I wonder if these devices could ever become powerful enough to be mounted on missiles and thrown at helicopters or planes and have them drop out of the sky - or mounting them on Growlers! Could be interesting as an alternative to explosives

No you're right, they reportedly did not hack his phone to get the data - you're right! My comment was more to mention that if a journalist of that guy's standing (he's basically quebecs top columnist) was not encrypting

He was under 24 surveillance orders, for an investigation on police planting false evidence. His phone's location was shared, as well as the time and recipient/caller of all calls and texts. Journalists are protected in the canadi

Good call! For me, coffee is simply too strong, but has a very nice flavor, so half caf is the best of both worlds. And swiss water has no solvents other than water - so I'm feeling quite safe about it. I'd be more worried about m

It's actually just that what I have that's preground is half-caf, since I mix it myself. I don't trick them - we chat about it!

Highly not recommend opening a restaurant - chat with any chef, they'll tell you the best food they've had was in their own kitchen. You're better off organising soirées or large meals for friends and charging the cost of foo

I'm sure I'm not aware of something, but from a cursory research it seems they sinply aoak the beans and water and filter the coffee out with carbon filters - do you know more about the contaminants?

For anyone reading - the first person's symptoms are not directly linked to coffee - but he was drinking 10 cups a day for years. Everything in moderation! I highly recommend starting to have half-caf (half decaf-half normal) coffees w

I think the titlet does a disservice to the article - it has a single line about almonds. It's a very interesting read about life without water (or when your water bill quadruples in 6 months) They also mention that alfalfa uses 4 time

If this resonates with you, you might like Existentialism and Jean-Paul Sartes. I'm reminded of a passage in Existentialism is a humanism where he posits that objects, like tables or tree, have innate purpose by their design being made

I'd assume that when you settle you stop being displaced? There is - I assume - a moment after having been displaced when you decide to live somewhere else and not come back - at that point you're just a resident, i'd guess.
