  • Tl;dr

    But: Yes, we need more respectful dissent.

    There are so many people who no longer talk to people who think differently. I don't know whether it's cowardice or whether they've simply never learned to do so, or for whatever reason.

  • In a memoir, astronaut Michael Collins relates a story of a physician back in the Apollo era who recommended regular masturbation on long missions, lest astronauts develop prostate infections. The flight surgeon for Collins's moon mission "decided to ignore that advice,"

    The Apollo program received hundreds, if not thousands of warning advices from doctors. Most of them were rather ridiculous in hindsight.

    It was certainly not a big deal to ignore this one.

  • If it is at work, then as exactly as my Outlook displays that Calendar message. Everybody does that, and within less than 30 seconds all are there.

    If it is just among friends, then 3-5 minutes earlier, because the tech is somewhat different each time, and I do not want to make people wait for me.

  • go to Iran and be like pay up?

    I don't think that it works like a Hollywood comedy, where 1000 candidates pop up and each one claims "It was me, it was me!".

    A serious candidate would go there first, make friends, meet the right people. You would make sure that you know where to go afterwards etc. and you want that they know exactly who gets the bounty, before things happen.

  • The most funny one was a professional and rather costly password checking tool.

    Besides the usual other rules, it had a rule that the new pw must not be similar to the old one. For similarity, this thing checked each character in it's place.

    So you could have the old one:
    "MyAssMy$1" and the new one:
    "$1MyAssMy" and it was not similar at all :)

  • Directly, as you phrased the question: No.

    Indirectly: Yes. Because we would automatically stop burning fuels when we get all our energy from solar. That would decrease the temerature a tiny little bit.

    But the temerature of the planet does not really depend on such actions. For example, the indirect effects of CO2 and Ozone in the atmosphere have much more powerful impacts - and still they can only change the temperature at the planet's surface (that's what our lives depend on). The whole of the planet is yet another thing.
