Even more fun is the huge die-off that occurred when humans first arrived in north america. Not just birds there, but many large mammals too.
It has always tweaked my brain if that is a "natural" extinction event too. I lean toward "yes," as the humans back then were basically hunter-gatherers. Then again, even spears and pit traps are technology...
Try crushing some sassafras leaves sometime... the exact smell of fruit loops. I'm sure they used an artificial flavorant for that, because why would you ever want anything natural?
And to add to this: Have you watched the ads on children's TV shows recently? I see several people in this discussion saying "I have a daughter, she wanted the pink stuff, wasn't interested in the building blocks."
Watch a few kids shows on broadcast TV sometime and cringe... there's where a chunk of your kids "programming" is coming from, IMHO.
It's almost like there aren't just two sides to politics! Imagine that, American Politicians.../Independent tired of being screamed at for being "A Libertard" or "A Conservitard."
Also: Not sure why you would want one baloon at the end of one heavy 30,000 foot cable. Maybe a smaller balloon dividing the cable into smaller unsupported spans would help? But then there's all the wind resistance, I dunno, that would be a tough one to design for all weather possibilities.
"No offense intended, but it would never occur to me to look for the best minds in any generation in an undergraduate English department anywhere. I would certainly try the physics department or the music department first -- and after that biochemistry. Everybody knows that the dumbest people in any American university are in the education department, and English after that."

Aside from leaving out all electricity costs and depreciation of the battery, that is.
I love that this comment got +4 Insightful.
When else is calling someone a "monumentally stupid cunt" ever going to be so insightful again? Probably only in the comments on a vaccine story.

That's some revisionist history if I've ever heard it.
I use Android because because an iPhone 6+ costs $750, and the same-size Oneplus One costs $250.
Also: the persistent back button... seems like Apple has kludged quite a bit to not just put a second button on their device.
Oh, and the Shortyz crossword app.
I've got the original brake pads on my 2000 Honda Insight with 225k miles on it... and the regen braking is much weaker on that one that the Leaf's.

Clearly you've never been touched by a Someone Else's Problem field.

The amazing thing is that the follow-up letter they sent him was an actual apology, not lawyerese gobbledygook.

Can we get a "Law" like Godwin's for mentioning "SJW" in an argument?
Because it has become that stupid.
Solenoid valves sticking off the side of the tube every couple hundred feet?
Blah blah blah I live in the real world blah blah tired of fixing it blah.
Oh man, APK's head is going to asplode!
Bought my wife a Chromebook. Haven't looked back (or had to do the above) since.
All this technology, but what I really want is a vacuum robot that can do stairs.
Do not taunt Tesla Powerwall.
But I always use 315 for my chunk size because that's my grandma's birthday!
Well, they sold you a MODEM.
Of course it's going to come with a software CD. You bought a MODEM! (yes, I know, you could be talking about cable/DSL/FIOS)
I'll just leave this here:

Not at 30k feet, but it exists.

A certain species of whiner that brings up SJWs at every opportunity is actually an irritating SJW itself.
Ironic.

I don't know about Steven Seagal, but I would love to see Jackie Chan in a "chick flick."
That man is hilarious, I feel like it would turn into a cult classic.
