The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.

Take your pick.

Would someone, please, think of the children?!

designed a chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors and insulating materials

I love, that it is a prime number!

That skill proved useful in his later career.

Sometimes experimentation is the only thing standing between you and certain death. None of us would be surviving cancer if not for patients being experimented on.

Beyond terminal illnesses, the regulatory burdens should be very high and not lowered because something shiny and new comes along.

That's my opinion too.

Unfortunately, after a certain amount of actual progress we are now regressing again.

Yeah, we have a long history of not practicing what we preach.

Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?

London. Conservative? Hahaha. Yikes. Those are words so diametrically opposed in substance that I refuse to put them in the same sentence.

No. This is purely the result of the "progressive" globalist set importing so many third worlders that native English are a -20 point minority in their own capitol, police being directed to turn a blind eye to any number of criminal transgressions if the perpetrators fall on the right side of the paper bag test, while simultaneously going after native English for things such as going to church during the Covid lockdowns while ignoring the politicians throwing extravagant bashes, going after comedians, politicians, and regular citizens for posting unapproved narratives and very mildly spicy language on the internet, prosecutors turning away cases such as the former while voraciously persecuting the later.
London in particular, and the UK as a whole is seemingly the result of someone asking "what is a sensible, rational approach to successful governance of a population?" and then doing the exact opposite.

What kind of traffic cones do you have that require a CS degree to place? Are they self deploying? Operate on a mesh network? Inquiring minds want to know!

Old cars certainly can't hold a candle to new cars in the spying department. Practically all of them have remote data connections now, so every aspect of your life can be monitored and monetized by global data brokers. At least my old car won't rat me out to my insurance company if I'm a little happy on the accelerator, or if I occasionally use my brakes to their full ability.

That feature has been baked into mobile operating systems for quite a while now; If you're just listening to something, it's automagically accounted for; I forget what Bluetooth spec that was introduced with. Video frames are buffered a bit behind the audio and it all syncs up so you don't feel like you're watching a kungfu movie dubbed in English. Where it is a problem is actual interactive programs. Games, music making programs etc. where user inputs regularly need to by synced to the sound. No way around it.

The US military mandated all sorts of vaccinations without informed consent, and with often with dubious reasoning, readiness be damned. Basically you're the governments Guinea pig, you'll take the shot and that's that.

For example, the use of the anthrax vaccine was halted when it made a whole bunch of those young able bodied men late to go to war back in 2004. There were all manner of congressional hearings about it; then they modified its use guidelines to include only soldiers likely to encounter it (basically nobody outside of bioterror units), scaled back the dose, and also reduced the number of doses.

I wonder why that is. Wouldn't be related to the fact that one is able to go into the store, rip them off for less than a grand and walk away scot-free, and then do it again next Thursday, tomorrow and every day which ends with a Y?

That's kind of the point: these policies, like almost every other so-called liberal policy, have enriched and protected the criminal at the expense of everyone else. Even if the harm was limited only to inconvenience of having to find a Walgreens employee to fetch a product behind plexiglass (it very definitely isn't), then not only have these policies enabled criminals to rob a corporation blind, they have robbed society at large of something even more important but less tangible. Trust.
