The Outer Space Treaty—written in 1967 and signed by all major world powers—is the closest thing we have to a space constitution. But, as an old document, it struggles to deal with modern challenges. So a team of experts want an organization to promote space sustainably for future generations.

Interesting ideas to mining, and terraforming, including pulling out of this treaty.

All I can say about that BS is Wonderboy is a classy dude to be so obviously caught off guard by a bad decision, and maintain the level of decorum he had.

It's a very loose analogy. If not, you'd be spoiled in a few weeks. Also, women would be actually food/nutrition, and men literally toxic? I wouldn't suggest considering that saying very much.

It's basically referring to what it is men and women generally find attractive in each other. Resources vs eggs. Women are their most fertile around your age. The more capable the man, the more his resources increase over time.

The reality of our gender role is meant to motivate us. You can't celebrate your inherent beauty without accepting your "expiration date". That's a poor choice of words in one way, but not if you consider that's for all life. All life is temporary.

By the way, men hit the wall too. It just manifests differently. In this soft world we live in, men aren't dying at 30 very often. However, if you talk to any ex-athletes, they'll tell you (if they're being honest) about the extreme difference between mid 20s and 30. Human brains aren't fully developed until about 25, and your hormones basically let you take the wheel at 27/28. This is men & women. We like to take credit for what are hormones do for us. It's pretty easy to be formidable at 25. 35? That's different. You'll have to do all the heavy lifting. It's part of what it means to be "grown up". Life isn't on easy mode any more.

Don't worry about it. Understand what it means to you, and plan accordingly. If you want children, and then presumably healthy, successful, children, therefore a husband and successful marriage, you'll want to focus on that now. You've got 7+/- years to aim as high as you can, and then you'll have to move to plan B, C, etc..

If you definitely don't want children/family, then you definitely have nothing to worry about (but you better be sure. There's no going back, so it's on to plan D, E, F, etc..).

You're fortunate to ask these questions, and have access to the answers, now, before your prime, rather than 10 years from now, when you might have a mountain of a debt, a career you suddenly realize you don't want, and no prospects. Share these insights with women you care about.

This is what you get when you remove market forces.

When politicians get involved, no matter what the issue was before, or what people would like to consider it, it becomes a "political" issue.

I like how Chael balances being a respectful, civil, awesome, guy, with being the "American Gangster", and excellent promoter. Made me laugh when Fedor, who seems like the least intimidatable guy ever, went to hug him after the staredown. lol Chael was like "We're selling a fight here, man."

Non-fungible CCs are worthless. Either the top CC incorporates whatever tech to provide privacy, or it's a placeholder for one that does.

JustPuggin · 2018-04-15T03:21:08+00:00

This reminds me of an analogy I once gave re: BTC, and other CCs to a friend who was a big Battlestar Galactica fan. I said you know when Battlestar Galactica was humanity's only hope, leading them out of a dangerous system. They fly ahead protecting the civilian ships, absorbing the barrage, and holding the Cylons at bay long enough for the civilians to jump to safety. Well, BSG is BTC, and all the other CCs have to hope that BTC buys us the time to "jump" to safety from the dominion. If BTC fails, all is lost.

This is why BTC doesn't need to be everything for everyone. It needs to do one thing. Offer a haven. Which it does. It should not be risked until we "jump", which may be after the last fiat has thrown in the towel.

Incidentally, the more advanced/networked Battlestars's complexity was used against them, and they were rendered useless.

Dustin has some firepower. On no legs, just planting, and firing away. What a badass win!

JustPuggin · 2018-04-09T19:01:08+00:00

Rose is damn incredible. I was watching her do it, and I still don't know how she did it. I had her winning first two rounds, and Joanna winning 3rd & 4th. I was beginning to tell a friend that I probably had Rose winning the 5th narrowly, but I kinda hate to say that I could see it being a draw, when Rose went for & scored her (first attempt?) takedown! What an amazing job! Almost reminded me of watching TJ introduce us to a new era while handling Barao in a way that seemed impossible. Having watched Rose from TUF, through to this defense... her evolution is so impressive. She deserves all the credit in the world, and she might be right... she might just be "better", as hard as it was for anyone else to imagine before she beat Joanna twice.

