your gas-powered car (and any non-renewable energy) doesn't just emit CO2 -- particulate matter is a major cause of early death. not to mention, sit in a closed garage with an ICE-powered car running for long enough, and you'll die...

nope. you do realize there is very little incentive for scientists to publish on climate change? if they took a job in the oil business they'd be doing "very well for themselves". follow the money, look at who stands to lose/gain by lying. in a science profession, years of lying will come...

git is actually not just about collaboration, which is nice, but about how to organize the flow of development. any version control system (git, hg, etc.) can help you manage making changes and avoid going down the hole of a breaking change that you don't know how to repair. this is not...

@EvilDragon when will we get a link to pay off the final amount (speaking as a pre-preorderer)? i'm not sure if the force of my F5 frequency on my email is strong enough. :D

do you think maybe your website is biased if it straight out calls someone a weasel? "Kary Mullis offered to debate the little weasel but he refused..." i feel like if you have objective facts on someone, you shouldn't need to resort to name calling.

in old news, New Zealand's doing well, likely due to decisive governance, effective communication, and high population compliance... it'd be fun to build a dyson sphere (swarm), but most people don't think long-enough term... we'd need a lot of compliance from people over the long term for...

will we help out the "least" among us during this time? asking for a friend :)

i tend to run low, temperature-wise, so i'm in the 97 range usually. don't take it as a failing of the thermometer. unless you feel a lot different, you only need to take your temperature once a day. it will help the battery last ;).

yeah, if you go fast enough, length contraction of the space between you and the star happens, so it looks like a smaller distance zooming past you before you make it there. the way i remember it is that a photon experiences no time at all - it starts its life in one spot and is immediately in...

yeah we were going to meet up with my folks but with things as bad as they are, as well as state and CDC recommendations, we will prolly cancel... Canadian Thanksgiving didn't go over so well

a kid wearing a mask isn't any more torture than wearing any other piece of clothing. (kids would wear scarves where i grew up, at least in the winter time ;)) there's a social stigma to not wearing your pants/shirt/undies in public (indecent exposure), but no one complains about their lack of...

@Askarus masks are effective, that's why doctors wear them when doing surgery... consumer level masks aren't as good, but they are better than nothing. (as long as they don't have a vent.)

it may not hurt to chat remotely with a doctor on this sort of thing; they can ask questions to probe for other conditions.

does Brad know something we don't?? ED don't keep us in suspense! speak up and take our money!

@levi is Waldo some sort of terrible curse word in the UK??

people saying stuff != evidence...

i'm not sure what part of my post was an invitation to add more conspiracy theories... but just to be emphatic, there is no proof/evidence of widespread voter fraud. if there was, people would have litigated it already before judges. and if Democrats were doing it, they're doing a terrible...

there is a conspiracy hiding under every rock...

yeah, me too. voting for a wannabe dictator didn't make it into verse 3, but it was just barely cut:
