Still took a bit of effort and lateral thinking to hit 1,00,000 rounds per minute.

It's not the individual threads, it's the tapestry made whole.

Sweet as champ, no wuckers. Don't blow a seal, it'll be a mess for others to clean up.

It must be difficult watching language usage change without you. If it's any consolation, it changes faster than even descriptive dictionaries keep up - it must be purgatory for the prescriptive gate keeping ones.

> Australia is the best case scenario for solar power. Yes. (and no - it's a big country) The USofA is also a large country with the same land area (mainland USofA at least) and many places suitable for solar and wind. The South Aus

That's more of the "Gorgan LNG style Carbon Capture" I noted above - that's "capture" in the sense of releasing massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere while extracting massive amounts of natural gas .. but &q

They appear (I skimmed) to be investing in all any feasible ideas to capture CO2 from the air - this is a good thing. The numbers are daunting and the returns are scant, but the effort is one that should be made. The upside is I saw littl

There's been an "AI comment detect" algo trialed and running for a month or so now. If you see any probably human comments tagged as Mr Roboto either vouch (weak indication, needs a few others to boost) or email hn@<this s

Maybe look to the economic hell hole of Australia that's had a minimum wage linked to living standards for 120 year now. If a business isn't structured to pay external staff the minimum hourly wage in exchange for what they are e

There's a bit of space between batshit asylum crazy and "mental health break that was induced due to a death in the family". Maybe not a thing in the USofA, elsewhere a number of G20 countries have compassionate leave and suc

There's a lot to 'guess' with very old text with uncertain translation and no longer spoken or written original forms. Are these individual human kings, or dynastic reigns, such as the Tudors, Windsors, etc.

> it collapses and creates an ice age. We're already in an ice age (there is ice at the poles). I suspect you mean this would make Europe cooler, but do nothing to reverse the trend of increasing global mean surface (land + ocean)

Because this is science, not religion. The thesis: Climate change is strengthening El Niño clearly uses the word "is". Everything else is evidence, both for and against the thesis subject to interpretation. Here it's "

They have a plan and they are sinking much of their current fossil fuel use into the largest renewable energy system on the planet. Compared to, say, rolling back windfarms and redirecting that money (almost a billion) into dodgy neighbours

Ground based field instrumentation on specific potential threats has the advantages of being up close and always on target whereas sat observation is distant and intermittent. Multiple sat observations a day is great, obviously, but sudden

That all tracks - good additional comment. > Speculation , from trained geologists Probably about on par with speculation from trained geophysicists I'd warrant.

Just fine in completely different types of buildings. There's a lot of buildings to tear down and convert if you want to legitimately make comparisons.

Is it? What's the land area you'd like seamlessly and continuously monitored by a mobile object with moving parts ... and how is that a better solution than using static solar powered instrumentation?

No, but the US and UK did enact Red Flag laws.
