My pet peeve is people who refuse to accept that language can change. I like to point out to them that the language they think is "correct" isn't the language spoken by their parents. That the language that their parents think is "correct" isn't the language spoken by their grandparents, etc.
The real polluter is China, at an official 1/3, and far more likely to be close to 50%.
The one that should be putting their money into dramately lowering their emissions is China. Sadly, theirs continues to rise, while America's continues to drop.
Even now, America is under 33% coal for their electricity, while China remains around 88%.
Shouldn't we be spending that money to save humanity by stopping global warming?
5 billion?
That's a drop in the ocean compared to (eg.) the military. One F35. A few days in Afghanistan. Why don't we start there instead of cutting the sciency things??
Making people interested science isn't a waste and NASA are the ones who might actually save the planet.
So? What does that have to do with all the stupid YOLO drunkards?
If you were anywhere near as smart as you think you are you'd open a bar for the idiots to try to drink themselves to death in. Those guys get rich.
(And mostly don't drink. Plus they tend to live on small islands, drive jetskis to the 'office' and have their pick of the YOLO girls. How does your drunken life measure up to that?)
I've climbed some of the highest mountains on earth (extremely physically demanding). my first time upon reaching the summit of one of these, the local guides pulled out some cigarettes and started smoking
Yep. Vices should be a reward, not a constant all-day, every day habit.
I'd say the opposite. The people who drink themselves into a stupor every day are... spending a large part of their life in a stupor.
And very few of them manage to die famous in their 20s like they claim to want.
Most of them will live a long time and could have spent all that beer/cigarette money on a decent size house, faster car, etc. That would be a better 'life' than just being drunk all the time and smelling bad.
I don't get that people can think scientists are evil for resurrecting things but that other people aren't bad for wiping them out, destroying their habitats. etc.

Science didn't used to be a verb but now it is.

Please pay attention, there's already several of those on the market.

And I said that you'll never be Jim Morrison no matter how much you drink.
And neither will they.
PS: If you think I'll ever set foot in a gym you're deluded.
What happens if it's a windy day?
So you have no ethical issues pirating content?
Ethics? LOL.
After all the artists they've ripped off? After all the laws they've have bought? After all the evil things they've done?
No, none at all. They reap what they sow.
Only the American ones.
Wikipedia page for the F35 says: "In 2012, the total life-cycle cost for the entire U.S. fleet was estimated at US$1.51 trillion"
"Afghanistan costs 124 million a year"? Did you actually type "cost of war in afghanistan" into Google?
Some estimates put the at 14 million per hour:

Of course that's a junk new site so that figure is wrong. More reliable site put it two or three times higher than that:

Pretty much every non-American friend I have is interested - sometimes literally fascinated - with what's going on right now in American politics.
Wouldn't you stop and look if a huge train wreck happened before your very eyes?
Problem: The idiots are voting because they think they DO know that.

You pulled those numbers out of your ass, eh?

Ahem.

People don't seem to have any problem comparing Pi to Arduino, so...
The point you missed was: "Moderation".
Thanks for playing.
Still not as big as "being permanently drunk is best", though, eh?

You mean they're going to rediscover the health benefits a few years from now?

Yeah, because all those 'YOLO' drunkards are going to be individually remembered like Jim Morrison was.
Is it possible to even fly 15000000 miles in a single lifetime?
(and still have a proper life, I mean, not living in airports and eating airport food)
Customers wanted thinner, stronger, and water resistant.
I must have missed that round of voting.

...a 2010 rape charge
a) He hasn't been charged with anything
b) It isn't "rape" he's wanted for questioning over.
Is there really something that Oracle does that an open-source database can't do?
Yes.
