I'll sleep as long as I want. Then I'll sleep some more.
Meanwhile, my strong AI-based avatar will work in my stead. In fact, it needn't come home, but will work nonstop.
Ask it for my bank account number so you can deposit its pay in my account.
Now leave me alone. I have some serious sleeping to do.
Feminine beauty is not well served by zoomable acres of gaping pores.
Therein lies horror, and quite possibly a counter-Darwinian response insalubrious to human survival.
I would rather take the miniscule risk of free-falling 10 km in a fireball than have men of dubious character inventory my family jewels.
America seems to sacrificed freedom not for safety, but for the illusion of safety.
No thanks.
Judging from an admittedly non-rigorous sampling of U.S. technical journals, much of the domestic U.S. corporate and university R&D is being done by Chinese and Indian nationals. Would someone please explain the wisdom of American universities allocating scarce graduate positions and funding to foreigners with no intention of staying in the U.S. It's a puzzle to this taxpayer.
If the Government confined its duties to those assigned by the Constitution, mutatis mutandis, its job would be much simpler. If they try to run everything, a second civil war would be inevitable.
Thanks. I got lots of good ideas for the nanobot lab in my basement. You'll be hearing about some of my creations real soon now. (You might want to wear a helmet for the next, say, 250 years.)
Actually, I take back what I said. Local associations of galaxies will remain gravitationally bound, so they will not accelerate away from each other. The magnatar problem will remain. In fact, the energy pulses from several nearby neutron stars may be headed our way right now. Scotty...I need...those warp engines...now!

It's ludicrous to think that China was unaware of this base.
China selling fake airbags? Hudathunkit?
Then how did Germans at Max Planck Institute sequence the genome of Neanderthals, who disappeared 30,000 years ago?

It's important to use calculus at every opportunity. It differentiates one from the integral lump that is hoi polloi.
If anyone needs to beef up their resume, Japanorama is giving away Ph.D. diplomas at http://www.japanorama.com/images/diploma.gif
In essence what Russia is saying is that they will attack the West if the West makes any attempt to protect itself from attack. Spoken like a coward.

Might I suggest Britain's 21st-century slogan: Britain is back, baby!
Immune to EMP?

Possibly.

I translate technical Japanese patents and the great majority are so poorly written as to be unintelligible in parts.
How, exactly, does something dangle in space? In LEO, it the gravitational field strong enough to cause dangling?

Since the expansion of the universe is accelerating, eventually magnatars will be unable to reach out and touch anyone. I'll keep you posted.
Use the SS technique. Shotgun + shovel.
