Haha. Unfortunately I think Philly is more dysfunctional than GTA. Perhaps the greatest of American cities.

I didn't complain that there aren't enough regulations. I mean that the people involved in them are corrupt and incompetent which makes them easy prey to the industries they regulate.

Those are the distributions that perfectly mirror. There is another one that is alone that has an extra ball , 50:49. So I added one to one side instead of 50 and 49 to the other. So 4950:4949. ... is that right? Im pretty sure red is favo

If you live in my corner of the USofA the concept of "wasting" water is meaningless. I actually posed this question to an LA water conservation engineer guy. He didn't know how you could possibly water here.

That really isn't a good assumption. The West is undergoing a bureaucratic collapse where incompetent or out right maliciously corrupt people are subverting regulators. I dont trust regulators and have a five stage reverse under the si

Off the top of my head and using my fingers the probability is: 4901:4900 in favor of red. (100*98/2 = 100*49. Plus one in favor of red) If the number of distribution were odd, the odds would be even. Am I right?

So these are objections in practice, not principle. Important but consider: - Most states give free IDs - Your safety concern is addressed by other commenters here (see the verifying age anonymously)

Why not? Honestly asking here. Let's assume oposition to the law is a "progressive" position: If there is a constitutional right to absolutely 100% friction free access to information then what happens to all the barriers the

To be clear I don't think unscrambling a TV signal is theft, Im just pointing out that it is a matter of law. The Tv provider didnt loos anything. The grid provider, however, did loose something, namely they have to burn more fossil

If you unscramble the tv signal entering your home are you stealing? Also this is taking. This isn't power the gris would have lost anyway, you're coupling it on purpose increasing the leakage

Thats worse. Lets say you have a tonne of plastic. Option 1, burn it: Plastic burned release energy roughly equivalent to fossil fuels. Therefore, burning it displaces an equal amount of fossil fuels. Option 2: landfill it You still fossil

There's a very safe way to recycle plastic. It's also the only way to effectively and universally recycle plastic. Burn it for energy in place of another fossil fuel.

The ICJ punted. The ruling is a joke, how can you rule against the defendant and yet order the defendant to monitor themselves? The ICJ knew if it found against Israel it would loose all credibility outside the West, but it also had too muc

Short: There is a buffer! Long: So the frame being projected has to stop. Otherwise you'll get blurring unless your shutter is very fast, but then you'd burn out the film from the intensity of the light. The film is stopped. But
