Maybe you should move to a country with a modern banking system. Been able to make and receive money via email for years in Kanuckistan direct from a bank account, no cc or bank account info transferred, no cc required.t

That's because only a tiny bit of consumers are even aware blackberry still exists, and most of those who are aware have written them off.

Shadow bans used to hide disagreements of opinion with the site operator are a sign of deteriorating quality Example: groklaw. As time went on, even qiestioning anything was dangerous. Shadow bans encourage spammers because their posts are still visible. Putting a "spam comment deleted" sends the message to all spammers to try their luck elsewhere.

Digging ditches pays quite will. We have a lot of buried infrastructure, and experienced backhoe operators who won't damage to services in close proximity make halfway decent coin

The report of the lack of men's shelters in Canada is totally inaccurate. Just because you want to make a living running a shelter of any kind doesn't mean you're going to get government funding. There are plenty of shelters for men who are homeless for whatever reason.

Here you can walk into the local CLSC and get a referral to a shelter for abused men.

Unfortunately, to many SJWs seem to think that feminism isn't just about equality. They're just the latest iteration of that transphobic nutbar Germaine Greer. Bra-burning was never the way to achieve equality, just sensationalist attention-grabbing that took away from the real issues, same as SJWs today are more of a distraction than they're worth.

The thing is, the needle pricks are no big deal any more. They used to hurt a lot more than now, but the finger stickers are sharper, the amount of blood you need is next to nothing (and can be drawn from places other than the finger), and the injections are pretty much painless. And now they're experimenting with inhaled insulin.

You claimed that humans make semi-rational choices. I pointed out that they do not - they make totally irrational choices. I did not "make your point" as you wrongfully claimed.

Your interpretation of rape is lacking ..., to say the least.

Humans over-breed - and we can't export them anywhere else any more, like they did 100s of years ago when much of the world was still unknown. So, where are you going to put 19 billion people?

No, but it has real-time measuring, not a 10 - minute+ delay. Also it's much finer grained in it's operation than the device.

A normal functioning pancreas won't ever put you into insulin shock either. Type 1 diabetics don't have a normally functioning pancreas, or they wouldn't be Type 1 diabetics, duh!

The pump can't add glucose. Your body has a limited store of glycogen in the liver that it can draw on, after which you need calories quickly.

Yes, there are methods of avoiding hypoglycemia when working out - but they're reactive, not anticipatory. Until they also include a sugar pump, forget it.

Even forgetting the security issue, going around with a pump and injection line connected all the time is a lot more of a pain in the ass than current methods. Also, it can't make judgements based on future activity - you might want less insulin than normal because you're about to embark an on 3-hour bike ride, which if you take your regular dose, will make you hypoglycemic, pass out, and wake up in an ambulance or the hospital (insulin efficiency increases with activity level, which is why you need less insulin when you're about to be active for any period of time).

You can't even get to the nearest star in one lifetime - how are you going to export the excess population to other planets? Humans are not semi-rational when it comes to devising schemes for division of wealth - just look at the US. Look how many people are STILL defending the over-breeding ignorant hypocritical Duggars, or anti-abortion and anti-contraceptive people.

And mating is not driven by status - otherwise rape wouldn't exist. And how many people engage in a one-night drunken hookup and the next morning go "Oh my $DIETY, I didn't really f*ck that, did I?"

Mating is driven by testosterone - just look at how many guys get caught literally f*cking the dog, or even screwing a porcupine.

And how do you expect the increasing number of people who won't have money from employment to pay for their health insurance? Countries that have public health care still finance it through taxation. Reducing working wages by working fewer hours doesn't pay the bills - ask all those people working just under the legal number of hours to be considered full-time.

They shouldn't have charged him with making death threats, but rather with criminal harassment or intimidation. Then it's the mental state of the recipient, not the person making the threats, that applies.
