Delta IV Heavy + deep impact targeting system + B53 = 9MT wherever you want it on the asteroid. The B53 is already hardened for use as a bunker buster so as long as you can keep relative velocity at impact similar to the reentry speed it was designed for you don't have to worry too much about where you land it on the asteroid.
How do I turn all this crap off? I do not want "charms" or active notifications or dancing paper clips.
Just run all my programs fast and don't make me notice your interface. Why is that so hard?
Sure there's always a few garage developers/wanna-be entrepreneurs/SOHO users, but they're a niche.
But certainly, you don't consider all the people who have PCs on their desks at work to be a "niche", do you?
Is it "pro-science" to want to keep the provenance of consumers' food a secret?
Yes retard.
The pro-GMO argument distilled to its essence.
"Safe" doesn't even have to be the issue. The issue is, why are these people so keen to make sure consumers don't know where their food comes from? Even more important, why are they so keen to make sure that consumers don't know where their food money is going?
When I buy a bag of rice or an ear of corn, I want to know whether or not my money is going to pay for a license fee for intellectual property covering a basic foodstuff. Because I would rather it did not. And for some strange reason, there is a group of people out there who believe I should not have that choice as a consumer, and they use "science" as their reason.
Which brings up an interesting point, the WH doesn't seem to have an intermediate defense against things like small aircraft, cruise missiles, or mortars (the IRA attacked #10 downing street with mortars). I wonder why they don't add CIWS to the roof as a complement to the manpads which are intended for larger aircraft?
It's "anti-science" to be opposed to the application of intellectual property laws to basic foodstuffs? It's "anti-science" to be opposed to putting ownership of that IP in the hands of companies like Monsanto?
Is it "pro-science" to want to keep the provenance of consumers' food a secret?
The problem with you pro-GMO people is that for some reason, you appear desperate to promote something for which there is no benefit to consumers and that may cause serious harm to the economics and politics of our food supply.
PCs have 2 major remaining market niches:
1) Enterprise(/educational) workstations (Like, for doing WORK on.)
2) PC Gaming)
What does it say about us that we now consider "doing work" to be a niche?
But I'd argue that elections in the US are designed to give people no real choice.
It's kind of the same thing. People don't vote because they can see through the charade and figure they have more important things to do, like sort their sock drawers alphabetically according to color.
that magical wall is sometimes called a paywall
And corporations are paying the bills. Just look at the names on the fancy new buildings in every Ag department at every major university.
Please explain how universities churn out paper after paper after paper sounding the alarm on climate change in the face of the multi-trillion dollar oil/gas industry that lobbies hard against said research,
Why do you think climate change became so "controversial"? It's because it wasn't supposed to happen. That's why you have enormous butthurt on the part of the oligarchs. They just can't believe that all these scientists went off the reservation.
You know the pro-GMO people must be right, because there arguments always include copious insults. That's the sure sign of a winning argument.
As far as bitcoin being nonsense, the New York Stock Exchange and a large bank just invested in a bitcoin company:
"The New York Stock Exchange and a large bank..."
They'd invest in tulip bulbs is there were sufficient suckers. Which in the case of Bitcoin, there most certainly are.
Good luck with your GaltBucks, boyo.
Not all of us are idiots.
If you have to say that, it's probably not true.
