CA is actually facing rolling blackouts for exactly the same reasons, yet it's always amusing that TX only ever seems to get talked about here :p

Who's going to pay for these mythical natural gas and coal plants that are idle until needed? Also with coal in particular it can take days to ramp them up - coal is for base load, not demand. If it were only as simple as you are postu

Adobe in particular is why 64 bit carbon didn't happen. Apple had to drag them kicking and screaming out of Carbon into the yellow box. Fun times!

If you are wearing a mask, you are protected (or so you seem to believe). Why isn't that good enough? No one should be shamed for wearing a mask if they feel it's best for them. Others shouldn't be shamed if they don't

Is it? There is more and more consensus that banning DDT caused more deaths than it prevented. The world is a complex and interconnected place and decisions have direct and indirect consequences. Frankly it's refreshing to see any u

I'm just waiting for the observation that cancer causes cancer :p

Thank you. The real problem is all of the above advantages you cite only happened because you thought for and took care of yourself. Most people can't seem to be bothered. They think that if only "the government" would do it

Atlas Obscura is an awesome resource - and a great way to discover lots of interesting things around you that you may not even be aware of!

Yup - it's my first thought whenever I see these nostalgic accounts of Blockbuster - "What? People are pining for the bad guy again?!?"

Negotiate to pay for medical services with cash - the price difference is astonishing. The overhead of the insurance companies is insane!
