Cause there's billions of people who claim to be his followers, and climate change is the biggest issue humanity has ever faced.

Having the leader of one of the largest religions pushing for ecological improvements is a good thing.

I'm not the researcher, so it could just be that this was the most convenient option for their lab. Or it could be that injection molding creates too dense of an object to have the right texture.

Unclear based on this article, but my best guess would be that the portability of a resin based printer and the detail that it allows for is a good compromise for on-site food printing.

These psychopaths want him as close to the top of the line of successions as possible.

It's combining two technologies. One for vat grown nutritional plant cells, and one for turning that vat grown cell into palatable shapes and textures.

It's an interesting tech and the more of these we try out, the more likely we'll find something that succeeds.

Good luck, there's a reason that conservatism is inundated with hate.

It might be a lot easier to re-evaluate your own moral compass and realize that maybe if everyone you want to hang out with is full of hate, you need to find a new crowd.

I'm going to go against the norm here. It's probably better to have them plugged in sometimes, if not always. Old capacitors can dry out and become brittle, which can destroy a mainboard when they surge and pop.

Nothing you do will be 100% guaranteed to keep electronics alive forever, because components wear out. Each console will have specific components with specific failure types that means that some are better having always power, some are better with sometimes power, and some are better with zero power. But my gut says that older consoles plugged into a quality UPS will probably last longer than a console sitting in a box unpowered.

This is just one type of failure mode, but there are many other things that can cause damage. Power surges, transformer enamel wearing out, resistors cracking, thermal cycling of solder, thermal paste drying out, permanent CMOS batteries dying.... etc. etc. etc.

And HTTPS relies on hosts managing SSL certificates. Web services don't use them until it hits a critical mass, then it becomes weird and broken when you aren't using it.

This just needs some time to settle in.

It would encourage things like renter owned co-ops, and discourage things like LLCs owning a shitload of apartments.

Not only does is it rear wheel drive only, but it also has about 10% less range than the AWD option. There's a reason it's significantly cheaper.

It's a not for profit, so they don't need to rake in dough, just need to keep functioning, which isn't a ton of cash for a messaging service. Wikipedia does just fine with donations, and they serve far more people.

I donate every month, and I bet there's enough that do to keep running like they are.

Take me hoooooome.

Is there a hole in that nub? It looks like it's trying to do the walls around the hole in the nub.

Get rid of the debt ceiling and move those debates to where they belong, in the budget.

It makes more sense if you look at the United States as a group of individual entities with a Federal level that helps coordinate between them. It's more like the EU, and less like individual provinces.

Each state decides how to send its electors to vote for the president. Most of the states decided to send them as a winner take all batch of votes, but some decided to allow split votes.

It's not a perfect system by far, but it makes sense in the context of what it is.

My gut reaction says the same thing. Often taking a heavy handed approach and completely knocking out a disease before it can take a foothold would prevent it from being able to mutate a resistance.

It could be (which would need to be backed up by proper studies and science, which hopefully this decision is based on) that early usage of doxycycline would be better than the alternative, which is letting the disease take hold, then trying to eliminate it after the fact.

I assume, like the morning after pill, this would be intended to be used in rare cases of unintended infection, and not as a common prophylactic. Such as in SA, or one off broken condom situations, or when someone is discovered to have an STD shortly after sexual contact.

This started long before Obama, and was way more serious in the case of Nixon.

You can say that Obama perpetuated a long standing tradition, but he certainly didn't start the precedent.

Did the international community come asking for Bush or Cheney? Why would the United States preemptively send anyone to an international court that didn't ask to be involved?

Keep moving those goalposts.

The president is in charge of managing the country, but he is beholden to the legislative and judicial branches. The president can't unilaterally do much.

How does the prime minister get elected in most countries? It's typically because the population elects a representative body, and that body elects a PM. Most countries do not directly elect a PM.

How do laws get passed in most countries. You elect a legislative branch and that legislative branch votes on laws.

The vast majority of even the most democratic countries do not directly vote on much, because nobody wants that.

It's literally how the constitution is changed. You make an amendment that changes the constitution. If you wanted to change the whole thing in a single amendment, you can do just that.

If you wanted to start from scratch and do the whole constitution over, you'd have the exact same set of steps to do that, unless it was done with an armed overthrow of the government. Then what you would have is a small group of people who ran that revolution would write a new constitution. And that would be unlikely to be any better than what is currently there.

How exactly do you think we would get a new constitution otherwise?

Not really answering your question, but have you considered painting the parts that are printed?

$225 is a ton, but you could always buy a single roll of $20 and a hobby acrylic painting kit.

9 cans of spray paint is also an option, you'd probably be upwards of $100 for that, but you're still half the cost of filament.
