It's obvious the jetski is by far more useful. But if it's a speed test, this doesn't seem fair. 1) They made the drone operator run from the watch tower 100ft to waterline. 2) The jetski was sitting there 8ft from water, 3) with a 4-wheeler 4) and a driver waiting to help him launch.
Godwin's new corollary says if people are comparing you to Martin Shkreli, you're a horrible person and should reverse what you've done.
Google should downlist American media too, because they also "inject themselves into US politics". In fact, even some private citizens have been caught expressing opinions on politics, and attempting to sway the votes of their friends and neighbors. Google needs to put a stop to that. We can't just have people going around saying whatever they want. Thank God that we have the corporate elite to protect us and tell us what to think.
Ya! And Russia is best at curtailing freedom of speech (well, technically in top 20%), so Google should actually increase the rank of their state-sponsored views!

furthermore. methane is unstable and oxidizes itself in the atmosphere (apart from being processed by certain bacteria) fo much less "greengouse-toxic" gases, if i remember correctly halflife expectation is below 10 years. So it is continuously is removed from atmosphere (unlike CO2 accumulation) and CO2 seems by far much bigger problem
Not saying you're wrong, but another way of looking at the same data is that this is a low-hanging fruit we can make a difference in immediately. If this is an issue of just cutting down on beef, I'd say there's more upside than consequences. I reduced my beef intake by around 90%. I've benefitted by slightly better health and a slightly fatter wallet, which is usually the end of a decision if we're being honest. I'm not saying I don't absolutely love eating beef, but chicken and fish taste good too, and I slowly eat a little more legumes every year. It's fun to try new stuff, and it hasn't affected my weight-lifting. The only negative affect I've had is I get judged by people living in the movie Idiocracy (yes, I live in Texas).
We should tackle the worst offenders first. A global shift to zero emission transportation would be a game changer.
Except, of course, that transportation isn't "the worst offender"; globally it's about 14% of total GHG emissions, and only a fraction of that can reasonably be switched to "zero emission". The "worst offenders" are industry, heating, electricity, and agriculture.
True, (but or and,) guess what contributes to that agriculture section? Cattle have to eat, and they eat a lot, compared to to all our other protein sources. They contribute double all the other animals combined.

So, besides just the farts (aka eructation), here's some sources of greenhouse gasses produced through the creation of food used to feed livestock:
Feed production:
Direct and indirect N2O from:
Application of synthetic N
Application of manure
Direct deposition of manure by grazing and scavenging animals
Crop residue management
Non-feed production:
Energy use in field operations
Energy use in feed transport and processing
Fertilizer manufacture
Feed blending
Production of non-crop feedstuff (fishmeal, lime and synthetic amino acids)
CH4 from flooded rice cultivation
Land-use change related to soybean cultivation
This doesn't make sense to me either. Under WTO rules, retaliation is permitted against dumping and subsidies. But there is no retaliation permitted just for low prices.
Uh yeah, where do you think those low prices come from? The Chinese government provides subsidies to disruptive industries...
True, A link to back this up:

An interesting article about floating panels, plus a comparison of US vs China investments:
https://www.weforum.org/agenda...
I initially disliked the tariffs, fearing trade war and escalation of prices - I'd rather us start investing as much as China and beat them at their own low-price game. But after reading the WTO Anti-dumping and subsidy rules, I think this isn't supposed to start a trade war - it's the legal and appropriate reaction to China subsidies (and dumping I guess). I'd still like to increase US government investments in research and subsidies anyway.
My suspicion is they're benign and that this is a well-known phenomena, or rare, but it upsets people concerned about the idea of "un-natural" or "synthetic" things making their way in their food source.
Actually it seems this has been an area of study for a few years now:

Microplastics affect different aspects of the environment. They can affect fish, birds and other wildlife who may ingest the plastics, causing internal blockage, dehydration and death in these species.
Microplastics can also transport other pollutants. They absorb pollutants already in the water, such as DDT, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). When ingested by wildlife or humans (either directly or indirectly), these plastics contain high concentrations of these dangerous toxins which can become even more concentrated and dangerous as they bioaccumulate in the food chain.

I guess microplastic fibers are different than microplastic beads, and maybe definitive, specific studies haven't been published yet. But, logic would say they probably have the same ill effects. I do agree I'd wait for the studies before passing laws. But nothing wrong with have a product ready to solve the problem.
Serious question.. How? What about small plastic fibers is a problem as they go though my digestive tract?

Some consequences of micro plastic ingestion that have been found in fish include reduced reproductive ability,
decreased feeding ability, abnormal behavior and death.25
The primary point of anti-trust laws is not to break up companies, but seek remedies against companies when they violate the laws....
Well, that's one way to describe anti-trust law goals. A better one would be "to promote fair competition for the benefit of consumers." I hope everyone will admit that these mega-corps could really benefit from more competition.
it is still collusion with a foreign power and treason to a high degree.
Are we at war with Russia? Or are they our ally? How is diplomacy with a foreign state we are not at war with treasonous?
This is beyond diplomacy, you do not have to be at war with a country.
A federal law, Section 30121 of Title 52, makes it a crime for any foreigner to contribute or donate money or some “other thing of value” in connection with an American election, or for anyone to solicit a foreigner to do so. Previous court cases concerning similar related laws have held, that a “thing of value” can be something intangible, like information.
That's because TFA discusses the written FCC comments. But the battleforthenet link might arguably be more effective.

For whatever reason, Microsoft was just never able to get mobile right.
Totally agree - I'm floored by all the comments claiming MS was late. But I believe what they missed was apps. I agree with the other fond memories of WM mentioned. I remember, despite seriously hating MS, I thought in 2006, "Wow, they got this WM 5.x pretty right, this is the wave of the future. It's just a pain to install software. They need something like apt-get." How many years did MS sit on it's butt before Apple came out with a technically inferior phone, with the exception of the app store?
