I imagine any massive geoengineering project of this scale could take as long as 20-50 years to complete. We really do need to get started before things get so bad we are unable to bring the massive resources to bear that we will need for s

Maybe I don't understand the ramifications of this, but it kind of sounds like we missed the offramp where we just stop burning carbon. Shouldn't we just be moving to something drastic like a massive sun shade project ASAP?

It is absolutely a contract. This interpretation is just your personal opinion about how the world should work, and is not based at all in reality. These forms clearly meet the legal definition of a contract.

So this is unreliable, potentially slow, and more expensive than bunnyCDN? That makes no sense and this whole idea sounds like a pitch I would see for an ICO.

The pricing link doesn't work on my iPhone/mobile safari. Now the site is down...which makes me think this cdn doesn't work so well. I currently pay ~500/mo for a cdn so I am a real potential customer.

I mean it is generally your fault when you get scammed and your money is gone. Unless they scammed a third party who gave your money away. That is an entirely different can of worms. It is also the scammers fault for scamming, and they face

Are you saying Americans can't be the villains in blockbusters? That is definitely not correct. None of the things you mentioned are required by the US like China requires things in its movies.

No, I am responding to this statement and staying entirely on topic: "No other country would put up with such blatant disregard for people's health in favor of greed." You are trying to limit the scope of "greed" to

The inflation rate is 2688670%, they are refusing aid, they are having widespread electricity outages and food shortages, it seems like their leader has become a despot. At what point is it reasonable for an outside intervention?

At that time she was identifying herself as a father though. There is no need to whitewash history. When people get married and change their last name they don't make people go into quotes from the past and change them, and that is far

This idea is absolutely going to backfire and drive up rents because they are about to massively constrain the supply of rentable houses.

This is very obviously not going to work out well. This policy means the total rentable property supply will now not increase and only decrease for X years based on this policy. Rents are going to spike throughout the city. Trying to mess
