The thing to understand
There's nothing to understand. Just two fellows comparing their local climate. It's essentially meaningless.
That's the thinking of people who point out that the weather outside their doors is unusually cool despite global warming.
There's no way to know that's what the poster meant without asking him yourself.
When you consider six tenths of a degree increase across the roughly 10^18 kg of the troposphere, that is as vast, almost unthinkable amount of energy increase.
Yes, the Earth receives a lot of solar radiation. It's almost like we don't need to drill for oil and gas quite so much if we could just put some turbines and panel up. But that makes the wrong people rich, so that's bad from someone's point of view. Changing the political power in controlling energy in a few central places is pretty dangerous. Imagine if everyone had some solar panels and could sell a little bit of excess electricity or skip buying electricity from the grid on most days. Someone rich and powerful would cease being quite so rich.
P.S. my subject line got cut off because I kept revising it to fit then forgot to finish it (my idea was never going to fit)
Take advantage of the law by owning a bus conversion. Our bus weighs ten tons empty.
Alas, California is requiring us to smog the fucking things now, we have to do the same tests as commercial trucks, not just as often. Our rig passes easily, but it costs money and requires a trip halfway across a large county. In fact, since we hardly ever go anywhere, it significantly increases our emissions...
Must be nice to be over there in Russia and not have to worry about the American economy collapsing.
You're an idiot. I'm in Seattle, and US GDP has currently collapsed by -1.6%, which is to say it fucking increased, you fucking imbecile.
The downside is you've got our religious lunatics whipped up into a frenzy and we are about to hand them the launch codes.
You think.... Russians.... have got the evangelicals whipped up into a tizzy? Christ, you're so fucking un-self-aware, I think you might be an LLM.
You're going to find out real soon whether or not you're a nukes work. Honestly I don't know if ours do either but it doesn't matter because we have more than enough conventional bombs to turn the whole of Russia into a parking lot
Step 1 when accusing someone of being a Russian, is to not fuck up the English language in a way they'll be able to point out.
You see, I are not a nukes.
As for whether or not US nukes work? Of course they do. What kind of fucknut thinks they don't?
Russian ones- now I'll grant you, companies and people may have been stealing the U and Pl from those warheads for the last 40 years, so they may flat out be duds, lol.
Seriously, you're a fucking QAnon-level nutter, dude. Seek fucking help.
The tests I care about other than reliability and straight streaming read or write speed are random read/write which some cards do much better than others — I expected this for writes, but not for reads! — and how long a device can sit around unused and retain data.
TFA notes that there are application performance class ratings, but they are very particular and what I really want to know is what happens with lots of small files.
The purpose of the theater is participation in group reactions. If that's not interesting to you, by all means stay home. I enjoy it, but it's not worth the down sides of doing that with modern moviegoers, so I stay home and watch a big TV at home and eat popcorn with real butter, and pause when I want to take a piss. I have 4k and DTS at home, thanks.
Your 3-4 month wait has a significant impact on screen size, sound, and visual quality.
Screen size: True, although these days an 80" screen that you can reasonably sit close enough to in order to have a similar experience is not very expensive.
Sound: You mean I don't have to get my fucking head blown off by overdriven audio? OK.
Visual quality: The 80" 4k TV has just as many dots as the theater does, and a better contrast ratio.
Get some friends together to make the purchase and watch movies together, it will get to be cheaper than going to the theater real quick. You can buy 4k Blu-Rays instead of tickets.
For something like that Trump might not be allowed to pick anybody but powell.
Fuck- you're the liberal version of QAnon.
Oh and as for the bond market you are a blooming moron.
Just a realist who's been around for a long time, can look at graphs and gauge the current level of dysfunction.
The problem isn't borrowing money even as tax cuts. The problem is we borrowed $20 trillion dollars and handed it to the top 1%.
That fundamentally breaks our economy and the bond market knows it. They're going to start selling their bonds and that's going to tank the value of the dollar.
As with every claim you make, all it takes to prove you wrong is a little bit of time, Chicken Little.
I have it on good authority from you that our bond market should have already collapsed. Yet, strangely, it still hasn't even hit a historical (contemporarily speaking) level of fuckery, much less a truly historical level.
Bock bock, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
You're such a fucking loser, lol
