Carbon capture is necessary and built into the IPCC's assumptions in a huge way
I have no experience with this, but I'd be worried that the Pirate Bay Edition just substituted hidden malware for Microsoft's crapware. How do you verify this?
So a 20% premium over a PC at the low end, with the gap widening as you move up the performance curve.
That's a pretty big premium for what seems like an intangible benefit.
We really need 1) better vaccines and 2) better ways of detecting early infections.
Traditional TB testing takes up to 24 days to get results in a petri dish.
This company has new technology that accelerates those results to as little as 4 days.
You really had to be one of those refresh-every-minute slashdotters to get a low UID. I don't believe that made me cool in any way, but I'm kinda glad I have it now
We'll miss you Rob!
"Just out of curiousity, do you have pre-arranged meeting areas if there IS a big emergency? Do you have 72 hours of food and water at your house?"

"Socialist pablum?" Dude, put the Fox News down before you hurt yourself.
Also, "bare arms" = short sleeves. I am exercising my right to bare arms at this very moment. You probably meant "bear arms", aka "carry arms". While it's not in the Canadian constitution, there are plenty of guns in Canada and you know it.
While we're at it, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms most certainly includes freedom of speech and religion. And I personally criticize the shit out of my municipal, provincial and federal governments on a regular (and public) basis. And I do so safe in the knowledge that they can't do a THING to me in retaliation. Jesus, did you sleep through grade 10 civics?
All things considered (seriously, you plan to "blow the head off some daft politician"?!?), I'd encourage you to apply for US citizenship as soon as you're able. I hear the Appalachians are lovely this time of year.
I'm reasonably sure that man can afford his own beer.
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.
