How can this be seen as a victory?
The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.
If they leave them there, the next administration might be able to switch them back on and start gathering woke climate science data again.
Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.
Literally hundreds of scientific papers have been published using data from the OOI
Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.
What? I have one. It's hooked up (through an adapter) to the VoIP port on my fiber router. It rings and everything.
Grogu is already 50 years old so that might explain his powers.
Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?
I just got one, but I am in Europe and our economy is not systematically being destroyed.
How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?
I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.
Hmmm
It's still 0% Zig so that's not great.
Minimal justice, if we want to split hairs.
This kind of thing comes from American Puritanism on the internet.
Well, the last piece of that sentence is the key part. I, and most everyone I know, have no problem using English language words. It seems to me that the only reason to censor yourself with weird, invented terms is because you want to be able to monetize your content on YouTube.

If Ebola catches on and goes viral globally it will be a very serious problem.
Fortunately, that's highly unlikely. There has never been a confirmed case of airborne transmission between humans. Most transmission is due to insufficient and unsanitary health care facilities, due to lack of funds.
Before I got the vax I signed a paper noting that it had a 93% percent Covid prevention rate in clinical trials.
I had already received three Pfizer shots when I came down with the virus (confirmed, with a test that came up positive in less than a minute). However, I am absolutely convinced that the severity of my case was so minimal (sleeping under a blanket on the couch in my clothes for 3-4 days) because of the enhanced response of my immune system, due to the vaccine.
Correct. It's like a governor declaring a state of emergency
AI, huh? And here I thought the, uh, government might seize the opportunity to declare these companies illegal gambling that's rife with insider trading and other criminality, and shut them down.
The problem is always the relative ease of modern travel. This outbreak would be a regional issue if there were no jet planes.
So far, the outbreak is reasonably confined. But it might not stay that way. Raising that alarm is one of the key functions of the WHO.
