When I owned and operated a computer store about 30 years ago I ran into a lady that had an interest in computers. She was a bartender at a local dive. Knew nothing of technology. I taught her what I knew and gave her some experience out in

When the ice melts we will probably find an remnants of an advanced civilization. Through some of the preserved records we will see that they were trying there best to ban solar and wind and rid the earth of electric cars so as to ward off

Fair enough. You focus on where you think is important and I’ll focus on where I choose to. In my case the United States is 100% of my world.

Is causing trouble not really terrorism? What if the scale changes from 14,00 to someone taking down key pieces of the power grid and NYC goes without power for a day? If this happened in my neighborhood I’d want the authority in charge to

I think Musks idea of making Twitter a more economically viable, open, and transparent platform for free speech was just for that. I’m sure he did that knowing that Libs would be butt hurt and that would introduce challenges to the first go

That's worth more than a side note. When I was non-remote I drove home 2-3 days a week (1hr round trip) when no one else was home to let them out and spend 30 minutes with them.

How exactly does your opinion on transit exempt itself from being subjective?

Progress is a very subjective term. It’s very okay that your view of progress is different than mine.

Safe? Shall we use BART as an existing example of that? Quick? No. Fast maybe. It’s hard to replicate the quickness of jumping into your car and hopping onto the freeway to get somewhere. Little or no planning required. Yeah the train if it

If Musk did have anything to do with slowing or stopping that colossal waste of taxpayer funds I would say his “vision” is superior to any of the politicians who supported it.

Unless you live in a cave you cannot possibly be ignorant of the multiple accounts of Twitter censoring people’s discussions. Examples? A quick search on Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/media/twitter-double-standard-h

Read the article. Sounds like in that instance it was a good choice to remove the dam and had a good outcome. Well based on the information presented anyhow. Also I’m not sure if the main justification for removal pencils out for me. Yes so

Perhaps. I suppose that would depend on size and depth of the reservoir and the makeup of the river. Also without a dam the water would be traveling the river mostly during the cold wet season with little evap. So yeah likely so. But in the

Yup that’s simplistically true. The difference though they do allow you to choose when it gets released. Around where I live that allows irrigation of crops during the summer months. That water does not go into the ocean. Also around here m

Yup my opinion only. To me water is life and if you let it flow to the ocean where it’s only use is to dilute saltwater you’ve wasted a precious natural resource.

That ship has already sailed as most power producing dams have been around for long time. Removing them would destroy the (now natural) ecosystem they have created. Plus dams have way more benefits to us than the extremely clean energy they

You used FBI and the term law enforcement in the same sentence. Sad to say the respect I once had for what the FBI likes and dislikes has been greatly diminished by the political bias that seems to influence it’s actions. I look forward to
