The slave trade was a bloodbath. The Sassoon family opium trade and opium war was a bloodbath. Mao was a bloodbath. Stalin was a bloodbath. WWI and II were bloodbaths. The middle east was and is a bloodbath. Ukraine is a bloodbath.

We don't really know the situation with C. The urine tube is cleaned but only for a while. We are the only creatures who cant produce it. Some animals produce 200 mg/kg, a 70kg goat makes about 13000 mg. Our RDA is based on scurvy which seems something you'd want to stay far away from. I hear you can safely increase the dosage until you get digestive issues (farting) Nobel laureate Linus Pauling (chemist) lived to be 93 taking 18000 mg per day.

People wouldn't be externalities if healthcare costs money. Next thing you know you would have to pay attention to the environment or god forbid the food. It would eat away the budget for overthrowing countries and bombing children. Watch them elect a democrat to do the bombing next round and a new republican after that. It sounds like a joke but it isn't funny.

William Beaty had a video of the hands on the car hood. They showed up very detailed some 20 cm under the hood as if people captured inside. Quite the find.

It seems a lot like the employees don't want to keep their job? If your boss is... well... dumb? You have to fill the gap or the company wont survive.

Could have a similar store ran by a human - for science.

Could also set things up properly in advance. Humans don't hold everything in memory, we run agendas, we have a database with products, we have a rolodex to call people to help us with stuff we are bad at. There might be a consultant crazy enough to do a no cure no pay.

Like with basic income experiments one can do research cheaply in cheaper countries. The thing has few issues with language barriers.

If it is known that a lot of the marbles are pink there would have to be other colors. That means there is something to it!

I would have to beg to disagree, my opinion is the only thing that counts. The grades are just your opinion or not even that(?)

The murals and the waffling shall continue until morale improves.

Demolish the building leaving only the wall then make a park around it and name it after the guy who ordered the demolition.

The dull blocks have no character, the artwork in contrast captures and hammers out the original character. It doesn't have to be true, nothing ever has, they just need to rubber stamp it as such.

There was a time when google toolbar had a search gmail button. I would use it to open gmail using whatever query was inthere. It happened quite often that it found newsletters matching the query. It takes quite a bit of hoarding to accomplish.

Perhaps it is even a better solution than website that vanish eventually. I might one day make a newsletter with links like:

    example.com?re=you@yourwebsite.com&article=1234

Then mail you the requested article. With RE: and the same title they will even be threaded.

> A federal jury convicted Menendez on 16 felony counts. These included bribery, extortion, conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent.

Seems you have to go all out before the comprendes?

For a decade or~so I subscribe to newsletters and had skip inbox rules that archived them in a folder about the subject. Eventually I never really looked at the folders but it never bothered me as I don't really see them. Not sure if that means it works or not.
