I'm not the slightest bit pro-gun, but even I will concede "smart guns" are a dumb idea. A gun needs to work when you press the trigger, depending on failable electronics is dumb, dumb, dumb.
I don't know how many times I've seen piss poor code upvoted as the correct answer. Sure, most of the time it works but will have obvious errors, poor coding, men leaks, etc. In almost all cases I end up rewriting the code anyway.
Well that is definitely a consideration that would need to be taken into account in the short term, but yeah is a circular argument that shouldn't take nuclear off the table.
On a minor note, any power generation technology that isn't using the energy from the sun is technically contributing to warming the Earth since we're liberating energy that is currently stored. Although I presume that's probably irrelevant since that eventual thermal energy is radiated from the Earth and small compared to the overall energy radiated. Global warming is the problem with those products of our current energy production methods being dumped into the atmosphere preventing that thermal energy from escaping.
In all these debates I'm always amazed how the simple "big picture" of the physics involved is disregarded. It all boils down to energy density. Is there any other power generation technology that comes close? The only other alternative is to reduce our energy usage and if that ain't gonna happen you need to build lots of reactors producing lots of energy. Sure you can cover the surface of the Earth in solar panels I suppose, but that seems to be a bit of a maintenance headache (not to mention the energy cost of creating the panels in the first place). It seems to me all the negatives of nuclear boil down to the cost of making it safe which surely we can do a more efficient job of? We can't keep holding out hope for fusion, we need to make plans for relying on fission for the foreseeable future.
The only reason a light saber is useful in the Star Wars universe is that you can block blaster fire with it but presumably only force users have the reflexes and senses to do that.
Government officials didn't even know WCRW existed until Reuters told them about it. Nor did anyone else, it's a terrestrial radio station for god sakes.
Since of course the reason those devices don't support Prime Video is that Amazon decided not to provide Prime Video on those devices, unlike say Netflix, Hulu, and every other streaming provider under the sun.
"Our test campaign can not confirm or refute the claims of the EMDrive but intends to independently assess possible side-effects in the measurements methods used so far."
Honestly there isn't a logical reason. I wouldn't personally have an issue with it. But seeing how there isn't a ground swell of popular support or wide spread in our culture whatever. Things would get complicated if each spouse then had their own spouses.

I'm not saying it's aliens but it's aliens.
Besides who cares? Iowa caucus isn't winner take all anyway right? So they basically got the same amount of delegates anyway?
Well it's not like he's going to need a shirt the way the temperatures keep going.

I know know, terrible insensitive joke.

Umm, thorium reactors anyone?

Yeah it as cool how they got the head to stay upright while it rolled around
You know who else wrote a book? Hilter!

Oh lord, I just read the original posts on this, so apparently it was Linus that used that language. Geez, really?
A guy complaining about unprofessionalism uses the term "deep throating". Ok then.
I can't tell if the OP is being sarcastic or not. Just like poor people just need to stop being so poor.
Uh, the Earth's atomosphere?
I've found the secret, you have other people pay you to make their apps for them. I've been making a pretty good living from that going 5 years now.

LOL of course that linked video leaves out the punch line at the end. "How do we make money? The answer is simple, volume"

On what planet is C++ an unusual choice?
Everyone knows you need to tack on a PB-NUK to every probe if you'll be out of sunlight for longer than the batteries hold a charge.
