Absurd. My wife and I quote this all the time.

1. Lots of wars and refugee crises.
2. Almost certainly unilateral moves by middle-sized nations seeing existential crises to inject albedo-altering aerosols into the stratosphere.
3. Depending on the timing of things in the next few decades we may be in an ice age very quickly from ice cap melt acceleration cooling the ocean. In an ice age the amount of arable land would dramatically decrease and if there is a harvest season at all it will be very short. Nearly everyone would starve.

You're posting on the fediverse. You're already on all the lists.

The UN Chief resigning as a result would be a show of power. Calling for it and not getting is a show of weakness.

No, it's RICO.

Dropping someone into the sun and ejecting someone from the solar system both take a lot of energy compared to an orbital transfer to a planet with a similar orbital altitude.

Youtube premium is less evil than ABP v0v

You wouldn't want high school boys running around with enlarged dictions.

I am not allowed to change my wallpaper.

They're literally on the payroll. It's a pyramid scheme.

The White House probably isn't doing much illegal SIGINT dragnetting of US citizens, but I bet the Pentagon, NSA HQ, and the Hill all do.

Honestly I'm on team insurance in these cases. The US is filthy rich and we have tons of highly habitable land. Why are we wasting resources subsidizing some people choosing to live in comfortable, risky locations?

For those stuck in poverty: that does suck but I consider that an independent issue.

Jon Oliver is very careful to segregate jokes for levity from sensitive topics. Jon on the Problem would regularly never make a tonal or topical shift when putting in a joke, which really made it feel like a desparate, uncomfortable interjection during a serious rant rather than a lighthearted reminder that we're still on Earth while discussing a travesty.

And business daddy appreciates that it's good business. As soon as you threaten business daddy's business interest it's game over. Luckily HBO's motives are more aligned with journalism than Apple's. Apple is literally the Orwellian nightmare they mocked in ads 40 years ago.

If ebay took this to court there's a good chance they'd win. The overturning of the Chevron deference means any action by the EPA or enforcement of its rules is on shaky footing.

It depends on what you mean by "work out". If the goal is to stop conflict by eradicating a culture, that's worked many times.

Everyone here claiming to have the answer are identifying things that aren't true in other places in the world that have the same problem: right wing extremist populism.

Speed of light in glass is 33% slower than in free space.

Regardless, in most scenarios that people notice latency it's from sitting in router buffers, slow CPUs, bad software, and slow last mile. All of those things are fixable, so tricks to lower the fundamental latency floor, like laser beams in space, is pretty neat.
