That and a lot of other things are mentioned in that link I gave. I suggest you look at it.
Over a year before Bill leaves office
So a halt for close to a couple of years is the same as missiles every few months since plus atomic fucking bombs being detonated?
Besides it wasn't really Clinton doing the work but instead of bunch that were mainly military. Powell was set to finish the job but then baby Bush decided to pretend to be "strong" and absolutely fuck everything up. Could it have been solved? Maybe, maybe not, but now that we decided to step back and decide to leave N.K. alone and let them build the bomb there is no going back.
You just keep believing that poverty == crime. It's bullshit
Of course it is but that's not what the poster above wrote. How about being a good little boy and look up the word "correlated" instead of shifting goalposts by putting words in other people's mouths.
A bad credit score often indicates that someone is disorganized, dysfunctional, and likely dishonest
Or financially supporting someone like that. Have kids or pay attention to those who do have kids or take a look at people in relationships with someone other than the perfect prince/princess and you'll find a few people who have had to dig deep to get others out of holes. Besides, these days having credit so bad that only Russian banks will lend to you is a sign of being good enough for the top job in the nation.
The problem seems to be partially systemic in the way Airbnb works
It's kind of obvious. If you have an ad-hoc unprofessional arrangement things like this are going to happen.
It's one thing letting strangers into your workplace. It's a very different thing letting strangers into your home, and unless you are very prepared for it like those of old who used to rent out rooms then an emotional shitstorm is likely to happen when somebody treats your place like a cheap motel. The business model of it being like online motel bookings contributes to this.
Not quite but close. Then the "axis of evil" speech happened and it all went to shit. Maybe it would have gone to shit anyway, but by 2006 they were setting off nukes. Personally I think an approach other than Bush's of insults and perpetual vacation would have had different results.
Here's what happened as a list of events from someone far more careful to avoid bais than I. https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/dprkchron
After the reboot, having kirk and spock looking longingly at each other and Uhura emerging as a the true power in the ship
Weird and a waste of time on every level IMHO. In the original Uhura, Scotty and so on were all awesome at what they did which is enough for everyone who doesn't want to put their "mark" on the story by adding an unlikely twist. To me it seems like stuff that would have been hounded out of fanfiction ended up in the recent movies.
I should have added this link to the other post. Look at the background picture. That is how easy lithium is to mine. http://www.talisonlithium.com/...
I mean didn't anyone on the team that developed this thing watch The Andromeda Strain
While his stuff was often entertaining the Doctors with Nukes guy was not really up to speed on science in general at the time it was written and things have moved on somewhat since then.
If the asteroid has albino gorillas with stone ping pong paddles then it's time to dust off Dr Mike C, but otherwise it's very safe to assume that everyone involved in the project has a bit more of a handle on what is going on than he every did.
Two or three "scientists will kill us all" stories are fair enough - dozens and it starts to look like pushing an agenda. Add in the "greens will kill us all" thing and it's just weird.
But the US doesn't really have the same distribution of available sites that are useful for utility-grade geothermal.
With long range HVDC power transmission going in all over the place it's not really going to matter much if you want to power stuff in New York from a geothermal plant near Yellowstone. The same of course applies for everything from big nukes (which need to be on a big lake/river/sea to have dependable cooling water - nowhere near as difficult to site as geothermal, but still you can't just put them anywhere) and solar. With a huge grid and not a lot of losses you can site just about anything.
Base load is a chicken/egg issue. Because we had a lot of thermal power generation that runs best 24/7/365 we've spent years providing incentives for energy use at night despite most industrial and commercial activity happening in daylight.
If you've got an Aluminium smelter or 24/7 production lines then a lot of base load is ideal, but in a lot of places it does not really matter apart from a little bit needed for lighting and residential use at night.
There are plenty of storage methods out there, even molten salt with solar thermal, all a bit lossy but all can get the job done at scale. Storage is not really required when you have massive grids, especially east-west grids like the USA and Europe. The wind is going to be blowing somewhere, the sun is shining somewhere, there are huge snow covered mountains feeding hydro and peak consumption is spread out over time so you do not need massive capacity just to cover a couple of hours. Reserve power is a lot less lossy than storage if you have a big grid and not much of a peak. A small grid or a north-south grid with a lot happening at the same time is a different story and that's where storing to cover huge peaks ends up being cheaper than a lot of stuff in reserve.
Unless we happen to find some huge, new, easy-to-mine vein of lithium ore
