How difficult can it actually be to filter out the fish from the inrushing water?
Pretty difficult, I imagine. In no time at all, your filter will be completely clogged with all kinds of marine life and junk.
The obvious solution is to just install a filter over it, to keep the first filter from getting clogged.
Why are there so many studies about a non-existent problem ? If you want to model a disease, why not a deadly flu ?
People don't pay attention to scenarios involving plain old flu. Zombies are essentially a placeholder for all types of disasters. Responses to zombie outbreaks include quarantine, crowd control, logistics, evacuations, communication with media and the population, areas blocked off due to a natural disaster(flood, earthquake, etc) modeled as "infected area", etc. For people, a zombie "bug out bag" containing water/food/medicine is good to use if you lose power or have to evacuate to a shelter during storms/disasters, and planning routes to avoid heavily trafficked areas are helpful if given an order to evacuate as well. Zombies are just a generic disaster that cover pretty much every facet of any kind of disaster response.
Oh, wait, did you mean the airstrikes were IMPROVING our safety? ROFL WAFL!
It has allowed the Kurds to take back some territory. Without it, ISIS would have continued to expand their territory, and become a greater threat.
I firmly believe that the Kurds are the only ones with the willpower to stand up to and defeat ISIS. The problem is that the US cannot supply arms to the Kurds because they also want an independent Kurdish state which would essentially destroy the friendly government we have in Iraq.
So Amazon just patented 3-D printing... ON A TRUCK? What other existing technologies can we add "on a truck" to to create a novel invention?
I'm going to take all those with/on a computer patents and add on a truck to the end of them. I'll be rich!
3. I love short three month gigs. After all I earn in three month more than I need for 15 month of living.
You must be living very frugally. Never got out of the spending habits formed during the grad student days, I suppose.
That's about the only way to save money these days. (Note: not a programmer/developer) I recently changed positions in my company that was literally (and I mean that in the actual sense and not "figuratively") a 60% increase. Haven't changed my spending habits at all, other than eating out a bit more. Went from breaking even each month to actually being able to save some AND I can actually pay off some of my student loans.
Non-expanding bullets injure more often than kill. A wounded soldier can be recovered and get medical attention. A wounded deer may run off and die slowly in a lot of pain. By the way it is legal in some places to hunt some animals with non expanding bullets.
DEER Rifles using centerfire, mushrooming ammunition.
BOBCAT, GROUNDHOG, UNPROTECTED WILDLIFE, FOX, COYOTE & FERAL SWINE Rifles of any caliber.
Notice that deer hunting has the mushrooming ammunition restriction but the other category does not. That is because deer take more energy to kill.
The others are also predators and nuisance animals. We use
"What traits are off limits? Should the authorities be able to test whether a suspect...is prone to violence should such testing be possible?"
Because it's hard to tell if someone who killed 2 people is violent....
"In 1868, the Great Powers agreed under the Saint Petersburg Declaration to ban exploding bullets, which by spreading metal fragments inside a victim’s body could cause more suffering than the regular kind. "
Enjoy
And ever since, until the advent of full metal jacket rounds, soldiers were carving Xs into the soft lead tips of their rounds so that the heads would fragment inside the body. Memoirs and other personal accounts from every side in both WWI and WWII recount both doing this to their own ammunition and being on the receiving end of "dum dums". When people are trying to kill you the only rule that matters is survival.
And those men like Robert E. Lee weren't traitors
He served in the United States Army, before the war, as a Commissioned Officer, which by definition means he swore an oath to preserve and protect the United States. If you're worried about your State one day needing to leave the Union then you probably shouldn't be swearing oaths to preserve the Union.
The only difference between them is that most in the South say themselves not just as Americans, but ultimately as Virginians, Georgians, Mississippians, etc.
Parse this part of the 14th Amendment:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
You do realize the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution AFTER the Civil War, in 1868, right? And that ratifying it was one of the conditions imposed on the Southern states during reconstruction. So there was nothing in the Constitution that prohibited what they did. Also, but 1898 Congress generally removed disabilities incurred due to the 14th Amendment by those involved in the Confederacy. Lee's citizenship was also restored retroactively to June 13 1865, but that didn't happen until 1975. Davis got his restored in 1978. So no, they are not traitors.
There is no equation between the "clean hands" of the North and South on this particular issue. Nor is there on the issue of treason, since many of the most prominent leaders of the South (including their God, Robert E. Lee) swore oaths to the United States that they later broke. It's not a simple matter of someone fighting for home, these people specifically swore oaths to the United States. As far as I'm concerned the lot of them are traitors and the South got off easy for its crimes against the Union and Humanity.
What about those thousands of Irish and German immigrants the North essentially impressed right of the boats into the Union army? And those men like Robert E. Lee weren't traitors, they loved and fought for their homes just as much as the men from the North did. The only difference between them is that most in the South say themselves not just as Americans, but ultimately as Virginians, Georgians, Mississippians, etc. A traitor is someone who betrays their home. These men didn't betray their home; they just had a different idea of what their home was. If anyone was a traitor is was Booth, since when he killed Lincoln he not only assassinated the President, he killed the best friend the South had in the North after the war.
For those who don't know, it is quite common (even standard procedure) in military operations to allow a certain quota of "collateral damage". In other words, governments not only "OK" the killing of innocents -- they expect and plan for it.
You expect it and plan for it so that you can minimize it. Battles themselves if not whole wars, are fought over resources (whether they be towns/land/populations, gold/oil/lumber/diamonds, or even simply political capital in the case of wars-"our economy sucks and people are mad at our political party, let's invade someone!"-like the Faulklands War) and there are usually civilians found in these areas. It is not immoral to expect and plan for civilian deaths. Immorality occurs when you do nothing to mitigate those potential deaths, or even worse intentionally seek them out. Detonating a bomb in a crowded marketplace is immoral. Using precision ammunition to target a bunker underneath an apartment building or mortars/rockets in a school instead of carpet bombing them so you don't destroy surrounding buildings is not. Often, those who hide behind civilians benefit more from the deaths of those civilians than they would protecting them and will even go out of their way to ensure greater civilian casualties.
Anyone else find it a little disturbing there's a chemical weapons magazine?
Well they tried a Candle of the Month Club but it came to an abrupt end after only 1 month. Not really sure who thought a Mustard Gas candle was a good idea.
Look -- I'm here in Europe, so from a selfish standpoint that's fine and dandy. But why the hell not in the US? Somehow I smell shenanigan.
So they can "sell" the usage of these data centers to other divisions of Apple, thereby funneling profits to Ireland resulting in reduced taxes.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
