So what you're saying is... if we just bury our head in the sand and just ignore these diseases, no one will ever get sick from them. Wow.... whoud'a thunk that'd werk!

SCO are a measurement of degrees of patent trolling. "That bullshit Linux case was well over a million SCO units!"

The unit you want is SHU.

They want to deploy more spy droids. The spies can turn on your webcam now. I bet google glasses are tapped.

Which is nice, but we're also not talking about the knee-jerk, hoard everything mental cases that bought into "the big bad government is coming" bullshit hysteria of the past 5 years.... we're talking hunters. I don't think you hunt moose with a 223, and while i can't find rules about pistols off hand, a 9mm would not be advisable... which is a big understatement; minimum effective would be a 44+. F&G has a page of info/suggestions (for rifle):

For a subsistence hunter, you want a weapon that will bring in food... not a toy that gives you a hard-on when you talk about it at the local bar.

No clue on the regs for transporting ammo, but i think you'd find the bigger problem the actual cost of transporting, although obviously someone is doing it... but it might not be the goldmine you think or more people would be doing it as hunting has been part of the Alaskan lifestyle for pretty much ever.

You haven't been keeping up on the current insanity/stupidity driven ammo market. Common game rounds are running $1+ per, if you can find it... and that here in the lower US. As for the "that, or ammo is insanely expensive where you hail from," we're talking about Alaska.... no need to guess.

Used to be, some years ago now, you could go onto Ebay and sell those Wu's Fighting Gauntlets for $4-5. The difference between those gloves and bitcoins is: bitcoins are absolutely useless against giant spiders the size of small huts.

At least they didn't invest (aka: give a private company) billions to provide them with a completely useless computer system over the course of a decade that was totally outdated before the first dollar was spent, and wasn't compatible with anything.

In the past 35,000 to 50,000 years that our ancestors have had some form of religious or shamanistic practices, there has never, ever, not even once, ever, been a single piece of evidence for a god, gods, goddesses, or maker.... ever. If creationism were to be given a second of consideration out of a decade of time, that would already be more than it's fair share.

Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence; in this case, the claim of "creationism" at least need a single piece of actual evidence.... and the delusions of mentally ill people does not count.

The problem with writing is that sarcasm and humor sometimes don't work well, and come out looking like someone making a sarcastic, humorous comment is actually making a statement which they believe. If your comment is an attempt to use sarcasm and humor, i apologize ahead of time.

If, on the other hand, you're actually putting forth what you honestly believe.. then you are a fucking idiot. Worse than that, you're a fucking idiot who's either incredibly stupid and refuses to actually learn what's in the Bible, or you're a lying idiot trying to minimize all the sociopathic bullshit that God not only condoned, but commanded people do.... all written in the Bible.

Pielke earned a B.A. in mathematics (1990), a M.A. in public policy (1992), and a Ph.D. in political science, all from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Point, set, match. You don't go to a car mechanic if you're having a heart attack. Pielke isn't a actual scientist, he's a political scientist who doesn't understand real science enough to make use of it, but he has a big enough mouth and the tenacity of diarrhea of that same orifice to gather a following of other incredibly intentionally ignorant dipshits who's world view his basic stupidity confirms.

If we're losing more money to natural disasters because we have more money in general, we be losing more money to ALL natural disaster types across the board, not just seeing a spike from weather related ones.

This Pielke numbnut is basically like a radical religious homeschooled idiot trying to debunk The Theory of Natural Selection using the Bible; only already true believers without a functioning ability to use logic will agree with his clearly incorrect screed.

Yes, like Laetrile. That wonder drug saved so many lives and cured cancer and made hair grow back and... wait... what? Cyanide kills people? No shit. Well, at least it made some con artists a bunch of money while it was killing people because they took it instead of medicine that might actually have helped.

Plover said it perfectly in a post above:

More on point, all this study says is that, once again, we have a bunch of stupid fucking ignorant people in the US who don't even have a passing acquaintance with reality.

Will this be called F-WAD?

I'm immediately reminded of the "news" articles about about the "religious archeologist" who found a sliver of iron from a site in Israel, and pronounced they had found a nail from the crucifixion. What a complete pile of bullshit you get anymore when some social science dumbass tries to figure out anything.
