So, wait... you’re actually saying that prosperity can’t happen without destruction. I guess I’ll just have to agree to disagree. I can’t waste more time with you on this. I actually have work to do on an electric vehicle drive system. I’ll just count myself as lucky that I only have to worry about the global fallout…

And there’s the rub. Being a good scientist has nothing to do with evil or it’s opposite. A good scientist performs competent science. Which is what most of the current science looks like. ROVs dropping it to see what’s at the bottom of the ocean. Overdressed grad students that put thermometers on glacier fields. The…

You assume that the woman will carry the whole load. While that’s true in many cases, those “fathers” are also the same kind of people that shouldn’t be having kids to begin with. OTOH, the people that actually worry beforehand about the kind of world in which to raise a kid are also usually the ones that care enough…

Having come from a science background, I can tell you that the good ones only develop a counter-agenda when they receive political flak just for telling the truth as they know it. Those same people would normally accept findings that proves something new, even if it runs counter to their previous research. Politicians…

That thinking is a large part of the problem. The people who should be raising kids into adults are not and the remainder keep doing so in blissful ignorance. If Ms. Purple and I could have kids we would.

How does an entire nation show such distrust of science, yet rely on it for global communication? Nobel Prize winning researchers and the world’s top universities, yet some of the most ignorant people. Wealthy elites that owe their fortunes to technology but forget that it required a group of educated people to…

Really, must you translate. They own Google. The least they can do is make it convert for them.

I’d like to commend you on actually calling a patent a patent.

I took few courses in strategic studies way back in uni and I think FA (and the public in general) could use more easy to read articles with basic strategic military analysis of various conflicts and weapon system deployments. Just knowing that you see “turf” as a major component of geo-political events gives me…

Girl likes her some Canucks. Problem is that she picks the ones that don’t know how to say sorry.

If you’re in a rush, just staple them with the open end down. Rain doesn’t normally fall up.

I just consider myself lucky to be in before everyone else. TBH, it’s a nice little booster for Blue Monday.

So.... you CAN judge a book by its cover.

Thanks for that. Badass Soviet looks and what ZiL probably wishes it could be.

I don’t know if Jenkins has rules that forbid it, but I imagine that Estrella could visit Cassandra in the Library itself.... well away from sunlight. And for travel vacations, having your own continuous supply of Vamp water would extend resistance indefinitely.

Uh huh, uh huh.

Yeah... I’ve come to accept that.

My mistake. Looks like you’re still in the denial stage.

Unlike the other poster, you’ve made it past denial to anger. Soon you’ll start bargaining, be depressed, then finally come to accept the ensuing decline of the American empire.
