Not necessarily... past mechanisms that locked in carbon (like lignin) are no longer effective because the biome figured out how to make enzymes that break down lignin. So, fewer peat bogs to sequester it away. The anaerobes were victims of their own success in their oxygen waste products that eventually lead to their demise. So, it is perfectly feasible that CO2 levels could ramp up again and wipe out complex life until some microbes start making something they can't break down yet with it. Maybe we'll get lucky and multicellularity will be a big hit again.
More confusing is the sentiment that it isn't the end of the world because humans probably won't go extinct, since some hunter gatherers will keep on going. I realize pro-nationalist sentiment can go too far, but not to have any attachment at all to one's culture strikes me as odd.
The risk of cozy relations with Russia leading to nuclear war is that if the US/NATO isn't being the 'leader of the free world' and protecting smaller nations, they will be more likely to arm themselves with nuclear weapons to protect themselves from Russia/whoever. Once you've armed every little country with nuclear arms, throw in some Global Warming related crop failures etc to crank tension, and you've got yourself a tinderbox.
That's a good explanation! I enjoy being social but I stay up later than the rest of the wife and kids primarily to enjoy some time alone, even if I'm exhausted.
But it increases risk to the student to pursue the more lucrative degree. I knew a guy who started medical school, then family health problems sprang up and next thing you know he's a regional manager at a McDonald's because that was the most lucrative job he could get quickly. That's not terribly common, but the onus of paying back loans is on the student, not the school, so the risk/reward effect there would need to be considered.
Eh, not a new bible... you don't have to take any of that on faith. Although, I guess you could, if you were profoundly ignorant about how science works but were willing to go along with what scientists said for some reason.
I had a virology professor who presented some stats I don't have the citation for, but the long and short of it was that all populations, no matter how divided, have a exponential increase of the percentage of them that is positive for herpes over time. The only exception in his dataset was nuns. And yes, it isn't just a Parks and Rec joke that apparently nursing homes are hotbeds of STDs since no one uses protection since the women aren't fertile anymore.
Hardly any... there have been lots of articles about it over the past few years about the risks of being one of these drivers, or hosting AirBnB and so on.
For a while maybe... I was running some Pex plumbing and was shocked at how easy it was compared to copper. May not be far enough off where the machines can poop out other building materials you can snap together as well as traditional materials, either.
Isn't part of what Basic Income means is that it eliminates all the other programs? So that cutting the administrators and program monitoring lowers the cost?
Does it though? If all the Uber drivers end up living in their leased cars until they go bankrupt then it isn't 'what the free market would allow' so much as a market that hasn't quite finished collapsing. Like a Dust Bowl for taxis instead of farming.
Good point... if the new administration kills Net Neutrality then they'll also probably give their subscribers usage of Tidal that doesn't count towards their cap and so on, as well.
But isn't is only slander if it isn't true? And using someone else's property to interact with your personal accounts does get fuzzy with using work computers and so on.
They might try, but I have noticed in the rare times I subject myself to advertisement TV that Time Warner et al cite Netflix performance as an asset when selling their internet services. At least in areas with a little competition (I'm lucky to have WOW and TWC in my area competing) they won't be able to stuff Netflix performance without losing customers.

Wow, I hadn't heard that one... I would've thought it was a joke. I'd have immediately returned the TV to point of sale rather than changed settings.

That's what inspections are for

Well... personality is a bit of a description of how your brain works, so perhaps the distinction is false?

Wouldn't that result in pressure from low income folks to major in less lucrative degrees? Why is that good?
So the newspaper headline would be 'poor students excluded from STEM'? I don't see that going very far.
Ha! Maybe it'll end up required for CE or something and it won't be worth multiple SKUs
Eh... I think you can comfortably find yourself in Orwellian territory no matter which end of the political spectrum you leap off of.

Agreed... the science underlings are going to be the same as before, and it'll get out if they're being censored by the administration.
While driving it is almost useful? Over all though it is mostly frustrating with Siri, anyhow. I've not tried any others.

Hey, they'll need those tax breaks to afford the robots they're going to replace us with!

Hosting the Olympics is usually associated with a bunch of slapdash construction of the required facilities.