Surely you are joking. The desert in California is full of the stuff in salt lakes and there is a huge salt lake in Bolivia with enough for centuries of current lithium usage in that lake alone. That Bolivian lake is so big and so flat that it is used by satellites to calibrate their altitude measurements. Access? It has around a dozen rusty locomotives parked on it. If they could get there then getting the salt out isn't so hard. Mining? Lithium is "mined" by bulldozer, backhoe and truck. The current price is an artifact of the small number of suppliers. If it continues to rise then that will motivate others to look at the deposits that are not being used at the moment.
but I don't really think this matters a lot in most use cases.
For most use cases the Power is vastly overpriced so you get it only for those use cases for things like feeding a pile of nvidia cards for numerical processing. There are a lot of situations in cluster computing where that is useful and the number of situations is increasing as the onboard memory on those cards increases. Currently on x86_64 systems there's a lot of situations where feeding the cards takes as much time as it would to solve the problem on the base hardware with a huge pool of local memory. This faster link will get around that in some cases.
No just older than some and being in the right place to notice something many others here may not have known. Many people here have never used Win2k let alone on hardware with a lot of memory - it's only a right place right time thing and in no way makes me "better" than people lucky enough to use SGI gear or whatever at the same time.
Are you suggesting Putin is going to do to Latvia what we did to the Ukraine?
If for some reason he wanted it that makes more sense than rolling in the tanks.
The Ukraine mess (Crimea's a different issue)
The two messes are connected/intermixed and Putin has been active there in addition to Obama and Hillary's clumsy interference. Putin may not have started it but the end result is going to be Ukraine either doing what it is told by Putin or being irrelevant.
Perhaps your confusing what people who were antagonistic to Rand wrote about Rand, with what Rand actually wrote.
No. In several of her polemics she equates America under Eisenhower with Communism.
It makes perfect sense when you consider she is looking at both using the yardstick of the aristocracy of Imperial Russia in which case they may as well be the same - that smelly serf Eisenhower putting on airs instead of someone born to power.
It really astonishes me how so many people in America fall for that aristocratic shit that is centuries out of date.
Not the first time - Microsoft only fully supported the Pentium Pro, Pentium II and descendants on their server line of software. Windows XP was stuck on 4GB even when the hardware could support more in MS Server 2003, linux and all the rest. Annoying as fuck, a step backwards and one reason a Win2k machine in my workplace (two sockets and 6GB) was kept on Win2k for well over a decade.
For those without a clue who want to challenge this, at least look up PAE so you don't look so stupid when you do so.
If you are going to be naive enough to get your politics from Science Fiction perhaps try some Heinlein instead - good SF instead of utter shit Princess fantasies.
I have to add - if you see Putin as a communist you've either got a really fucked up world view or think that "communist" only means "bad" and that any bad state of affairs equals communism. Putin is a fucking gangster and would be right at home in 1930s New York, he's no more communist than Trump is.
Kaddafi was a bit different during Reagan's era, he was more pro-terrorist. He had calmed down some since then.
No. He just did it in places you don't care about so you didn't get to hear about it. All kinds of nasty bastards all over Africa were supplied by him up until his death. However, the fall of the USSR did mean that Libya was no longer a major weapons supply route from the USSR and satellites to other places though (eg. Semtex explosives went from Czechoslovakia to Libya and from there to the I.R.A. and a lot of other terrorist groups).
I'm thinking you read some different books than I did.
Yes, I read some non-fiction first. It becomes obvious then what she was doing. Rand was an utter fucking fruitcake who kept either deliberately pretending that communism and democracy was the same thing or really couldn't tell the difference. She makes a lot of sense (as in you can see what she is arguing for not that her argument makes sense) when you know a bit about Europe, especially Russian history before 1917. It sort of works in a US context as Princess fantasies if the readers have no fucking idea what an aristocratic society looks like and that they would really be the serf and not Princesses in Rand's world. She wrote polemics calling for the replacement of what George Washington and all the others fought for with the "good old days" of aristocrats running the place. I've always found it very strange that "libertarians" like her stuff, since she was always pushing an authoritarian line where the strength of the "great men" should not be opposed by the common rabble.

Spider monkeys have been used for malaria research.

I suspect the one in Iceland that already does has been doing so since before you were born.
Obviously because hydro is old news that everybody should have heard about before they grew up.

It was used for SCIENCE!
It was a Tyan two socket board, Win2k pro, two Pentium II processors and 6GB of memory.
Ask the poster above.
