Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Glaciers formed over millennia. If they melt, they’re gone, even if we drop CO2 to pre-industrial levels. The Antarctic ice sheet is millions of years of snow that fell at the rate of a few inches a year and just didn’t melt. If significant portions of that fall off and melt, it’ll be millions of years more for the water it adds to the oceans to cycle back to the ice sheet again. The changes we have made will not be reversed automatically or in many cases at all.

Because it won’t work? That’s what I got from the article. I’m not sure what else you’re implying.

From what I understand it doesn’t matter, that’s just a label they assign to all the data they have about you. Attaching all of that to your real name is trivial once they have the profile.

Right? Let’s demonize vore fetishists next, those are clearly cannibals in waiting.

They don’t want to carry inventory because Amazon doesn’t. The prices are higher because vendors are contractually obligated to sell on Amazon at their lowest price. So retailers, with a need to have a physical presence and having to buy at more or less the same price a product is available for on Amazon, get fucked. Their only hope is vendors who make a “different” product to sell at other outlets. An example of what I mean is, Poppi soda sells for $20/12 pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 pack at Costco for the same price. Because it’s a “different” product they are not in breach of contract.

Okay, four. Hundred.

IIRC, 36” was the biggest standard CRT that was sold do consumers, after that you were looking at rear projection screens which got as big as 80” (maybe more, not sure.).

In fact, being stupid is probably a benefit.

Batteries are heavy and expensive. A wired power source is so much more efficient for rail it’s barely worth discussing.

Jesus, is there any way both sides can lose? Because fuck ticket scalpers, but fuck Ticketmaster too.

There’s a value to having a standard image or images that are used to assess compression algorithms’ performance. It could just as easily be a picture of a bouquet of flowers, or a bunch of puppies.

According to some versions of the myth, Medusa was beautiful and terrifying. So pretty much half of the women DD dates.

My first thought after hearing that saying 20-something years ago was “the player perpetuates the game.”

If people refuse to play, there is no game to hate.

I worked at a small school that had diesel for the buses but vans had to be fueled at a gas station with a school credit card. Police departments in any major (American) city will definitely have several fueling stations for cop cars.
