Oh, but they do. People are violent. You're old enough to remember that we had to be constantly reminded in mass media and by the stewardesses to not try to wrestle with hijackers; to do things the "civilized" way. People followed the rules until it was clear the rules didn't apply. Then they acted. And they've acted many times since. Sure, it wouldn't hurt to have a few more air marshals, but what good are four air marshals compared to a plane full of passengers with knives? Pen knives used to be carried by everyone everywhere. Now they're scary terrorist weapons.

The passengers on Flight 93 are the heroes you deride. Given your UID, you're not a youngster, so you lived through 9/11 and you should remember the hijacking a that occasionally took place before; the rule was always "let the hijackers have their way and everyone gets out alive". Once the passengers of Flight 93 figured out what their fate was, they went full Steven Segal, forcing the hijackers to abort mission and crash the plane prematurely.
In the same vein, why does an armed robbery in many states carry an "enhanced" sentence, or even become a different crime, because a gun was used? Would a crossbow or a big knife have been any different? They're all deadly weapons.
Armed robbery includes any deadly weapon brandished as threat of force during the robbery, not just firearms. Branding a weapon while robbing lends insight to the mindset of the criminal; that he or she is willing to cause bodily harm or kill in their commission of a crime. Killing (even accidentally) in the commission of a felony is usually considered murder, so planning to kill in commission of a felony is like planning to murder.

Nuclear Fusion is 1AU away. Start figuring out more efficient collection methods. The bio method has proven to work, but it wastes a lot of energy in extraction of the stored energy.
New fans every episode, abducted for their individual expertise. They could be brought back for several episodes, or all of them for the series finale. The ship could be the only constant.
Hitchcock knew that implied violence is more effective long term than overt gore. You can't become desensitized to your own imagination. GRRM's books are stories first, not gore & boob fests. He made you imagine the boobs and gore while showing you the story. Why do the GoT TV writers show you all the boobs and gore while making you imagine the story? I'll tell you why. It's because...
Some of the same writers on the other hand spent a lot of time making sure the stars go by in the right direction on the ship in Futurama, as they were trying to make the layout of the ship there a little more sensible, most of the time.
Despite the ship be nonsensical. FYI, it's not just the stars that move. The ship moves the entire universe!
Marriage exists precisely because humans are not naturally monogamous. If humans naturally mated for life, what advantage would there be in codifying the pair bonding in law, both as a commitment between two people and a commitment from the community (to police their union either socially or legally)? Naturally bonded humans would view marriage licenses and adultery laws like we would view laws telling people that they must eat food if they want to live.
But recognizing that humans are not naturally monogamous doesn't excuse cheating behavior; it only explains it.
Sounds like they boosted short term memory and processing at the expense of long term memory. The tiny mouse brains destroyed the older memories in favor of the new ones at a quicker rate than with normal mice.
If the video you post is, for whatever reason, popular enough that it could bring in ad revenue that makes it profitable vs. not continuing to host and distribute it, there is absolutely no basis for them to refuse to pay you.
If the works are public domain, the basis is "Google shows the works themselves, bypassing you".
That's like a movie summary of "contains frames that when viewed quickly give the illusion of motion". Of course a patch for Windows "fixes issues with Windows for some computers", but that's not a summary of what the patch does. "fixes XYZ problem with Windows ABC program when users perform a 123 action."
Reading the patch summaries would be nice if most of them weren't a minor variation of "Fixes an issue with Windows on some computers". That's a pretty useless summary.
The things that can be automated in table top gaming have been for ages. A common first program after "hello world" is a dice roller, character generator, or other similar table rolling automator. Beyond rolling, there's not a lot that can be automated without restricting the free form nature of the games.
But LARPing? There's no way to automate any of that. Unless you're LARPing as a miller or a blacksmith and you see engineering automation everywhere you look.
I go to work in shorts and a t-shirt, but just three computers in the office and it's suddenly 78F. I start feeling uncomfortable at 76-77. Give me 68-72F any day and I'll be much more productive. Those temperatures also include the winter months. Why turn the heat so high?
And if the cannibals ate known terrorists? AIDS spreaders purposefully had unprotected sex with known terrorists? Terrorists cut the heads off of known terrorists?
Illegal things are illegal.
Catfishing is a specific type of fishing where you stick your hand in a hole that probably has a giant alligator snapping turtle, but you hope has a catfish, and you hope that the catfish tries to eat your hand, then you pull your hand out and you have a ctafish for dinner. But if you find that snapping turtle, then you won't be using the word "catfishing".
That's like naming a software project OpenOffice.org. It's just asking for some level of confusion just to be cute (okay, oo.org was an attempt to alleviate confusion about.org vs.com domain name, but you get my drift). Call it what it is: the Great systemd Con.

Are you serious?
Perhaps you missed the CIS:Miami meme/joke at the end of my post. The serious tone was a necessary counterpoint.

YEAAHH!!!
Imagine if all the backbones inserted ads. A page with just "hello world!" would become a jumbled mess of ads and scripts.
GP's point is that the conclusion is true even though the reasoning is wrong. (Reasoning can't be true or false, but right or wrong)

The original comment here had to do with single issue voting.
Where was that said? A single issue that tipped a balance maybe, but the FP didn't say "I don't need to hear anything else!"
I agree with Trump's suggestions regarding H1-B visas, but that certainly wouldn't get me to vote for him.
Not you, but what about someone leaning on a fence?

This is a crap propaganda post. How much the state department is paying you?
