There are indications that part of it is genetic factors regarding rebelliousness were eradicated by the history of rice paddy farming.

Not really, one of the underlying issues is that the area is a horribly fragmented clusterfuck of municipalities making it literally impossible to have urban planning for the overall metropolis.

Not everywhere. Mostly blue areas, in fact. Catastrophic backfire.

And the relevant infrastructure is exactly what Google is the nearest use-case for, hence completing searches in fractions of a second. Latency reduction at this point is mostly about signal processing clockspeed, motherboard bottlenecks, and directness of the physical wires. And there's so few...

It's already been tried with Stadia, the issue is that the fundamentals of the infrastructure have latency problems for gameplay purposes. There's netcode wizardry to disguise parts of it, but the time it takes for the control inputs to reach the server means pure server-side is going to be...

Of course, that's once the canonization settled a few centuries after the fact. With literary near-redundancy from a line of differing transcriptions in the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, to much argument of exactly where the differences were drawn from.

By baking yellowcake, in the culinary sense.

Not according to NOAA or USGS. And the per volume intensity on the ground is negligible. The Carrington Event and 1989 Ontario blackout weren't caused by direct interference like an EMP, they were caused by the induction of telluric currents that compromised the circuit of the long-distance...

The Carrington Event wasn't an EMP, it was a geomagnetic storm. The reason for the damage is the flux over long distances without proper ground, which fucks up power management (and telegraphs) but down at the personal electronics scale is basically nothing.

The Carrington Event recurring is maily a problem for large-scale electrical work like power grids because it has to do with the flux difference over distance. Your phone, car, desktop PC, etcetera will almost certainly not be damaged, but there's fuck-all stockpile of gridscale parts and it...

Resulting crossover thought: Bit of the Clan Invasion Fleet runs into Niadra who's here because blowing up the Protoss warp drive mid-trip sent her spiraling off in strange directions, her abandonment issues rise to new hights because the Jump Drives scramble her telepathic control. So there's...

By Wookiepedia, lightsabers were also all Kyber crystals in the old EU material, but the term then was denoting the application and possibly some Force-related treatment process rather than the starting material.

Got purged from Disney canon, it's all Kyber now.

The critical caveat is that several contentious states rather blatantly violated the laws they did have on the books with changes to procedure via executive fiat, improperly printed ballots, incorrect materials for ballots, and many a chain of custody broken. Entirely aside all the statistical...

I'd say that it's the opposite, the way being a middle-man in economics works is that you're exposed to less overall risk because you aren't tied up nearly as specifically as direct supply-demand relationships. It's not nearly as bad for Levi if the farmer screws up because he can go to another...

Not really, it's more a clusterfuck of patrol timings and the terribly large overhead of defense saturation. They're not getting shit past a carrier group, but it takes a lot to draw one of those off-course.

The point is the slowly-increasing mass of voters being payed out more than they're taxed, thus they're being given goods payed for by taking money from people richer than them.

Wrong way around, the individualized prepping is downstream from the end of cohesive communities. In the sense that they have blurry and frayed edges of social connections and aren't particularly geographically constrained, so there's no clear line of "the community" to prepare. And the groups...

You were making good points about Vyor's offered definition being inaccurate, but then fucked up even harder with this. The system's purpose is defined by its creators, not its present operators. The present operators working otherwise is them subverting the system, rather than representative of...

I still hold that it would not be nearly as much of an issue without corporations taking full control over the capital involved. If residuals for the automation were a thing, instead of habitually stripping all IP rights by contract, then there'd be a decently-sized...
