It's been a while since my college biology course, but if I recall correctly, it's not uncommon for a population experiencing exponential growth to shoot right past the carrying capacity for a while. Eventually, the population crashes until numbers fall under the carrying capacity, at which point several outcomes are possible.

The simple fact that population size is not decreasing is NOT evidence that the population size is sustainable. Rather, the fact that population size isn't slowing down might very well be evidence that it ISN'T sustainable...

"scientists calculated that it was traveling at up to 40,000 kilometers an hour (24,856 mph) when it hit Sentinel-1A."

40,000 kilometers an hour relative to what exactly? The satellite? The earth? The sun?

Not quite true, though at that point you'd have to pay a forensic locksmith to take apart the lock. The act of key bumping basically slams the key against the bottom pins to allow for kinetic energy to be transferred from the key to the top pins. Because they are immobile and absorb the kinetic energy, this causes considerable damage to the bottom pins in the form of large dents and scratches. Similarly, picking the lock tends to leave distinctive scratches on the interior pins...

This is very true, but even then the lock accomplishes something else: it creates evidence of a break-in. You show your home insurance adjuster a kicked in door, they cut a check. You swear up and down that you locked the door and someone must have hacked it, have a fun few months/years in court...

Being able to hack the lock from a car parked on the street also has advantages: it cuts down on the amount of time and noise you have to make to break in. After all, there's a reason thieves are getting into electronic gizmos to unlock car doors...

I have had Bic pens that have lasted longer than most iPhones...

FALSE

Butter is rich in fat-soluble vitamins
Butter contains short and medium chain fats, which are the healthy fats
Butter is an excellent source of the 4-carbon fatty acid butyrate
Dutch researchers found that raw butter fat protects against calcification of the joints — degenerative arthritis — as well as hardening of the arteries, cataracts and calcification of the pineal gland

The list goes on. There's plenty healthy about butter, so long as it's in moderation...

Which is why the recent conflict in Iraq was a quick little affair. The Iraq war totally didn't get extended another decade after defeating the Iraqi military because of some insurgent types with small arms and improvised bombs....

Hmmmm, sounds familiar...

You'll see things here that look odd, even antiquated to modern eyes, like phones with cords, awkward manual valves, computers that, well, barely deserve the name. It was all designed to operate against an enemy who could infiltrate and disrupt even the most basic computer systems. Galactica is a reminder of a time when we were so frightened by our enemies that we literally looked backward for protection...

Right, because Clinton never voted to go to war with Iraq...

or pushed to start bombing Libya...

Or advocated an Iraq-style "surge" in Afghanistan...

Wait, why does it seem significantly lower to you again?

Isn't it funny how the only thing Democrats and Republicans seem to agree on is that you can't, under any circumstances, vote for a 3rd party or all is lost?

According to the 2006 Hindu-CNN-IBN State of the Nation Survey, 31% of Indians are 'vegetarian', while another 9% also consume eggs (ovo-vegetarian).

Hardly "dominant" if 2/3 of the country eats meat...

Historians have shown that the people of ancient India, beginning with Brahmins, ate many kinds of meat, including that of cattle. Example: take a look at the Manu Smriti, Chapter V

The Fourth Amendment doesn't protect a right to privacy. The Fourth Amendment protects the right to be free from unreasonable searches. Keeping private data private doesn't suddenly make a search not a search...

Let's examine an earlier school shooting: Columbine

Were you aware that Columbine was supposed to be a bombing, not a shooting? The BATFE estimates that had their bombs worked, they would have had casualties in the triple digits. But when their bombs failed, the assholes "settled" for just running around and shooting...

What if they couldn't do that? What if they went home and build better bombs instead?

Remember: the deadliest school attack in US history was not a shooting...
