New Jersey, Pennsylvania (think Pittsburgh and Philadelphia), Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut. Of those, only Vermont is void of densely populated areas and a reputation for high technology.
If ethanol ceased being a mandatory additive it would not necessarily immediately stop being included in gasoline at the pump. Farmers would stop wasting so much gasoline growing corn. Much of the corn used to make ethanol would then be available as food, driving down food prices and possibly reducing political unrest in Mexico and other countries. A big loss would be the ethanol manufacturing plants, quickly reduced in value to scrap: all in all, a good thing.
There are more non-cops than cops. If the non's can do 1 for 1 or better using the advantage of the knowledge of their own homes, and help their neighbors when appropriate, the usurpers lose.
Perhaps if people weren't required to work so much for their own livings we could reduce this compulsion to create problems where there are none simply to keep all the warm bodies occupied to some task.
Creating problems to maintain employment is a problem of large bureaucracies, particularly in government. Removing the requirement to do significant work in order to live well creates worse problems, because most people (in increasing proportion as time advances) will just not work. Then, either the economy collapses and/or slave labor ensues.
If they advertised "be the first person to hunt a wooly Mammoth in 10,000 years" they could be sued for false advertising. It went extinct about 4000 years ago.
Consider that this 2008 camera now has the ability to capture images that would surpass any camera available in the 1960s and probably '70s and many workhorse cameras of the '80s.
An 8x10 view camera built in 1910 can produce better images than any consumer-grade digital camera.
The camera could have been designed with no ability to accept updates or external software. Your religion of free software would have been irrelevant then: even if the source were known, you'd be unable to apply any changes to the camera.
Canon is quite forward-thinking in allowing the software to be changed.
On a related note, Canon has invested a great deal of time and money optimizing the de-Bayering of the RAW images. No free algorithms to post-process pictures combines the sharpness and relative freedom from color aliasing that Canon software yields. They earned their superiority, they have no duty to provide it to childish whiners like you.
"Wild pets" is an oxymoron. Trying to make sense of the phrase, there seems to be two possibilities: animals taken from the wild and tamed, domestic animals out of human care. The former would seem to have a relatively easy and pleasant life. The latter, not being trained by wild parents to survive, would have a tough time of it.
HIV and AIDS are believed to have been transmitted to humans from monkeys. Unless that transmission came from monkey f**king, it came from eating monkeys, which is known to be practiced in Africa. Human cannibalism carries the risk of HIV/AIDS, just as sex does.
Because the news that PETA kills a far higher percentage of the animals it receives than ASPCA, for example, is not widely publicized.
Because PETA is the darling of the bleeding-heart liberals, assumed to value all living things except humans.
WBZ in Boston had a regular program of testing their backup generator. When the Great Blackout of 1965 came along, the generator started up automatically and ran just as planned -- for about a minute. They'd used up all their fuel in test runs.
The town I live in has no debt of any sort, and to the best of my knowledge never has. We build up funds dedicated to anticipated future expenditures, and spend nothing we don't have money for. Relatively speaking, it's a rather poor town, not being well situated for industry, nor attractive to tourists, nor near enough to major business centers to be a "bedroom community": so the tax base is small, through no fault of policy. Yet we don't steal from our children by saddling them with our debt. If we can do it, so can others.
Other things being equal, debt is bad, the product of deliberate short-sighted greed.

Grow up, jealous person. It takes a lot of effort, drive, and skill to do this sort of thing.
You contradict yourself.
And your conclusion does not follow from your suppositions.

It's pretty much guaranteed that whoever NYC elects will be an embarrassment. Different voting technology won't help.
It's too easy to make a mistake with a marker, and then have to get a new ballot. It's too easy to spoil the ballot.
You say that as if it were a bad thing. And you cite the New York Times as if it did not have a century of treason in its past.
The coward dies a thousand deaths.
It is not possible to prevent "weaponizing" of sufficiently radioactive material.

Copper is an essential nutrient.
The COMPOSE window is now tiny and can't be resized. What the hell is wrong with you guys?

No need to relabel the dog meat, they have a ready customer in the White House.

Ethical animal-care organizations don't accept animals they can't care for without making it abundantly clear that they're going to kill them.

The contract called for 12 gauge steel. We ran out, so we gave them 10 gauge, which is stronger. And now they're complaining! [joke].
