A lot of good points, but I don't think he realizes how at least one of his points cuts both ways: Replace "heterosexual" with "homosexual" and "cheeseburger" with "veggie burger" and "vegan" with "carnivore" and you have a virtue-signalling SJW. It's exactly the fucking same but from the...

Thanks for your updates Den, but especially your translations. Nothing like a native-speaker to get the "gist" of the reporting.

2nd attack in Cambrils, coastal town/resort in Spain: Police kill 5 suspects linked to Barcelona attack Also some stuff about some suspects killed while wearing bomb belts, that various sources have said were fake, whereas other sources reporting as real. All thought to be the same group...

0.6% of your population apparently has this allergy, which is 323.1M * 0.006 = 1.9386Million people. (population is from google) So close enough to 2 million for the sake of our discussion. If you could get 1.6M people (80%) able to eat peanuts again, that's non-trivial. Every one of those...

Wow that looks like a spam/clickbait headline, but it appears true: Peanut allergy cured in majority of children in immunotherapy trial Aussie researchers make major breakthrough for peanut allergy - Autoplay warning on this one! 2nd one there has autoplay video, but it's about the story...

More info please. If it goes over Montreal, it'll go over Halifax.

I'm with @DarkAudit on this one, though for slightly different reasons. Long story short: there's very few things that will cause somebody to change their vote from their "usual" vote. If a policy causes you to lose your job/spouse/kids/house/etc, then yes. Not a whole lot else. People need...

I've got a 4-pack of Celestron glasses to use, as well as a solar filter for the end of my telescope. Only 55% up here, but still better than no event at all! Hint: don't EVER use an eyepiece filter for a telescope. Filter the end of the tube, not the post-concentrated part. You can really...

Agreed. Death Camps is a much better label IMO for those in particular, not that there was a particular LACK of death in Internment camps either (usually brutal conditions), but it wasn't their "actual purpose" like the Nazi ones were. Poe's law is in effect. Wasn't mad. I still want @Frank...

Poland quite literally experienced the horrors of both Nazism and Communism. So that flag is NOT a surprise. What type of rally was that at @GasBandit? I didn't see a link.

Not quite accurate. From Internment on wikipedia: Other parts agree with you they were used in the Boer War (no doubt the African conflict you're referring to that you assert the term comes from) but that article even cites it being used in the USA in the 1830s. And in one of the Hardcore...

For others, that means "why not both?" And that would be because Frank said this: ONE thing. So can't be both according to Frank. Ask him. Maybe he misspoke.

It's not clear from that article: government paying for it, or private citizens? If government, that's a waste (1 bird of non-endangered species). If it's private, it's still waste, but people are free to do with their money whatever they want.

Resignation, or Suicide? Just askin'

Ya, but I mean I used to be more concerned with digital privacy. Now I'm a lot more "SOMEBODY has it all anyways. Unless you're using Tor, you're fucked, so just don't worry about it" most of the time. The other side of that is that there's a tendency to see everything government does...

I agree this is bad shit. I do not agree that this is as bad as you say. In such societies that are actual authoritarian governments (China, Cuba, UK is going that direction with the Snooper's Charter and such) they ALREADY KNOW all the sites you go to all the time. They don't need a warrant...

Any way to turn this off entirely for myself? My #1 biggest pet peeve with browsers/websites is when it's "mostly loaded" and I'm about to click something, and it jumps down because something above loaded. Drives me batty, and now it's happening here! If I can either move it to the bottom of...

I'm surprised they don't try and detect your processor and change the build flags appropriately. You'd think that wouldn't be THAT hard. An absolute BITCH to test, but possible I'd think.

I'm glad that at least I wasn't the first, nor the last dead colonist. Being the LAST dead would suck. You "almost" made it... kinda.

Update in Nature: Pesticide reduces bumblebee colony initiation and increases probability of population extinction So that's a non-trivial reduction. Seems pretty cut-n-dry on that chemical. The only "weaselly" thing I could find on initial reading (that's NOT merely an abstract) were the...
