Sounds like a good system until the Federalist Society and a generation of Christian judicial activism showed up and gave us a handful of partisan judges.

I wonder if the majority cares about climate change. My guess is they don't.

They aren't doing it because they are evil - that's totally silly. They're doing it because they hold what I consider to be bad ideas around supporting the public good and it's simply in their best interest to pay less t

I don't think it's a stretch to assume malice, billionaires are running the show and they aren't nice people that want to build a better world. If they want a population of poor, ignorant and unengaged worker drones they&#x27

The two strategies don't seem that different, one lowers quality the other massively hikes prices. Customers are getting ripped off either way.

Based on playing Civ I just assumed they were mostly valuable for their use in making gunpowder.

Not that your point is wrong, but the EU has plans to cut their gas and oil imports from Russia by two thirds in the next year. And I'm guessing cutting them off entirely in the next few years. It's not feasible to do much more th

If the goal was to recreate the original then that's fine I guess, but I don't see why anyone would want to actually play that game. My hand and arm hurt from playing for 25 mins.

If we're getting technical I think spending $272,000 on anything is going to have some environmental costs in line with spending $272,000.

That makes sense, the health claims should have been a dead giveaway.

Agreed, I like their predictions but I would guess 20 or 30 years for most of them, not 8. They think milk will be easier than meat, but I'm skeptical. Milk is a commodity, the price farmers got over the last decade has ranged from abo

I was trying to get an idea of what Japanese house prices are, but I couldn't find much beyond the cost of a new house. Which is less than in the US, but not by much more than 10-20%. I understand houses in Japan don't typically a

Aren't there fail-safe designs for newer reactors? Whatever tiny risk exists would be worth taking IMO.

Thank you, something about this didn't make total sense to me.

Transportation and cooling of meat in particular is nothing compared to the land area of North America and South America combined that we devote to growing crops to feed livestock. https://ourworldindata.org/global-land-for-

So you're not getting vaccinated and you've convinced yourself it's for pro-social reasons. Misinformation truly is something to behold.

Calling ff a mess is worse, as someone that absolutely hates ads it's a godsend.

Maybe, but if it's not broke, don't fix it. There seems to be very little political will to do much about money laundering.

From day one it's been silly to assume any outbreak of a virus is from a lab leak without evidence.

Zoom out and center it around the pacific ocean if you want to actually compare them.

How would you know that if there are no metrics?

A bit misleading, assuming someone could be misled into thinking Siberia was 118c.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, are you under the impression that ocean temps haven't gone up by 1c since industrialization? Because they have.
