One man's vigilante is another man's outlaw. The problem with a vigilante is that they start out on the same side of the law as those they want to punish.

The definition of vigilante would seem to depend more on your perspective than any established facts, and that to me is the whole problem with being a vigilante. Remember the guy that showed up at Planet Pizza, independently investigating Pizzagate?

I am really curious about this - if I place a satellite dish in California and one in New York, do I know have a receiver as large as the Untied States?

American or European stadiums?

It is a symptom of humanity's hubris to believe that an area the size of Earth is considered huge when measuring the massive black hole that sits at the center of our galaxy.

They are landing this drone twelve miles off shore. Pretty sure that's to avoid pesky government regulation at the 12 mile limit but that means they have to off-load at sea, load it into boats, take it to harbor, go through customs and then ship the milk from the nearest port to the final destination. How is that going to work out for Beijing? Or Chicago? Most of delivery is about the final mile. Landing these things at sea just adds more distance and complication to that.

Take a look at these pictures of polio survivors. See the "rare" complications of surviving that disease? And who does pay for the treatment that those complications demand? Can you afford a lifetime of care for your child should they get paralysis from polio or brain damage from measles? How much cheaper (and safer) is a vaccine compared to that?

Nothing, even just stepping out your front door, is ever completely safe. We live in a dangerous world. Demanding that vaccines be 100 percent effective and 100 percent safe is an impossibility. That is why vaccine makers are shielded from liability through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, so that those that do have adverse reactions can be compensated and those that make the vaccines don't face financial ruin.

Finally, every time I hear someone say "Follow the money" in regards to vaccination I feel compelled to point out that if all that motivated a corporation was profit, they would profit more selling sixty years worth of treatment and care for all those polio victims rather than just provide two simple shots.

No, NO, NO!!

Get your units of measurement correct - this is like spotting a tater tot in orbit around a Volkswagen Bug 1000 miles away.

Kids these days,..

Within two miles south or east of me are two McDonald's, each run by different franchisees. The one east of me is terrible, usually messy looking, slow to complete orders (and you better double-check that they got it right) and one where - on more than one occasion - I have witnessed intense arguments between employees held right in front of customers.

The other one is almost always clean, quick and courteous. The employees go out of the way to be helpful. While I hesitate to call eating at McDonald's enjoyable at least at that McDonald's I feel they do care about making my visit pleasant.

There are levels of service in fast food restaurants, even within the same chain. And while I would not mind seeing kiosks replace employees in at least one location I do feel that the other would lose something without its employees.

I think we've got plenty of porn to share with them right now (and don't you just wonder where they got those tiny cigarettes they light up afterwards?)

Yes, true, but how will you know that if you don't date and see if they might be a potential long term partner? All the attractive picture and common interests do is establish a basis for setting up a date. It doesn't mean that things are going to work out great just because you both like acoustic guitar groups...

I've seen this movie about giant crystals threatening the world. It was actually pretty good, so I'm off to make some popcorn and wait for those things to burst out of the ground.

They may very well be dishonest, self-serving and manipulative, but are the complaints valid? Do the complaints about pay and working conditions stand on their own? If they do then Tesla needs to address those.

Has Tesla ever produced an analysis of their pay and benefits versus those of a unionized shop? Showing that there are advantages to working without unions sounds like a better response than assigning morality to what are essentially monetary transactions.

I can see you have a hard time ascertaining what is and is not reality. Trump was never a member of the Democratic National Committee. He registered as a Republican in 2009 and started his "birtherism" bullshit in 2011 when he considered running for President (as a Republican) in 2012.

That's it, I'm heading down to the local planning office at Alpha Centauri and lodging a stern complaint about this new hyperspace bypass.
