You may not know this, but Yellowstone is largely in a state called Wyoming.
You may not know this, but the Yellowstone volcano complex has a history of massively explosive eruptions, not just pouring out lava. The Lava Creek ash bed from the explosion 630,000 years ago extends to the Gulf of Mexico and is as much as 4m thick in places like New Mexico and Kansas.
planets can't gain weight over the holidays like the rest of us
Actually they do. It's estimated that the Earth gains at least 164,000 kg per day from meteoric accretion. (Barker, J.L. and Anders, E. "Accretion rate of cosmic matter from iridium and osmium contents of deep-sea sediments." Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 32, 627-645 (1968))
... illegal and un-Constitutional activity and I do think it is "criminal" and "un-American" respectively.
You forgot "treason". That's the other word for acts against the Constitution.
You know, I think I heard that one of these NSA/CIA guys had a suggestion about what should be done with people who commit treason - something about ropes and necks...
I prefer Pobble Beads, but you can't pay for a latte with Pobble Beads so I went with Spacebucks.
Snowden's job was to incite outrage, soon after which the public would grow tired of outrage, settle down, and learn to get used to business as usual.
If you want to bend over and getting the shaft, hey, please do it privately.
I'd wager that there won't be too many people like you, happy to be "shagged" by NSA (or any other spooks)
You'd lose that wager. There are definitely too many.
Spend 30 seconds on Facebook or Twitter to see how concerned people are about their privacy. As long as they can keep publicly posting their most intimate details they don't care what the NSA does.
If it's done right (probably not) this is what trucks need to be. Rust is one of the biggest killers of working trucks so a well-built aluminum truck would be a godsend.
But as Firethorn said, skip the
I don't know what article you were reading, but the one linked in the summary says he was teaching programming to librarians. I can't fathom why he was trying to do that though. I know some librarians, and writing software isn't something they get paid to do.
For inventing the most used murdering tool?!?
Are you sure about that? I know reliable numbers would be hard to get, but I suspect that swords and arrows still hold a bit of a lead. The did have several thousand years head start after all.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 11' inflatable reindeer in my 20x30 front yard pushes me into the Grizwold category - and I say that beaming with pride.
Why is not celebrating any of the religious days in this period considered bug humbug? Do you decorate your dwelling for Muslim holidays? (Of which the Christian Christmas, and the Gregorian New Year are neither.)
Where I live, not only isn't there winter (or summer for that matter), there are a variety of religions, they all (or at least most of them) get official holidays. I'm irreligious myself, so I'll be doing nothing special this Christmas. But why does "bah humbug" apply? Because people are pushing their religion and/or point of view on others.
The poll could easily have said simply "not at all".
Thank you for providing such a carefully crafted example of a bah humbug attitude.
"We just did that stuff because it seemed like such a good idea. The $10 mil was just a
No, no, and just in case you're having trouble keepin up, NO!
Sorry, there is (naturally) nothing in the article or the court ruling about adding an extra fine for low quality. Would have been nice, though. =:)
Except for this: "In the case of Beck film calculated the damages including the cost of licensing the movie, on the division struck against the sale and to the shared film quality deteriorated film's reputation."
Its odd how online activism is treated much differently than that which occurs in meatspace. Many protests occur in real life where access to buildings or simply roads are blocked yet the treatment of the two types protestors is very different.
So you're suggesting that online activists should be tear-gassed, clubbed, and maybe a few of them shot? That doesn't seem very practical.
Spray painting a wall costs people time and money, and you know what, we don't drop fines that ruin peoples' lives over it.
Good point. It's about time we changed that. The current penalties certainly haven't proved to be a deterrent.
Gee, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
