It's mostly glacier/ice sheets. There are lots of theories that small rises in temp will greatly affect average ice depth. What evidence do you have that all of those predictions are wrong?
Even in the US protests have some constraints. Not on private property, no disruption of over people, etc.
Only in "free speech" zones, and all that. There's nothing "illegal" about having a protest on private property. The difference is that on private property, the owner can request you leave. But nothing that prevents you from holding a protest on your own private property or someone else's with permission (or even without permission, in some cases). But the government is working on banning protests, especially in areas where it's inconvenient.
From your link: A republic is a form of government in which power resides in the people, and the government is ruled by elected leaders run according to law, rather than inherited or appointed
Kim Jong Un replaced his father. Castro is expected to be succeeded by a family member without vote as well. Yet you listed both of those as "republics". I think "not monarchy" is too narrow. The power comes from the people (democracy), not divine (monarchies) or guns (dictatorships). Your definition would have violent dictatorships listed as "power by the people", which doesn't sound quite right. And Canada is tuled by elected leaders and run according to law. So again, your take disagrees with the statements within your cite.
Thus, unless it's being sold across state lines, Federal law doesn't apply.
The feds have stepped in before to shut down operations with no evidence of cross-border activity. If the trade of it crosses the border somewhere, the feds have jurisdiction. Just like in-state kidnappings are under the jurisdiction of the feds (if they want it). Because some kidnappings sometimes cross borders, the feds can assume that all do.
Doesn't matter that the Supreme Court came up with some convoluted reasoning for making the interstate commerce clause apply; the Constitution says what it says.
Ah, so the Supreme Court is wrong, and you are right. But nobody listens to you, so I'll quote the Supreme Court before you.
Yeah, in Dallas, the one time I needed an "emergency" trip (car broke, I was headed to school), it took about 3 hours to cover the distance that takes me 20 minutes or so at the same time of the day.
After I got a job, I lived about 10 minutes from work driving. I checked the bus schedules, and the best I could do was about 2 hours. I could bike it in less than that, but I biked in Dallas extensively when I was in college, and that was enough of that. It was too unsafe (the drivers, not me).
I know people that use the bus regularly, but when going anywhere other than directly downtown from wherever you are, you'll spend hours on the bus.
Nowhere in the US is marijuana "completely legal". It's illegal at the federal level, thus illegal, even for medical use, in all 50 states. That the feds don't care is a separate issue.
I was thinking Avatar, and some of the others since (Gollum), where they get a human actor to "act" the scene, then they replace the human actor with a new character that is 100% CGI, replacing it. That isn't new. Disney would generally film animated dances with people, then draw the animation to follow the human movements. Because of such biases, we'll always default to human-like characters on screen, even for bears, snakes, lions, and other animals.
Are you psychic? Do you have the special ability to interpret other's intentions merely by thought?
Yes. I can read faces. Have you never seen the expression on anyone's face, ever?
I've been driving for about 30 years, and in the last 20, I've probably been pulled over fewer than half a dozen times, all for pretty valid reasons.
I was pulled over a pile of times as a younger person. After my first 10 years of driving, I've been pulled over less than a half dozen times, and not all for valid reasons. I also grew up in the south, and had a variety of friends. I know plenty of people pulled over for DWB (one thrown in jail for the night, no charges, no "arrest" and no apology). And I know a white person who lead the police on a high speed chase, when he was finally cornered in a dead-end alley, the cops pulled him out at gunpoint (because of the high speed chase, they assume him dangerous). They let him go with an apology for pointing guns at him. No ticket, no arrest, just an apology.
If you want to mistrust cops, get to be friends with a few of them.
If you want to block the spam, it's easy. Block the people posting it. The "dislike" is wanted so I can block *you* from seeing political opinions *I* don't like.
So in this scenario, did you just bribe the judge or legal system by using a lobbyist (lawyer) who went and made your case through channels not open to you on your behalf in ways you couldn't make on your own so convincingly that you prevailed?
In theory (and practice) you have no fewer rights if you represent yourself. So, no, that's not bribery.
That's one of the things lobbyist do.
No, they don't. They have access you don't have. Because they pre-bribed the Congressman. It's not a bribe to pay someone money for "future consideration" (so long as that's not explicitly a vote). They have access *you* will never have. Thus, it's bribery.
And it is more likely that one person representing 10,000 voters can make this case in person than it is for 10,000 people individually.
If that's what happens, I might change my mind, but the "one person" is representing one company, and lying about the people they represent (there are not 10,000 people who want it, and if there were, they certainly didn't send letters to a lobbyist to take the issue to the Congressman).
Perhaps the fix is more slashdot-like. mod down for reason. -1 commercial advertisement. Then let me set commercial advertisement to -3. I'll almost never see it, if I don't want to see astroturfing.
There is a dislike in Facebook. You un-friend or hide the individual item. The people asking for dislike on facebook are asking for censorship. They want it to be harder to find things they don't personally like. I hope Facebook doesn't do it.
And part of my point is that it isn't explicitly better. On Windows, I almost always disable swapfiles. Windows is dumb. It will page to disk after time. You can have 14 GB free RAM, and 90% of what was in use will get written to disk. It sucks if you suspend a lot and reboot infrequently. And does *nothing* to improve operation, but makes it worse, much worse.
Excel '97 and earlier would load the whole file (as you say they should now). That lead to file limits and such. Also, very slow load times in some situations (I've built a server for a single XLS file before, don't ask). But now, Excel only loads part. It greatly speeds up load times. That's the opposite of the progression you indicate is natural. If it were to natural and obvious, it would go the other way, but it doesn't.
I guess my point is that "progress" isn't always linear. Sometimes it's cyclical. There is no "best" just "better at the moment".
I think the reason for half of the outsourcing arrangements out there is that a company hopes that by outsourcing something and having real charge-backs that people will just stop using the service entirely.
The number one reason I've seen mass outsourcing is when the accounting spreads the cost of doing business unequally. The two $50k IT employees cost the company $1,000,000 a year because the server room is big, and we allocate corporate costs based on floorspace. Or accounting managed to make themselves a revenue generator by charging 20% than their actual cost, and distributing it around the company. What's great is nobody recognizes the problem (finance over charges) but sees the other cost centers as losing more than they do, so out they go. Then, when you are left with sales and finance as the only two groups, finance over-charges sales, and they complains, someone notices, and re-balances the numbers. Then they realize they were paying less for IT before they outsourced it, then bring it back inside, with people who have no experience with the systems. The "experts" all moved on.
It's insane that I've seen that happen more than once. Poor actions by another group to make themselves invaluable causes execs to be dumb.
I vote for a nuke strike over Kansas, taking out most of the USA with an EMP, followed by a ground assault by China with troops garrisoned in Mexico or Russia flooding across after the EMP
It's training on reality. Something will happen sometime. Zombie is a placeholder for "unknown future issue" (or, as I said elsewhere "asian" without political complications).

The sun will rise tomorrow. I have no data for that. So by your logic, that's proof the sun will never rise again.
Don't forget the Kennedy dynasty. And Hillary may run next time, so don't count her out yet.

Funding, not expertise. We spent so much on the shuttle, that "space" doesn't have good connotations anymore. It means waste and no results.
That's not the only case, but you obviously are here just to waste my time.
