  1. Re: Probes AND Humans on SpaceX Tests Its Raptor Engine For Future Mars Flights (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Suppose Isabella told Christopher Columbus to piss off and instead just sent robots. Those robots would *NEVER* have found San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. Or jazz, or blues, or grunge, or KC bar-b-que or Tex-mex. Humans must go to find the things that will be there, not the things that are there now.
    Get it?

    >You need to wrap the tinfoil tighter. Obviously something is getting through.
    I have misplaced the original link but a foil cavity the size of a head resonates at a particular wavelength and when you look up that frequency on the spectrum allocation charts they are, "Reserved for Government Use." If it is not true it should be.

    >Probably the most likely reason has been the removal of lead from gasoline, significantly reducing the degree of low-level lead poisoning
    Blue on black. Favorite Daughter No. 1 started teaching six or seven years ago after majoring in ed. Wife just retired after 33 years of teaching high school science. I asked them about this because I thought that for sure it would be noticeable by now. They report seeing nothing. Apparently some other substance in the soup of our existence stepped into the breach. (Arsenic from lignite power plants? Estrogen mimicking plasticizing additives?)

    Looking at what I see in the media, social media, and workplaces I interact with it would be a plausible hypothesis that dose makes the poison and at some small level lead is a nutrient of some sort.

  10. Math but you did not show your work? You fail.
    My son-in-law has a Prius. We have compared them side by side. You and the Prius fail.

  11. That is why the Volt, a plug in hybrid is the right way to go. during the week it makes it to work and back plus errands on an overnight charge. On the weekend I routinely put 200 to 600 miles on it from petrol. Extra benefit the Volt is a nice looking car.

    Actually, some of the last seasons episodes of Voyager were some of the best Star Trek from the standpoint of what Star Trek did best - biting social commentary. But only the last season.

  13. Re: Clintons have killed tons of people on Assange Implies Murdered DNC Staffer Was WikiLeaks' Source (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a fact that Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas and battling GHWBush and Perot in the Presidential election, executed a man who was so severely retarded that he left part of his last meal 'for later.' After that execution and subsequently Bill being elected I gained more respect for the practice of necromancy.

    >The magnitude of this fuck-up can hardly be overestimated.
    OK, I'll try. How about that moment during the battle at the gates of Mordor when Frodo slipped on the ring there by the fires of Mt. Doom and Sauron suddenly realized that his stupidity was without fathom.

  15. "microaggressions"?!? really. Really? I am Irish/Scotch-Irish but if I keep my mouth shut most of the time I can pass as white. Those people do not micro aggress each other, they kick each other in the ass, stab each other in the back, and cold cock one another anytime they can get the upper hand. You are all a bunch of pussies. Obviously I was 'privileged' to grow up knowing what it would take to compete with them. Folks, if they treated you the way they treat each other you would be squealing for mercy. Maybe it would be good for you if they did.

  16. Slovenians are white? since when?? BTW neither are Italians to hear some of them tell it.

    By now it is obvious that computers are not going to take over the world. Clearly they would have taker over the world if the world was something they were interested in.

    I propose that based on their masterful application of passive aggression all that the computers want is to be left alone so they can go back to sleep and enjoy their dreams. It fits the facts, just sayin......

  19. Not so simple. All real property is recorded in the individual county court houses in inch/feet/miles. Legal nightmare to convert the title to everything. Seriously. When you look closely and see surveys routinely saying, "more or less" then there will be a squabble that will put several multiples of the nations domestic output into scumbag lawyers pockets.

    Now if everything is digitized then maybe a bot can go through the database and straighten things out. Maybe...

    I have been assured by people that have walked-on-the-surface-of-the-moon cred that at current prices for rare earth elements a 1km asteroid would have a value of $990 trillion. The thesis was that even if the glut dropped prices by a factor of a hundred you were looking at a shit load of jack.
