But… but it was the house that passed it… the house is currently run by republicans…

I don’t remember where I saw it, but I watched a video about different exo-planets. One that stuck out to me was a planet that had miles of ice but possibly also a liquid water ocean underneath. If intelligent life evolved down there, they would probably have no clue about the wider universe and think their world is all that exists. Imagine such a being’s reaction if they ever drilled up through the ice. I feel like this could be turned into a good sci-fi book.

(Joke starts at 30sec.)

I remember a documentary about a famous northwest passage expedition that was never seen again. One of the inuit people they talked to during an investigation claimed they found a boat, and in the captain’s quarters they found a body in the bed with a big smile on its face. That would be absolutely terrifying, but apparently that’s what naturally happens to corpses when their lips and gums receed.

I’ve always wondered how big an impact burying all grass clippings would have… I assume very little since I’ve never heard it mentioned before.

If it’s blatant and on video then the lawyers will come to you and probably only ask for a percentage of the settlement.

If by blows up in their face, you mean they get arrested and later get a nice payout for wrongful arrest.

That’s a much taller order than you make it sound. It’d probably be easier to figure out fusion.

Fusion is the first step to a post scarcity world. All the new technology, products, agriculture methods, ect. that would be made possible with abundant, clean energy would completely transform the world. I doubt solar and wind could ever provide enough to make those advances.

Yeah… I’m not sure I understand that comment without an example. Are you saying your field is something that takes a lifetime to master and you have to spend every waking hour working on it?

And yes the classes that I learned the most in were the ones where we would read the textbook together and do exercises during class. The worst were the ones that would just assign the chapter for you to read at home without them there as a resource if you had any questions.

I did my homework… just when it came to lazy teachers that expected you to teach yourself by assigning chapters to read from textbooks that aren’t known to be easy reads, the quality was usually lacking. It would be better if I could read the textbook with someone who knows the subject matter… ah yes I’ve got it, a TEACHER.

And you sound like you’re making excuses for shitty teachers.

The best teachers I ever had were the ones who actually taught during class and rarely had to assign homework.

If teachers don’t explains things, then what exactly are they for?

University could be a whole lot cheaper if they gave out diplomas for just reading the text books.

No one is trying to arrest him because he is selective about what he releases. They want to arrest him because he aided in illegally accessing classified info. That is the behavior of a spy, not a jornalist. The person he aided was already found guilty and did their time.

Are you well known as a corrupt state?

You have to ask? Who has Assange never released any information on even though they are known for corruption…
