There's something a natural gap near the poles. If you look at standard magnetic field lines you can sort of see this as well. ESA has a good article about it: http://sci.esa.int/cluster/33272-plasma-regions/?fbodylongid=1170

Yeah, I was thinking about specifying that it was our economic interests that we were mostly concerned about, but ended up leaving it out. They did have alternative options though. Prior to Pearl Harbor we tried negotiations for the longest time and nonviolent means of persuasion. I've always thought Japan has a number of unique strengths that would have ensured something similar to modern Japan coming about, no matter what. It was good that they kept up their neutrality with the USSR. Russia(after not insignificant spying) was able to pull troops to help thwart Hitler's ambitions.

Yeah, I know a few and they are okay on the whole. I was talking with an acquaintance who is a member and he mentioned this. Receiving substantial local help when he needed it while traveling abroad with his family.

Meant for Hitler it wasn't all that wise. We didn't really want to go off and fight in the trenches of Europe. With our new focus on the Pacific, he may of even had time to solidify his position. In contrast with theft, frozen assets can be unfrozen. Japan had already invaded several countries at that point. If you were there, what would you have recommended we do instead to encourage Japan to back off on the aggression and withdraw to their home islands?

Neither had to, no(see Delta's Post). I think it was part strategy like Velocity_boy mentioned("I declare war on the US, hopefully Japan declares war on the USSR") and partly based on his personal admiration for the Japanese people that led him to do what he did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_Aryan#To_the_Japanese Fog of war probably played a large role as well. The Attack on Pearl Harbor appeared much worse than it was in terms of recovery. It definitely wasn't the smartest move. I agree we probably would have ended up involved anyways. A ship sinking could be blamed on German U-boats and suddenly we're all, "Remember the ________!"

He was allied with Japan and we were providing support for his enemies, despite technical neutrality.

That's an impressive collection there. Very nice. I'd definitely like to see more. Bit juvenile but having a chunk of coprolite continues to provide me with amusement How do you actually go about finding fossils? Are there dig sites, or do you simply go searchng?

Today I learned... and that we should really switch to the metric system already.

I think so. Man in the middle attacks are possible, but would mostly be restricted to Whatsapp or Governments.

Yeah, I'm at a larger hotel and we still have issues. Physical security of network infrastructure is the one I've been most involved with. Having some success with better access control and monitoring. Going to be a long and painful process though. VPN is definitely a good idea if you are concerned or are working on something that merits a higher level of secrecy.

Yeah, I would have a blast. In theory the free market should still assign you a value though. We have artificial diamonds these days yet people still value the "real" thing, despite artificial diamonds being superior quality. Some positions are not going to be easy to automate, so those will keep going for some time. For others, I think specifically human performed/produced artwork and services will be a big thing in the future.

If you do it young enough you are still within the window before long-term memories are forming. I understand some choose to wait until the child is older though. It isn't that long of a window unfortunately :/ There are also purely cosmetic procedures performed on children that strangely don't attract the same level of outcry. It did obviously get its start in religion, but that shouldn't have any bearing on our own reasoning process. Doesn't matter that washing got its start in ritual purification. We can rationally evaluate the evidence and decide whether it is a good idea based on its own merits.

Its a ton cheaper and they won't remember it? I'm not sure "blame" would be the word, but if I elected to have it done later I'm sure I'd be thinking an unkind thought or two.

Poles take the brunt of things :/ http://sci.esa.int/cluster/37763-from-macro-to-micro-turbulence-seen-by-cluster/ On the flip-side Auroras are pretty cool looking.

This made for an interesting read: https://medium.com/war-is-boring/everyone-relax-the-armys-native-american-helicopter-names-are-not-racist-d21beb55d782 Dream Catchers are a good case where the objectors have more valid criticisms. Child's mobile, altered and now commonly mass produced out of materials that have never even seen nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcatcher

Scripts are like mini-programs. Sometime scripts can go into an infinite loop or just take an eon or two to complete. Modern browsers try to detect this so you have an option to stop the script from running. You could try selectively disabling extensions and add-ons, though something like NoScript may provide a simpler route.

I'm just going to eat my English-style Fish and Chips. Ketchup goes great with Pacific Cod and French Fries

Yeah, I'm thinking a variation on marbling would work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_marbling Paper is traditional, but it works just as well with other surfaces.

My only gripe is that non-Jews can pick up the habit as well(Jewish friend). It is broadly accurate though.

You should be able to modify a graviton ride for simulating gravity. Mainly nobody knows how big an issue low G is going to be. If it is survivable without huge amount of atrophy before changing G's may not be worth expending resources on. With propellants you have to mine and process. Hydrogen used as fuel would also lead to rapid depletion. There are other options that might work though. Silicates are plentiful. RL they did look at adding a rotating sleeping module for the ISS at one point. Something like that could work well for a Mars trip or further out. Nautilus X if anyone is interested.

They've been focusing on senescent cells lately. I don't think it will produce immortality but significant life extension seems possible. It is possible for some of our cells to extend their own telomeres. We'd need to figure out repair/replacement though before we can safely apply it to all of our cells.

Yeah, I think we'll need to look at simulating gravity on the surface or find medical solutions. Not talking anything too unrealistic in managing muscle mass and bone loss. We do need more research on gestation in space though.

Easiest way would be to change the game program to provide it for you. Otherwise would have to look into screen scraping software.
