No, they did not. The nobility could and did take whatever they wanted and there was no recourse. What you're spouting is a pipe dream concocted by academia to belittle today.
Ah, good. You just displayed the typical hype as well as indicated the source of his question: politics.
To answer your vague and innuendo ridden series of questions: as many as he wants to, higher than most industries (he does actual, physical work, unlike say, IT), same as everyone else in the area (you know, the waitresses, pastors, etc), as long as his health allows, same thing everyone else does after their primary occupation, something else. You seem to purposefully avoid that he has a two year degree, that degree being very most likely not so focused as to be specific to the job he's doing (much like HVAC isn't just for air conditioner repairmen).
When my daughter was young, we had a little exercise. During the commercials I would ask her "What is it you think they want from you? How are they trying to convince you? Do you think they're lying?" In time, that was the way she looked at all of them. Programmed cynicism.
But, isn't this a brave new world of relative values? Evil is as the meekest of us define it, yes? Much like having to put "trigger warnings" on college courses?
Snark aside, it's a low grade evil to bombard people with ads just as it's a low grade evil to bombard people with loud music. Purposeful annoyance.
The favorite part of my career was working in banking. Sounds backwards, as people often view it as so restrictive and stogy. We had development, QA an production environments that only touched through Control updating processes. While the first two were perforce smaller physical systems, all were software clones as far as operating systems and in-house software layout. I was development. I spent many an hour in high-level meetings arguing against my work mates that development had no business touching the other systems.
One of the biggest problems in current systems is that the devs think they should have unfettered access. This is only a prescription for disaster.
The goal posts aren't moving, machines just haven't made them. If you limit the definition enough, a calculator could be called intelligent. Even an idiot savant can do more than your examples.
Your argument about their being intelligent would hold more weight if you could point to a machine that could do all three and write poetry, paint a picture and carry on a viable conversation.
'Weak' is your argument. Humans can perform acrobatics that any animal on earth would envy. They can balance with the best of them. They have learned to ride the thermals as well as a vulture. They have learned to think far beyond anything the animal kingdom can muster. Too bad you haven't picked up on any of those traits.
Yep. I really pissed off my relatives years ago when my daughter and I went to Christmas at their house. I brought every kid two things, a flashlight for reading in bed and a box of clay. The kids and I sat around for hours playing with the clay while the sparkly toys just sat there.
It's both. When I ran the stunt show I was consuming around 3K calories a day. Now that I don't, I don't. Even if you're consuming 2K a day, if you don't leave you're chair, you will put on weight. If you reduce your intake, you may not be overweight, but you'll certainly be weak.
Just as bad.
Actually, I would have used the murder of that poor woman in DC by the police, et al. Over a hundred shots and she was unarmed and helpless in a car. Only one instance of police killing people for no reason and then hiding behind the badge of authority - and getting away with it.

Because of politics, not designs or capabilities.

First, we get rid of fuzzy math.
Hilarious. Dialect includes pronunciation. By your example "cah" is a sign of illiteracy, not just the way a Bostonian pronounces car.
No. I think banning is sufficient, but otherwise I share your sentiments. Cheaters are lazy, incompetent players, pure and simple.

Yes, the entire function of mute.

Not by half.
You mean other than the news that production has increased, biodiversity is on the increase and so forth?
And to balance that, there are clearly AGW manics as well.
Programming may be easy per se. Programming well is not.

While ranked funny, I'm on board with you. I have arthritis in both knees. Standing for any length of time is excruciating.
By picking out individual species you actually support his argument. He said most.

The car packing came after the Legos would be my bet.

The bricks alone are very easy to find.
That was humor, not a serious statement.
None of these are mutually exclusive. We should be doing all. Physical safety without physical defense is an oxymoron.
