"Every small business is a corporation."

That is a lie. Not every small business is an LLC, let alone a more structured corporation. For instance, the RV shop where I was underpaid and got a settlement against them for unpaid wages and retaliatory firing is a sole proprietorship.

Why do you tell so many obvious lies?

Gas vehicle tech has not quite plateaued, but the cost of improvements is quite high and protectionism has kept them viable until now even without making improvements we know how to make. EVs are improving more quickly than they credibly could at this point so there aren't really sufficient returns to make it worth it.

I mean, even compiling gentoo with the right use set is too hard for these bellyachers.

When I tried gentoo the first time, it worked. Last time I tried it, I used only innocuous USE flags and the build broke fairly early on, in stage2 of gcc IIRC. There's also no good reason to run it any more now that all PCs for ages have been amd64, it's not like the old days where we still had K6s.

Nothing like an app that implements a lockscreen to lock out a session with a password which can be bypassed by hitting ctrl + shift + backspace potentially dropping an evil-doer to a logged in console because X11/Xorg doesn't allow an app to trap keyboard inputs. #fixedbywayland.

Found the noob who can't find the DontZap option, which by the way is now the default.

Also found the noob who leaves himself logged into console sessions. They're the same noob!

No, not Antarctica, rather regions further away from the equator will become arable land even without it.

All credible projections for AGW show an overall reduction in arable land.

This is not just because it takes more than warming to make a cold place a good place to grow crops, but also because weather is becoming more chaotic, so you can't count on having a growing season anywhere... But especially at higher latitudes, where the lows will be lower.
