Up to a certain point, yes you pay per physical unit. You get a lot better rate if you can fill a whole intermodal container. You get an even better rate if you buy that containers capacity for an agreed upon period of time. There's a

But it does means the USPS truck is less than optimally full, but still costing about the same to run, meaning tighter, if not negative, margins. These tighter margins will (if they weren't government supported) eventually mean that th

But multiplayer games are indicative of an increased consumer demand for stable, synchronous connections. So are video calls. Live streaming, etc. You're missing the forest for the tree you don't like

I can pay FedEx to get my shit somewhere faster than my competitors. My customers are delighted by this and in turn they spend more with me and less with my USPS shipping competitors. Data packets are just digital shipped goods. The same r

Orca rarely travel or work alone. They use group tactics.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a single case of a wild orca going after a human without provocation. There are lots of recorded cases of them helping humans though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of

By no means do I want to hand wave it, I'm just personally not convinced of the presented outcomes. I know that alarmism is the best way to get attention, but its also the best way for me to think you're a zealot who should be ign

I'm mostly concerned about the scale were looking at. A 50-100 year uptick is nothing on the timescales that the planet operates on. Even 20k years is miniscule.

You don't think we will? Perhaps not as many of us. But that's part of the problem isn't it? Too many humans, chopping down forests, over fishing, sucking melted dinosaurs out of the earth.

The Catholic Church from the year 0 to 1800 did lots of that. They had meetings to draft the Bible. What should be included. What should be excluded. The cool Pope we have now is rolling back tons of rules because it's necessary for th

I hope to call a spade a spade. They throw homosexuals off of rooftops on a regular basis, for being homosexuals. They're actively bombing Yemen. They chopped a journalist up last year, and had an episode of "will it blend" w

As we see from the parent here, plenty of other scientists were starting to come to the same opinion, many of them with patronage from the Church, but they had the sense about them to realize that they needed to be 100% certain before the C
