Aluminum

Anyone using copper for a solar farm is either crazy or spending taxpayer dollars.

This goes back (somewhat) to the 1960s.
Research and Experimentation starts at 1981.

This goes back to US v Shapiro, 1940. Can the government force people to keep records? Well It turns out that it doesn't have that authority, per the US Constitution. But, you're gonna do it anyways, because the New Deal requires it.

Complaining about modern day people following a very old (and very wrong) precedent is muddying the waters. So we know what needs to be done, but I don't have the millions of dollars it would take to overturn this bad precedent.

It's only a logical fallacy if every point on the chain of actions (ie the slope) isn't verified to contribute to the next point. In other words: it's only a logical fallacy if assumed.

Next we enter the stage where each point is argued as to whether it really contributes, but then we get "No True Scotsman" fallacies. So "Not a Slippery Slope" is a version of "No True Scotsman".

Thus "Slippery Slope is both a logical fallacy and not a logical fallacy.

It sums up each nations history

Can't speak for Russian history (yet), but Game of Thrones cribs most of its violent politics from British history.

For China: it is imperative that each dynasty is "linked in an unbroken lineage of moral and political authority back to ancient times." It doesn't matter what color the Go stone is, they're all "Chinese".

Poker resembles how war *actually* works.

Windows 2000 is before they copied the BSD network stack. Why would you want a broken network stack? A stack that flushes the whole if any packet in the stack has an error?

There is lunar dirt (ground up minerals). No such thing as lunar soil though (an ecosystem in the regolith).

NO. Perchlorates in Martian *dirt* (not soil) will kill pretty much anything you want to grow. Mars is a superfund site.

Quick wiki check Mimulus shows this genus grows in numerous climes. Looking at this another way, cacti are drought tolerant, but still grow in rainy places.

Ask and y'all shall receive: Star Wars

Are you talking about California?

Massive understatement.

80% of Canada's population adheres to the US border. Most of its trade is with the US.

The bigger problems:
1) Canada getting cozy with the Chinese to antagonize the US--and China is in a downward spiral.
2) Canada mistreats it's own citizens (and has no equivalent of 1st or 2nd amendment rights).
3) Alberta (and possibly Saskatchewan) looking to secede, and take away a huge chuck of Canadian GDP.

As another poster wrote, Canada should be seeking to be ignored by the US, not provoking it.

The kingdoms of the world didn't trust the United States in 1783 because "the President could change every four years".

No more death marches without overtime pay or stock options? How will programmers survive?

Tron was definitely influential!
