That was a quote pasted directly from the Psychology Today article linked, but a quick google shows you're right, no support for that statement. Possibly the phrase "usage rules" (PT's phrase, not mine) meant recommended practice (at the time the article was written) and is not legally binding.

Wave power is generating electrical power from energy that's already present in the ocean. If you don't use it to generate electrical power, it will eventually turn into heat from damping anyway.

Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance: having accepted medical benefits but abuse potential. Usage rules mandate that the drug cannot be taken at home. Patients are observed at least two hours after receiving the agent and typically receive psychotherapy and other treatments for depression.

Quoting Gerard Sanacora, M.D., Ph.D. Director of the Yale Depression Research Program and Co-Director of Yale’s interventional psychiatry program: “Large amounts of data suggest that your ability to make rational, correct decisions is completely disrupted when you take ketamine, as long as it’s in your system... People can hear things, see things, feel things differently. The physiological and psychological reasons are the main reasons the FDA declared Spravato [Ketamine] safe only in a health care facility under supervision.”

Yes, it's the albedo, and also yes, too small to have a significant effect compared to the main driver, the greenhouse effect..
The summary actually states this:

If the latest estimates are right, Shindell said, microplastics might not be an enormous source of atmospheric warming, compared with massive contributors such as cars and trucks, belching industrial plants or even burping cows.

But then undercuts that with

"But not a trivial one, either," he said.

Spoiler: yes, it's trivial.

"the report suggests defenders should focus less on tracking specific groups and more on stopping common tactics like credential theft, remote access abuse, and large-scale data exfiltration."

Both!

They're not mutually exclusive.

Ebiikes are a legal workaround loophole for motorcycles.

Yet another example of whataboutism." Saying "X may be a problem" does not imply "no other problems exist, we should look at X and nothing but X".

There's another whataboutism fallacy here, accusing the person posting as having a particular opinion on a completely different issue ("And the ban of golden rice people like you supported.") What does the phrase "people like you" even mean? People posting about agriculture on slashdot that include links to NIH?

In Quebec the whole electricity grid in nationalized but ran by a company fully owned by the government. It operates more like a private company to avoid the disadvantage of government bureaucrats. The result is that electricity is 7 cents a kwh there and all profits go to the government. They use about 98% hydro.

Infrastructure and bridges collapsing are a world wide phenomenon because most of modern infrastructure were all built in the same post world war II time period so it's nothing specific to the USA.

Also vms. I segregate users by vms nowadays, at least group of users belonging to the same entity. There were almost always ways to escalate to root from a local user account dating back to the beginning of linux.

Don't get me wrong here, this one is a giant hole although and it need patching ASAP. I say patches should be readily available in a couple days since it's just a matter of turning the caching off as a quick first step for mitigation. Then, re-think the whole caching problem.

The average number of children per woman in Switzerland is 1.29, about half of the population replacement rate. Stopping population growth in Switzerland has nothing to do with controlling breeding.

You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.

Good point. A highway with no ramps and no exits would have no traffic at all.

It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.

Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.

How many of you are ready to fund me asking the whales if under water explosions make them feel they are haunted?
