Not even the noble reasons, if that’s why they are being a cop or teacher. If they made $100 million, does he think they wouldnt retire? 99% of them would.

Also, Dakich probably has no idea that he’s kind of proving Luck’s ‘point’ with his own attempt at an argument.

The Meatheads, lead by Dakish, seem to ignore that Luck is injured and his rehab wasn’t going well. Just like his last major injury. His body CAN’T perform to the level that he wants it too and I’m sure that played a major role in his decision to retire now.

Or you’re rightfully concerned that the police might get a warrant by mistake.

You are correct. But it doesn’t hurt to keep police out of your phone.

Not really. It just the principle of the matter. It’s mine phone and the cops have no right to it without a court order. The developments around fingerprints being used by cops to unlock phones is troubling.

“These things are not equivalent. Piracy can still be a major problem, even in the absence of a measurable impact on the sales of media. For example, the entirely false perception of rampant piracy can have adverse effects on the likelihood of individuals to offer works to the marketplace in the first instance.”

Given that the human gut instinct is a remarkably inaccurate way of finding truth, conducting an organized study is not such a illogical thing to do. I’m curious if they were conducting the study because they were following up on prior research and felt that they needed to adjust some of the parameters of the earlier…

Is the thought the people who pirate media would be unlikely to pay for the content anyway even if that was the only alternative?

Our Apollo astronauts wen’t to the moon as basically a cold war fuck you to Russia. It’s only that way if you see it that way. Having the opportunity to experience space and another planet, you call it whatever you want, for whoever you want. There is obvious inherent risk as we don’t operate well in vacuum or low…

The percentage chance for death in a scientific venture or on a dangerous mission to Mars is precisely the same as for staying on your couch at home: 100%. Death comes for everyone, and it’s up to individuals what they want to do while waiting for it. If you want to stay at the center of the bell curve of humanity,…

this post should have blown up on its launch pad

Not really sure what the point of the snark is; it’s not funny. Sure, it’s funny to make jokes about him being a supervillain, but him straight-up saying that people are gonna die as part of this isn’t really something that can be turned into a joke. Colonization is hard. Jamestown and Roanoke, for starting examples.

Way too big a deal is being made over this. Before he mentioned it did anyone NOT know the first few ships would carry a higher chance of death than subsequent missions? Of course he wouldn’t want to go on one of those. Frankly I’m glad he doesn’t because he’s more valuable to us here and healthy.

Sorry honesty offends you. It is dangerous. Very brave for him to be that blunt about it. This article is total clickbait.

I’m sure people in the 1500s were bitching using almost the same reasoning when they first tried to circumnavigate the world. “Why are these rich folks trying to kill these sailors? The world is flat, damn it! They should row and set sails by themselves.”

@Sisyphus You blaming a victim of Domestic Violence?

@Sisyphus: Really? Would we accept that kind of logic from a man? He deserved it because he probably antagonized her? Based on the article and comments here, I don't disagree with him. Gleefully admitting to partner violence is not okay just because you're a woman. It's still something to be ashamed of.

The missus smacked me around a bit for the 3rd time in our 17 year marriage -i never even raised a finger -ever!
