They also dressed much more uncomfortably - suits and hats in 100 degrees heat, as well as -20. But they also valued dignity and discipline, and were generally pretty damn hardcore compared to nowadays...

I say we just dump a few tons of various vegetation all over Mars and see what happens :-). There's plenty of space to do archaeological research, it's not like Mars is the size of Machu Picchu or something...

Hey, don't give people stupid ideas :-). But really, that could pretty cool (until you find out you were duped).

Oh, that makes sense!

"Kids these days and their video games. When I was young I used to shoot real people in real jungles." :) But seriously, it is much easier to create just about anything these days, which is arguably more important and fulfilling t

On the mentally ill and those who are forced to go through psychiatrists - I was reading through this thread yesterday and it left me rather sad: http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1sxjvn/15_yr_old_gir

Bottom 40% are responsible for maintenance - without them there can be no production (i.e. they're vital). It's not easy to write code or work on 3D printers when your toilet is clogged and there are no people unloading trucks at

It's sort of like self-checkout - people don't like it, but if there are no humans, they'll (try to) use it.

It seems to me that people are not moving because they have already moved to the most desirable places and are mostly content with their situation. Even with the recession, things are nowhere near as bad as they were pre-1940's.

"Kellogg’s discovered, was that employees were happy to work less when they were paid 12.5% more per hour, meaning the company was able to offer more jobs" I don't get it, how were they able to offer more jobs when they paid

This is all very cool, but I can't help but think that it would be easier to get a used 12" HP 2530p for ~$150, install 2 hard drives inside it, install whatever distribution of Linux you want and connect it via its fast Gigabit p

Maybe it would work if you made it half the size of the moon...

Meanwhile, I still have to get my stimulants illegally.

Well, let's hope they succeed!

Just think of it as "Hi". Nothing more, nothing less. That's it, simple and easy.

Well, I can tell you for sure that most of Europe (Spain, France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, probably more) at least as it is now, is great for raising kids and living a normal life withou

Jesus, no it would not! It would lead to the US military becoming way too large, and given the prowess in media propaganda, you'll get tens of millions of people with a highly militaristic mindset with nothing to do - think current sol

Aside from them being an aggressive display of power (even Russia uses them only for riots), they are very expensive! The military spends a massive amount of money for maintenance - now the police can do that, too! Very cool, except you pay

Yeah, we've known about these tactics for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 years from now, 9/11 is also revealed to have been a false flag operation.

If he had a choice, I think he would've chosen another country. But as it is - better free in Russia than incarcerated in the US (or any other country).

Someone's always gonna get shafted. Doesn't mean everyone has to suffer.

Maybe it's time to start thinking global, move to other countries where we're needed. That would be one solution (though not for many)...

Around 500 searches per month in the US and 300 searches per month in the UK, according to Google. Have a bunch of these ugly sites with redirects to Amazon or other stores and you had a nice profit with little investment.

Nothing wrong with it, it's just mildly unpleasant having to scroll through multiple pages, and the membership isn't quite worth it if you only view an article once in a blue moon...

Is that on a tablet? Anyway, I hate when they do that - Instructables is the first one that comes to mind (they offer a paid subscription for viewing articles on a single page).

So it's a brake replacement? Pretty cool, but too expensive even if it generates more power than a simple dynamo...
