I went through this when I was a teenager during Reagan's first term, and my parents when through it when they were teens during Kennedy. This article tones it down to a dirty bomb, and the results closely resemble any natural disaster

It's still here. But instead of doomscrolling about news, I see people doomscrolling about how they aren't good enough programmers. HN seems to promote a large number of redundant (and sometimes utterly vapid) blog posts of people

Remember in the 80's when republicans were aghast at musicians raising aid to help the starving people in Ethiopia, all the while screaming the Sam Kinnison line, "Nothing grows here you live in a f*king desert!!!"

I'm really amazed they can retain the phase of the material this way. When I learned about annealing different forms of steel in college materials class, I thought the entire object had to participate in the phase change. The fact they

Thankfully you didn't publish a blog post claiming you discovered a new way to represent coordinates, and then assert that programmers should switch.

McMaster.com webdevs should do Digi-Key next. ...or Arrow, Mouser, or Farnell. Yes, I realize 10 other people said the same thing. But I feel so strongly about this that I don't think an upvote is sufficient!

I also like Reuters, BBC and Al Jazeera, but I think the beeb is under too much scrutiny at home, but I still find them fair-ish?

I don't think that qualifies as "specious" because I'm not trying to deceive anyone. You missed the part where I stated TV isn't interactive. I tried to pose a question in good faith. Did I fail? I am interested in

This is a clear case of the "ad hominem" fallacy. You are saying his argument is wrong because of who he is. Just because he is doing something odd (holed up in Russia) doesn't mean he is wrong.
