This is nearly a year old. However it really is funny to consider that a country can tax such an abundant thing as the sun.

I'm not so lazy that I can't hold my phone and google for something. Pass.

It's good to see Europe taking the opposite approach of America with regards to Glyphosate. Forget the studies and just let time show us who is right and who is wrong.

All I do know is that humanity made it this far (15000+ years of agriculture) without such chemicals and we'll probably make it much further without them.

If you like Glyphosate, fair enough, enjoy! The rest of us might sit on the sidelines and watch this experiment unfold.

Agreed, there is no conspiracy here. Just a series of systemic flaws. What's scary is that there needs to be a discussion on this but few economists are brave enough to voice their concerns. David Harvey, Steve Keen, and others are stepping up but we need more people.

Keep in mind also that the 10% reserve doesn't mean physical money (paper/coins). When a bank loans money, it can create $9 out of thin air for every real $1 it holds (be it in paper or in DB entry). When loans are being paid back, the banks count that payment as "real" money against which they can loan 9x the value again. In theory at least, this process can repeat to infinity.

I wonder if anybody unit tested this design for flaws.

Land the rocket on some flame-proof air bags. It doesn't have to land vertically does it? Let it fall over gently if need be.

Herbivore men in Japanese is not "soshoku danshi", it's "soshoku KEI danshi". Just sayin'.

It's an unrelated video somebody created subtitles for. The only thing funny about it is the guy's laugh, especially at the last second of the video.

Take your well-visited paths and drag them to the left (where Apps, Documents, etc… are).

Then just click on those labels. It's even faster than typing the path in Window's location bar.
