I bet they're foreshadowing a large ban wave. Big scoop probably happening in the background. That's how "it's live" will be announced.
Fuck it. I'm inventing a new scale.
Behold! "Disagree Degrees". We're going to combine the best traits of the other units. No more searching for the stupid little degree character in the character map. D for degrees or disagrees - whatever, I don't give a shit.
0D = 0K (Like Kelvin, no negatives! That's so dumb!) 0.4D = -40 C and -40 F 1D = Water Freezing point (Need a consistent point of scale) 10D = "Pleasant temperature" 100D = Kind of hot 500D = Really hot for people (>40C or >100F) "It's like 500 disagrees out there!" 1000D= Water boiling (To match the freezing temp) 1,000,000,000,000D = Surface of the sun
Good luck on the math converting to other units, this temperature scale isn't about being useful for nerd stuff, it's all about appealing to our emotions.
Oh, way to move the goal posts!
Basically - fuck this person, right?
Yeah, I can imagine the locals would tell the younglings "don't play near the Sarlaac Pit! It'll eat you for a thousand years!"
Well we know Tatooine orbits a pair of stars somehow and it's still in the Goldilocks zone just enough to make it semi habitable still. My assumption is that these are white dwarfs or something smallish.
Could this be explained that the local year is much shorter? Add in that Hutt is well versed in his own biology which assuming a he isn't strangled by a tentacle, could be slowly digested alive for a 1000 Tatooine years? He probably forgets that about his pathetic cute biped pets.
No seriously what is significant about 0F? I live in a place that sees a lot of negative F too.
It's so arbitrary. If it was 0 at freezing water and 100 at human body temp I'd understand it but no, it's literally nothing significant in people's lives. It has no tangible anchor.
It's purely emotion keeping it around.
The meme faces are backwards on this one.
It's depressing that this will likely be true in 2064.
LED lighting. Usually can adjust to whatever color lighting you like. Pure aesthetic value, no actual benefit to the performance of the machine itself.
Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via "free product" followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.
IMO, another good reason to not use Google!
Flanders as depressed anime. Or maybe it's his internal monologue because you just know that he's faking that smile.
No beehive, not Marge. It's like, her one defining feature, how do you fuck that up? Give this back to Facebook and tell them to try better next time.
I remember as kids, at some point my brother was just grabbing one of these before we went to school instead of making a lunch. It was a few years later by the time we were adults and I remarked how it must have been weird going into the teacher lounge to find a kettle or microwave or whatever when I learned, no, he'd open the bag and snack on it like a bag of chips.
Not a fan of this article. Typical armchair-conservationist whining about the number last year provides zero context of what happened - this article reads as of it was written by someone in the otherside of the world with that stat as the lone figure to base assumptions on.
"Securing garbage and fruit trees" is written as the boogeyman but the underlying problem was a lack of food in the wild for them. "Urban expansion" is not the cause here - hell a couple of the communities on this list including one I live in have had negative growth.
Wild huckleberry production is probably the single largest indicator to how many bears move into communities and last year they were devastated by the drought. Between this and the pressure from yet another insane wildfire season, bears were driven into human contact, and yes, bad human habits made this a problem from there.
I guess my point is that they weren't simply lured in, as this shoddy journalism suggests. This is yet another consequence of climate change. This will only get worse.
Another point of contention - COs were woefully understaffed and under resourced. Trapping and relocating animals just wasn't an option when you have one trap per town at best. Often RCMP were dealing with bears and I bet you can guess which tools they have at their disposal.
My field recon suggests this year to be better for wild berries in my area maybe, but I'll wait and see. I hope some good studies can surface over this whole ordeal and we can work out better solutions before this gets out of hand next time.
Okay, reasonable enough, I had read your response as "no solar, just homes and put the solar in rural".
How so? A) Less transmission lines to where it's needed and b) more qualified/trained staff centralized to the solar installs.
I'm not against rural solar by any stretch but I can't fathom being against urban solar? We need to solar all the things.
