more importantly, you're poisoning the atmosphere

The average smartphone uses approximately 360 kWh per year--produced largely by coal--which is equivalent to 10 gallons of gasoline. You're polluting the atmosphere more by typing a post on your phone than by lighting a little firework, and even more if you're on a computer.

Never got into these books. Rating/10?

Can't help at all with development but I can share some basic info about modern weapons and aircraft, fighter tactics, radar systems, how modern naval vessels engage in combat, etc.

That would be amazing. I've been reading a lot of projectrho stuff (He has gone super in-depth on space stuff) but any first hand knowledge would be brilliant. Thanks!

Feel free to just PM if you have questions, or if you can narrow it down; I have no idea what would be relevant to you. Just based on your description, if you're thinking about modeling your capital ship combat on historical or modern tactics, I can help there. If you're going with a more generic sci-fi approach (seen in almost any current sci-fi material like Halo or Star Wars, where big ships just float around and shoot lasers), there's not much that needs to be said.

Not really interested; a lot of people on here have a distorted view of what race and ethnicity are, and it's never really gone anywhere productive. I'm poisoning the well by even asking, but I'd be curious to see how many people on here believe Latino or Hispanic is a race.

Let's be real tho, corn with its own insecticide built in is pretty sketchy.

At face value, maybe, but in reality there are hundreds of examples of plants with chemicals that repel insects and pests to avoid predation.

That are naturally occurring and not taken from toxic bacteria, but sure.

Bt is approved for organic foods, and is natural. The plants produce the same chemical as the bacteria; it's not like they just spliced the plant with bacteria and called it a day. "Toxic bacteria" makes it sound unhealthy, unnatural, or dangerous, of which it's none. It's more effective than spraying the chemical, and is great for farming in poor countries.

i think a product's country of origin has a lot to do with its manufacturing process, wouldn't you say
I wouldn't.
you're telling me that products exported from foreign countries undergo the same cushy rules, regulations, and QA that they do here

Well, yeah, imports are regulated by the FDA. From their website:
Quote
FDA is not authorized under the law to approve, certify, license, or otherwise sanction individual food importers, products, labels, or shipments. Importers can import foods into the United States without prior sanction by FDA, as long as the facilities that produce, store, or otherwise handle the products are registered with FDA, and prior notice of incoming shipments is provided to FDA.

Imported food products are subject to FDA inspection when offered for import at U.S. ports of entry. FDA may detain shipments of products offered for import if the shipments are found not to be in compliance with U.S. requirements. Both imported and domestically-produced foods must meet the same legal requirements in the United States

It's kinda lame when these websites make an entire article--with obligatory clickbait title--because of a one-sentence interview in which an actor vaguely expresses interest in something.

Also, there are a few sources showing Gunn really wanting to do Squirrel Girl. It's on the Wikipedia page.

SG + Deadpool? I could dig it.

Jaehaerys Blackfyre

Blackfyre is a house name, not a bastard name. And again, the last name doesn't matter.

was the first one even good

It was great. Del Toro put a lot of heart into it and made it a whole lot more than a flashy kaiju flick. It's definitely not on the artistic end of his filmography, but it's a fun variation on the genre.

the flu vaccine is excessive and useless.

You know, I'd actually be angry at you if literally anyone on this site respected anything you say or believe, but seeing as that isn't the case, I'm really not bothered. You're doing yourself and everyone around you a disservice by being willfully ignorant.

They do know. It's on the ingredient list. Non-GMO corn and GMO corn are effectively the same thing as far as it concerns the consumer. Labeling implies a difference to the customer, an implication which is misleading.
You could say that about basically any ingredient you deem superfluous. The principle of the matter is that people have the right to distrust people, even authorities. I don't care how crazy or misguided they are.

Of course they have a right to do so. You yourself have said many times that just because one has a right doesn't mean that it needs to be exercised on a whim. I'm not arguing their right; I'm saying they're propagating anti-science fearmongering and there's no nutritional need; no other food or ingredient has its manufacturing process labeled by law, because it's not relevant to a nutritional label.

There's no compelling reason to, though. It's just pandering to anti-science fearmongering. GMOs are nutritionally identical to their counterparts.
...I don't really care? The consumer has a right to know what's in their food regardless of how harmless it is.

Good.

I'm neither for nor against GMOs, but they absolutely should be labeled no matter what you think.

They were fun, but the boss fight in King's Fall was just ridiculous, and after trying many times I was never able to beat it. And the only way to get gear good enough to do better in it was by being carried by a strong team.

Did they ever release raid modes for the new level caps?

Just so we're clear, I would be free to pursue other interests as well, and she has admitted to not being comfortable with me being with other women, but she still wants to try it.

Sounds like she isn't getting what she wants from you, but isn't mature enough to just break it off and move on. I'd recommend you do that for her. Sorry bro.

If it was temporary, I'd put the relationship lb hold and do the long distance game until it's done.

No source included Wikipedia, it's independent research. It's not allowed to be "peer reviewed" research because the GMO regime doesn't allow things like that to surface.

That first article wasn't research, it was just an op ed. I'll respond to all of them tomorrow.
You have fun with that, I won't be responding to your response.

Never seen one person work so hard to get fucked over by evil corporations. Like I said, gobble down all the poison you want, doesn't affect me in the slightest.

How about you shut the fuck up about it, then? You constantly complain about not being listened to about this, and the first time you decide to Google some articles to support your nonsensical belief you refuse to stand by them. Do you deny evolution? Climate change? Are you anti-vaccination? Is all of science bought out, or just the parts that are convenient to your victim-mentality conspiracy?