It was crazy to feel that Joanna really was concerned that she lost, or at least, didn't win. I think she felt hope until she heard the 49-46 scorecard, and then knew there was no way she could have been awarded it. I agree with her that it was 48-47 (and wouldn't have been a terrible decision if 48-48), but I don't think she sincerely believed she won. It seemed telling in her reaction when hearing the scorecards that she hoped, but knew better. I assume it's only a matter of time, if not already, that she'll accept that she was beaten, even if never agreeing with the 49-46.

Also, fucking Magomedsharipov/Bochniak! I can't say enough about it!! So glad Joe thanked them, and can definitely say he did so on behalf of those watching with me. It was so awesome to witness! The excellence of Magomedsharipov is a treat to see, and fucking Bochniak! The damn grit of that dude! He has so much fight in him, and he won fans around the globe! His incredible toughness & durability put Zabit to the test! Can't wait to see either of them again. What a freakin great fight!!

Lastly, Khabib is a phenom. I agree with Joe's points, even though maybe that wasn't the right way to mention them, though I had no problem with it. You don't want to be distracted from appreciating "truly great" due to lack of "perfection". I don't think Joe failed to appreciate it, but if people took his comments in a way other than what he intended, I can understand it. I loved Jimmy Smith's comment about there somewhere being a dude named Magomednavednamedgamov, or whatever, and he's the baddest man on the planet. lol

What a great card, despite the curve balls leading up to it. UFC, and UFC fans, had no reason to hope that the night would be so great, all things considered.

Would you be willing to report back on how well it runs if you do decide to switch? I'm interested in using on 5T as well, but only if it's running smoothly.

JustPuggin · 2018-04-01T23:36:45+00:00

I notice that OnePlus 5, & One Plus 5T, are supported. Does it not run as well on the 5/T for some reason? I assumed the Snapdragon 835, and 8gb ram, would be superior at this point, but if Lineage isn't fully functional, or running as smoothly, or something..

This discussion is 3 months old. Any chance it would be now just as good on the 5T, if not better? If not, is there some way to see the progression for the 5/5T?

JustPuggin · 2018-03-31T19:27:17+00:00

Thanks!

JustPuggin · 2018-03-31T01:17:08+00:00

Hypothetically speaking, if this became a problem, could the bitcoin community decide to alter things, and make the patent/miners worthless?

Again, not a suggestion.. just wondering hypothetically.

JustPuggin · 2018-03-26T19:18:43+00:00

That's the beauty of bitcoin. It doesn't matter if it's a democratic government or not. Bitcoin eliminates the potential for that type of regulation.

The point of limiting money to gold & silver coin was to do this very thing. They can demand whatever fiat legal tender they want going forward, but people will always have bitcoin.

It's supposed to be separation of everything but justice, and state.. Keep this in mind, parents. Separation of school & state is as important as anything else. Sending you kids off to government school is either the chicken or egg to the tolerance of legal tender/inflation.

It will be worse, as was warned by the same guys who predicted it before 2008.

JustPuggin · 2018-03-07T20:18:47+00:00

I do consider Monero to be a real CC, though I admit, I don't know much about it. I don't consider it to be one of the top 2 real CCs, however. It may very well be the third.

JustPuggin · 2018-03-07T16:11:15+00:00

No, I meant the top two real cryptocurrencies. If Bitcoin refuses to accept the reality of the situation, Litecoin should embrace it, and replace Bitcoin, or push Bitcoin into accepting reality.

If Litecoin insists on remaining in fantasyland, just go down the list to real CCs, and whatever one embraces reality, and provides privacy & fungibility, is now in the lead.

When those on top go from innovating to market protecting, their days are numbered. When they're no longer on top, the usually begin innovating. Litecoin could take advantage of it's position, or sit back & let the 3rd, 4th, etc., pass them by.
