HOW MANY TIMES have I told all you FILESHARING IDIOTS that your days are numbered and you risk civil and criminal suit against you.
You, Mister Anonymous Coward, have told me MANY things MANY times! You've told me that we are all cows, you've told me I should use your APK hosts file. None of it makes sense. Just stop making a fool of yourself!
This is one of the downsides to a craft-based technological society: when the creator dies knowledge goes with them.
I find it hard to believe that this artifact was developed by a single individual in isolation. It seems more like something that required a fair bit of history behind it, long term development of multiple threads by multiple individuals.
Ie this seems like just one product of a civilization and the rest of this civilization is missing from the historical and archaeological record.
I agree it's consistent, but how can anything in a CLI be called discoverable? Or do you mean you can always Google a rough description of a task you want to perform and find the right command?
American footballers are schoolgirls. Too soft to play without armour, too thick to follow the rules of rugby union.
Yeah right. But I don't see rugby players drilling someone at full speed preparing to catch the ball liike they do when American Football punt receivers are about to catch a punt (unless they call fair catch of course).
American football players are athletes! They run miles in training! They run for 6 seconds, have a 5 minute break, run another 6 seconds etc.
*Disclaimer: neither of these women were "attractive". The house rep was borderline fat with black wiry hair and from head to toe stunk of clove. My client is practically skin and bones with a big squareish face and short hair that doesn't compliment her. I didn't get off either time - though I will give credit to the house rep for doing her best with a clumsy hand job after half-suffocating me.
Just imagine what a drop-dead gorgeous woman could get away with.
Then think how low the stats are for female murderers relative to male.
about one-quarter of female undergraduates and students who identified as queer or transgender said they had experienced nonconsensual sex or touching since entering college
Why did you edit this important bit out of the full quote? The way you did it makes it sound like 27% of all females on campus have experienced this, which is not what they are saying at all.
so 27% of individuals on campus who either are or pretend to be female have experienced this. Interesting. How about the queers who don't pretend to be female, do they experience this as well? From other queers or straights or what?
If you look up the study, the exact quote is “nonconsensual penetration or sexual touching involving physical force or incapacitation,”.
The summary is brain-dead, but in a way that *understates* the problem, compared to the actual quote (which doesn't contain the word "rape"). After all, you're interpreting this as lower arms and shoulders, but that's clearly not "sexual touching involving physical force or incapacitation"..
What the study implies but doesn't say is that there is some location where non-consensual penetration or sexual touching is ok but that college campuses are not that place.
They need to tell us what the appropriate place *is*.
Pretty much what happens now. I guess if people fail to learn as kids, what they get as adults pretty much has to be a nanny state...
That, actually, is it.
In many cultures (eg the English speaking ones) children are so insulated from the realities of life that they grow up to be, well, children. So they need a nanny state otherwise their civilizations would go Lord of the Flies pretty quickly.
In other cultures children are encouraged to be responsible and reasonable and not indulged, isolated nor insulated. These children grow up to be adults. They don't need a nanny state because they are grownups.
And the fucked up part is, it doesn't even work. France has had draconian anti-cryptography laws (relative to Britain) for decades. They're not one of the Five Eyes; NSA has probably completely infiltrated and pwn3d every packet transmitted to and from France.
Actually one of the benefits of not being in 5 eyes is that if you are in 5 eyes you can't run effective counterintelligence operations; you don't want to stop the other 4 eyes from spying on your people.
So if you aren't in 5 eyes you can run effective counterintelligence and ANYONE you catch spying is stopped. Meanwhile over in NZ, if they find someone spying first they'd have to check that they aren't an Aussie, Canadian, British or US operation and once they've excluded that possibility THEN they can stop them.
Some poorer non-5-eyes countries have the added benefit that they have eg Russia and China BOTH doing counterintel vs each other and everyone else. Its like the 3 stooges trying to get through a door!
So... Until folks acquire a taste for grass fed beef, feed lots are where the bulk of your beef will come from. That's just based on what the American pallet will accept and the cheapest way to produce what we want to eat. There is not much else that's going to happen so get used to the idea.
The American pallet is so jaded, its really sad what passes for meat in North America, but its all that they'll eat.
Coming from Mongolia, where all the cattle and sheep are free-range (wolves are actually a problem and the cattle are pretty nimble) and the sheep you eat is mutton, not lamb (because killing lambs is uneconomical as you have had no wool nor milk from them), I can tell you from direct personal experience that the meat you produce in North America is almost completely tasteless.
Surely meal worms can't be any worse than what you guys already eat and call 'meat'?
Isn't most of the protein in a soy bean locked up in a cellulose matrix where it is essentially indigestable?
It takes a lot of energy (without a pressure cooker) to make soy beans edible. You soak them overnight, freeze them overnight, cook them for 8 hours. Then they are pretty delicious and digestible.
Its FAR more energy efficient to ferment them and thats what happens to 90% or more of the soy bean production in Asia.
Those graphs in that blog posting are from the USDA National Nutrient Database. Notice how many plants provide more protein per calorie than, say, chicken. The real surprise to me was how people think scrambled eggs give them a lot of protein, and they just don't. The frellin' Egg Council (or whoever it is) has effective advertising, I must say.
Cos people don't need calories when all they do is sit around all day on their arses pontificating.
the problem is that going veg requires you to be SMART and have access to certain plants
(you have fat B12 and 8 different amino acids to balance that eating a chunk of critter does for you without thinking)
heck as far as the moral thing goes eating critters that have not been abused covers most everything (and not eating the whole hog yourself covers more).
The amount of energy that vegans, or even vegetarians, put into figuring out their diet and making sure they get the right veges (including the ones that have to be imported because they aren't available locally) surely outweighs any possible benefit to the environment.
Is that why 90% of vegans are severely undernourished?
The whole "moral" thing is a scam too. Humans are omnivores, ignoring that is a falsehood, a falsehood is a lie, therefore vegetarianism is unethical.
Vegans who live in India aren't severely undernourished. Something to do with the food processing in India not being very effective at keeping tiny bits of insect out of their food...

I have some dark matter and hair growth around my bottom star. Strings don't work for me. So no.
Try swallowing a string tied to a strip of muslin cloth. That should eventually help with the dark matter thing.
Windows 7 *is* provably better than Vista.
But its like being beaten with a metal pipe and then being beaten with a leather belt. The belt sure feels better. And its provably better too!
You don't just make one of these out of the blue then throw away the tech you developed.

Knives are much more likely to be used as they are silent and don't attract a lot of attention.
Can you get us the stats for knife related homicides in Texas?

I enjoy fried mealworms as replacements for salty snacks, like any other pop-and-crunch food covered in chili powder.
This is freaking awesome. The machine is ingenious.
I bet my son would love to take these to school for snacks!
That's more like it. Feed the worms to the chickens, then I'll eat the eggs and chickens. Chickens go nuts for fresh worms and insects of any kind.
Chickens aren't vegans!?!?

Can you get some sexism in there too? And maybe something about gay people too.
Vegans like rainbow colored tofu shaped like vaginas?

How often do you eat ground cow? No, not ground beef; ground cow? Heads, hide, bones, hooves, guts, and all? You never have and never will? Exactly.
You almost certainly eat mechanically separated meat, which includes all kinds of crap and is cleaned with ammonia.
Just because an issue is "meaningless" for you, doesn't imply it has no value for others.
Theres the good old 'reasonable person' test.
