I never opposed anything so a pretty feeble attempt at a straw man but then that tends to be the level of your arguments. Weening societies off hydrocarbons is underway but will take decades as infrastructure takes time and money to build but don't let facts get in the way of your sanctamonious rant. I presume you cycle everywhere, don't own a car, never fly and your home is entirely solar and wind powered? No? Then STFU because you're just as much part of the problem as everyone else.

Feel free to have the last word so you can dig your hole even deeper and run around it wearing your clown costume.

Surely the chemical reactions spoken of would occur in other parts of the body too and stop them breaking down in low O2 enviroments? Is it becaue the brain is sterile compared to the rest of the body so it takes a while for bacteria to get inside and by then it may be too late for them?

"why (is) the U.S. government is so invested in the issue?"

Claiming it's 'perhaps' about the US wanting power to project US culture...as a way to deflect from Canada ACTUALLY OPENLY AND CLEARLY DOING THAT is propaganda-judo at Iraqi-information-minister level.

Even *asking* the question is hilariously obvious. So Canada is entitled to use its streaming channels to promulgate Brand Canada (and their obligatory Francophone appendix, always...) but the US is quasi imperialist - not for demanding the right to do so, just interfering with Canada's 'right' to do so.

And offering some sappy Ontario postdoc as the "quoted expert" instead of, say, an actual Canadian gov't official to defend their overt policy is even funnier.

And before the nabobs come chattering into the conversation, yes, OF COURSE the US promotes itself in media and indeed that is soft-power, but let's be clear here that the US isn't asking for the right to do so, just that Canada NOT do so. And oh, when's the last time you saw the majority of US media (incl Hollywood, to look at the bastion of American cultural power) saying /nice/ things about the US?

I'm not a US citizen so I can be objective- last time I looked it wasnt the US cutting down the amazon or Indonesian rainforests to replace with soya or palm and it's not the US currently building 300GW of new coal fired power stations. Also per person Australians produced more CO2 than the US for decades and both are way down that list compared to the arabs. Do some fucking research.

The shits already hitting the fan and (probably unlike you) I have kids so I do give a shit about the future, but despite what your student brain may think, the way human society works can't be upended in a few years.

Oh right, so if you'd been alive in the 70s you'd have eschewed a car and heating and/or air con and gone to live in a yurt with a donkey as transport? You moron, you have no clue. You're just another stupid kid blowing raspberries at easy targets. Why are you even using a computer? Switch it off and save the energy.

Comment I'm curious. (Score 4, Interesting) 36

This sounds like it was written by someone who actually knows what they are doing, so I assume that they know better than I; but I am surprised to hear that it is impersonating a system dll; since (in all comparatively recent windows versions) system components are signed. Absolutely tons of fuckery you can do to them and around them; but if dpapi.dll doesn't have a signature that checks out the mechanisms that try to keep OSes up and running on marginal hardware subject to random power loss will likely eventually object and attempt a repair, even if there isn't any more paranoid EDR tooling in place.

Is the on-disk copy of dpapi.dll untouched and only the in-memory instance tampered with?

Except:
A) we are talking about sea temps 10m below the surface across a global data set. Some Enlightenment polymaths taking readings with their home made thermometers in Europe wouldn't impact that data set at all.
B) "guestimates" would be hilarious to include in a conclusion being reached based on HUNDREDTHS of a degree (0.10 vs 0.09)

My supposition would be this is modem data only, eg since the 1990s MAYBE.

I'm not a boomer (Gen-X) but blaming a single generation from a period of 25 years for climate change is beyond purile - its fucking moronic. Blame the georgians - they discovered the coal that kicked off the industrial revolution! Or what about the victorians who turbocharged it and brought electricity to the masses requiring coal power to generate it??

But I suppose a hero like you would have said at the time "No, we won't advance technology, we'll stick with our agrarian society and horsepower just like the last 5000 years thanks very much and I never want to travel more than 3 miles from where I was born so whats the problem!"

Idiot.
