I remember stories on slashdot in 2004 on how we had already passed the tipping point and global warming (then, this was before "global climate change") was unavoidable.

20 years later, that we are in a cycle where the natural carbon emissions from events associated with climate change exceed the total carbon output of mankind, is not surprising.

This is why adaptation is necessary.

A 512 MB module cost $100-$200 in 2006. Sold in an $1000 machine. 10% of the cost.

And now a macbook air costs order of magnitude the same, but the RAM they're putting in it.... $10-20 (1-2% of the cost).

I wonder if that difference in cost is going to some other part of the machine or into margins?

(I know Apple don't pay retail prices for their RAM, which is what I quoted here, the actual percentage of cost will be lower)

You want me to do busywork so Apple doesn't have to pay an extra $10 for memory on a thousand dollar machine?

I've had to give up on multiple states and go to credit unions, but at least Chase hasn't been caught inventing customers to pretend to have larger portfolios.

It's a TikTok trend. Like everything on TikTok, it's either Chinese Cyberwarfare agents or lying Activists. The fact that this was spread mainly in the African American Community, tells me a little of both.

Wells Fargo, well, that was your first mistake.

No need to borrow money to be a victim of usury these days. Even your checking and savings accounts have all sorts of fees attached.

Which is why I'm wondering why a lawsuit is necessary. Could just add a $1000 bounced check fee and end the problem entirely.

Fixing the housing costs won't fix 75 years worth of advertising to women from age 6 that abortion is safer than pregnancy.

Property owning white men at the time were among the least competent. They were why 9 out of 10 indentured servants from Ireland *died* before they could achieve the terms of their contract.

The *singular* point for moving away from a monarchy is the incompetency of the aristocracy, but Orwell's Law is alive and strong. Any given revolution against a tyranny, will recreate the worst properties of that tyranny.

The US Constitution was specifically designed to elect people of the lowest common denominator, in every role, including President. That's why government is always incompetent.

Humans in a perfectly insulated space, make pretty good space heaters. They're always set to 98.6F

or, gasp, green roofs. Creating natural air conditioning by living in a forest.

He's not saying no air conditioning. He's saying use designs of houses that have natural air conditioning.

Isn't it interesting that EVs have gone from a 1% market share to a nearly 15% market share- and yet carbon levels are still rising? Almost as if blaming cars for the problem isn't significant.
