[citation needed] We have no idea where the term originated from. Stop lying and posting this BS because your incessent need to belabor your otherwise incorrect point proves otherwise.

> So, I guess to be consistent, keep your “linguistic imperialism” to yourself...

Right and what happens when include the pollution for disposing of those lithium ion batteries when they eventually die?

Oh, we're just going to ignore this inconvenient truth.

But please, let's keep lying by omission.

Right, so long as we out source the pollution somewhere else where in the world it's OK.

Sure since we're both clearly lying by omission.

> Don’t know why you’re recommending soft genocide instead.

I didn't recommend that at all. It's the cold reality and if it's too much for you to stomach that's your problem.

Indeed true, Africa's fertility rate, while slowly dropping, is still whopping 32 births per 1000 people. Increased development helps but food aid is what supports a large number of sub Saharan Africans who are bolstering those numbers. Famine and food prices are still a strong dictator of fertility in Africa.

Africa isn't at all at carrying capacity. There's more than enough arable farm land to support the current population and more.

See Kenya, once the bread basket of Africa and now no longer because their leadership kicked out white farmers, gave the land to local Kenyans, and unfortunately those locals even after all these years haven't figured out how to get the yields that the old owners did.

The problem comes down to the locals who are either unwilling or unable to farm effectively at yields that support the population. Then the food aid comes in which is where we're at now.

The unfortunate reality: When NGOs, the UN, and other do gooders stop providing aid to Africa, the population problem will (unfortunately) solve itself. This scenario may happen sooner rather than later if a world war breaks out or further shocks to the good supply occur.

Dark, dry, and away from insects is really all one can do.

My family has a handwritten journal from a family member that wrote it in the 1880s. It is still in good condition.

I also have 100-150 year old books on koine greek (modern versions are trash). They're in great condition.

I'd say print. Paper, hardbound copy books stored in a proper place so they last. Next up is stone.

> But you do, not participating has opportunity risk.

You're right it does, but I know what the risk is. I do not know what the risk is for said untested beta product.

Please valiantly be the better man by being society's guinea pig. I have a family and have reasons for living.

I would however recommend getting a life insurance policy so when the obvious happens you won't leave your loved ones high and dry.

Good question and not to sound like an ass but that's not our problem and more an SEO one.

Which in my opinion is a good thing.
