Japan is having problems because of massive overfishing. And when they can't find any close my, they use their long range trawlers to fish in other countries waters. The amount of black market seafood i saw there was crazy. We have even found blue whale (genetically verified.)

You can have a healthy diet as a vegan, as vegetarian and as a meat eater. It is perhaps a bit harder for a vegan. However all of the above can have quite unhealthy diets as well. And while we talking about health. It should be noted that even small amounts of physical activity have a large effect on general health regardless of diet.

God no. You compile to a slackware package. Either with a Slackbuild script someone has already written (true of just about everything out there), or write one yourself and release it to the community.

It has happened to me more than once with nothing but default settings and repos on Fedura and Debian i think?

I use slackware because of that. I hate when i get 5 gigs of crap update that is 99.9% not needed, and then breaks things. Its like people are taking the worst of windows and putting it on linux.

My last slackware install has need just 2 packages updated because of security advisories in the last year. JUST 2. I get work done, not piss around on the internet with updates every 3 hours.

you can't watch porn on a text terminal.

Its Spider Pig!

No they haven't. Any metallurgist will tell you that current life times on modern cars is pretty dam close to miraculous. think you need a new tin foil hat.. Hay perhaps the guy making your hats designed it to break down....

a grenade in an RPG is not much more complicated than a the tube either you know. The hard part is the chemistry.

I would like to see you print that!

Speak for yourself. I am now the proud owner of 1000s of tulips!

Wrong!

The guns i own, or more accurately rifles. Are indeed made for one purpose. Hunting game. They are in fact not great at other roles, such has home defense.

In NZ we have a lot of introduced animals and the conservation groups are begging us to hunt more.

There are plenty of reasonable reasons for personal gun ownership.

Armed to the teeth? I only have 5 rifles and one shotgun. I would like a few more. And cheaper ammo.

You know other countries provide such things for free or so close to free and have had no problems. Medical tests are even designed that way. If you test positive to the first test your still 99% sure to be clear. The much more expensive test is then carried out. Doing just the expensive test on 100% of the relevant population would be stupid and expensive.

I see no evidence that this would save any lives, unlike free mammograms. It would however have a lot of false positives, or not work at all.
