The name is actually "Gorgon"? So a gas company named a project after a legendary monster. I'm not sure how to feel about this. CO2 sequestration sounds good in theory. But...

I don't care that Apple isn't violating laws sharing this information with carriers. For a company that likes to portray itself as respecting customer privacy, this is a failure. Shame on you, Apple. If you want to keep your reput

Whereas I have an uncle, a retired CEO, with perhaps the same amount of money. The man is a monster. However, per my cousin, I can't say for sure just when that nature revealed itself but certainly no later than 20 years into his caree

I remember meeting (then) Tobi at an inspiring "punk" Ruby event in 2007 in Toronto, RubyFringe, and thinking he seemed like a mildly spoken decent guy. How times have changed.

Also look at Marc Benioff who checks stock market has seesawed Salesforce into a low it hasn't seen in 4 years. The man seems to manage to repeatedly pull failure from the jaws of success. Now look at his earnings.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. I will tar and feather the "right" constantly. The "left", here, is somewhat better. As you say, though, neoliberalism has infected both parties. Personally, I&#x27

For us Imperialists, 10C is 50F. We would, quite literally, be cooked. That'd leave us with summers around 140-150F.

Waiting for this to get flagged because, once again, the US sucks. A lot of us know why the US is behind in wind and solar. It's because of a five letter word that starts with "T". Do better, America.
