dissolved oxygen in the water is what the sea critters consume. basically warm water + ag runoff = algae which use up all this dissolved oxygen, leaving the dead zones.
The molecular bonds in water take quite a bit of energy to crack
So I grew up in rural eastern Oregon (Umatilla county), which is pretty big geographically, yet has a low population (~80k).
There's quite a few people (relatively speaking) living outside of what passes for a city -- farmers, ranchers etc. A *county* based fire department would either be prohibitively expensive to run because of the area to cover, or would have such shitty response times, it's not even worth having.
So, groups of residents band together and form a rural fire department (again, think of it like an insurance co-op) -- it works pretty well. There's no free-ridership, and there's no external costs passed on.
Seems like a pretty reasonable and sane way to do it to me.
because these fire departments (usually rural) are basically a kind of like insurance, they couldn't operate if people only paid when their house was on fire.
(They will go in and rescue people who are trapped inside, but yeah.. if you don't pay in, they will stand by and make sure the fire doesn't spread, and that there are no human lives at risk)
if one truly cared about the environment, and was still wanting to drive themselves (for whatever reason)
Does it make more sense to: a. new car, and all the energy intensive production needed to make it. b. used car
Financially, the calculus is even worse (and gets worse the more you spend, like a fucking Tesla for example) Tesla -> ~60k (there's other EV's of course, around what, 30k or so?) Used economy car -> 5-10k ?
That price differential would more than likely be more than you'd spend on gas for the life of the car (realistically several of your life times).
I'll admit Teslas are pretty fricking cool, but i don't think they should be subsidized by tax breaks.
well, you're using google's browser, and search engine which are free. (aside from raping your privacy.. yes, every other tech company does it too.. it's not an excuse)
for Windows/MS though, you are a paying customer. I get the annoyance factor directed at google, but (to me at least) it seems a slight bit 'different' than an OS.. which should act like an obedient child and not be heard from unless requested.
hangover levels vary for everyone, regardless of the total amount of alcohol consumed. Paddy the Irishman putting away a 5th in an evening will be blind drunk, but not necessarily hungover the next day. Pretty sure that's causing liver damage.
alieve + water + sleep = reduces your chances for a hangover, but that's unrelated to whatever damage you did to your liver the night before.
right? the nagging that occasionally pops up when running chrome is the nail in the coffin. So incredibly annoying when MS tries to nudge you into using their bullshit apps that are baked into the OS. Cortana, Skydrive, Edge.. Fuck off. If i had any desire to use these add-ons, I would.
I abhor ads, especially when it's either impossible to disable/remove, or a convoluted regediting process. I bought the computer, I should get to choose what programs or features I use.
Are you trying to work out the internal workings of the shark-mind? I mean.. they're sharks, they do what sharks do. Maybe a colder arctic current came farther south, and at the depth at which sharks do their sharkly things.
For your next mystery to solve, figure out why whales beach themselves, or mosquitoes are attracted to bug zappers. We're dying to know what you come up with!:)
because; the cold shock causes you to gasp for air --- which if you're under water (and here's where the PFD comes in!) causes you to inhale large quantities of cold water.
i'd agree with everything you mentioned aside from the blue water navy -- it turns out that having a very long, very pointy spear is a handy thing to have when it comes to foreign policy

how in the fuck would that work with NN? "we won't interfere with your packets until they cross state lines"?
Your nickname is a pretty good description of MS and how they're handling windows 10.
the garbage man actually does something, is probably more honest, definitely more empathetic. A company could do worse...
elop, fiorina for example..
think of all the dogecoin they could have mined!
you know though, if you define 'the people' as the 'nation state', you get fascism.

i think you really meant to say "...how thin the line is between the US government and multinationals that were once based in the US" ?

it's working quite well if you happen to be running one of them.
For everyone else.. not so much.
What kind of person decides "i want to make my living off of incarceration of human beings" anyways?

The issue here is that people are swatting, not that the swat team shot someone.
And the award for the most asinine comment of the day goes to: AC (That AC, boy he's really racking up the awards folks).
Tell that to the man's family. An innocent man was shot in the head for absolutely no reason.
SWATing should be a felony if it's not already
militarization of our police is a a much larger problem
But an innocent man was shot in the fucking head for no reason, and SWATing and trigger happy special ops wannabe police officers led to it.
No no, you don't get it. Sure you lose money on each individual unit, but you make up for it with volume! Trust me, I have an MBA.
Isn't that just fucking brilliant though? Charge a ~$200 premium for allowing something that was available in every single version going back to XP.
if i wasn't a nerdy computer gamer, i'd just install mint.
Well I guess it's nice that they gave some bonus money to rank and file employees before the layoff, vs just the c-levels (per the norm).
So progress perhaps?
FFS! Learn something new every day...

Better?
a user ?
an user?
dude... read what you're suggesting aloud, tell me if it sounds right: (hint, user starts with a consonant sound, so it's "a")
Also, women apparently don't own computers?
