When Anthony Watts was outed as a Heartland Institute shill, right before the eyes of those who believe the Global Conspiracy of Climate Scientists and Politicians in Collusion with Big Green for Government Money, there was a collective "meh" from the denialists and Watts suffered no loss of credibility in their eyes. They probably strongly suspect it already and it just doesn't bother them. Heck they probably strongly suspect that climate denialism is total bullshit but would rather tell science to go fuck itself than do anything that goes against conservatism.
Reminds me of a pic I once saw of a highly modded S2000 with the California plate "COMI4NA" ("Commiefornia"). The guy clearly had the means to "vote with his feet" and didn't. Instead he put an insulting plate on the expensive car that the "communist" California economy allowed him to afford.
This isn't about achieving uniform population density, it's about achieving a uniform population count. So those small highly populated states have roughly equal population to the large sparsely populated states.
Non-existant accounts. Never have a "root" user for SSH. Therefore, any attempt to log in as 'root' is automatically a groper. Block them immediately. Same with any other popular users.
Keep in mind that treating nonexistent and real accounts differently makes it possible to to bruteforce real accounts and focus the attacks on those. I like my DOSers to waste attempts on accounts that would never let them in.
Oh I see why I didn't find them, it wasn't about insulation at all. There's one right-wing rant that mentions green initiatives as "a boondoggle" in passing (in this context, "boondoggle" being synonymous with "non-conservative project"), an article that points out that a bald eagle nest was destroyed to make room for a wind turbine and then spends many paragraphs spreading anti-wind FUD and bringing up the "Big Green" conspiracy with a straight face, and finally one that points out problems with a project in Ontario to replace gas and coal power plants with wind turbines...which again, is not about building insulation or any building efficiency retrofits at all.
Or do you paint all "green" initiatives with the same brush? One wasn't a smashing success so they're all disasters right?
That's hardly the same thing as animal pain. A plant has no nervous system or brain. Plant pain is closer to the chemical response in a self-sealing fuel cell than animal pain.
On a more serious note, it's odd and disturbing that the idea of population control has been abandoned. In a lot of '80s sci-fi you can see that it's recognized as a serious problem, and then somewhere in the early/mid '90s it's like everyone just...gave up. It just doesn't get brought up anymore. It's like it's been accepted that attempts at population control are futile and we'll have to deal with the fallout.
I wonder if that could be the future of the global warming debate. Accepting that we're going to trash the planet and just dealing with the consequences, moving onto treating a symptom of a problem we've given up on.
Citation still needed, did some googling and can't find the horror stories of these failures. But maybe it's a liberal coverup by the Harper government which supports these initiatives. They're liberal by American standards.
More importantly, the Leaf doesn't slowly turn gasoline into heat when it's not moving. The best stop-start technology will never bring an ICE close to touching the efficiency of an EV. It's just that ICEs are horrifically wasteful.
I think rich people actually believe this too, this isn't the first time I've heard such BS.
Poor people never drive gas guzzlers (because they can't afford the gas, genius!) and don't have heated pools, large houses, luxury SUVs, the luxury of running climate control when it's not strictly needed (because they can't afford the electricity). It's basically an old 4-banger econo-car (or part of a bus ride) basic home appliances (at best) and maybe a few entertainment devices.
And I'd be very careful about bragging about the eco-friendliness of any new car vs. one that's been on the road for decades. A lot of a car's lifetime emissions are in the production process.
The site is under control of Russian authorities and a scientific group is due to arrive tomorrow to study the meteorite.
And lemme guess, they want some freelance mercenaries to help protect the site that totally won't be overrun with mutant beasts? I'll get my auto-shotgun...

I'm not a vegan or anything but you said you have no problem whatsoever with animals or even humans suffering for your enjoyment. That's what makes you a monster.
Our best scientific knowledge suggests that plants do not have nervous systems, never mind brains.

This looks like a juicy target just ripe to be milked of lulz.

2222 is the worst alternate port you could use, that's probably the second port a multi-port brute-force script will try after 22.

I was expecting the story to turn erotic, between the tales of your girlfriend and Farmer Brown's tales of French girls.
Capitalism's a joke XD
4 per hour? I give them 10 per week.

Make it do something good for once.

+1 Fuck HOAs forever. Avoid them like the plague they are. Why live in a free society and then opt into a little fascist dictatorship?

I want to hear about the deaths.

Unfortunately it would also drive the price of oil down which would increase consumption in the 3rd world.
Would it? Do you think those people are going to think "Whoa oil is cheaper, better use more to compensate! Phew, almost saved some money there!"
LOLWUT?

"Meh it hit the planet, close enough for deity work."
If you chop up a plant it still feels pain.

The hydraulic fracking breakthrough has dropped the price of natural gas so low, now it is not worth capturing methane to sell off.
They vent methane into the atmosphere? 8-(
Please tell me they at least flare it off and don't release it unburned...
