How exactly was it a rewrite? I seem to remember that the second movie describes Khan's origins, and does not in fact cover what he does later WRT the Originals.
Hell the voice commands on mine are pretty snazzy. You can tune directly to radio stations etc. Push the on-wheel button with your thumb, it beeps, and you say (for example) "tune to ninety seven point one" and away it goes to 97.1 FM. It also understands that "six hundred" couldn't possibly be an FM radio station and tunes to AM 600khz.
Presumably you can use this for much more than just radio stations but I haven't experimented. In any case, the voice activation button shows data on the dash screen about what it's doing, and if you're stopped you can scroll through valid inputs etc.
It's irresponsible to shoot them anywhere near the head. BSE prions only exist in CNS tissues. By shooting them in the head you run a risk of contaminating the rest of the animal.
Proper slaughter involves using a non-penetrating stunner to daze the animal, at which point you haul it up on it's rear legs and sever the cranial arteries.
I suggest you go look up what a prion is and correct your incorrect assumptions. Mad Cow does not exist because of cows eating meat, only from cows eating cows!
Why would they have meat in the abdomen? There's nothing in there that requires musculature. Hell some arthropods (namely spiders) don't even -have- musculature, they use hydraulic pressure!
The muscles would primarily be in the thorax where the legs and wings join, in the legs, and in the head (to support the mandibles)
Because insects/spiders are more biological automatons than reasoning/feeling things. You can argue that animals can feel, but the critters we're considering simply don't have the physical wiring to support it.
Is your objection that they are bugs, or that when you think of it, you envision yourself chowing down on raw (or perhaps prepared-but-still-whole) insects?
I'd argue that ground beef doesn't look very much like a cow...
They also said "like you'd take to the gym" as a way of explaining pints, and used cubic feet.
In other words drinking water was the most "understandable" part of it for the audience it was written for, and oxygen and fuel would have just drawn blank stares.

the result will be the GOP tearing itsself to pieces

Best. Idea. Ever.
I'm down with that, even though I support ACA.
Every time I've interacted with them.
Obama can't run for another term, so this doesn't really matter. Congress doesn't seem grounded in reality either for that matter.
No, but they do revoke your privileges to drive...

It's "canon" not "mythology," unless Star Trek: The Original Series was actually written in ancient Greece.
The same kind of argument goes for the NSA as well. Why do you think people accepted their recommendations?

You're not the only one.
I'm not saying a .22 in the brain cavity isn't humane, don't get me wrong. I'm only considering the BSE risk here.
I know the risk is small, but it's there and frankly prion disease terrifies me.
Because it breaches the blood-brain barrier, exposing CNS tissues to the circulatory system.
Reminder: it only takes one prion protein to transmit the syndrome.
But they don't! I grew up in Maine as well, so it's not like I only had poor examples.
Transport is issue #1, dwarfing supply, cost, and waste.

Any other method is either more cruel, or risky.
There's just something disturbing about "cricket flour."

I read somewhere that the primary problem in solving world hunger wasn't cost or supply, but transport.
It's bad enough they are arthropods but they are also bottom feeders.
I have absolutely no idea why people find them appealing.

I'd be happy to give NASA a few extra $$ every year for them to "waste" - they don't get enough as it is.
