because like, that's not actually the same thing as hurting another human being. Oh, except that it hurts society that I didn't choose to join the army instead so I could go create some collateral murder...

and they can slap down some accessory to crime as well on you as you are helping people do stuff on the tor network by running an exit node.
Seriously, I am surprised they didn't get on the sex offenders registry. There seems to be a push to get as many people on it as possible, so people peeing behind a dumpster at 2am on the way back from a bar get put on the registry etc.
Improvised firearms are simple to make with little skill, see the Royal Nonesuch YouTube channel for proof.
The blueprints for the Colt AR-15 have been available on the internet for years, it's just that taking those and producing an actual firearm has been difficult.
I'm not so sure it's about the proliferation of firearms as much as it is an effort to control our society by denying them access to information. It has been proven time and again that ne'er do wells *DO* obtain firearms illegally.
During world war 2 plans for sten guns (submachine guns) were dropped to resistance groups behind enemy lines. They were incredibly easy to build, even without 3d printers and CNC rigs.
Don't be silly. They'll introduce a military equivalent of the H1-B.
Hey, it worked for Rome. A bit.
I've often wondered how single countries, such as Japan or Germany or UK managed to occupy such huge swathes of land and colonies given their population. Surely they can't have actually had their own national forces doing the occupation. So yeah they must have done some outsourcing!
I had to ask Gibraltar "immigration" for a passport stamp on the way in, and on the way out back to spain... well it was after 6pm so they'd gone home for the day, I just walked out through their vacant office back in to the schengen area. UK might not be schengen area, but you'd be hard pressed to find it fully enforced.
Maybe in Gibraltar.
I travelled from Eastern Europe to the UK by bus. We passed through about 6 countries but you wouldn't know it until it came to the ferry across from France it was like going to another country!
You realize that NASA isn't a capitalist institution right? Not that it matters as a private company would be just as careless, but your argument is off base.
wait, NASA isn't a corporation and not a legal person???
I used to travel to the UK quite regularly, in the 80's and some in the 90's. I would not recognize it now, in many ways. they have gone so far into the nanny state and citizen spying, I would never voluntarily move to england and I don't even really want to fly there anymore.
I was in the UK (where I grew up) for a vacation with my wife, who had never been there before and is from a former HARDCORE communist country. She was amazed at all the cameras and surveillance everywhere, even in the public toilets (she was shocked at how filthy they were, even near Buckingham Palace and having to pay to use these filthy toilets).
The most observed population outside of North Korea.
Before Brexit I had a hard time imagining living back in the UK. After Brexit and the vacation I know for sure I couldn't stand living there, and I don't know how anyone can, except the paranoid and stupid.
if a country needs to be in the EU to have access to another country's markets, then that is NOT an "open market"
What David Davis (the minister for Brexit), and many other English people just realised in the last month or so is that you can't make trade deals with individual EU member states because the EU is a single market. You make a trade deal with the EU not with France, Germany, Holland etc.
The fact that Davis didn't already know this, and he of all people should have, just shows how dumb and naive the English are regarding the EU.
it is very easy, freedom of movement is fundamental for the tech companies which relies on recruiting labour from the whole continent. This is unlikely to be possible without having to go through a lot of red tape.
Last time we recruited from outside the EU, the red tape took close to 6 months to go through.
The Schengen area and the EU are different things. Does Brexit mean the UK is backing out of the Schengen treaty?
What could possibly motivate a hospital staff to open themselves up to negligence lawsuits just so that they could... what? Torture a patient for jollies? Or something?
Before you draw conclusions that fit your tinfoil hat world view, please just spend even the tiniest moment trying to reason out why any group of people would behave in a way that defies logic, before concluding that this is what they must have done.
A single person can do batshit crazy stuff, yes. But a group of professionals working in a hospital? Nope. Not going to happen. There may be some bending of rules, some I'll-scratch-your-back-if-you'll-scratch-mine situations, but a group of doctors intentionally trying to injure a child? That doesn't happen. Period.
There has to be a liability issue here that we aren't seeing. Liability is the primary motivator of hospitals and medical professionals in the USA, that is to say avoidance of liability.
The hospital was likely worried that if they didn't do what they did they would be opened up for some lawsuit that their malpractice insurance wouldn't cover.
A lot of the crazy stuff that goes on in the USA is motivated by exactly this kind of thing. Like the diaper changing routine in daycare centers which involves sterilizing the table beforehand, washing the hands and putting rubber gloves on before starting, washing the hands and changing to a new pair of rubber gloves after removing the diaper, washing the hands after putting the new diaper on and sterilizing the table again. its more extreme than a CDC infectious disease lock down. Because liability.

At least with Debian, can't you choose your init system at install time? Or is that no longer an option?
I choose the distribution to meet my needs. I wouldn't allow the init system to dictate which distro I use.
Its moderately hard to choose the init at install time and requires some changes to the installers boot command.
Its easy enough to strip out systemd after an install and trivially easy to upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie without systemd.

Dude, frogs are a race!
Especially when you have an anti-hate group declare it to be a "hate symbol" which basically cedes the ground and lets the anti-semites win.
If it's even a thing, which I doubt it is.
Well Hitler was a vegetarian. So therefore vegetarianism is anti-semitic, right?

At 500 years old a dragon is barely legal!
I once knew someone online who said she was into food porn.
It was sex...using food.
I didn't talk to her much after that. I'm not even 100% sure it was a "she".
thanks for helping me remember that.
Asshole.
Was it onion rings?

Tor exit node = child sex offender.

Yes because an obsession with athletics led to what? An army of fat armchair football fans?
The only country in the world with less than 1% of its population considered fit for military service...
From some of the stories I have heard, Kindergarten teachers are happy if all their kids are toilette trained.
whoah wait! If you are from North America shouldn't that be 'washroom trained'??
I see you don't recognize that they're talking about kindergartners.
None of this is good for 5 yr olds.
But you probably have no idea about that.
I feel a little bit better about the future of our great country today
Only because you're fucking ignorant of childhood development.
I think I sensed the presence of the sarcasm fairy lurking around OP

yeah the placebo effect is why homeopathy works on spinal injuries.
