A lot of the suppositions are done with impossible to happen stuff, like the sun literally disappearing, or collapsing into a blackhole with no added mass (a sun mass blackhole would be stable, but I don't know how one could be created).
If it disappeared, then we'd still feel even gravity for those 8 mins, as the effect of gravity propagated at the speed of light. If it somehow magically became a black hole, we'd still orbit it the same even after 8 mins, but losing all the head would eventually kill us.
The expected explosion wouldn't be what makes the earth uninhabitable either. The sun increases in luminosity by ~1% every 100 million years, and it's estimated that between 700 million and 1.5 billion years the surface of the planet will be too hot for liquid water. An astronomer also says photosynthesis would be impossible in 500-600 million years.
Yes, and some animals (mostly birds iirc) do see UV. Boring brown/black birds aren't so boring in UV. I don't know the evolutionary pressure necessary for UV, but it could have developed. Red, for instance, is believed to have been useful for us to pick out berries. Wolves, being carnivorous, wouldn't necessarily need it, so see in yellow blue... or so I read as a theory a while ago.
Yeah, JWs (I'm ex) believe climate change is foretold in Rev 11:18, which says (dunno which version, just googled, but not the JW version as it uses ruining the Earth);
The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.
Italics mine. JW version is bring >"to ruin those ruining the Earth." Either way, they believe that means God will stop and destroy those bringing about climate change. Since it relies on God, it's another one that really doesn't help even if they believe in in, because they believe God will stop it before it's too late.
Studies generally take time, so if it were months later they likely had it before you. The years later is a maybe, but also possible because it takes time to get grants to do studies as well. Exceptions tend to be more urgent stuff like the pandemic, but even then we had SARS outbreaks decades ago and they've been studying it for a while, even if it wasn't specific SARS-COV-2.
Networking, we had a remote office in Europe (I'm in the US) and wanted to reset a phone. Phone was on port 10 of the Cisco switch, port 1 went to the firewall (not my design, already in place).
Helping my coworker, I tell her to shut port 10.
Shut port 1, enter.
Ok... office is offline and on another continent...
They're likely translated, not literal. Might be harder to find, and some may be up to interpretation. I'm certainly not up to date on everything going on with him, so I can't say.
Don't even know what it stands for. I don't recall feeling a strong specific vibe from .ee people. By vibe I mean, I see a lot of people from that instance giving a vibe. Explaining it is complicated, so I won't try, but based on some instances I feel there is a general feeling of how users may feel about certain topics, but .ee isn't one I have any baseline for.
(Standard I listen to Knowledge Fight, not Alex Jones directly disclaimer.) I've heard extended rants from Alex Jones about the state parks he goes to. During covid he was whining on and on about limitations there, and on another occasion complained about not being able to drink openly there. When he wasn't whining about it, he was waxing fondly of how much he enjoys it. So yeah, a lot of monsters still like public parks and nature(sometimes just killing it, since he talks about hunting a lot too.)
Yeah, this feels like straight and narrow by an old man using old slang. Not that I doubt Trump being a raging homophobe, it's just the other context clues in the sentence.
I don't know the episode, but unless that's some extremely official time piece controlled by the government or something, it could just be someone like me. I live in the US, and several of the temp gauges in the house are celcius, including the one I keep at my desk and my in room A/C (set at 25 atm).
I also used to keep my car on km/h instead of mph just for fun and confusing anyone who rode with me why I was going 80 on local roads or 130 on the highway.
As someone living in GA and previously lived in Florida and also being parked skinned, the assumptions of the south are indeed not always correct... but enough stuff is happening in these places that I gotta say it's much lower in my list of priorities. Let's get some of this nasty stuff gone before getting upset about stereotypes. I do think I agree with your statement of the name though.
