I believe that world ocean level will be catastrophic by 2100. I do not plan on living until anywhere near 2100. In fact, 2050 would be pushing it. If I wanted to have a nice seaside house *now*, why is that cognitive dissonance? Sure, it i

It's not as a-vs-b as this. Rising sea levels will increase the damage of those more frequent hurricanes long before one's house falls into the sea. And that increases insurance costs, and so on. The whole thing is a single system

Exactly this. I mean, I know I qualify for the golden visa or equivalent in a number of countries in which I'd like to live. But that's *very* different from it making sense for me to turn on a dime and move there. And that's

Same. It's shifted from an escapist fantasy about getting away from it all to a more literal definition of "escapist fantasy". if it weren't for family & friend ties binding us to our geographical area it'd alre

The largest problem I found when I was going through the same thing was that every explanation that's trying to provide a non-abstract answer will always suffer the flaw of not being universally true. Because they're an abstract c

Until he learns that a rise in tracked cases does not necessarily an imply a rise in actual incidence, anything he says is suspect. There are nuggets of truth to what he says but he completely ignores for instance that a lot of the increase

It doesn't make them wrong. At least they were required to have some knowledge in the domain to get to their roles, as opposed to RFK.

Part of the problem is the mods' narrow definition of "conservative". And this is the larger point of this entire comment thread. There are plenty of people with traditional conservative values who are not welcome in r/c

That's a good reminder, I forgot about it being temporary. Looks like it was ~6 years before the initial failure, and it's been ~4 years since. I should start investigating potential migration paths that would allow me to do a HDD

My friends group has gone down the ZBiotics route. Some of us swear by it, others don't find much help. I've taken it a bit further by adding a handful of other products that purport to have similar benefits via different mechanis

Agreed. it was a pretty freak issue, albeit one that had a well known fix. I stated it here in full disclosure and did state that this was beyond what most people would consider tolerable. And I'll admit that I came very close to throw

Exactly. About 10 years ago I wanted to set up a NAS to store a variety of things. I have the knowhow to hand roll just about anything I wanted, but I lacked the desire or time to do so. At the same time, the simple things were tying me to

I have found a strong correlation between people who say JAVA and country of origin. And thus have assumed it's an education thing.

You made a definitive statement. You could have said something like "I find it to be less elegant", instead. But no, because you stated it as a truth there needs to be some measure of that.

by jghn 1y ago
"makes things safer and more elegant, but I have never seen that in reality." This is the claim that you're making. And yet terms like "elegant" have no objective definition.

No, your comments are nonsensical without it. You claim things as being inherently hard to read and understand. But this is a matter of one's personal context and experience. There are things that I'd find hard to read that you wo

Why not phrase it as "The Republican-controlled Congress is blocking things by not presented a bill amenable to a supermajority of the Senate"? Both are obviously factual, as you say.
