You could also fix your lock.

If sitting at a "Whites Only" counter at a restaurant typically yielded 35 years in federal prison, I think he might have had a different attitude on how to fight unjust laws.
You are still not understanding. Both 'to wound' and 'to kill' are incorrect. You shoot to stop the threat. That may result in the target being killed, sure. But if you fill a guy with five holes, he collapses onto the floor and lays there motionless, but alive, you are not allowed to finish him off, which is what your claim of "always shoot to kill" would say you do.
"Always shoot to kill" might have been acceptable for police because they are behind the wall of blue thugs.

That's not all that astounding of a claim, there are many such organisms that have not changed much for many tens and hundreds of millions of years. They are often called Living Fossils. Examples include the nautilus, crocodiles, horseshoe crabs, and the hagfish as in TFA.
They determine this by examining fossils from a wide range of geological time frames and see that present day organisms are virtually unchanged from whats in the fossil record.
There are in the scientific literature published algorithms that produce approximate results well in the "good enough" range, 2-5% larger than optimal, to be worthwhile. For large and small datasets, with millions of points.
Furthermore, it doesn't matter that the warehouse has millions of items, the complexity of the problem depends only on the size of the order, or the sizes of how many orders can be fit in your rolly bin.
It's wouldn't be objectively any nastier than the other toxic substances such as hydrazine that would be sprayed all over the place in an explosion. "Dirty bombs" are not something to be taken seriously. Blowing up an equal mass of mercury would be more dangerous than the uranium, and the damage uranium would pose is more that it is a heavy metal than due to it being radioactive.
There are people with empathy that can still make the hard decisions, as opposed to the psychopaths in TFA that consider only themselves. Not all people with empathy are blubbering idiots.
The ketchup comment was in response to Zare's 1996 claims of organic compounds on meteorites found in Antarctica. NASA's discovery is something different.
Not all policies, many will still payout on suicide. Sometimes there are conditions, like the insured has to have the policy for a certain amount of time before its in force, often 2 years, but either way, the claim "All life insurance policies become void in case of suicide" is false.
What makes you think leaving is going to make the terrorist organizations flourish? We are their best recruiting tool. It's a lot easier to recruit people to fight against an enemy, when that enemy is flying drones around constantly blowing shit up and murdering people.
We are absolutely creating more terrorists than we are killing. The US is going to have a far worse 'terrorism' problem on its hands in 10-20 years if this shit continues.
Hey, I've got a crappy 93 accord a friend and I bought off another friend for $125 bucks. I think it would be fun to enter one of those races. How much did it cost you to install all the safety equipment into your vehicle?
It takes a seriously long time for water to get back into the aquifers. If you are drinking a glass of water from a well, it could have easily been 50 or 100 years since that water was last above the surface. If you're pumping the water out faster than its being replenished, the ground can sink, and close up the voids resulting from extraction. Over time, that will reduce the aquifers total capacity. And this change is not reversible.
Except it is also a physical problem. The subsidence of land, as a result of groundwater extraction, is not reversible. In some places, such as the San Joaquin Valley, the ground has literally sunk nearly 30 feet. Those aquifers require geologic periods of time to form. The aquifers in that valley will never again be what they used to be.
The destruction of ground water systems is a classic tragedy of the commons.
Fighting harder is not what is important. What matters is fighting better, and that will usually go to whoever is the best trained and has the best equipment.
