Also, Fukushima is only rendering about 500sq miles uninhabitable for (currently optimistically estimated) 25 years while Chernobyl is about 900sq miles for over 25 years so far. It won't return to average radiation levels for over 20,000 years. You can live there now... if you don't want to have children and accept a higher risk of cancer. About 600 elderly live there now. The animals in the area have mutations, stillbirths, etc. But, those that survive handle the radiation better as time goes on and thrive from the lack of human predation and habitat destruction.

The Chernobyl radiation area 's sort of butterfly shaped tho and due to wind pattern there is a second 'wing' / exclusion area which is also uninhabitable of similar size- so about 1800sq miles total.

China, and the chinese, have a massive superiority complex laid over a very deep inferiority complex stemming from the 1800s all the way to the 1940s.

Until that gets resolved, they are more dangerous than average. They have a chip on their shoulder and have something to "prove" combined with a sense of manifest destiny.

Their military spending is much less BUT their labor costs are much less so their spending is much higher than it looks like given the raw numbers. Effectively its 3 to 4 times as large.

Hopefully they transition to a truly confident nation and resolve their issues. Then there is still "average" danger. Any group of people can go apeshit on other groups of people when they think they are more powerful. It's happened over and over.

Just so I know, how old are you? I want to know what class of child I've been wasting my time arguing with.

You also have to know how to use the dictionary. You don't just pick the meaning you like, and then pretend all the other ones don't exist.

1. the act of conspiring.
2. an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
3. a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose:
4. Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
5. any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result.

You really need to learn what these words mean before using them.

They think that the market is going to shrink considerably, with more and more car-sharing happening. I think that numerous automakers are going away, starting with FCA.

What kind of numbers are we talking? Will the world actually absorb 50M excess Chinese men?

As long as I'll be able to stream video to it as well, sure... I would assume so, but they don't say anywhere

Yes, and many people disable them, and some DNS servers don't even have the functionality.

Well, obviously if you have a system of any complexity, you should be stuffing the records into a database and then generating the zone files from that. You can handle your replication at that level. Give your serial numbers meaning (As a timestamp, typically) to avoid issues there.

Bullshit, stop trolling. When Microsoft releases a patch which doesn't break anything, nobody complains. It's when they release "patches" which alter the behavior of the operating system in undesirable ways that we get our knickers twisted.

A conspiracy is when two or more people get together (conspire) to take advantage of one or more people. Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.

Conspiracy Theorist, as a phrase, was ironically (for you) deliberately created by the CIA as a means of discrediting people who had ideas about how they might be fucking us.

Tee hee. "Reeked" havoc. Do yourself a favor and don't use words you don't understand while talking shit about other people.

You think you're being edgy and clever but all you are is way fucking behind. That's always been true!

What we know about CIA-implanted brain bugs and thought-controlling water additives is that this government would not hesitate to use either one if it were available to them.

You can already manipulate people's mental states with water additives, and implanted "brain bugs" are only a matter of time — we're making more and more progress along those lines all the time. We don't have long to get this government under control...

Nobody said otherwise.

We'll find out soon enough just how much CO2 lingers. It's heavier than air, you know.

Not only is that wrong, but the goal is to map "urban air quality", not just "outdoor air quality". RTFA, HTH, HAND.

P.S. If you had anything worthwhile to say, you'd have logged in.

Yes, I can see that.

Unless you want anyone with a brain to care what you think.

Oh, so we only need one data point to make any decision ever?
