A warmist is someone who believes something to be true based on an lay understanding and personal opinion. A climatologist is someone who has published evidence in a peer reviewed journal. Very different people.
I'm a technological backwater when it comes to cell phones. I don't usually carry one, and definitely haven't bought into the idea of an expensive monthly charge for data+voice that goes with a smart phone.
Some 10 years ago I signed up with a lowball limited minutes contract with T-Mobile for about $20/mo. It serves my minimal cell needs - a phone to carry when I travel or when I'm job hunting or I need to be in touch for some other reason, usually for my wife - perfectly well. I think I had an overage (about $20) once in those ten years, and that was due to having to make a lot of calls when one of my parents passed away.
I haven't seen an offer in this ballpark since except maybe as a prepaid. I'm perfectly happy to ride my grandfathered low rate as long as possible.
While there is a lot of whining here about T Mobile customer service, I haven't had issues with them. Of course I only call once a year at most, but when I have I've gotten the answers I need right away.
There has never been any physical phenomena successfully explained by reference to supernatural phenomena. In fact there has never been evidence of the existence of supernatural phenomena despite the existence of large cash awards for such evidence.
It is a logical fallacy to cite a phenomena for which there is no explanation for yet as evidence that supernatural phenomena exist.
Complete poppycock. There are so many ways to get and read a book these days that major retailers are not close to controlling the distribution channels.
The real concern is jerks trying to get books pulled off the shelves at local libraries.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is NOT a nuclear power advocacy group. It was founded by former Manhattan Project scientists as an anti-nuclear weapon advocacy group in 1945 in order to bring public attention to the dangers of nuclear arms.
They are probably most famous for the Doomsday Clock.
More recently the BAS has increasingly focused on explaining the dangers associated with nuclear power.
What you are describing is the most expensive, inefficient way of generating power possible. Any engineering project of this type follows a scaling law where cost per output follows a power law with the exponent less than 1. A house size wind turbine will typically cost $5 per kw, while a commercial scale turbine will be $1 per kw.
Way too narrow. Libraries are places where you go to get access to people (librarians) who can help you find expressions of ideas. Those expressions could be in meat space or in virtual space.
If it's at a University they already have maker spaces in the STEM departments.
When I was an undergrad I had a intersession break that was supposed to be independent study - eventually I ended up doing a project in a machine lab with the help of a prof I found hanging out in the lab. Built a simple game machine in about 6 weeks. It was the most fun I've had in my life. Learned a crapload too.
Networks and relationships come and go. People die or move away. You forget your course material after 25 years or so, or end up working in a different field.
What really matters is the elite college name gets you interviews. And yes over a lifetime it's worth the $100K or so. I know from personal experience.
Unfortunately EU law doesn't seem to actually mean very much. France has been going around and banning people from the internet. That's actually kind of behind what the US does.
Oh Pooh. The right to free speech doesn't make others pay for the pamphlets you print. The right of free speech also doesn't give you the right to solicit prostitutes or send out offers for illegal drugs in the mail. The right to bear arms doesn't give you the right to shoot people.
This is how internet access should be approached.
Congress shall make no law prohibiting the access of any person to the internet.
My personal anecdotal experience is exactly the opposite of what you claim. I've lost photos four times on flash media, and never on optical media that I've mailed home.
Visit any high level photography forum and you will find it populated by many people who have had sad experiences with flash media data loss.

The studies done so far don't show any correlation between vaccination and the hygiene effect.

The official content policy of the US of A starts with "Congress shall make no law".
It doesn't say "Corporations shall may no policy..."

Yeah, even Eliot Spitzer was paying only about $4,000 per hookup.

China Mobile is the largest wireless company in the world. There have been persistent stories that they would like to enter the US market.
Whether that would be accepted politically who knows.
Antireligious movements started in revolutionary France. Not my idea of modern.
Atheism is older than Christianity; some Hindu sects about 6th century BCE were atheistic. There were several other such movements in India.

Not much reason to take her seriously.

Somebody else not totally ruined might read it.
In India everyone has your data.
Crikey of course it's the right way. The Founders figured that out hundreds of years ago.
There should be an investigation. With the DHS budget they should have this already.
You forgot that under the Patriot act everything not compulsory is illegal.
