Soylent Green opened in the 1970s, while the question was specific to the 60s. I did cite the novel that movie was based on (Make Room, Make Room), though cannibalism wasn't referenced in the original book.

The major part of the error of the measurement of the time delay would presumably arise from the accuracy of their measurement of the length of the cable. I would also expect that the signal travels at a speed very slightly less than c in the cable. I would expect that both these sources of error would be far larger than the miniscule error bars in our measurement of the value of c. Of course, two significant figures appears to be a quite achievable amount of precision for such a measurement.

"Melancholy Elephants" is a 1983 short story that attempts to paint a dystopian future caused by the success and extension of copyright.

Yeah, because science fiction in the sixties certainly didn't have any of that. The future would be a bright place, and they certainly never wrote back then about pandemics, genetic engineering, or overpopulation. And certainly no science fiction of the 60s had some elements of all of that. (I admit that I couldn't think of good examples of 'pure' energy crisis memes in 60's SF, though it was an element in the above works that dealt with overpopulation.)

Spreading misinformation like this is another reason why you're evil.

The general category of all kinds of Pertussis is independent of humans, so your claim is technically correct for the all of Pertussis but entirely misleading for the subject of infectious diseases.

The specific strain of Pertussis bacteria that infects humans is only known to live in humans, see this previous post in this very page.

I know of at least one case where it's not even an additive to livestock feed - it's a pesticide used on hay fields. It will kill many kinds of complicated plants, as it basically acts as a plant hormone to make cell walls stack incorrectly... but hay and grasses aren't affected, and it's believed safe for animals as we don't have any cell walls at all. It passes right on through a cow or horse without harming the animal.

The livestock producer may not have added anything to his feed. All he needed to do was to feed his cows hay from a farm that used this pesticide. This problem goes several levels deep.

This is obvious nonsense, why on earth was it modded up? Amazon correctly assesses and collects every dime of the Washington State sales tax owing on every purchase that I, a Washington State resident, make from them over the internet. They have always done so.

Amazon is in full, voluntary compliance with all Washington state laws regarding collection of sales tax, and always has been.

To use your format:
State of Colorado: hey you, out of state corporations, we claim that you are required to act as our agent to collect taxes on our behalf. You all have to serve as our tax collectors, and we're not even going to pay you to do so.
Amazon: We have no opinion whatsoever concerning your state's tax structure. That's your business. However, we aren't going to serve as your unpaid tax collector.

sorry, but they're not in the same league as their '60s foregenderneutralpersons

I have to call bullshit here... but I'm not saying that as a defense of the current movement, but rather I'm objecting to your idealization of the 60's. All too many baby boomers seem to have a fuzzy, romanticized version of what happened in the 60's.

There was no shortage of bad actors mixed in with more idealistic folks then, just as is the case today. We have, with varying degrees of success, already sugar coated a lot of 60's history. All of the negative aspects you point out in the current movement have analogous issues in the 60's movement.

Of course, there were a lot of good things that happened as a result of the counterculture movements of the 60's. If we pretend there were no such negative aspects to these movements, and then use this optimistic but false dream of the past to condemn modern movements via a flawed comparison to an idealized version of the 60s that never actually existed... then it seems we have missed the entire point of these counterculture movements.

If Chevron employs more than 50 employees within 75 miles of your wife's workplace, and if your wife has worked for them for at least 12 months, including at least 1250 hours in the previous 12 months, then she should be covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

She would be entitled to take up to 12 weeks off. It's unpaid, though they would be required to continue to pay for her medical insurance. Afterwards, she would have the right to her job back, or an equivalent position in certain cases if her former position was no longer available. IANAL, but apparently she is :) However, it's possible that this may not have been brought to her attention.

You're thinking of Superman III.

There's no obvious way to know now what spoken English actually sounded like back in, say, the 1600s.

However, we do know that on average accents will change faster the more crowded and interconnected the people speaking it are.

Therefore, it's quite likely that the accent in the historically more densely populated British Isles has diverged farther from the common ancestor accent than did the accent in the relatively sparsely populated Americas.

A back-country Appalachian accent is probably the closest modern approximation to a Shakespearian accent.

Regan certainly did have a lot of power in the 80s over US economic policy, and I certainly agree that he pushed the country to the right in the fiscal area. Regan was a classic Wall Street insider, as former CEO of Merrill Lynch and having served as vice chairman of the NYSE. As a practicing Roman Catholic, Regan certainly did have religion in his background, and he did wield a fair amount of power as Chief of Staff. However, I think his primary influence was on the fiscal side rather than as a "social conservative".

On the other hand, I think his boss at the time, Reagan, was a lot more concerned with social conservatism than Regan ever was.

[angrily] Mr. Simpson, please pay for your purchases and get out and
[brightly] come again!

Of course carbon is a metal. At least, it is if you're an astronomer.

Perhaps if you'd taken a regular, non-fucking chemistry class you would have learned of hydrogen peroxide- two hydrogen and two oxygen will bond all right. The mono part is unnecessary for reasons other than the one you stated.

That being said, it's too bad they didn't offer a fucking chemistry class when I went to school, that sounds like an interesting topic.
