Did you enjoy your first drag, or was it relatively unpleasant?
Like anything else, if you practice, you get used to it. (I haven't worn contacts in a while, but I just reached up and touched my eyeball, didn't really bother me any)
If a hacker is making thousands of unnoticed attempts to log into a system or running rainbow tables against a hash table, weak passwords are not the primary problem with the system in question.
I have severe doubts about everyone's (so I am explicitly including myself here) ability to make sense of subjective experiences in a reasonable way, and to report, to themselves, their experiences in an accurate and honest way. There is no reasonable way to separate the hallucinogenic experience from the later freedom that having a 'reason' to explain changes you elected to make.
No one depends on China's capital markets. Well, except for Chinese companies looking for capital. So let's say that no one outside of China depends on China's capital markets.
I'm not sure that I think privatized social security would be a whole lot worse than an IOU from congress. At least with the privatized system, when I looked at my non-existent balance, I wouldn't be fooling myself.
According to all the assumptions that he built into the model but failed to include knobs for. It wouldn't replicate anything, it would 'examine similar situations with'.
My point is that a layman running a model developed by climate scientists doesn't accomplish much more than just having the climate scientists explain the conclusions that they have drawn from the model, because the layman has no idea what knobs the model should have.
I say that you loose them upon the cats and the dogs.
Using "loose" where you mean "lose" is worse than not being familiar with a particular internet meme (yeah, that's right, Strong Bad is an internet meme).
95% of the emissions of the Kuwait fires were carbon dioxide. All that stuff you talked about does very little to limit the emission of carbon dioxide. Sure, there is probably quite a bit less soot in controlled fires, but that's about the only difference, the amount of CO2 released is basically the same.
Between coal and all the other oil fields in the world (a great deal of the oil that gets pumped out of the ground eventually gets burned...), that event would probably be a blip locally, but hardly noticeable globally.
My old computer has something like a 300 watt power supply. My current computer, a laptop, has a 60 watt power supply. It also happens to be something like 20 times faster.
My point was more that you really shouldn't expect BP and Shell to be the ones to help you (and other consumers) move away from petroleum products. It isn't just the industries that are responsible for the emissions, it is all the people who are their customers.

I do not have a prohibitionist agenda.

Or I have concerns about the way experts talk about models and the impression that it gives non experts about what the model is actually useful for.
How do you know that for a fact? Have you talked to the version of yourself that didn't take LSD and MDMA recently?

Only if the assumptions are exposed.
And greatly diminishes the value of turning the knobs and seeing what happens...
Are there any assumptions built into the model?
Who certifies his carbon credits?
Ya see, I have a bridge to tomorrow that I want to sell.
I saw someone somewhere say something to the effect that today's Democrats make Nixon look like a pinko-commie.

Look into it. I read a couple of articles that quoted the Kuwait fires as producing 95% CO2.

Did you try using it without putting shit in your hand?

I hear that those wacky Brits also smash their fingers with hammers, for the humor value. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
You can try to fit several tens of thousands of people into the same little box, but I don't think you will succeed.
There is a raving lunatic for every cause here, along with the fair number of level headed lunatics.
Because the locks mitigate a bunch of casual threats.
