I'm pretty sure that the planet Krikkit had no sky because they were in a nebula and could not see any other stars. And as soon as they learned about other worlds, the first thought they had was they'd have to destroy everything. And then the killer robots came for us all.

You don't need to hire experts right off the bat. What you want to hire is someone who recognizes that they don't know the answer, and tells you that, and then immediately says they'd go research it to find out. "Can I Google that?" is a perfectly valid answer sometimes. If you hire a person who knows how to learn whatever it is you need them to become an expert in, you'll have a new employee who is not only going to be a valuable asset for where you're hiring them, but also has the flexibility to expand to other areas when necessary.

TL;DR: Stop looking for purple unicorns, and start looking for fast learners.

In the case of Goat Simulator, it was designed to be bad and super low budget on purpose (it WAS just an April Fool's joke originally.) I don't know about Mount Your Friends.

How much are you paying Reddit for the privilege for them to post your comments? They're a privately owned organization. They have no obligation to post anything they don't want.

And where should these students place them if they live in the dorms? Not everyone lives in a house with a back yard when they're in college.

I believe it was the FCC that granted them exemptions in the first place, so the FCC has the rights to take them away.

Generally that statistic refers to "at any given age, averaged out." You're 30% more likely to die at age 60 if you don't exercise, compared to if you do. Conversely, you're 30% more likely to die at age 60 if you exercise too intensely, compared to those who exercise in moderation. Most of those weighted averages also stop around age 90 or so, depending on their methodology, since few people live that long and those that do are quite unlikely to be jogging multiple miles every day.

That's what I did. But I'm also allergic to children, so it was a reasonable decision.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Both schools are merely "things I drive past going to the airport."

If I'm envisioning the location of this bridge properly, it's adjacent to the school. I-75/85 is basically the east side border of their campus. They don't think of it as public infrastructure, they think of it as the boundary.

It's not every art student who gets to say their project brought in a bomb squad! (I'd say that's normally the domain of freshman chemistry students.)

I whitelist specific sites that I believe deserve my revenue. For example, webcomics, if the artist asks me nicely. Or I pay the website that offers a premium, ad-free experience the fee they want me to pay to justify their content creation or my bandwith usage (I pay for digital FM premium just to shut the ads up, since they are all audio.)

The point is that it's MY choice to pay for the reduced advertising experience, thanks to AdBlock.

If they can devise a process to artificially create the effective compounds, they can patent that. But that only works when there is an identifiable effective compound.

There's Tamiflu, which can lessen flu symptoms. So there's that.

No, I think it's perfectly fine to require a company to have to prove that their product does what they say it does, or at the least, require that they provide refunds when it doesn't. If I buy a PS4, I expect it to play PS4 games, and if it doesn't, I have 30 days to return it. If I buy a case of beer that says variety pack but it turns out to only contain brown ale, the store is going to let me return it.

Many of these supplement companies do have a money back guarantee, but they make it such a hassle to return the product that most people chalk it up as a loss. I don't mind them being allowed to make whatever claims they want about efficacy as long as they're required to take it back when it doesn't work.
