Not misguided. Because here in the real world, both now and for the foreseeable future, especially the near future in which we have to urgently deal with climate change impacts, energy production does indeed have those side effects.

This definitely cries out for a detailed explanation of the engineering principles involved.

It's really to the point now where we need to ban "smart" TVs, since every single one of the manufacturers is demonstrably unable to handle the responsibility of engineering these things correctly. Sony can't do software

It's an issue because "bonified" means something else. Look it up.

That's not a "form" of bona fide, however. It's a separate word that means something else.

Could we please stop with the Trumpist framing? The pandemic "imposed" the need for safety measures. The fact that our government (usually, at least) went along with what was obviously required to protect citizens' lives is n

Butter actually wasn't $2.50 at any point in the recent past. This is easy to track. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000FS1101 So of the two items you cherry-picked to support an assertion that groceries ha

Great article, despite the painful spelling of "bona fide" as "bonified". I guess they don't have a copy editor.

Fine, true, palm oil is one of the rare exceptions. But the point is, this is not a tremendously complex issue. A person of average intelligence can learn about partially hydrogenated trans fats, and one or two other fats to avoid, and mast

I know. I edited my comment to correct that. Apologies for the error, hydrogen fans!

Congrats, you just doubled or tripled the cost just to make this kludge work.

Why do you assume that any and all forms of getting high involve poisoning?

Why are you intentionally misrepresenting the very clear comment you are responding to?

by Bud 4y ago
It's not that complex, actually. The vast majority of fats, all the natural ones, basically, are fine. Healthy, even. The weirdass plastic fats created by injecting hydrogen into vegetable oil are not fine. Done! Was that really so nua

His "constitutional right"? This is a joke, right? Please say yes. Please tell me it doesn't have to be explained that there's no "constitutional right" to use a chess website.

It's not limited and it's not merely "technically correct". The only thing that has been exposed here is your lack of understanding of how all this works.

You seem deeply confused about this entire topic. Amazon Prime Video should actually be run by an "independent firm"? Who? Who pays for that? Who ensures they are impartial? Why? Ludicrous.

Please do a few basic googles (like "mandatory vaccination history") before pretending to know what is "unprecedented in history". You have no idea what you are talking about. https://www.nytimes.com/2021

You don't appear to have the faintest idea what gaslighting means. Hint: this isn't it. Yes, of course the rollout of covid vaccines was different than YOUR EXPERIENCE of all other vaccines. Because you weren't around when th

Polio pisses you off, but you're agitating against vaccination for no good reason? You might want to make some basic connections here, figure out what you are really for, and whether you're willing to do basic responsible intellig

We're not deploying new renewables "pretty much as fast as we can". We're not even close to doing that. In actuality, we have ludicrously-rich power centers which are actively subsidizing fossil fuels and warring against

But they're certainly aware of the general issue. Also, there does not appear to have been conclusive evidence that aspiration was warranted, especially not in 2020. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P
