I have never seen the 'man' in the moon. What particular features make it look like a man or a face? I cannot discern them. Do others have this issue?

But it does infect your life. It is not on the same level, but it does so much more subtly.

When big pharma patents a drug and makes it so expensive people die, or they push a drug that is useless and even dangerous.

When Monsanto controls a significant portion of how food is produced.

When you cannot look to a local provider for nearly anything (internet, clothes, etc), because either they cannot compete or their prices are too high for everyman.

When laws are passed that curtail your freedoms in exchange for better profits to the few.

It does infect your everyday life, and I would argue that your have even less power to confront it as you would a direct bribe.

That is because in the US, it is the upper crust who are allowed to bribe. Regular everyday bureaucrats and gov. officials are fired/prosecuted for bribing. However once you climb above the bottom tier or two you find a good old boys network full of corporate campaign donations, lobbyist dinners, regulatory capture, backroom deals, etc. The corruption is there, but the public is blinded to it, because at least the police busted that person expediting taxi licenses for coke, and the clerk that was deleting parking tickets for half price. Oh and football!

I can see regulating limited spectrum, but streaming is different. Limiting streaming is corporate protectionism at best and censorship at worst.

Maybe something else? If her the observations we have still fit her calculations, then it is a valid theory.

...that they won't sell your info to the highest bidder? Especially if it is juicy. Or as mentioned, it could be a false flag.

What is needed is a two piece dead man switch. Storage that is encrypted, and a second party to hold the keys. Preferably the two parties do not know each other. Then in your will you instruct the key-holder to send the keys to the storage provider.

This is more complex and more likely to fail in the event of your death, but after that while it may be nice if your info is outed, buty ou are beyond caring.

I brew beer, cider, fermented lemonade and others. I use corn sugar rarely in beer when brewing, but it is allowable in some styles. I also use it in beer to bottle condition. It may not meet german purity law standards, but is perfectly acceptable.

I homebrew and use corn sugar all the time as it is more easily fermentable. However you can split sucrose on the stove. Look up recipes for invert sugar. A little heat and acid will do it

that works... rsync to offsite nas or friends server. Possibly even bittorrent sync

IANACS (I am not a climate scientist). However, some things to think about. Much of the Antarctic ice is on land. I can think of three reasons why there would be more sea ice.

1.The land Ice is moving to the sea (due to warming, increasing sea level).
2. Fresh water run off and/or higher precip cause the sea to be slightly fresher, causing it to freeze at higher temperatures (still warming caused, and if from runoff still increasing sea level).
3. It is colder, causing more sea ice.

We know for a fact that on average it is not colder ( http://www.ipcc.ch/publication... ), so my money is on some combination of the first two.

More sea ice does increase albedo and thus reduce infrared absorption, which is a negative feedback, but is it enough to reverse the trend locally or globally? That is beyond my ability to predict.

My uncle move to Orlando in the 80s, Still lives there. He is a professional musician, and submitted many songs to the Disny megalith (a few were purchased, I think for the Gummy Bears show).

At any rate, he rarely goes TOO the parks, but was taking family visiting one time and what does he hear playing in Epcot, but one of his -unpurchased- songs. To my knowledge he is still fighting them. While not as big as Deadmau5, it makes it blatantly obvious that as a corporation Disney wants copyright control and DRM to protect itself but cares nothing for anyone else they drop a mouse turd on.

Paleface? Are you an Injun?

Even if we sold the weapons, that should be with the explicit knowledge and contract that we would destroy them under certain circumstances. With our intelligence there should be no issue discovering when those criteria have been met.

I am not some anti-GMO freak, although I think it is hubris to assume that we can tinker with genomes without unintended consequences. This quote:

Is pure shite. It is called selective breeding, and it has been done for centuries. While that may not be advanced enough for you tastes, it works, and it improves plant varietals. You do not have to splice DNA to make improvements.

One day we may just go to far and drop like honeybees in a Monsanto cornfield.
