Guess they got tired of looking at Hunter Biden's dick. https://people.com/marjorie-ta...

The year of the Linux Desktop is finally happening... in Russia. :)

Maybe they should try looking for the deleted messages on Hunter's laptop?

Still living rent free in republican heads.

The reality is that users do not care. They may know better but unless it's their own bank account... It could be an unwanted required hurdle in their way making them irritated as well.

I've studied actually a TB of leaked passwords trying to find something interesting or revealing and all I found is that some obviously unimportant sites had a high number of poor passwords... and that people will just "upgrade" their bad passwords to make them "better." adding 1 or ! for example. Many use a year which may or may not mean something. What I'd have liked is the hints to look for bad behaviors on those-- which likely are quite bad...

What we've always needed is a good keychain system and automatic password generation. We still do not have this; instead we do this annoying two factor mess that only reduced problems for google by 50% -- it's far from a solution with that failure rate. Meanwhile I use the lame keychain tools to get better security without requiring my phone have SMS service / internet. Have you been without your phone while trying to two factor? idiotic. My YubiKey is on my keyring but nothing still uses it...

Oh and so many use their phone for everything so you're just verifying their phone which a cookie could do about as well... stolen phone unlocked? well they've got your email, auth app, SMS, texts, and saved password... maybe even a fingerprint or a photo selfie maybe a 3D selfie photo (iPhone 15) too, all in 1 place.

Do you think everyone is charging their vehicles from flat to 80% on a nightly basis?

But rest your fears about EVs sucking up all the electricity as Donald Trump has pledged to stop all EV sales. https://www.yahoo.com/news/don...

I bet that makes his pal Elmo real happy.

You seem to be unable to distinguish between understanding the science, and advocating a course of action.

What the science says is that greenhouse gasses contribute to global warming and thus to climate change, and we see this effect in measured data. Whether the Earth is "in fact better off" is a value judgement, not a question of science.

Which is what I had just stated:
a question of what we choose to DO about warming (if we choose to do anything), is completely unrelated to the accuracy of the science.

Yep, that's the "I'm just asking questions" approach.

We have terabytes of hard observational data. It's hard to emphasize just how much data you will have to fit if you're going to try to come up with some alternate hypothesis for warming.

Exactly. Always good to fill in gaps. More data is always apprciated.

Just don't say "we lack hard observational data". We have a lot of hard observational data.

1) I think you are confusing the idea that prestigious schools can cost a lot money sometimes with the reality that is not always true in every case. 2) Again do you know what merit is? You are absolutely sure than she did not receive a scholarship, fellowship, etc. 3) You do know that things like student loans exist, right?

Some of my TAs at university were international students. None of them came from money. They got scholarships; they got grants.

And what does your unhinged rant based on speculation on top of your perception have to do with any of this?

Citation needed.

Sure. She has multiple degrees from multiple universities. To you it must be because she's a nepo-baby. Even if Mark Toner is her father that does not mean that her family wealth paid for any of her education.

Plenty of other non plastic substances. Natural rubber, silicone, etc etc.

My favorite part was when Reagan did away with open carry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Same exact story with leaded gasoline. People were being poisoned at the manufacturing plants and the company paid scientists to claim it was safe.

Yeah that's not even remotely as easy as you think. The very device you're reading this post on cannot be made without PFAS. They are a big class of chemicals used for everything from non-stick cookware to advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This isn't like asbestos which can be trivially changed for an alternate material.

I'm reminded of one recent case of regulation in firefighting foam. We stopped using firefighting foam containing PFAS a while back, end result,... we can no longer put out ethanol pool fires because the "alternative" breaks down the foam and prevents smothering fires.

So yeah, we should stop using them, all you need to do is provide a suitable alternative, and while I can do without a teflon frying pan, I think you'll find the likes of TSMC will still need a steady supply of PFAS unless you want to give up on your consumer electronics too.
