    his ideas are good, but can he reign in the jerk long enough to get them out?

    consent or no consent, improper bedroom antics with highly political women at a time when a big chunk of the world's governments want you to "disappear" is very poor judgement.

    and no doubt he'd have a hissy fit on camera if anyone dared hold a different view to him. he'd accuse them of repression, blahblah.

    this guy honestly doesn't have the people skills to do justice to the idea.

    if everyone on the plane carried one bullet and an unidentifiable thingy (part of a disassembled gun), you could take the plane down.

    but with a plane full of terrorists and nobody else but crew, they could just all push hard against the cockpit door anyway, or do any number of other things without needing a gun.

    then either ask to be placed on an exit row (are you a bad enough dude to help pry open a door in an emergency?), or pay a little more for a bigger seat.

    they don't call it cattle class for nothing - you can't expect red carpet if you're paying bargain bucket prices.

    that said, i've found having a baby on you gives you immediate access to the business class toilet, no matter where you're seated. especially if the baby is cute and there's hostesses around.

    disability access gets you through the checkpoints much faster, too. though you have to either be disabled, or willing pushing around someone who is.

    the strain on the oceanic food chain is us catching all the fish.

    if we wish to continue that, it would become our task to reduce the ensuing oversupply of food in the lower part of the food chain.

    if we keep it in balance, it should be okay. remember how big the sea is. i wonder if, at 5% ethanol yield from the seaweed, how much we'd need to get through to meet current fuel demand?

    of course, you'd want to supplement it with other things. we may only need a modest percentage of total demand from the seaweed, the rest coming from the hundreds of other energy sources being researched.

    konbu is used industrially to make MSG. lots of that stuff gets made. perhaps byproducts from this process could be used to make fuel (does the alginate survive? IANAChemist).

    explain how hemp is efficiently fermented into ethanol? hemp is traditionally a fibre crop, not really good for fermenting. you'd just end up with heaps of mush left over and not much ethanol.

    what you did get out of it would be INSAAANE to drink though.

    alchemists of the time were always saying transmutation was "about 10 years away".
