Comment My Only Beef(s) (Score 1) 95

My only beef with Firefox is a regression bug that causes the attempted rendering of some weather radar sites to fail and the CPU to got o100% utilization.

My secondary beef is that some sites block Firefox. It's 2025, U shouldn't need user agent changers to visit your shitty website. But, this is not Firefox' fault.

Firefox' continued ability to run uBlock Origin absolves it of any sins.

Comment I'm No Planeologist (Score 1) 52

I'm no planeologist, but those remarkably clear 2016 pictures of structures right at the beach don't look like any part of a plane.

And they don't look like part of anything that has been in the water, even preserved under sand, for 79 years.

This smells like a very well paid vacation to a deserted South Pacific island.

Comment It Depends (Score 1) 43

It depends on your measure and your tolerances. Let's limit tolerance to human survival levels. Here again, it depends. Humidity can move the survivable temperature limit up or down quite a bit. But, on average humans start dying at 45C+ for extended periods.

Unfortunately our crops will die before 45C. Even special varieties of wheat don't like temperatures above 35C, So we'll likely starve before we all die from heat.

The current average global temperature is 15.5C Please plan accordingly.

Comment Fuck Your Cinematic Universe (Score 4, Insightful) 143

Fuck your "cinematic universe". An expression that translates to; we are lazy and cheap and would like to keep remaking the same drek from an 87 year old comic book for maximal profit.

Write something new. Write something interesting. Write something funny. Don't be lazy profiteering fucks! Don't try to, yet again, phone it in by using AI as your writers to regurgitate the same shit that has been passe since the 1950's.

There are 36, thirty six!, Marvel movies. There are perhaps three that are worth watching even once. Stop trying to squeeze horseshit and expect to get gold.

Comment Education Levels (Score 1) 275

Populations with higher education levels, most especially secondary education, have lower fertility.

But fear not, those with lower or no education levels have very high fertility rates. Much of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

The better question to ask is; what does your or your child's little world look like when your educated and higher socioeconomic selves are vastly outnumbered by the masses of uneducated, unemployed, and starving masses? How will you defend yourself against the masses? What will you do when crime in general and especially violent crime are the norm?
