The first people that explored the oceans did it in open top hand rowed boats, sometimes aided by sail. The first time anything is always difficult, and often only makes it after repeated attempts and dumb luck. In addition to being more careful with what we have now we need to continue to explore and expand, entropy is coming for us...

Not when you have done it that way all of your life. Smallest number first, month, then date, then biggest number last, year. Just because you've never done it that way doesn't make it "stupid." It just makes you look small minded if you're unable to see multiple ways of doing something.

That or counterfeits, Amazon isn't very good with supply chain integrity, especially regarding reselling returns.

And one of them sells systems at a loss just to keep their operating system software relevant for the game development industry and to be able to set standards for said game environments.

Where are the crime reports? The Brady website has a grand total of 3 for the past 10 years... Seems like a lot of crying fire with not even smoke to back it up. And between you and me, I wouldn't want to do anything with these plastic pieces of trash, you're more likely to hurt yourself than whomever you point it at...

Sulphur dioxide is a pretty nasty pollutant, thought to cause asthma in millions of people among other health woes. It's production has been sharply curtailed via "ultra low sulphur diesel" and ammonia injection in motor vehicles. But somewhat ironically it actually has a global cooling effect in the upper atmosphere, thus counteracting to some degree the effects that the release of co2 has. This is true of most of the aerosols that were criticized in the 90s and banned, leading to a corresponding increase in global warming (and hopefully a sharp reduction in respiratory disease). Ain't nothin for freeðY".

Take away the prizes in the rat race and this really will be a shit show. If there's no such thing as success or failure, why play?

"Officer, I intend to fully cooperate, I just need my lawyer to be present" Don't be an ass, no matter how much you hate cops. They will find a way to throw you under the bus, don't give them a reason (or more reasons).

Nope. Gene therapy uses reverse transcriptase to add DNA to your genome, this vaccine does NOTHING of the sort. It's a tiny snippet of RNA that triggers your immune system and trains it to be ready for COVID. There's no grand conspiracy here, stop being the victim.

All it takes is one post-it note to blow the thing wide open. There's no way that two people can keep a complete secret, and the odds go down from there with more people knowing the secret. Sooner or later somebody screws up.

Some of us never stopped going to work, HVAC workers for example.

It's a problem in LA and San Diego too. You don't walk barefoot at some of the beaches anymore due to the fear of needles (I'm looking at you mission beach and pacific beach!)

You obviously haven't flown internationally from LAX, airport security there can take a solid 4 hours each way on a bad day, departure and arrival.

So this. A minority of the Islamic faith want to outright kill you where you stand for being of a different belief. The rest are content to watch. Just ask them.

There's some guys out there dropping electric three phase motors into normal ranger pickups, then hanging a couple of battery trays under the bed. Seems to work really well, easily gets 150+ miles of range, and only runs on the 10-15k range.
