Redesigned blades basically eliminate the spikey annoying sounds for a low level continuous one that's barely audible.

It's fair to worry that the cheap hobby drones you hear most often represent the commercial tech, but it's also a solvable problem. We should push for regulations to *require* such things to minimize the effects.

Considering you just 180'd your own statement, I'll suggest your opinions on the matter aren't exactly worth considering.

Good day

It was not 'considerably warmer' 10000 years ago. Almost constant +/- 1 C since then till industrialization.

Wet bulb temps are already killing people at little more than 100 degrees.

Eevee's article from April 2012 was about PHP 5.3, not PHP 8. PHP versions 5.4, 5.6, and 7 came out soon afterward, fixing a lot of the flaws she pointed out. A retrospective eight years later showed how much the language had progressed on the road to 8.

"a few months"? I remember a decade ago when Hop took literally a year to go from theaters to DVD sell-through, and then another month after that to get to Redbox.

Until the grandmother asks you "Now how do I put my CDs on my iPhone? Under Windows, I put the CD in the drive and started iTunes."

I don't know what specific software Quasar1999 was running. In my own case, the proprietary Windows-only program is iTunes for loading MP3s onto my roommate's iPhone SE 3. In the case of other people I regularly talk to online, the proprietary Windows-only program is VRChat.

Say my roommate wants me to load MP3s onto her iPhone. I haven't figured out how to do that other than through iTunes for Windows, which does not run in Wine, or Finder for macOS. Am I "deliberately obtuse" or "stupid"?

Yep did miss that. Though I do tend to not prefer additional natural environment contamination so I wouldn't call that exactly a good solution.

Which handheld computer with a cellular radio that respects users' freedom is compatible with U.S. mobile networks? Last I checked, things like the Fairphone were made for the European market, with no attempt to get onto Verizon's or AT&T's allowlist.

Because it costs trillions of dollars to retrofit a city? Vs planning ahead. Miami isn't even subsiding and it's in deep shi, I mean water.

Ounce of prevention vs pound of cure etal.

Desalination has serious drawbacks. If you chuck the resulting brine back into the ocean you create a massive dead zone. And rather than create yet more waste with nuclear, just use solar/wind since created fresh water can be easily stored - the intermittent nature of renewables isn't an issue.

Another factor is an after effect of the ice age ending. All the weight pushed down the northern parts of N American continent. It's still spring back, causing rise in the north...and lowering in the south as the plate tips back

And we should definitely cut canals into the mangroves to facilitate oil rigs ;-) That was a definite positive decision lol

Except that's not what that is - in fact it's basically the opposite.

Cities build layers as the constructions degrade/erode and new stuff is built on top of that. There may or may not be sinking going on, but cities are generally rising on top of previous settlements. linky
