Sure, what happened at that time in history in the misuse of jury nullification was a travesty, but just because it was misused then we should get rid of a backstop on tyrannical laws?

For PC reasons? What? I'm not the most knowledgeable about what we believe about primitive man and how he wooed the ladies, but I'm guessing it was more forceful than today (maybe not, I don't know). But a more agreeable woman is going to be easier to mate with and is going to mate more often. This could lead to a "self domestication". I just chose my words poorly.

I guess I worded that poorly. I can't say I'm terribly informed about what we believe about the love lives of primitive man, but I was under the impression that mating was a little more forceful rather than the wooing we do now. So maybe I should have used the word forceful rather than involuntary or rapey. I was trying to say that in a world where mating was done with more force a female that was genetically predisposed to be more friendly and cooperative will have her genes passed on more often.

The link seems to be broken. I keep clicking "HERE". Please help, I have my credit cards ready! How many percents does it increase my well being?

Wouldn't more cooperative and friendly females be easier to mate with in a world where most mating was involuntary (rapey)? If so, wouldn't their genes prevail over time, helping "domesticate" the species? I suppose that would lead to the question of why all species capable of domestication do not naturally domesticate.

They are trying to say that most people do not like the time changing. They want us to stay on daylight savings after we "spring forward", then not change it anymore.

One good thing about an audio jack is that they are pretty resistant to breaking with a lot of jiggling (like when it's plugged in and in your pocket). I've had multiple phones that got a loose USB Jack over time and I have to do all kinds of nonsense to make it charge. I would rather have both.

They have gotten special protections (Facebook, Twitter, etc) from lawsuits by pleading with Congress that they are impartial platforms. As soon as you start picking and choosing groups that will or will not be banned based on ideology you are no longer an impartial player.

I'm not sure about other Moto phones, but every G series phone I've had has had pretty close to stock Android. They also come with unlocked boot loaders, so it's also easy to put whatever you want on them.

The Pacific garbage patch doesn't exist, at least not in the way it is usually portrade. There are some regions with higher amounts of plastics, but they are mostly micro plastics. So it's more like lots of little grains of pepper floating around rather than some giant floating island. That's why we don't see any satellite or areal pictures of it. I'm certainly not saying the plastic waste in the ocean isn't a huge problem, I just get tired of this "great Pacific garbage patch" thing getting perpetuated.

I can't speak to how it's done in your municipality, but I can tell you how it works in mine. Tree planting ends up being cheaper than maintenance costs. While there is an overall budget for the urban forestry department, often tree plantings have matching dollars for every dollar spent. There are grants out there that will match dollars as well as private city beautification organizations that will also match. So in many instances, one city dollar spent on plantings turns into three. So it makes fiscal sense to focus on plantings. Also, we have something called a tree bank. When a business builds, it's required that that business plant a certain number of trees (both overstory and understory) on the right of way. That isn't always possible. For instance, the whole place is already concrete. They instead put money for the trees into the tree bank, which has to be used to plant trees by the city. So often it ends up with maintenance money spent on trees which pose a danger rather than ensuring trees survive it have good form.
