How about providing concrete methods for reducing population? Exactly how do you propose to reduce population and who should be forced to not have children first? Should we assume that you will lead by example?

Holding the mouse in the right hand allows for holding a pen in the left at the same time. I find that, and having the notepad next to the keyboard, to be quite useful. There's also no risk of the notepad being in the way of the mouse

Are we expected to take you word, or mainstream media's, for it? I say, no more. It's a fact that it was widely predicted, as near certainty, by mainstream media that Twitter's fall was imminent after Musk's takeover.

No need for wiring from the controller. A distributed IO breakout box at each cluster site, with CAN communication in between, would suffice.

Arguably free media is suppressed in most of Europe. In Sweden state press subsidies are not given to press considered extreme by those in power to give it. Of course, and no wonder, those in power is the opposition. The situation is simila

A cursory search for Programable Industrial Controller gave me no hits apart from PLCs. Those would typically contain PID controllers. Could a link be provided to a PIC as meant here?

Global scientist consensus is nonsense. There’s only consensus if dissidenters are excluded and suppressed.

The stream clouds created initially on launch were replaced by dust clouds. Where did that dust come from? I wonder how much damage was done to the launch pad this time.

What I often remembered most from first person shooters is the architecture, and music, even though I didn't focus on it at the time. I frequently also dream architecture or vistas. I love those dreams. Sometimes I wonder if I chose th

Plenty of assumptions there. There is nothing to say that correctness is a function of size or homogeneity. The claim is cause for concern in itself.

Historically electrically powered convection radiators were very common in northern Sweden and plenty of one-family houses still have them. Perhaps their relative inefficiency was good enough in earlier times when power in northern Sweden w

YouTube censors arbitrarily. And censoring is the companion of propaganda. With lying by omission being a close friend.

Just like image-generating AI can’t write anything coherent, it appears equally hard for me to read any text in my dreams.

Would “coming Wednesday“ or just “on Wednesday”, or “on Wednesday in a week” be less ambiguous?

Whoever specifies or asks implies that the exact amount is not important and defers it to the reader/interlocutor to decide. It can then be a few = a couple > 1 several > a few

Don't know about elsewhere but in Sweden companies, and what's worse government funded organisations, outsource and demand the use of services by Google, Facebook etc. Otherwise you'll be treated like a second class citizen.
