    Yep, the living ones are far worse. Every single President in my life time has been worse than the previous one, and with Trump and Hillary as potential successors to Obama, that trend has a 100% chance of continuing. Makes me wonder how long it will be before we have the 2nd Civil War, typified by food shipment sieges against the cities, as urban voter idiocy now overwhelms rural voter common sense.

  2. As for what I think of the reboot- with this death time to reverse the story line of the original series and bring back the character of Kevin O'Reily, the Irishman that the Russian replaced in the original series.

  3. Well, he'll bring back jobs for illegal immigrants which is all he hires anyway.

    It will make more sense to de-orbit, then mine, something this small.

    Yep- further away than the moon and very very small.

    Still, would make a nice hideout.

  6. Who prints the money, owns the money. It's just lent to you for THEIR purposes.

    Also, currently, the IRS works *very very hard* to break up pooled asset organizations- like Catholic Monasteries- and keep them from being self-sufficient.

  7. I'm perfectly fine with it as a taxpayer. Spend your own money on drugs, if you want benefits drawn from my paycheck, stay straight.

    Yes. At home, where I have Chrome, it's easy enough to look for the tab with the audio signal (or tabs- gets ridiculous when more than one start autoplaying at once). At work, it's harder, because I'm stuck with IE due to corporate policies.

    I just dislike autoplaying video adverts for the audio. It's irritating to visit a text page only to have the advertising equivalent of "goatse" blaring out "I'm looking at advertising porn" from every audio port.

    Drink at home, visit virtual nightclubs in cyberspace. Zero risk of either AIDS or getting shot.

    Do you know how many people were killed by the Inquisition in Spain in 800 years? Now compare that to the number of human beings exterminated by Planned Parenthood in the United States in one week, for exactly the same crime: being inconvenient.

    Imagine is imaginary for a reason. Might as well go with the obvious fix- no drinking away from home, virtual cyberspace night clubs with no physical presence,.

    For every 7 people living on the Earth today, one was aborted. I make no apologies for opposing genocide.

    If one child's life is saved by being anti-choice, then I'm willing to be anti-choice. It's a small price to pay in comparison to a human life.

  18. Re:Circle Of Life on Burning All Fossil Fuels Would Scorch Earth, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    I doubt the Southern Oregon forest coal will ever be touched- got too many environmentalists in this state, and even then, the forest sitting on top of the coal is way more valuable to the timber industry than mining the coal ever could be.

    Just pointing out that coal formation is a few thousand years, not millions.

    Though, as somebody who appreciates Kalapuya Chinook culture, what little we know about it, returning this land to Oak Savanna and Pyroculture hunting/farming/gathering would be an extremely neat idea.

    That's one way. Other way- Coal or oil can also be made into plastic.

    Coos Bay and southern coastal range- ODOT ran into a vein trying to build a bypass on 38 between Elkton and Green Acres. They were trying to take the loop out of the road by going on the other side of the mountain, but the coal turned out to be a rather unstable road bed in places; the project went way over budget and had to be abandoned.

    But you aren't increasing the efficiency, you're usually coming barely close to matching the efficiency.

    Still, what it does is *decentralize the energy production*. Which is of course, bad for big business and great for small businesses and families, so it won't be done.

    Exactly right. I see a lot of potential profit in planting more food and in converting fossil fuels to building materials, both of which reduce our impact as a species while making a boatload of cash for somebody more visionary than the carbon credit trading idiots who will spend more carbon flying to their next conference than I use in a year.

    Why, given advancing technology in a variety of other energy sources, do you assume exponential growth in fossil fuel usage?
