Or just get your kids vaccinated? Their kids will get diseases and natural selection will handle the rest

The video in the article shows them testing with an electric leaf blower.

He does it on purpose. He wants his art to be experienced a certain way. That way is in a theater with the best sound tech. I agree it's horrible, but I don't think it will stop.

Have you ever played the telephone game? Things change as people retell a story. Science is based on information directly from the source. It has to be verifiable. It's ok to use the stories to learn about a culture and their history, but they aren't suitable for science.

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn't used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.

Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Yeah bring back telephone operators too while we're at it! No one should ever lose a job! Jobs are a person's whole life and they should get to do it even if something else could do it better!

Stopping tech from taking jobs just doesn't make any sense. If we did have the perfect economic system, having that tech would lower the overall amount of work that needs to be done. That is a good thing. We should fight for fair labor practices, but fighting to keep labor itself around is the wrong idea. Why keep useless jobs around? Just to keep people employed?

I could use a good site like this

I'd keep an eye out for abandoned houses. They seem to be everywhere around the Iowa countryside at least. Just watch out for trail cams lol you can usually spot them with your phone camera

 

Having the option to block an instance from showing up in the All feed on a per account basis would be really convenient. Some things I only want to see some of the time.

 

Sorry if this isn't the right place to leave feedback, but I've noticed this a lot. Comments will be indented too many times, sometimes the parent comment won't load, but all of the child comments will, sometimes the 'view more' button will appear above the comments that it does show, sometimes I'll even see a button called 'show parent comment' which seems like it should never happen. I've seen more weird things, but that's what I can remember. I also tried adding a picture to this post, but it gave me an error about a bad character and failed to add.
