  1. Cheaper still to do it in Arizona. If you don't believe me, ask NASA.

  2. We have 10% of the gun homocides you do.

    Is that the origin of the Monty Python sketch where they keep shouting "No poofters"?

  3. He made a bomb threat -- joke or not.

    If anyone made a threat, it was the asshat who reported him.

    Are you saying that because people don't always have 100% perfect knowledge of what other people are doing, they shouldn't be allowed to share information with each other?

    You know it doesn't work like that. The list doesn't display probabilities.

    Of course people should be allowed to spread imperfect information. And they should be fully answerable for it if it unfairly damages someone's reputation.

  5. Fair point, but economists don't tend to fuss over the magical/mystical aspects much. Cr butter is all they see.

    They're a dour bunch. Some might even call them dismal.

    So you don't think it's possible for an innocent person to be put on the list (or any list) either through accident, incompetence or malice?

  7. Is this just African Americans or would you like to include Muslims and/or Hispanics in your racist comparison here?

    Muslims ain't no race, bro.

    Very interesting.

    Now, about those fries...

  9. What you cannot do is use butter and then turn it into guns.

    Of course you can. It's called trade.

  10. The Death Star works a lot better if the main purpose isn't to blow planets up but to threaten planets.

    You can't threaten planets - they aren't sentient.

    As for intimidation, turning the surface (and everything on it) to lava or turning its atmosphere to smoke would have the same effect.

    If cows have different brain architecture to bulls, then this research should be suppressed and the perpetrators hounded out of their jobs in case it discourages heifers from embarking on STEM careers.

  12. Well if it makes sense for sports stadiums, then it stands to reason it must work for datacenters.

    The problem isn't the negotiating, it's the unilateral modifications afterwards.

    I guess I don't recall anyone ever talk about money in any of the movies.

    "Republic credits are no good here". "I always knew there was more to you than money".

    That's without even looking it up, scholar.

    If you buy guns instead of butter, you cannot later change your mind and transmogrify the guns into butter.

    You can if there's someone else with butter and no guns.

    Yeah, that's news that matters.

    It's unknown if an expanding sun will push the planets outward into different orbits.

    Even if it does, I doubt it'll be a comfortable ride.

    Still, if I'm around to experience it that'll be a result.
