Nope. It's $10,000 of seed, and $100,000 in manual labour picking weeds, or $50,000 in seed (GMO roundup resistant) and $50,000 in Roundup.

The second one is easier and cheaper, and much worse for the consumer and environment. Now what do you pick?

Nope. The term "pesticide" includes herbicide. And pretty much the point of them most of the time is to be Roundup resistant. Then sell the farmers 100x the amount of roundup you could normally use. The crops live, all the weeds die. Spray more. Spray often.

That you didn't know that the #1 product from Monsanto (the #1 maker of GMO) was designed in increase, not decrease pesticide use pretty much means that people should believe the opposite of anything you say.

You are choosing to drive. If they actually did that tax, public transport would quickly improve as everyone rushed to use it.

But the scientists tell us that GMOs with pesticide in them is "safe". Not "less safe, but still safe enough". But just plain "safe". And if we choose to diafgree about what we put in our bodits, they call us anti-intellectual idiots.

GMO means genetically modified (implies cross-species genetic transfer). Some are things like having your food produce poison (insecticide). I'm not sure how my food containing more poison is more safe. Have the scientists actually studied it, or are they just assuming it's safe because other scientists made it?

It's consistent because it's the best way to tax the middle class and re-distribute it to the ruling elite. Own the rail line, make billions. Own the copper, make billions. That's always the American plan. And why nobody else follows it.

So because you've never had a computer with AMT, AMT doesn't exist? That's some weird logic you have. If your computer has WoL (most do) it has an "Active" network connection (as in a passive listening connection), even when you disable WoL, it's still listening, it just doesn't do anything. You don't have to electrically light your "transmit" wires to hear what's on the receive wires.

You also have the greater power of 4 vs 2, for higher takeoff weight, greater climb rate, and such. If your 2 engine aircraft can climb with one engine, then it's similarly oversized. No 4-engine aircraft in passenger use today can climb with only one engine. So if your 2-engine craft can, then you've made the same problem you are complaining about.

So they could whine about all the protectionism in the US, to justify their own protectionism.

Then we should have it everywhere, as the states are the size of sale. That, and the smaller states are closer to the density and distribution of Europe. So why don't they have it? It comes down to the people. We like our monopolies abusing us. If not, why do we keep voting for politicians that force them down our throat (on both sides of the isle)?

But the others subsidized the build. We subsidized the service. There's a difference.

Also, unbundling caused 1000s of CLECs to pop up. But that was too much competition for the bells, so CLECs were shut out, restoring the monopoly/duopoly (depending on location). Had the unbundling continued, locking out bells from their own network, then we'd be much better off than Europe. But the government is bought and paid for (both sides), so we got the government we deserve by voting them in.

Transforming the copper/fiber network to a distribution-only model is what works best. Anything else fails.

He never said never use any risk mitigation, but that the risk mitigation in this case seems excessive for the risk involved. Fires are rare, and in the case of the NYSE, the fire in the data center affected only one pod, and was quickly extinguished,. They all are.

The problem with fire isn't the fire, it's that the fire triggers automatic responses (disconnecting the power), and the room is sealed while the fire is investigated, before the power can be turned back on. So the "fire" almost never does damage beyond the system it started in, but will almost always take out a data center for a day.

Yes

Yes, Kinguin, an authorized reseller of Ubisoft, resold keys that were later invalidated for having come through "questionable" channels.

Rather than honoring the keys bought through an authroized reseller, Ubisoft, canceled them and is offering refunds (for the people who bought a real key from a real and authorized reseller).

That should be illegal. The "legal" answer would be for Ubisoft to honor all the keys that have been purchased, and track down the illegal person in the chain and hold them responsible, not hold the end user responsible for having bought a key from an authorized Ubisoft reseller.

If there is no market, then the value is zero. Which bonds do you assert have no value?

I never said that. I'm saying that when the "high risk" group has a low level of defaults (well under historical averages), that it's not that group's fault when the frauds of the rich white male bankers are revealed.

But in the US, poor are only poor because they are lazy, so if you blame the poor, you are "safe" as they are all worthless sub-human creatures that deserve no sympathy. So they are truly the last group that's safe to discriminate against, regardless of what the oppressed rich white males assert.

The national media is owned by the same people that own Big Oil (institutionalized investors). So I always find it hilarious that the "liberal media" is called such when they are obviously owned by some of the most conservative people.
