If they had slowly destroyed this Ivory as they discovered it you would not be here commenting on this story. By burning it all at once they create a spectacle that shows just how AWFUL the trade is. Every 2 tusks = 1 Elephant. Ivory. Sucks.

Hardly, but I’d love to hear more discussion about it. We’re in the same “This is the solution” type mentality that was ethanol in the early 2000's. People were pointing to the fact that ethanol was energy negative and everyone was saying “But it is the future, gas from *Corn*” and so we pushed through a less than…

And when those batteries go bad what do we do? Throw them away? Oh yea, recycle them. That’s been working real well.

Apple’s argument against helping was that if the public thought their phones were insecure it could hurt Apple’s business in the future. Said public now knows that Apple’s phones are not secure.

Agree—but they’re really at the mercy of content creators. They can only make *so* many of their own shows. There was at least 3-5 months of production in that 2nd season of Daredevil; which kept you satisfied for 2 days.

I’m 100% sure they will do something like a shuttle from the green line station closest to the stadium. Show your game ticket or pay to ride, just like they do with the dodgers express bus. Building rail lines to a fixed location that will be used 8 weekend days a year when we already have a good set of roads is…

Please, as you update include dates along with times. Since things will take days to fully download it would be nice to know if I’m to stay up until 3am tomorrow, or Tonight.

Can we please have someone cover the unbelievably awful music the Rep. candidates have started using? Its like Country-meets-Rap-meets-Schoolhouse Rock.

I’m sure I’m being a little too practical when I say this: A gummy version of a real object should never cost more than the real version. $12 buys an awful lot of great pizza. It actually buys an awful lot of great pizza *and* an entire bag of gummy worms/bears/sharks/rings.

The best tip I can give is this one: Don’t go into parenthood with too many firm expectations. This list is good, except when it isn’t. Every baby is different; so you might think you’re going to be a master of bottle feeding based on what you read here, but your baby hates the nipple/bottle combo you picked out (yes…

Great point. However you only know this because you know RS from PS. If you’ve assumed PS=RS you’d look at amateur/“realistic” porn and probably think it was boring.

Thanks. I’ve never seen an ep, so no wonder I’m not familiar with her work.

Not sure who Candace Bushnell is, but her point is pretty solid. There’s a serious disconnect between real sex(RS) and porn-sex(PS). I’ve not seen PS in 6+ years, and from where it was headed 6 years ago I can only imagine the chasm between the two has only grown larger. I fear most for the current youth growing up…

Making college accessible to everyone is a two way street—the people who we’re paying to educate need to take it seriously as well. Cost is not really a barrier to entry right now, as you pretty much can be given unlimited capital to spend on any school you see fit. *Should* you take out $200k in student loans? No. Do…

A bit incorrect to say this is made of only paper. The two abutments are what make the paper arch possible, and are not made of paper.

I don’t think you’re trying to flame. Your question touches on the reasoning why BC should be covered: BC is cheaper than paying for the care and delivery of a baby. It isn’t 100% clear if fully covering BC would raise or lower overall costs, but we’re in a grand healthcare related experiment right now, and the data…

I wish we could have real discussions about things like this. Are they better than burning fossil fuels? What is the damage done to build the batteries? To dispose of them? I fear that we’re making the same mistake we made when cars were first invented; It was said cars were going to end the pollution from horses…

I'm with you. I used to go all the time, but quit 10+ years ago. Most large retailers put their stuff online at "outlet" prices anyway. Stack discounted gift cards, coupons and clearance price, all from the comfort of your home.

It seems this service is trying to do for audio what marketing hype has already done for video. People are caught up with higher and higher def video based on a “more is better” philosophy.

Stop making blanket statements without facts to back them up.
