Old Google: Don't be Evil.
Alphabet: BE EVIL.

This must be the sticking point.

Supply houses to the various trades (in America) charge each customer a different price, mostly based on annual purchases.

This is why updates should go through:
A) Sandbox testing
B) Wait and See

Updates can and do *make things worse*

Humans are born selfish and self-centered. Humans learn to love. Humans learn to hate.

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.
