Why does it matter whether the animal is endangered or not?
Well if you kill them all, there's no way to get it back. at least if you stop hunting animals to extinction, you let them grow back to a point where you can hunt them again, but manageable. OT: I'm generally against it unless you go get it yourself, or at least very involved in it. Synthetic furs are fine though, and they seem to be everywhere.

Currently, Nuclear power is the most efficient (at least until renewable energy get a tad more research), there are only 3 major problems with it atm, being waste management, risk of meltdown and weaponisation.
Waste management's a problem, particularly for the UK where we don't even have a proper nuclear waste disposal site, we just encase it in concrete and dump it in the Irish Sea or at Sellafield IIRC, whereas the US and (Norway or Sweden I think?) have or are developing specially designed nuclear dump sites to last hundreds of years while the waste decays.
The risk of meltdown, especially since Chernobyl has been massively reduced with automated shutdown systems in place and proper training and fallback plans should a reactor uncontrollably reach critical mass. The Fukuishima plant is the only recent major incident, and that was down to poor handling of other hazards (which, for Japan I thought would be ready for the occasional tsunami...), rather than a fault with the operation of the reactor itself.
For places like Iran which props up from time to time, weaponisation of the nuclear fuel is a possibility, but you see how it's very unlikely to actually happen because of international politics (US imposing massive sanctions on Iran and NK as well), plus more recent designs for reactors reduce the chance of the fuel being enriched in the process, as well as possible development to Thorium Nuclear reactors which other than some other alleged benefits, isn't possible to be used as a weapon.
TLDR:

Bitch, I've organised parties for my house. Halloween I ended up drinking coconut rum and orange juice out of a pumpkin. I've created a fast food monstrosity known as a pizza burger 4 times. I've converted a housemates' room into a DJ booth.
I don't need to go out partying when I can hold a house party that's far better.

Depends, the average doesn't tell you if the data is skewed.
E.g. There could be a ton of retards or a ton of geniuses that are messing up the average, meaning relative to the average we are either "smart" (amongst retards) or "dumb" (amongst geniuses).
That's my point.
Agreed. The average means absolutely nothing when deviation between the average and the max/min could be massive. Hell, we don't have a figure or any data on this statement at all. Spoiler Suddenly got very statistical after revising for a stats test over three days...at least it's over now.

It's infuriating at times, particularly with my brother.
He plays a shit-ton of AC, so I'm not face palming when he's playing that but on FPS' (using W@W as an example):
"Hey bro watch out for that shiny thing, that's a bouncing betty"
"The fuck is a- *BANG*" (legs blown off) "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THERE WAS A MINE THERE?!"
"Uh...yes I did, didn't you see the shiny thing pop up and kill you?"
He didn't figure it out for a good 5 times, and I don't mean them being hidden behind corners, these were smack bang in complete view of anybody (which is why they were still there when my bro haplessly walked over them)

Lol this is total BS.

Free, if DIY.
Parts aren't free.
Do you already own ducktape? Ok, seriously now I'm guessing maybe $100-120 for parts, labour and replenishing the fluid.

Lol this is more ridiculousness. If it were a man posing all impossibly muscley or whatever, no-one would give a flying fuck.
Just checked a little poll both of these articles asked if it was offensive, of which 84% of ~3600 people and 65% of ~9000 voted "No". Glad to see other people are following the right lines here, but I'm still surprised that many even considered it offensive, it's not different to many ads seen everyday with little outburst from the masses.

I've had a go a few times at basic proxies (just google "proxy server" and it does it all for you), mostly to access AMD for Walking Dead or that Pandora radio thing that seemed interesting at the time. Now I never use 'em, have no real need, though I now have Hola! ( http://hola.org/) in case for VPN's.

How was he able to make a 5 minute video over something that could be condensed down to "This is propaganda to make him look good".
I've only seen that one video Shub posted, and he appears to be an idiot catering for idiots.

This seems like the London Riots, started out a peaceful protest over alleged questionable police force resulting in a death, then drew out the hooligans who were in it for looting shops and bags of Tesco Value Rice. They were handled pretty well, police arrested the outliers that could be reached during the riots and then imposed sentences for people after the riots were quelled. Also, using live rounds is a bit excessive isn't it? I'd at least build up from the standard police to giving them riot gear and maybe rubber bullets/bean bag rounds at worst. At least this had a build-up, when riots sprang out in NI there was no fuss about using rubber bullets straight away, and that turned out just great...

Mine never go past a day, tbh my dreams don't really have good references of time when I do have them.
They always seem to be being chased dreams or a day of my life in some sort of TV drama, so it only feels like an hour.

Huh, only $13,630 a year. Damn, US minimum wage for one person just barely covers that.
That's why the rest of us have to subsidize poor people who have kids and why I'm against poor people breeding.
I'm all for a coupon/ration based welfare system, but I can see where you're coming from. People on benefits shouldn't be allowed to have flatscreen TV's or obese kids, they need fucking books and fresh food.

Personality Disorder Test Results
Paranoid 52%
Schizoid 68%
Schizotypal 54%
Antisocial 48%
Borderline 46%
Histrionic 46%
Narcissistic 51%
Avoidant 50%
Dependent 49%
Obsessive-Compulsive 72% Hmm, the bold ones are interesting: Schizoid Personality Disorder - individual generally detached from social relationships, and shows a narrow range of emotional expression in various social settings; emotional zombies who stopped feeling due to trauma(s) and/or can't feel due to organic depression Kinda confused by that. It's true, but I've never had a traumatic experience, and if "organic depression" if just depression, I've never been had that either. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder - individual is preoccupied with orderliness, perfectionism, and control at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency. Core issue is mental and behavioral rigidity/inflexibility. Ok yeah...right on the money there. Surprised by how high, though.

Then again, what's the source of this info? I mean I could shave a few off if I stopped buying baby caviar and pre-made meals to simply buying veg and cooking.
In reality it would be down to me and Mrs. O'Donnell, which if I was married and all that I'd assume I'm in an ok state to cover it. If I was on my own on this, I'd be inclined to say fuck that, that's just a struggle for both me and the kid.

Ask your self this.
Has there be a major land war between any Nuclear powers since the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Nope, pretty much because we've seen the destruction, know the after-effects, and are scared shitless by it.That said, I think it's...paradoxical? We have them to stop a war, but no-one wants a war because of them. Hell, I need to go over this again... We have weapons of mass destruction...to stop war?

Wow. You seemed pretty patient and polite to be honest, I think it's just her problem from there on.

At first you won't notice many problems as when you get a new internet connection they give you the main line, good shit.
Then...once the ISP realises that you might actually use the advertised speeds, they downgrade your connection over time to ween you off.
Not sure which will go first, but streaming takes up more bandwidth I believe, so Netflix might get throttled first, but eventually they'll just give you total downtime periods if nobody gets the message to go outside and stop using the internet you paid for.
Source: My home internet and Uni accommodation internet. Both start great with quick speeds...both now total shite if more than 1 person uses Google.
