    Had she been dressed with everything she was "supposed" to be wearing.

    It's a desert. Perhaps she didn't have one (supplies problem, or was destroyed for some other reason such as makeshift repair) or she simply was not wearing it due to heat.

    How do you expect to get that cold water? Think it through a bit more.

    All of our cooling technologies involve removing heat from one place and putting it in another.

    Heating, on the other hand, allows us to exploit chemical (nuclear even if you really want to get nuts) bonds to release energy easily convertible into thermal energy.

    Eg, you have to cool your cold water, which means you have to expend energy to move the heat (and the higher the heat at the destination, the more work this will take you) or you can burn some fuel, or split some atoms.

    I should clarify. Your car shop typically doesn't have all sorts of material-sciency ways to analyze for pending failures... such as x-rays searching for micro-cracks, pipe probes etc. If your car shop does that let me know, because they damn well would earn my business.

    ... because clearly the expertise and care that should go into a nuclear reactor is at the same level of your local car shop.

    Indeed. If you fall down drunk in a harsh climate.

    If you don't behave suicidally, heating technologies work quite well.

    Even if that wasn't from Faux News, it's a lot easier to survive cold than it is heat (as tool users).

    Erm, you know how tiny that volume of water is, comparatively?

    If that kills something off, that thing was going to die the next time a fish shat in the water next to it anyway.

    Stop and think about that for a moment. That means it happened previously, and nothing bad happened, we're all still here, and Florida isn't underwater yet.

    Yea, well, when write a catchy hook saying something (in a non-sarcastic tone) patriotic, you've got no right to bitch and whine when the general public ignores the rest of it.

    That's why you get anti-war songs used as title music for Vietnam War games, etc.

    Make your message the hook, not the counterpoint, or you WILL be misunderstood.

    its like getting questioned by a cop.

    No it's not. Cops are people with jobs to do. Don't get in the way and help them get their job done and they will be happy with you.

    Sure, if they are asking about YOU, then you have a justification to act cautiously. If they're asking if you saw so-and-so drinking the other night, not so much. Unless you want to protect so-and-so from the consequences of their actions.

    Do you have any justification as to what makes you entitled to pirate the applications? Just because you can?

    Explanation:

    1. You "buy" the app and it can phone home all your juicy details
    2. You pirate the app and it doesn't phone home.

    So, if he drops the price to "free" then more people will get it via legitimate means than via piracy, so while he loses out on sale revenue, he gets all the data he was digging for instead.

    It is someone using another's branding apparently either out of laziness, or deliberate deception

    Or appreciation and ignorance of the problem. It's a rather nice looking branding, especially for giving an old-west or old-south feel. If you wanted that feel and were not aware that it would be a trademark violation, i wouldn't call it lazy or deceptive to duplicate it.
