  1. Banned for thinking I stalk people.
  2. 2045 - Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts a Technological singularity for 2045, i.e. a runaway cycle of self-improvement by intelligent machines, resulting in explosive technological development. Based on Ray Kurzweil's ideas, Time magazine predicts humans will be immortal by this year. Demographic projections "foresee the population of Egypt overtaking that of Russia by 2045," according to Niall Ferguson. Two of Japan's largest cities - Tokyo and Osaka - will be connected by a direct high-speed maglev route. The United Kingdom is set to overtake Germany as Europe's leading economy. According to a 2003 NASA study, a manned mission and subsequent colonization of Jupiter's moon Callisto may become possible around this year .
  3. If you eat a big burrito while hanging upside down, you will look really funny.
  4. 95% actually, and another 4.5% if you get a second vaccination dose afterwards. Still, that means that 5 out of 1000 vaccinated are still vulnerable.
  5. Do a little research yourself then... See what the differences are between cultures, and decide for yourself AFTER you do some research.
  6. 2043 - Assuming no further changes in the copyright law, all sound recordings fixed between February 15 and December 31, 1972 will enter public domain in the United States. The Indian Economy could surpass the US Economy, predicted by Goldman Sachs.
  7. YAY! I slept for 5 uninterrupted hours! (the longest I've had in 5 days) Finally found where the bug that was crashing my mod came from... It was with the addition of the laser anti-missile system into the aircraft; it didn't like me making a new weapon to use with it, it only likes the one specific one that was designed for the other general. Too bad though, that means I have to do something else to try and balance the aircraft now. (I was going to make it about 50% effective instead of it's current 95%)
  8. It's all about likelihoods... You are less likely to contract a fatal form of a disease if you're vaccinated, but it isn't guaranteed. That's all. You're not guaranteed to contract a fatal form of any disease simply because you didn't get vaccinated, just more likely. Blaming the unvaccinated for the spread of diseases is like blaming people that don't use turn signals for all forms of car crashes. Vaccination isn't a cure, or a guaranteed preventative, it is merely introducing a severely weakened or dead form of the virus, and hoping the immune system uses it to become more resistant or immune to that particular strain of the virus.
  9. And culture DO make a SIGNIFICANT difference. Corruption for other cultures can mean more or less, and can be easier or harder to remove with peaceful means. We don't know exactly how far the corruption has gone here, but we do know it has taken over most of the federal government, and that similar corruption in the past required either bloodshed, or the threat of overwhelming force to remove. (and peaceful demonstrations have never done a damn thing to corruption)
  10. But without it being in the wild, we wouldn't have it in ANY environment, controlled or not.
  11. Scheduled completion of the proposed project to create a railroad connecting Moscow to New York.
  12. 2041 - Scheduled completion of the proposed project to create a railroad connecting Moscow to New York.
  13. DMxAFtm3XlU
  14. 10/10 It's the Simpsons. DMxAFtm3XlU
  15. Air flowing past circularly spinning blades, and through ducting. (A.K.A. the fan on my laptop)
  16. Getting pissed because the mod is causing the microwave tanks to generate full screen blackouts, (I think it's a conflict with my video driver software, maybe SSAO) and building Raptors makes the game crash. (I'm trying to copy over the laser anti-missile defense from the Airforce General's King Raptor)
  17. And yet, the disease itself can be used as a cure for blood cancer... So why are we trying to completely eradicate it?
  18. "Tippity-tap... Repeat."
  19. When was the first time? 2013? 2033, in the Metro... It's in Russia. 2039 - The Destroyers for Bases Agreement's ninety-nine-year rent-free leases granted to the United States by the United Kingdom will expire.
  20. 6/10 +8 for hilarity, -2 for crappy rap.
  21. Banned for not trying to stalk instead of just using street view. (it's more fun)
  22. I wouldn't consider them sports like a normal sport, but definitely in the realm of mental sports. (like chess) Have you ever tripped, scraped your hand, then done it in the exact same place twice more the same day, in the same location, and NOT thought that you should probly do something different next time you go past that location? (spoiler: I have)
