I'll climb on the soapbox. Glyphosate is great stuff. Good on sandwiches too. Hell, even Patrick Moore[1] does shots[2] of the stuff and he's almost perfect. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore_

Realistically, I truly wonder if the consummate versions of such tech won't become the keystone of the future world's pyrrhic utopia. In some paved global labyrinth of potted plants, designer integrity and perfect safety, where li

My golly - the havoc that beast would wreak if applied to all officials! It would almost be worth unleashing on the public, if perfected from the top down. Though it never seems to work that way. I'm already lucidly envisioning future

Your first paragraph may contain a small error in failing to consider that the perceived safest and easiest way to refuse might be to ignore. An LE request can be intimidating to some and it's not difficult to imagine some preferring

This comment seems to have initiated a surprisingly long thread on the topic of guns. A worthy topic, but I was hoping to see more discussion on surveillance, privacy and related things. Perhaps someone should drop an inflammatory submissio

I find they work quite well even in suburbia. Of course, they work best elsewhere, but are very much worth having almost anywhere, for me. I have been been amazed many times after pointing my binos to an apparently void area of sky and seei

First, it should be emphasized that no warrant or even probable cause seems needed for LE to obtain video from Amazon directly when a customer refuses or ignores a request.[1] Secondly, there is valid reason for concern if a customer declin

Entry price will be near $400 for what I was referencing. Mine were Garrett Optical (Signature Series), which I think is no more. However, the build is almost identical under different brands, eg Orion Resolux. The features in these porr

A great way to "explode" the mind routinely is a pair of 15x70 binoculars with premium optics. The effect of handing them to someone, nudging them to Orion's belt or Pleiades, etc, and hearing the inevitable expletive never

If Amazon's Ring is partnering with LE[1], and from what I understand, in some circumstances providing access to customer-produced data even when customers refuse requests, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to have suspicions. 1.

The existence of debate on this subject worries me more than China itself. It signifies the threat is within. To many, the 1st or any amendment to the Bill of Rights is modifiable at the whim of each meandering generation or trend. We'

Good fucking grief. Courage? I don't need to regurgitate the discrepancies mentioned by many here, eg sugar snake oil, junkfood, ALCOHOL etc. I'll instead infuriate some guardian angels with a less pharisaic perspective on tobacc

I find myself perplexed by many conventions, maybe I'm a lout. A tidy slice of tape unconventionally covers my phone's frontal camera, which to me is a functional and valued liberty, while the option lasts. I uneagerly anticipated

I wonder if there's much preventing such tech from being reapplied for, say, furtively monitoring keystrokes or other forms of questionable eavesdropping, in a kind of acoustic Van Eck phreaking sort of way.

Perhaps there needs to be an additional option; eg a) Organ Donor vs b) Science Donor, and some redefinition of the former to preclude post mortem pecuniary feasting. Most certainly, strict policy is needed to prevent harvesting without con
