1) You're completely leeching off other people's work without any of the compensation. You're no better than a common thief.

Right, because blocking certain things on a web page on the open Internet is no different than stealing someone's physical property.

2) Ad blocking is going to be an arms race that I guarantee you will lose. Eventually, all ads are going to be indistinguishable from content and then we're all fucked.

Then I doubt people who hate ads would go to those websites if such a ridiculous thing ever happened.

Ad blocking is going to completely ruin the internet, and douchebags like you are causing it.

It's the apocalypse! Run for the hills!

It's amazing how much miscellaneous rock is floating around this solar system. Four sizable chunks of rock (tens of meters) have gone by the earth in the last week, one within lunar orbit. None were known objects.

There's a mile-sized one going by on March 31st, but closest approach is over 3 million miles.

I would so totally pay $20 to watch it live online.

Apparently charging people to watch suicide or homocide or otherwise physically severely injured or death is illegal in most countries. Well, unless it has to do with large crowds, multi-million dollar player contracts, and something called "sport"

Plutonium and uranium are alpha emitters. Alphas won't get through a sheet of cardboard. A gamma ray detector won't pick up anything. This won't detect an atomic bomb.

This is only useful for detecting radioactive waste, miscellaneous medical and industrial radiation sources out of their casings, and X-ray machines.
