If you ate just fruit you would kill those 5, except for the vegetables bullet point. Good luck with trying to consume too many calories by eating fruit alone.
That must be the dumbest reasoning I have ever seen.
What you are saying is that it is ok to put other people's lives at risk without their permission because you want to risk your life and drive at the limits 50 metres away from someone ferrying their children to school.
By the way, I did half a season in the Porsche Cup (a recurring elbow injury forced me to stop), and have risked my life in many other pursuits, so no one really calls me a pussy.
It's not the speed that kills you when you're on a nice straight road, it's the distracted soccer moms and self-centered idiots.
I have to say the first autobahn accident I saw was pretty impressive, some guy in an s class spun across 4 lanes of traffic, taking loads of other (innocent) people out.
I know two guys killed because their one-year-old BMW literally stopped in the fast lane and they were rammed by another car 5 minutes later doing 300kmh. Somehow the driver survived.
It is the anomalies that kill you and doing race track speeds without the associated safety systems in place, such as you have on a racetrack, you will end up with deaths of both safe and unsafe drivers.
"Current patterns of consumption, production and inequality are not sustainable....[Solutions] include changes in lifestyle, consumption preferences and consumer behaviour on the one hand, and cleaner production processes, resource efficiency and decoupling, corporate responsibility and compliance on the other hand....Efforts to combat biodiversity loss must also address poverty eradication, food security challenges, gender inequality, systemic inefficiencies and corruption in governance structures and other social variables.
Never going to happen. It's like the Vatican's solution to combatting aids, abstaining from sex, which no one of course did.
Giving out condoms, which meant that behavior was changed only slightly, and everyone could keep on ?ucking, did make a big difference to the spread of aids.
So basically unless someone invents something to cool the planet down without affecting our lifestyles, we are doomed.
I believe the real fear of NK is that these nuclear developments will be exported either purposefully or "accidentally" to radical groups.
Not that NK will launch a first strike itself, but will provide the means for other groups to initiate global carnage.
I doubt that very much, why would they? What would they gain exactly? The risk of being found out would severely outweigh any "benefits" from doing so. If they were found out then NK would be turned into ash.
Pakistan is more at risk of doing something like that as it has deep ties to radical groups who would love to let off a bomb in India or the US.
Similar with the N. Korea peace negotiations. These things take time, there will be some back and forth, and possibly nothing will come of it... but now is not the time to make judgement. Let the situation play out, and *then* figure out whether we are better off. At the very least, the president talked us out of a nuclear war.
HAHA, as if Trump talked you out of a nuclear war.
NK would never launch a nuclear weapon unless it was first attacked by the South and/or the US.
If they made the first strike the nuke card would be played and NK would be turned to ash by retaliatory attacks.
It's like the BS that Trump is pushing that NK is going to give up its nukes, why the hell would they? If they did then they will have lost their only bargaining chip and the rest of the world would just go back to ignoring NK.
NK doesn't want to attack anyone with their nukes, they just want to ensure the longevity of the regime, and nukes give them that power.
I have seen videos of the tests they do on jet engines for big jets. They used a frozen chicken and shot it from a cannon at 200mph into the intake of a stationary engine running at full power.
Surprisingly the damage was minimal although the engine slowed down for a moment. I am not sure many drones would have the same kinetic energy as a frozen chicken.
And early model mobile digital phones used to actually cause CRT screens to fail and sometimes start smoking so issues with mobile phone interference were very real in the early days.
I heard somewhere that the chances of you buying a winning ticket in the NY lottery are the same as you finding that a winning ticket in the gutter. I can't imagine the stats are much different in other parts of the world.
At least I don't have to listen to people in the local pub telling me how they are going to make millions on the BTC they bought at the top of the market anymore, now it is only the desperados trying to talk the market up.
It could be the equivalent of the National Broadband Network, which cost billions to lay down a third national data network and ended up being so slow that most 3rd world countries I have visited have much higher internet speeds in the countryside than my mother who lives in a major city.
And another that shows that nothing has changed in the last 6 years from the date of publication:
Perhaps the most magical assumption of the moment is that our growing belief in climate change will lead to a real effort to stop it. But as I discovered in Canada and Greenland and Sudan and Seattle and all over the globe, that is not automatically true. We are noticing that in this new world, there is new oil to find. There is new cropland to farm. There are new machines to be built. From what I have seen in six years of reporting this book, the climate is changing faster than we are.
This is a poignant quote from WIndfall which is a book about how people are preparing to make money from climate change:
“It’s a message that says, ‘Yes, forty years from now or a hundred years from now, in 2100, things will be really bad—that’s why you shouldn’t use your energy today.’ If people won’t get that if they have unprotected sex today and it’ll kill you in a few years, why should this other message get across any better? It’s morally bankrupt for the pope to say abstinence only for people to fight HIV—it kills people to say that—and I think that’s a worse sin than fucking."
The "rest of the world" is increasingly adding to the junk, including things like Chinese tests of anti-satellite weapons leaving clouds of shrapnel where there used to be just one old dead satellite. Thanks, world.
I think the Chinese wanted to be like the US, they beat you on carbon emissions, now they beat you on space junk in one go.
Next, is aircraft carriers, although they are pretty well considered obsolete now, so it is probably not worthwhile going after that feather.
One other notable piece of information is that the US Space Command is the only group capable of locating, tracking, and classification of orbital debris over a certain size.
Why is it notable? It wasn't done for altruistic purposes, it was created so that not only space junk is tracked, but also everyone else satellites and nukes of course.
Not sure about the US funding it though, but if you have a source that says otherwise then I stand corrected.
Like finding a solution to why our emails sent through gmail servers go to spam folders of our customers on gmail and whom we have been communicating with via email for years.
Trying to get a support case escalated when the support muppet can't give you an answer is nearly impossible unless you start yelling at the support muppet. Then you get a manager muppet and have to go through the whole process again.
I did it 4 years ago when my macbook air died and I didn't really have the money to buy a new one. So I switched to a chromebook, and an android phone.
If you remember that Apple builds computers/phones/systems to profit from and Google builds computers/phones/systems to run more of their ads to profit from, you won't be too shocked by how rough google tech is.
I lasted 3 years on an android phone before going back to an iphone, I am not sure I want to spend the money on a new macbook, so I will probably get a cheap linux laptop when my chromebook dies and keep everything in the cloud (probably MS with MS office, which is still 10 times better than google apps).
There is nothing that a Chromebook does better than a mac, it is just a lot cheaper.

everyone eats, not everyone smokes.
Potatoes and milk. Potatoes have everything except vit. D & E I think, and milk has those, potatoes have everything else.

Most big corps send executives over to China not only with a burner phone but with a burner laptop which both get shredded when the exec returns.

They spend too much time doing their own shit rather than helping paying customers
Against a serious foe such as Russia or China.
So a total waste of money.
