No

Totally get this in concept, but I’d be paying more in late fees without autopay

Bingo

The first step towards privatizing an industry is eroding public confidence in the existing program. They have absolutely no intention of improving the program, they just want to make it shitty enough that people stop believing in it. Once that happens, 45 will start shilling, and some lucky company will swoop in and take it over.

Which is exactly why when Einstein got the Nobel Prize when he discovered the photoelectric! Kind of a big deal when basically everything before that was turbine driven, as you mention.

Well that’s awesome

Lol, well I’m guessing they’re just taking the weight, dividing it by grams (or whatever amount its usually sold to individuals in), and multiplying that by it’s “dose value”. So, for easy math, if 1g of coke goes for $100, and cops bust someone with a kilo (1000g), it becomes a million dollar bust when nobody would ever actually pay that much.

Well, the map is titled, “Culinary Map of Europe” :D

I think I need to politely disagree with you on this point.

If co2 emissions were slowing at a meaningful rate, we should be able to see the upward trajectory start leveling off. What we DO see is almost no change in the trajectory of the chart, indicating that current carbon emitters haven’t cut back enough to matter, if at all.

I’m not suggesting that no changes on that line means no “progress”, but one could argue that its not meaningful progress if we aren’t seeing any changes in that trend.

Ooooooh, thanks for filling me in! :D

Lolwut?

So… you accept a free, private jet ride, step off the plane, then bitch about your friend? The self righteous tone of your post was already giving me the “ick”, but to find out you took the ride anyway just shows you’re more interested in looking like someone who gives a shit, then someone who actually does…

I asked to clarify, because that’s verifiably incorrect.

Better than what?

Because developing a replacement for bees is certainly a better solution then saving the bees…
