Wouldn't "perpendicular orbits" be a better description than "right angled planets?"

Nice, I like it.

I was joking, but since we're here,... MAGNA?

Edit, oo, I got it: MAANG. That way we can say, "Come on, MAANG!"

Maybe we should call it MANGA now.

It's a logo for Prince Charles' organization that awards companies making environmental efforts.

Zero specifics on what they're going to actually do. Is the plan to saran wrap the buildings? Glass dome the town?What is a decarbonization factory? How are existing privately owned buildings not grandfathered into new regulations? What are the "investors" getting out of this?

I bet you're right. My comment was an over simplification.

Its OK to destroy property if its your property. Objects are objects. If this becomes a thing I guess I'm a bigot.

The President is the leader of the executive branch, he does not have power to create laws or any other type of rules for citizens.

You may as well not use electricity or running water, what's the point? We live in the future.

I could see putting my phone away for a week or a month as a vacation from tech, but not to use the tools available to us at all is incredibly limiting, what else would you expect?

How much data does humanity currently have stored on hard drives? I think saying there will never be yottabyte storage is very short sighted.

Hopefully the Virginia election and fear of the upcoming midterms will convince the left that they've squeezed this hard enough and we can go back to reasonable preventative measures.

Your information is wrong. I wouldn't worry about fat so much, and if it's leaking into the pan, you're not eating it.

The real issue is sugar. The body uses or passes most fat. Sugar historically was hard to come by so the body stores it. I recently moved to the Midwest and am shocked at the addition of sugar to everything. And at the size of people.

To live is to take. If you want to take as little as possible, that's understandable. Many people want to live as much as possible.

There's absolutely no reason to stop eating meat, and we're not going to. Environmental concerns can be improved over time. It's a primary food type everywhere it can be gotten, and everywhere else is trying desperately to get more. Artificial meat will always be a minor alternative.

No pumpkin

Basically forcing people to live in common areas is horrible. Many people find public spaces distracting at best and uncomfortable or worse. Thank God I had my dorm room to escape to where my roommate and I only had to ignore each other to get some peace.

You can't split up a sentence without losing its meaning, but it's still comprised of independent words.

I don't have a study I can link you, but I would encourage you to ask around. I buy a lot of lumber and I talk to people across the country who do too. It goes far beyond anecdotes, the practice is common knowledge today.

A lot of these are phrases? Vaccine passport is two words, the definition of which essentially make clear the meaning of the phrase?

What a strange, labyrinthine article. No specific claims or facts, just broad, blurry analogies and unfinished thoughts. I'm on his side of the aisle and I can't even make heads or tails of his point. Not sure if this was written while high or generated by AI in a different language and translated.

God, look at the comments. "I can't wait to (describes VR gaming.)" The misunderstanding of technology across the population is so profound it's dumbfounding.

I think a version of the meta verse will arise eventually, but when have you ever known a major innovation to come from a tech company that is already huge in a relatively unrelated area? They just get bogged down and start eating themselves.

I agree, and I think it's somewhat generational. My dad is now on social security, but he will stop at any yard sale. Or talk for hours about trying to get some piece of furniture from an acquaintance. His house is full of cheap crap I'm going to have to haul away.

Quite the opposite, the lumber industry has been selling greener and wetter wood year after year. If they would stockpile the quality would increase, and they could build a cushion to fluctuating demand.

Thanks!

Archive? Would love to read this.

A lot of people are trying, they just stopped using guns, because a war is something you can lose. An economy is something you can slowly eat up over decades or centuries.

Think about the effect on your career of being ugly.

"Physical danger" is not caused by someone having a different opinion. Nobody has the right to change reality to suit the fragile worldview they've created for themselves. Rather, any rational worldview should be strengthened by investigation.
