The problem is that there aren't enough of the little appliance-size batteries to economically recycle, but there are enough that sometimes they cause fire.

How many batteries per week do you think people in Britain discard?

Is your Google broken?

If you cannot be bothered the pry yourself away from right-wing propaganda then I cannot be bothered saving you.

Nothing I say to you will matter because you're going to go right back to Fox News or OEM or whatever your preferred source of lies is and any progress you made joining us in the real world will be completely and instantly undone.

You are the only one who can save yourself now. And I seriously doubt you can.

It's not that bad yet, but I think it is a lot closer than the average American believes it is. All the mechanisms are in place, they just haven't been fully employed yet because they're being pushed a little at a time so there's no big incitement to revolution.

Depends on what you mean by "point of no return." Yes, the carbon dioxide we have already put into the atmosphere will continue to result in Earth being warmer by something like 2 C, and this will last for at least a hundred years, possibly more.

But, no, we have not yet reached a point of cataclysmic climate change. It is not too late to avoid worse results.

The longer we wait to start implementing solutions, however, the worse it will be.

The post you're replying to was making fun of the lack of a tilde (~). There is no Spanish word "nino", it doesn't mean anything.

El Niño, not El Nino.

The deaths weren't due to heat prostration. The deaths were due to mass starvation because of weather pattern changes resulting in crop failures.

How does staying hydrated and seeking shelter protect you against starvation?

The 1877-78 El Niño deaths occurred from disrupted global weather patterns, triggering severe, prolonged droughts, extreme flooding, and heatwaves that destroy crops and spread disease.

Yes, you can.

The administration asserts that a green card or a visa can be revoked for individuals who are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States of America under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996. At no point did it add "...except, of course, this can't be done at the border."

Not to mention an increase in damaging severe weather.

Even people who like it warmer probably don't like having their house blown away to Oz.

If you believe that Iranians saying that stuff is a statement of actual intent and makes peace impossible, then you should also believe the same about statements made by the Israeli government and its genocidal intent to create a Greater Israel.

Unfortunately, it has a way of becoming your problem as they strain medical resources, continue to drive global warming and run around spreading their infectious diseases.

The key is to use the AI more sensibly. Let it find things in code. Even let it look at possible bugs in the form of where does it "describe bug". Even let it propose changes. DO NOT let it make the changes, just show them. Do not just take it's word for it, take the shown code as a starting point but re-do it for maintainability after sanity checking it.

THEN it can be a useful tool.

It's not today I can do their job trust me it can't. It does in many cases moderately increase productivity and there are a few cases where somebody who is basically an idiot can do something that they couldn't do before.

You are letting your sleeves show though when you go on about the covid pandemic that happened quite a while ago and has absolutely nothing to do with this. Just a friendly reminder that when the baby boomers die in the next few years because those rapacious motherfuckers took all the money and they're taking 70% of it with them to the grave spending it on the healthcare system they ruined if they don't blow it on RVs and cheap booze that our entire economy is not going to have enough consumers to sustain it.

Now if you're one of those baby boomers who's going to be rotting in hell sure go right ahead. You got yours fuck everybody else.

Remember that I got mine fuck you is the baby boomer slogan. That and make America great again.

But if you don't just drop dead then there isn't going to be enough taxpayer dollars to fund the massive militarized police system that's been keeping all those desperate people from showing up at your door. Let alone the social programs that have given them just enough food so they think they might have something to lose.

And you're going to run out of bullets before the world runs out of desperate people with nothing to lose.

But like I said if you're pretty old and most of us are you will probably drop dead before the consequences of your actions actually directly affect you. Maybe. Kind of depends on your age and genetics. I guess you're going to find out.

You can literally look up the statistics on degrees being awarded. Virtually no worthless degrees or being rewarded. Unless what you mean is that when somebody goes and studies a serious discipline and they can't get a job because we've created the economy with the same trickle down economics we've been cratering the economy with since Ronald Reagan then I mean yeah I guess but that's not really the fault of the student, there is plenty of work for them to be doing that would be useful to you and everyone else, that's the fault of the voter who after 50 fucking years still can't realize that it never trickles down.

Getting back to how much you like being lied to, again there is a propaganda Network feeding you that line and you are willfully sloping it up like a pig at a trough. Why? Literally a few minutes on Google and you can find the government backed statistics that tell you degrees awarded by Major and you can see that there is a very tiny handful of people getting degrees that do not have an immediate productive economic purpose. Everything else is people doing work and a bunch of teachers. And you need teachers for your fucking crotch fruit.

Again I ask why do you actively seek out people to lie to you and obvious ways? I would legitimately like an answer and a explanation for why you find that so engaging and entertaining.
