Well, you've seemingly forgotten that ChromeOS sucks, because there are very few additional programs you can run on it. Almost no third-party choices to be made. Just eat the gruel Google provides. Certainly, nobody is allowed to casually create their own programs to run on ChromeOS.
Umm, the warlords are the government in Somalia. It's ludicrous that people constantly cite Somalia as a place with no government. In fact, the warlord-led government of Somalia is only a degree more coercive than the regulatory mess that people get gleeful about imposing.
The same people as that writer at present bemoan 'sprawl' as the biggest problem facing cities.
It's ideology speaking, though horses do place a burden on high density cities. The fix was actually streetcars and expanded suburbs, until the automobile infrastructure replaced the rails.
There are apples on the trees in our orchard. Flowers blooming all over. There's even some milkweed in the corner of the yard. I am going to not chop it down this year and see if we can attract a bunch of monarch butterflies.
The environment here isn't "shot." When I hear the red-tailed hawks scree up there I know the food chain is still working okay.
They have been growing it as a cash crop to sell to Westerners for how long? Several centuries at most? At what point did subsistence farmers stop growing non-cash crops? Probably more recently than you think.
Sure, there's a colorful cultural history of Ethiopians growing coffee. It's almost like the history of Native Americans growing tobacco. Read: the export market grew when westerners started buying the cash crop.
Slashdot was recently purchased by a group who have high hopes of deriving revenue from operating it. It hasn't been a 'hobby' of the owner for well over a decade, but the domain name and database of user IDs keeps getting passed around to 'interested operators' trying to accomplish various things from owning it.
Right now it appears to be operated by clickbait operators.
Coffee has never been an indigenous subsistence crop in Ethiopia. In fact, the growth of coffee farming in Ethiopia has probably contributed to malnutrition there, as people stop growing the food they traditionally ate and start growing coffee for export instead.
The rich corporate fucks set up the banana republic operation decades ago. People in this discussion carrying on about the excellent exotic Ethiopian coffee are contributors to the repression.
100 years ago probably almost nobody at all in Ethiopia were growing coffee, because it's a modern cash crop.
So the severe social upheaval has already happened.
Plus: Ethiopia? It's been a hellish 'trouble spot' on the horn of Africa for decades. Not as bad there as in Eritrea, but it's a place with pretty severe social upheaval that doesn't have that much to do with the climate.
So they will pay more and more as time goes on? If I put on solar panels, within five years or so I won't have to pay a mortgage, and the subsidy will then soon also pay for my food?
You threatened his bubble. It's perfectly understandable that he reacted with profanity.
My first mobile computing device had a 68xxx family processor in it, just like the one in the first generation Macintosh. It even (!!!) was designed by former Apple engineers. I refer to my trusty Palm III of course.

I hope there are plenty of phones on Mars to sanitize, so they won't grow bored with life.
"Selective enforcement protects General Motors' market position."
What could be wrong about that?
Your 'direct result' assertion is unadulterated bullshit. Insert quarter to try again.
Selective memory.

I paid $25 for a 128GB MicroSD last Black Friday. Granted it's from an unknown brand (Samsung).
Hay, we had pork chops for barbecue this week. Don't be dissing pigs.

They are speculating with something that they have two contradictory hopes about:
1. They hope that the value skyrockets so that the value of the amount of it that they have will increase dramatically.
2. They hope that the value will stabilize enough that people will start using it as a currency.
Basically, they are hoping that somebody else will be more stupid than they are.
We are speculating with something that strives to become a currency.
Oh, the irony!

So the message is that Climate Change is going to wipe out yuppie coffee?
Did I hear you just listing a whole bunch of varieties of tulip bulbs??
It also supposedly floods places like New York, and will flush out all sorts of vermin.
Who will be left to buy the non-Maxwell House coffee??
They probably don't own the land anymore. They probably have to go to the company store and buy imported canned corn from the US for food.
For the first time in years I haven't had any allergies this spring.
Thanks, Trump!

Cool!
Please point out in the historical record where you can show people were saying "there are lots of other good reasons to stop using horses".
un-desertify the Sahara and planted trees throughout the whole thing
There would be people screeching about the damage to the Sahara desert's indigenous flora and fauna.
or CCDs, or...
Super, super tiny vidicon tubes.
Late in the tube era, there were little tiny tubes the size of an NE-2 neon lamp.
Yep. That's what is printed on the outside of the box.
