I was just looking at buying a dot matrix printer for plotting data. Everything about dot matrix printers suck for data, except the roll of paper that can print arbitrarily long logs. To the community, other than a dot…
I know ;)
Who said EU wide? The rules are clear, changes in EU rules must be unanimous. Typically, governments agree to changes affecting their countries' constitutions and sovereignty w/out consulting voters (how democratic!…
In a parliamentary democracy every minister has been elected to his seat in Parliament. Voters can literally fire the PM while giving the ruling party a majority. Take Canada. The PM - Papineau The defence minister -…
This is not representative democracy. This is, at best, buffered representative democracy. Arcane electoral rules make for weak representatives who gather power by making back room deals. The real (but not…
My point is that this is who the EU is, and always has been. Whoever bemoans that the EU is becoming like the US is clutching pearls.
So? Did we already forget the Polish blacksites? Have we already forgotten the Italian secret services aiding the abduction of a man in Italy?
When has the EU ever been democratic? Brussels has lost, but ignored every referendum for the last 20 years.
If they receive public funds, they can go and suck limes. They do receive public funds. That being said, since they receive public funds, they should also be subject to the first amendment as strictly as public…
Ships are big, if this were a real problem it would be easy to find space for a "lab sized" laser. ICBM warheads are small. Space in drones and fighter jets is at a premium. This is military.

Two major reasons: Capacitive losses. They're worse in water (dielectric), but they're there in air lines as well. Compatibility and isolation of grids. If grid A is 35 degrees from grid B it's very hard to couple them.…
In GA, GA residents with B-ish averages get free tuition to attend GA universities. Including GaTech, a top5 eng school, that requires an A average to get in. Source: dealing with undergrads complaining about their…
Right.
Try saying an Our Father before going to bed. As a therapeutic. It has the advantage that it is compatible with most (all?) preligions, certainly the Abrahamic ones. Try it as a therapeutic. To release all the angst and…
People cannot borrow money from the central bank. Also, the deflationary effects of high interest rates are not because it causes unemployment, but because it reduced the rate of increase of the money supply. Of course,…
Depends who you ask. Historically, no amount of compound interest was allowed because it is immoral to receive what is not yours. Then, in the Middle Ages, Catholic theologians added nuance introducing a concept of time…
It's already ruined college sports, but the old regime was abusive. Million dollar salaries for the coach, hundreds of millions poured into the administration all on the backs of kids who were ruining their health (bad…
Baptists are strictly against gambling - GA introduced free college education funded by the lottery to legalize the state lottery (GA was losing a fortune to cross state gambling). The largest Christian denomination,…
To describe Buddha as a secularist would be projecting our modern values onto a man 2500 years ago. Reincarnation, the soul, karma, etc aren't exactly compatible with materialistic secularism.
