No seriously man. I wasn't saying it as an attack.

I'm saying it like- seek help. The views you are expressing are very far from reality. This is dangerous to you. You are thinking in a bubble isolated from reality.

Not joking. Not attacking you.

Good lord, you are serious.

You are being irrational. You need to get back in touch with reality before you do something stupid. I'm not trolling or sniping you. I'm serious.

Seems they could develop a way to non-invasively confirm pressure of the footballs that sits in front of cameras on the sidelines.

Some storage box that puts the football under a standard pressure and confirms the deformation is within the expected range. Or is 1 to 2psi too small to be noticeable that way?

Without the government, apple wouldn't be able to exist.

There is nothing to stop widespread theft of their IP by other countries (can you say "Patent protection for 0 years).
There is nothing to stop widespread copyright infringement of their products.
There is nothing to stop people from kidnapping and/or murdering their top employees.
There is nothing to stop people from attacking apple stores and destroying product.
The roads fall into disrepair.
There's no guarantee of the quality of gasoline in their delivery vehicles.

A functioning government is necessary for businesses to exist.

An increasing number of vehicles don't use gasoline or diesel fuel.
And many of the ones that do are getting higher gasoline mileage than they did 20 years ago.
We are going to have to increase the license fee and/or add in a mileage fee.

Corporations are just a structure the wealthy use to hide their wealth and income from taxation. If you are not going to tax corporations then they need to be disallowed from building up substantial piles of cash. It should all be forced to pass thru the corporation in a timely fashion.

No they don't. There's a huge deficit because tax income hasn't met the cost of running government for a long time.

And our government recently just dropped another 2 trillion dollars and took on another trillion in vet benefit obligations to fight a couple wars to benefit oil companies in the middle east.

I'm not sure how the currency risk works out in that area but I think it would have lost them a ton of cash lately.

Seriously? You do not even know what depleted Uranium is (hint: Uranium unsuitable for fission) and presume to make grand statements? Pathetic.

Might be a canary, i.e. a test of how much stupidity and potentially insecure automation OpenSSH users are willing to accept. In that case the OpenSSH maintainers team is not stupid, but has been compromised. Would make sense...

You compare velocity and temperature? Have you failed physics 101 completely?

The nuclear fuel we have on this planet is our entry-ticket for exploring and colonizing the solar system. The most stupid thing that can be done with it is using it to generate electricity, because that can be done in a number of other ways. At the same time, until fusion takes off (if ever...), fissionable material is irreplaceable and cannot be made artificially.

It will go on forever. Just think of comparably stupid things like the "war on drugs". It has been going on since 1920, with nothing to show than massively increased damage, but zero result in consumption. Stupid people stop their fanaticism only when they face overwhelming opposition.

Sanderson actually delivered pretty good books to conclude tWoT. Far better than the last few by Jordan.

I agree. On the other hand, if you read only the 20% or so of chapters you like, even the last books are pretty good. I have to admit that there were quite a few things I only understood when watching the movies though ;-)

You may be on to something there...
