I thought you had to somehow resurrect the ghosts of the murdered to get furies. Am I remembering my Roman mythology wrong?

True, now I need to look at what research says. Is it CO2 only, or is there a combined effect?

Though at the same time, human heat engines will have some sort of impact on the environment. To claim otherwise is fallacious.

Imagine your house at 10C and you turn your 2000W computer on, then you'll be warming that space to above the initial 10C. If enough human made machines are generating heat, then the environment will heat faster than what the environment will be doing without our influence. In the end, it is the humans and the other living species that will suffer from the resulting climate change. To the Earth we will just be dinosaurs V2, to be replaced with major species V3. At least the dinosaurs could claim they didn't know better.

This guy either socially engineered his way through a line, analyzed a weakness in the line, or time-traveled from the '90's not realizing we've set up an incompetent but totalizing police-state control grid to interpose every tiny aspect of our lives.

To be fair, "pay on board" is less applicable to airplanes than trains because seatbelts are important in turbulence.

That said, the lack of capacity is widely acknowledged to be a feature of wildly incompetent management.

We just heard they've started a new project to rewrite the air traffic control system for the umpteenth time (and billions and billions later) to hopefully allow for more frequent landings and departures. I fear it won't be specified for AI-assist takeoffs and landings and will be obsolete before it's done.

Better make some more 8" floppies.

True. Should be mandating businesses to use metric or dual unit display.

A lot of this is probably still an influence of the US being a trade partner, but given current politics, maybe this is a good time to further push the missing metrification?

Right now GitLab is a potential alternative and you can even host it in your own network.

Possibly. Just consider the impact of RAM prices, to the AI providers .

A SCSI scanner should at least be a standard so it shouldn't need device specific drivers...
An ancient SCSI scanner from the 80s or 90s should still work today, providing you have a working SCSI controller.

Much worse are the scanners with proprietary interfaces, or proprietary protocols over other interfaces (parallel, usb, even their own proprietary isa/pci controller cards). You may find your scanner wasn't actually SCSI at all if you had to get a specific controller for it, a proper SCSI scanner should work with *ANY* SCSI controller.

Noone is advocating raising prices. They're just advocating for quoting the actual price up front. You would end up paying the exact same amount, it's just declared up front instead of misleading you with artificially lower prices and expecting you to make up the difference with a tip.

Pronunciation of letters is different to the names of the letters...
Or how do you pronounce "what"?

Are we, as a sapient species facing an uncertain prospect of continuence in a world full of rapidly-advancing bullshit going to learn from this catastrophic and absurdly predictable failure of information security, personal and professional ethics, civilian government, market economics, basic common sense, and consumer psychology?

Eight-Ball-Based-On-Cursory-Reading-Of-Literally-Any-Slice-of-Human-History says "no".

What do you say, and why is it also "no"?

The king is still head of state, so I'm okay with that.

Too late. That was already a thing in 1970.

It's good to have a second engine but it sure sounds like Gecko isn't long for this world.

You're right we should allow business to abuse monopoly positions, infringe on privacy and not give a damn about the negative social impacts. Oh and funnel money into tax havens. /s
