Spot on. I'm on a SNES binge, and once my new C64 comes in (apparently next month), I'm sure I'll be able to spend all my free time reliving my childhood from the 80's and 90's. I think the most modern game I actually enjoyed on the xbox was Peggle.

Indeed. Unfortunately the outer layer (glass) exploded, the middle layer (polymer) flexed so much that it shattered the inner layer (glass), and shards of it flew onto the pilot. Cutting his arm and covering the controls in sharp shards of glass. So yes it could have been way worse, but also, it shouldn't have been as bad as it ended up being. A 1 kilogram mass at cruising speed should be tolerated by the windshield without breaking the inner layer and causing injury.

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.

After my first job, no one has ever asked about my degree. They ask me about my work.

We have a society where everyone wants to be right; we need a society where everyone wants to be correct.

and plenty that don't.

I think you will find that's a non issue. Since is solvable.

I"m in a union, and I am a white collar employees. COMputer programmer and data analysis. Our organization also has a union for business analyst.
There have been teacher unions for decades.

A union is jsut a group of people with a contract around working right, policy, and wages. Can be any group.

There is no "liberal indoctrination", it jsut appears that way because conservative consider anything counter to their myopic view liberal.

In order to have a meritocracy, all people must have the same start. SOme oney, same education opportunities.
Of course, there is no real definition to meritocracy either.

Remember, the term 'meritocracy' was created as a pejoratively.

IT also relies on whos merit? Bezos is a billionaire, but it was from him, it was his workers. Should the people who created his site, the engineers the built it for him have the real merit?

Some people hear a word and then jsut assume it's good without actually reading up, and that needs to stop.

" Fewer people die of heat than die of cold. "
More people will die from the heat. See: dew Point.

"Longer growing season."
lol, excessive heat is bad for crops. And some areas of the earth are already losing farming capacity, not higher yields. major commodity crops like corn, rice, and oats are starting to experience reduced yields due to heat stress and changes in water availability.

" Bring on the CO2."
We produce more CO2 then the plants can handle. BTW, too much CO2 is bad for plants. Just like to much O2 is bad for people.

"We can handle the heat. We will be fine."
Why can't you people grasp the simple fact that as we keep producing more greenhouse gasses, the heat will keep going up? WHy are you so ignorant you think civilization can stand that level of heat growth?

You don't understand what accuracy mean from a science standpoint. But keep smugly posting ignorant post, since that seems the only way you can pretend you have any meaning and matter.

MSN is fine, and they are reporting what is happening, not an authority on the technology nor to they preport to be.

You literally have no idea how journalism works or what news is.

Corporations are doing it to power AI.
Nuclear is alway used to attack green energy.

I love that you have such faith in corporations dealing with nuclear waste, in spite of decades of improper stores and illegal waste dumping.
What CEO would cut corners that can lead to catastrophe a decade from now for a bonus today, amirite?

Carbon taxes have history of working, actually.
