The N64 controller had the shittiest everything Imaginable. GC wasn't much better, either, it was ergonomic for nobody. Wii was pretty bad too, you had to have an ergonomic condom for the wiimote, and the controller was too rounded. Since Famicom was kind of janky (though player 1 had a headphone jack) I'd say only NES and SNES were actually worth a crap. Neither one had any ergonomics, but neither did anyone else's controller until Genesis, Epyx aside.

I agree with all of that stuff, but there's also Biden going around congress to fund genocide, and Kamala saying she would be different from Biden but not saying she would stop the funding of the genocide. I can tell you that a whole lot of people were talking about that constantly, and stayed home because of it. That was fucking stupid, but we need votes from the stupid too.

Democrats have power but they absolutely despise using it

They love using it to crush actual progressives.

For that kind of money you could DIY something excellent, without compromise. Listening to sensors and controlling relays is pretty trivial stuff, and there must be lots of free thermostat software out there. You could literally do it with an Arduino Nano but I wouldn't, I'd probably use a Pi with their fancy display, or at the very minimum the new esp32. At that point you could do it a lot cheaper, but I'd rather have something I can log in to.

I can not have kids I can't support.

If they wanted me to have kids they wouldn't have fucked me over in a zillion ways, like for example funding genocide in Gaza instead of health care here. Oh yeah, and Israelis get national health on our dime, too.

Then they cry about replacement rates, what fuck faces.

Comment Bull. Shit. (Score 1) 209

You can tell this paper is shit because they don't define high income countries before making declarative statements about them. I have no doubt that the definition they used is in there somewhere, but A I'm on my phone right now which makes it hard to skim a research paper and B they would have explained up front of they weren't using a bullshit definition.

Who are they deliberately not counting?

I had a neighbor in Marysville have her kids put their trash in my recycling can. The trash company complained to me about it. They did it again the next week and it included some of their mail and kids' homework, nice proof. I told her to remove it and they dragged ass so I dumped it out in their yard, which was fun. Can the system detect when someone else's trash is in my recycling can?

Comment How hot has it been before? (Score 0) 39

During the [Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum], the global mean temperature appears to have risen by as much as 5-8ÂC (9-14ÂF) to an average temperature as high as 34ÂC (93ÂF). (Again, todayâ(TM)s global average is shy of 60ÂF.) At roughly the same time, paleoclimate data like fossilized phytoplankton and ocean sediments record a massive release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, at least doubling or possibly even quadrupling the background concentrations.

The PETM is arguably most relevant because it's the most recent hot period, a mere 56 million years ago, and because it's argued that it was driven by both carbon dioxide and methane.
