The temperature the inside of the car can achieve is going to depend on a few factors:
  * How insulating the car is
  * How much energy is being recieved
  * The ambient temperature

Polar latitudes are going to have a low insolation and and a low ambient temperature, which will massively lower how hot the car can get.

1) Caramel coloring is generally not required to be specially labelled (can be listed as "artificial coloring") because its literally caramelized carbohydrates.
2) HFCS and sucrose are basically indistinguishable other than trace additives once your body metabolizes them; the sucrose becomes a mix of fructose and glucose.

I have never seen any study suggesting that, except the single widely ridiculed Yale study. Not surprising given how nearly identical sucrose and HFCS are in the gut.

Transparent aluminum would probably be sapphire, and Im not sure what genius thought it impossible.

TIL history isnt valid.

So he asks for evidence, you dont provide any, and you get a +5 mod.

Good work, guys.

No, but this is slashdot and trite (and unprovable!) comments about corruption are an easy way to a +5 insightful.

Cost overruns are not a DBA or engineering issue, theyre a management issue.

1) Dont be guilty.
2) Tell them to get a warrant
3) Profit.

For the record they need a warrant to get an image to crack, and its generally not feasible to do.

I get the record that only like 3 people on slashdot actually understands how the justice system works. You do know that the prosecution doesnt get to decide your sentence, regardless of what they tell you, right? You do know theyre not obligated to be your buddy, right?

Trite remarks are good for getting +5 mods, but dont be deceived-- theres nothing informative about your post.

Theres never one thing that causes society to collapse. Its an array of factors, and the breakdown of law and order is one of them. Breaking laws contributes to that; maybe it will never cause society to breakdown, maybe it will-- but you're acting as a tumor on society when you do break those laws.

I feel like we're not communicating. Im explaining a general principle ("breaking laws = furthering the cause of anarchy") and you're asking me about a particular law that you dont like. Change the law, or obey it, or work towards the breakdown of law and order.

The "exceptions" come when the damage caused by obeying the law is worse than the damage done to the functioning of society (ie, Jim Crow laws). Breaking said laws may still be a negative factor for society, but it is a much greater net positive. This isnt the case with marijuana laws.

Well, until the wedding planning team mentioned to the BBQ shop that it was for a wedding, and pork / beef suddenly became scarce resources.

Stats regarding who is / isnt Christian and what theyre like are all over the road depending on your criteria:

  * Do Jehovah's Witnesses / Mormons (who deny pretty core tenets) figure into the stats?
  * Is belief in the deity of God / Christ required?
  * Is any particular personal conviction required, or just an upbringing by professors?
etc.

I recall a poll (Gallup?) that had some 75% of responants claiming to be christian, but only something like 50% believed in the deity of Christ (pretty much required for anything resembling Christianity), and the number goes down when you ask about a personally knowable God vs a transcendent watchmaker. The word Christian may just be the most ambiguously used word in the english language; when someone tells me theyre Christian, it tells me basically nothing at all except that they dont think theyre atheist (but some actually are).

When you break the law you incur real costs to society. Either get the law fixed or join another society.

Right! And a lot of people are part of the reasons we have laws: Because they tend to work towards the breakdown of society, and we need the cudgel of law and order to restrain them.

That doesnt mean all laws are good or well written, but again, if the benchmark for what is legal is your own preference, you are a parasite on society to that same degree.
