50k would do it just fine.

or just send females and semen from 1 million guys.

because EU is a good scapegoat. the really stupid stuff is home brewed in UK.

you could make a new age hippie video for youtube about the theories and it would get lots of views.

but still wouldn't be true.

if we're alien origin then there's absolutely no sense at all that we're so much like every other life form on earth. your dna resembles everything else and you have a pretty straight lineage to other animals. being star aligned is good for counting time, and heck, the stars are there to look at.

monster stories can be explained easily with one word: imagination. biblical literal folk easily tend to forget that people have an imagination and can pull stuff out of it and invent all kinds of crazy monsters.

so you could make a book out of the theory but you couldn't convince people with education that it's true, because it doesn't fit the evidence wee see in the world.

look man, you're just defining people living with (what you call) Hindu culture as followers of he Hindu religion - or that because there is a sect that argues that god can't be observed they're atheists.

it doesn't hold water. first you should define Hindus as something, that they believe in something - let's say that they believe in karma, and now after saying that they're incompatible with atheism. just saying that hindus just follow rituals and believe whatever they want doesn't work either because they follow different sets of rituals from each other. heck, everyone on the planet could be said to be a hindu on those basis.

doesn't really help that most hindus have polytheistic view and believe in spirits and all other kinds of superstitious things - that is magic and spirits. Richard Dawkins celebrates christmas and for sure saying that he is a christian would be wrong.

on the whole for most hindus to be a hindu is to believe in some magic or another, some deity or multiple deities or multiple appearances of the same deity in different forms. sure that goes with bona fide atheism just like a fish goes with a bicycle.

christian theologists? but those guys working on these questions 1700 years ago worked it out wrong for current crop of christians.

now.. are christians ready for that the bible is not literal? some are, some are not. if they're biblical literalists(which is silly, if you read the fucking book) then yeah, aliens are a problem - however if you're a biblical literalist in the modern day then NOTHING is a problem. why is nothing a problem? because you can always invent ways around shit, from "god did it to test faith" to "before the flood animals were bigger, hence the dinosaur bones you can find in mountain ranges".

if you're religious enough you twist your observations to fit whatever you chose before making those observations.. I think it's a silly question to ask if the world religions are ready for ET when they're technically not ready to account for observations made on the earth even.

futhermore, those religions are mutually in disagreement with each other.

well..

Tesla is a fringe brand, until they launch something that is mass market(in terms of cars).

I don't see whats so strange about stating facts?

it would be brilliant if it had a baggage turnstile thingy attached - the size of the "allowed" carry on bag.

I say "allowed" because people bring all kinds of crazy shit that's clearly over the limits all the time..

but this really was the fault of the security personnel - who under high threat status let just someone walk through. clearly their procedures need a re-check.

I just thought of CIA.

like, they buy software to do this, yet FBI is blocking this company from operating. so what the fuck?

obviously using it should be illegal for all parties though, unless you somehow tell the user that it's there and are paying for it somehow to be there..

strong encryption.
can request password reset over phone or email.

choose one. you can't choose both. no wonder you posted anon, shill.

Isn't it obvious? he doesn't own the phone and he doesn't know what he is paying his operator for.

It's fairly obvious the author is an american sheeple - who "buys" a 700 bucks cellphone for fifty bucks. never mind that he doesn't actually buy it, just sort of rents it, along with buying internet that he can sort of use only on the sort of devices the operator wants or he can pay extra. I'm fairly certain he also has an UNLIMITED high speed internet on his phone, limited only by a megabyte limit the operator put on there(but don't be scared! the limit is more than what their customers on average use! so next month the limit can be made even lower and the speed even faster, never mind that it's impossible customers to use more than the limit on average.)

it's not about "when everything is like your cellphone" - it's an article about when americans will pay for coke by subscription... and rent their cars with mileage limits.. while thinking they get a good deal while getting shafted.

it's fucking horrendous to read american reviews on cellphones because 99% of the time the reviewer actually thinks the iphone costs fifty or hundred bucks - while he is actually reviewing a 700 dollar product and then comparing them to something that actually factually costs under 100 bucks to own!

but then they have an ID NUMBER! NUMBER OF THE BEAST!!! attached to them.

i think the whole thing just sounds like a starbucks advert mixed with some agent mysticism shit. the fuckers ARE GOING TO USE some name when they go to a real star bucks while "undercover".

and while at base, they could just make their own damn coffee.. wouldn't have to worry about people spiking it up.

nevermind that almost all other places than starbucks manage just fine without names.. and in fact, the starbucks outside USA manage just fine without names too.. that i've been to. the names are mainly just to attach a bit of personality into waiting.. waiting something they make in 20 secs. fifo would work just fine.

well, of course, why else would they try to argue for government(police) to have to step in to stop crime, crime that's already illegal since it's a crime...

I mean, I don't fucking get the premise. Does the chief want more things to be illegal or does he want other governments(of other countries) to make more things illegal or does he want powers to declare anything he wants as illegal, not just things that are crimes now but anything his clients want?

well the synopsis says it would emit mass quickly enough that it would not have enough mass to stop light from escaping?

depends what you're comparing it to.

if you're comparing to similar sized wanhaos or flashforges(it's a rebranded flashforge) its not that different in price.

if you compare it to makerbots it's a bargain. and less bullshit than current mbi products. and just as capable (PLA only like all current makerbot printers).

as to why having ability to print abs is sometimes nice: it can withstand higher operating temps for the part you print. 60 degrees(hot car) and pla gets easy to deform.

as to why cheapo printers don't allow for abs.. you need at the very least a heated bed and that needs better PSU.. and an enclosure helps too.

for a thousand bucks with a brand name association and warranty it's no really so badly priced. of course if you can tinker a little bit you can get a printer for 500 bucks - but be prepared to spend couple of weeks tinkering around getting it just right. my currently in use printer cost total of about 540 bucks with the upgrades i had to do and it prints now ok(comparable to 1000$ printers) but it took redesigning of some parts to get to this point.

point being, you can buy makerbot 5th gen for 2800+$.. or you could buy two of these and forty kilos of plastic. and the 5th gen probably needs you to call support more often (mbi just recently killed their google support group to cut bad press. among other things their new smart extruder is a _mess_ and not user maintainable, so you have to send it back every time you get a clog - which is quite often since they fucked up the redesign real bad).

and the flashforge dreamer or dremel rebadge of it seems to have a lot saner approach when it comes to stepper motor driving too(mbi rolled a custom stepper driver solution for their 5th gens.. and it's noisy as hell and the board seems built so that it is non trivial to update the sw on the driver chips)..

well cook already made a public canary announcement or a lie, about them not being able to read your mail while at the same time it's obvious for anyone that they can change your apple credentials with or without your consent(giving access to your mail).
