Yet they want to vote for Trump?

Linux anyone?

What you say is true though my point is that to many bean counters, research should only be done on something that addresses the current bottom line. It’s this type of view that conservatives take to heart and it’s why they tend to try to stifle higher education and research institutions.

This is really to the point: “That’s a little bit like telling someone who’s got a large drinking habit or smoking habit, ‘you need to quit that as soon as possible.’”. We know we have the life threatening habit but can’t stop the addiction!

There are republicans that are making notes for the future.

Conservatives just have no idea how research is done and think they can tell people what to research. The absurdity is that no scientific be can tell someone to research something that hasn’t been discovered yet!

It’s law and order with a bit of “thou shall not steal”. There’re people who never question the root cause.

Totally agree about WhatsApp as I no longer use it due FB shenanigans. A lot of people do though which is interesting as it so easy to move.

Using things like Signal and WhatsApp may reduce your footprint further.

I’ve used wifi calling from hotel rooms overseas as well as locations where mobile coverage is poor and it works fine. I suspect (not know) that the voice network provider knows pretty much where your location is though.

Maybe the US is about to charge him with treason and nationalise SpaceX.

At this rate 12,000 North Koreans will take 12 days to get chewed up.

Sequestration only is possible if the concentration of CO2 is high enough, like on the exhaust of a coal fired power station. So where is the extra energy coming from to drive the process? Not from renewables as there is insufficient to meet the needs of decommissioning. More fossils have to be burnt paid for by the tax payer, Sequestration is pretty much a smokescreen to.avoid transition from fossil fuels.

Better than the alternative of actually having to listen to him rant BS.

Wow! Domestic violence and child abuse is a misdemeanour? Probably highlights why there is so much domestic violence and child abuse.

Interesting, didn’t Russia condemn Israel for targeting UN peacekeepers in Lebanon?

Maybe the devil is not such a baddie and just gets bad press?

Ranked choice or preferential voting works well in other countries. It’s a bit like gun laws, everyone else has them and they work well but they aren’t suitable in Alabama.

Maybe he should read Juice by Tim Winton to see how people in the future feel about that! He’s one of those deadhead techbros.

Sounds like Elon is thinking that Trump looks shaky and that not enough people are using twitter so a personal touch was needed.

Iran’s religious leadership learned the lessons from the Cold War that using proxies to achieve their strategic objectives was the way to go. They are probably the reason that there is continuing strife and a major driver to why Israel has continued to be increasingly extreme. Effectively they have been winning the game as Israel is now ruled hardline religious nuts.
