I hope you step on a lego.

Maybe...I know beekeepers are having population issues due to mites/disease/colony collapse disorder.

Honestly, according to the statistics if we could just stop black males (and somewhat hispanic males, black females, and white males) from getting murdered so much then we'd be pretty close to first world European country homicide rates.

We still wouldn't touch them on firearm-related homicides but that would look somewhat better.

I agree a lot with your post except for that leading statistic.

2009 Cause of death stats by the CDC:
Accidental discharge of firearms: 554
Intentional self-harm (suicide) by discharge of firearms: 18,735
Assault (homicide) by discharge of firearms: 11,493
Total: 30782

That's 16% less than "over 100 a day" and nowhere near even third splits
A less misleading and sensationalist introduction would be "about 31 people died a day from gun-related homicides."

I honestly don't see guns involved in suicides as an issue as people that want to kill themselves are going to find ways to do it.
The number we obviously need to work on is the 11.5k gun homicides, especially when you compare us to other countries.

You can use noscript or any adblock addon to block this.

Look for something like <script src="http://184.178.98.*/static/FloatingContent/243/floating-frame.js" type="text/javascript"></script> in the head.
Craft rules as appropriate.

You'll care when your ISP starts doing this because no one cared when it happened to others...

First they inject for "emergency notifications" and then next they'll inject for "advertisements to keep your bill down" or something even worse.

A Pyrrhic victory is not the same as mutually assured destruction. Your examples are not relevant.
None of them are "we will knowingly destroy ourselves, our enemy, and the chance of any posterity to use either land for a long long time".

There never has been a MAD scenario like the current one that has actually played out.

"No persons who don't believe in an afterlife have ever been fanatics, and if we just stuff all the believers into one big oven there won't be any fanaticism any more. Right."
This has absolutely nothing to do with anything that I said. Taken in context I facetiously agreed with the GP that religious fanatics were needed for MAD.
I did not say that religion is required for fanaticism. I did not say that religious people are bad. And that's what you're implying I said with your sarcasm.

I will however concede that I was wrong and that religion is probably not required to such a fanatical movement but I still think certain religions mixed with fanaticism make it more likely.

No, I think you actually need religious with the whole afterlife thing.

I know at one point there was a wrongful death lawsuit against him in the States and is one of the speculated reasons for him liquidating all of his US assets and moving to Belize.

I dunno what the actual outcome of that lawsuit was though.

How is Google Image Search results a "page of Google's own making" any more than any text+url index search result is?

Yes, they cache the images so that you can actually search them but none of the images are first published by Google or originate from Google.
Unless they mean "technically" the thumbnails which is complete bullshit and bogus (the thumbnails are completely analogous to the small context text blurb on text search).
Or maybe they mean the time it takes for Google's spider to find out that that the original images have been taken down and no longer exist and thus need to be removed?

You probably don't want to mess with people with access to the top of the well when you live at the bottom of it.

You can use the sysprep utility that comes with pretty much every modern version of windows to migrate the same OS install to new hardware just fine, no need to buy another copy.

Windows may suck but this one complaint isn't really valid (well, except you have to waste a lot of time to do it and some things like Office may need to be reinstalled).

https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests works well when you let everyone have their own "fork" but afaik wouldn't work for a single shared repository.

You can also do it the same way you do with subversion though in which everyone has commit/push access to the same repo and just create a lot of branches.

And obviously you can mix the two methods just fine.

As someone who lives in the south and has gone through a lot of hurricanes I don't think your idea really makes sense.

If you properly prepare for a hurricane then running short of water/food/gas isn't a problem during the period when it would be unsafe to drive around to get those things.
Portable or whole-home generators that already exist make much more sense and are probably cheaper than designing something new to attach to cars.

And quite honestly the only thing people NEED power for in these situations is cooling or heating. Usually there are shelters to help people with this but certainly there could be better solutions (obviously not everyone can afford a generator or even has the space to run one).

In terms of food/water they tend to set up distribution centers with cases of MREs and water if things are bad.
If you have family or friends or neighbors who can't get there themselves then you help them out by getting some for them.
Maybe having neighborhoods set up emergency/disaster teams (kind of like neighborhood watch) to do this would be more efficient but in my experience it's not really an issue. Using the national guard for this is a waste.
However, the south is obviously not as densely populated as new york city so maybe they need to do things differently than typical hurricane country does it. Also, most people in NYC don't own cars so your 'using the car as a home generator' thing wouldn't really help them.

If things are REALLY REALLY bad then you were probably warned to evacuate and should have. Hurricanes aren't like earthquakes.
