A better article is this one, with more information and a close photo.

Forget 2000. The one to watch is its sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

"All these worlds are yours except Europa. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE. ".

Then there's this rumor.

This is a typical example of the kind of advice you get from someone with a single focus or concern. For example, if your single concern was on minimizing traffic deaths, you would pass a law allowing no one to drive over 3 mph, and no one could effectively go anywhere. If your single concern was minimizing COVID deaths, you would lock down a nation and allow no one to go to work or school, causing a massive disruption in the supply of goods, the loss of 1-2 years of learning, an increase in deaths due to various causes due to forestalled screeninga and treatments, etc.

Mature people realize that there are multiple concerns, often contradictory, that must be balanced against one another.

I do not drink alcohol. Why should I have to endure the costs, inconvenience (every single time I drive), and maintenance of a system intended for those who do?

And what is next? A system that monitors a person's emotional state to prevent road rage?

Same here: Ferguson Big Board, hand-built from kit with analog power supply and two SA-800 8" dual-sided floppy drives. The keyboard was a surplus OEM keyboard for which I built a converter to translate its proprietary key codes into ASCII via an EPROM that I programmed myself. I programmed my own custom buffered printer spooling driver so that I could print pages in the background while still using the computer. :-)

I later added the Ferguson expansion I/O board and used it to add a home-built speech-synthesis board from the first phoneme generator chip.

It's ironic how California wants to "protect the children", but then wants to have children participate in highly sexualized drag shows, have them indoctrinated and sexualized through gender ideologies hidden from parents, and allowed to elect deeply serious and disfiguring medical sterializations without parental interference.

And with it being "a protocol" only, companies will just put up the computing resources to distribute, store, present and run, the Twitter feed and accounts, out of the goodness of their hearts, right?

You got it backwards.

the sound waves in their natural environment are a whopping 57 octaves below the note middle C

My original comment above: 12 dates recorded on the stone over 600 years (1417-2022); 600 years / 12 droughts = 50 years/drought (average). And an article that claims "worst in 500 years" without providing anything to substantiate that is going for the sensationalist angle rather that journalism and accuracy.

No one today can know if the present drought is worse in any objective way. We don't know how bad the drought in 1417 or 1616, etc. was compared with today. We have no consistent and comparable metrics from those time periods other than river water levels (which are roughly equal, having exposed these "hunger stones"). No one kept detailed rainfall records, etc. We only have mostly subjective historical descriptions from ages in which no one had fertilizers other than manure.

12 dates recorded on the stones over the past 600 years, yet, somehow, "the current drought Europe is experiencing could be the worst in 500 years"? Sounds more like a once-in-50-years drought.

Until one realizes the consequences: A bottle of pet shampoo brags, "Not tested on animals". Are you really wanting to use a product not tested?

Exceptionally rigorous controlled studies done around the world produced irrefutable evidence that the vaccines are safe and effective.

You would like to believe that, wouldn't you? If only that were true.

The trials for the Covid-19 vaccine were designed neither to prevent infection, nor to reduce hospitalizations or serious disease, nor were they tested on pregnant women or unhealthy people. In fact, if the vaccine were to increase one's likelihood of being infected, or to increase hospitalizations or death, the initial drug trials would have still succeeded.

Then there are the issues of fraud within the trials, Pfizer's attempts to hide data from the trials (another source), and recent government numbers from the UK showing that the vaccinated are dying at twice rate as the unvaccinated, and that serious injury due to the vaccine is far more common that previously admitted.
