That's a non-issue. The bitcoins are being auctioned in lots of 3,000 which means each lot is worth about 1.7 million dollars. Anyone who can afford to make a reasonable bid will have no difficulty putting up a $200k deposit.
Colorado, Connecticut and Hawaii have the lowest obesity levels of US states and there's nothing that makes them unique as a group genetically or environmentally from the rest of the US.
You've fnever been to Hawaii, have you.
The environment and available foods are very different from the rest of the US. About half the population is Asian, too, so there are some pretty obvious genetic differences than the rest of the US.
People are getting fatter because it is becoming more normal to be fat (less social stigma)
Now you're just making shit up. Go look at paitnings and descriptions of desirable women prior to the mid 1800s. Fat women were desirable. Thin was equated with starvation and poverty. It was only in the late 1800s and early 1900s that the idea that thin was more beautiful took hold.
And today? We have models literally starving themselves to death and hatred towards fat people has never been greater.
A great many of us would have paid for the CD or DVD if we had no other choice, so yes, piracy is a lost sale.
Well, no, piracy is not necessarily a lost sale. "A geat many of us would have paid" is not the same as "every one of us would have paid."
Claiming that piracy doesn't hurt sales is a lie, but claiming that every pirated copy is a lost sale is also a lie.
And you can trust everything an AC says, right?
BTW, you owe me $500 for that bet you made with me the last time you were blackout drunk. You probably don't remember it, but you can trust me. I would never make shit up.
re I live, it costs more in permits than materials to build a two-bedroom house.
Bullshit.
Even in the most expensive parts of the country, you could barely manage to build an uninhabitable, unfinished shell of a house for the price of a building permit.
Your response makes no sense.
Science involves making observations, but making observations is not science (otherwise every guy at the beach would be a scientist).
Not being able to fully explain how something works, on the other hand, is where science starts. When we start questioning what we've observed, developing theories to explain it and gathering evidence to support/disprove those theories... that's science.
it has not been promoted to the level of law (in the sense of the law of gravity or the law of thermodynamics
The funny thing is, we know less about gravity than we do about evolution.
We know that there is something that causes attraction between objects and can make predictions based on our observations of that effect, but we can't explain with any certainty how it actually works or why it exists. There are a variety of competing theories, but we don't have enough evidence to determine if any of them is even close to correct.
Thanks to the development agriculture, selective breeding, the sacrifice of billions of fruit flies and the
abundance of fossil evidence we've uncovered, we actually understand evolution far better than we understand gravity.
The thing is... it's a lot harder to deny the existence of gravity when someone can throw you off a cliff to prove it.
It doesn't really matter what authors think.
The public decides what they're going to buy and that, in turn, decides whether the publishers will continue to exist and the authors tied to those publishers will continue to make a living.
And there are authors who will argue that self publishing is the future and is great for writers, despite your insistence that they don't exist.
The dumbass who wrote "jet fuel" is you.
The word "jet" does not appear in the summary nor does it appear in the article. Nobody else is referring to kitty litter as jet fuel. Just you.
McVeigh knowingly targeted a building with a day care center in it and killed 19 kids along with the rest of his victims.
That isn't patriotism and it isn't "action against the government." That's straight up terrorism.
You're confusing the 1993 game by Bullfrog with the 2012 remake by Starbreeze.
Your definition of "epic" seems to be the same as the rest of the world's definition of "mundane."
I never said I was an expert on chemistry. I can, however, read and comprehend the statement that our main source of industrially produced hydrogen is from hydrocarbons.
In other words, our main source of hydrogen is, in fact, pumped out of the ground.
Hydrogen production is the family of industrial methods for generating hydrogen. Currently the dominant technology for direct production is steam reforming from hydrocarbons.
Much like the person I responded to, you seem to know absolutely nothing about chemistry and the commercial production of hydrogen.
BLISS is ignorance.
