One of the problems with wanting to lose weight is by the time you become a large tub, you no longer have enough muscle to move around and exercise. Now you can take this drug, have enough power to start working out and not feel like you are dying when you are starting out, which may increase the positive feedback effect.
Ceres the newly reclassified "Dwarf Planet" is a far better place to set down roots, you don't need much to "take-off" from the surface maybe something slightly stronger than maneuvering jets. Plenty of water to sustain life and plenty of mass to build structures on. It is farther out than mars but it is a good mix between the convenience of an asteroid and the convenience of a planet. Plus you are further out from sun so less protection from solar flares is needed.
The only thing limiting it's colonization is some stupid treaty limiting nuclear power in space that you would need to colonize Ceres. Ceres is too far away from the sun to be able to effectively use Solar power. Nuclear powered transports utilizing VASIMIR drives would be all you would need. It would only be a few months to get there too utilizing a VASIMIR drive system.
I would say Ceres is a far better place to go to than Mars, maybe even the Moon.
Taxes solve everything like my neighbor working extra hard and having more money than I do. Now his house looks as crappy as mine and I am happy. Thank you Envy, best of all of the seven sins!
You are citing "Free Republic", what are you some sort of knuckle dragging Evil Conservative Jesus Obsessed Young Earth creationists Sarah Plain Worshiping Rube who has nothing more than two brain cells short of a functional cerebral cortex kind of person are you. I'll bet you don't comprehend anything ever said to you unless it is prefaced with a (wink) and suffixed with a (you betcha).
Here, I will put this in language you can understand:
(wink) Are you seriously quoting an article from Free Republic (you betcha).
How can you even cite the 3.8Billion Year figure, I thought you all believe that the earth is 6,000 years old and was created exactly as it said in some book you like to thump while you are tea bagging other "true believers". Maybe the Oil companies paid you to post here, I am amazed you actually were able to navigate to slashdot, I'll bet it took you a while to figure out that "http://www.slashdot.org" isn't reached by typing in "http://\.".
Why don't you go out and buy a copy of "Going Rouge" and pleasure yourself to the sweet ghostwritten nothings of Mrs. Palin.
Rats and Mice are the last animal I would ever care about going extinct or suffering. Because they are some of the animals that cause the most human suffering through the ages and will probably inherit the earth someday after we hopefully left for better worlds....
The Methane is being caused by the Bugalo who eat martian sagebrush and fart methane. I say we go there and start ranching them, maybe buy the whole planet using a giant diamond as payment or something. Of course China will beat us to the punch and we will have gone the Wong way.....
They are farting methane and causing Martian Warming!!!!!!
I say we put a carbon tax on them, maybe after not collecting any monies from them for a few decades, the U.N. will get serious about sending someone to Mars, even if it is only to send someone with a sternly worded letter....

You are simply converting potential electrical energy into real kinetic energy that is vectored in one direction.
But 41,000,000,000 is the largest number in Maths.
Some have speculated there may be a larger number: 41,000,000,001?
"I have this magic technology called wired networking. Even the copper stuff goes all the way up to 10Gb.
Wireless is 99% of the time more a pain than it is worth."
Smart Engineer: If you pay me 2 million dollars I can make it go to 11Gb.
So you can always get a job there.
Because they won't let us use the sand we already have instead we will have to import it from those crazies....

At least she won't smell musky and have a 'stache.....
You can find more at DU or FreeRepublic, Take your pick!
Obviously the solution is to genetically engineer the bacteria in swamps to produce no methane....

You could, but be prepared to be sued by a so called "church".
Exactly!
I posted like I caught rabies on DU, how did I do?

They will be Exterminated...
Exter-mi-nate...Exter-mi-nate...Exter-mi-nate...Exter-mi-nate...Exter-mi-nate...
Life on Earth, bah, that is just wishful thinking......
Real life can only be sustained in a tenious atmosphere filled with CO2 and plenty of ultraviolet light to supply energy.....
Cry me a river!!!
I didn't mean literally.....
Wait, are you one of them..... Stay away from me, water is pouring out of you, you are infected.......
Obviously the solution is to genetically engineer the bacteria in ruminant stomachs to produce no methane....
Bah, My favorite card contains an abacus and slide rule.....

Carbon offsets are for Methane too as Methane is C(H4)...
The Methane is being caused by the Bugalo who eat martian sagebrush and fart methane. I say we go there and start ranching them, maybe buy the whole planet using a giant diamond as payment or something. Of course China will beat us to the punch and we will have gone the Wong way.....
You can go to Mars, but don't drink the water, because water always wins.....
I wonder if you breathed in Martian Methane if you would become a fart monster who wanted to invade Titan or something.......
They are farting methane and causing Martian Warming!!!!!!
