The definition of social media: a group of people who can espouse, or appear to support, any point of view; can believe and adopt anyone else's point of view without supporting evidence; don't have to interact face-to-face with those with whom they agree or disagree; and don't have to take responsibility for their positions or statements.
...The green lobby's anti-nuclear stance has done massive damage to the environment
since we're all seemingly stuck in over-exaggerate mode....
Compare the actual physical damage done by dumping 110 million tons of coal ash into our back yards vs a few lobbyists sitting around chatting about nuclear power with congressional staffers over expensive lattes.
Interview the people who lived near Fukushima Daiichi and Chernobyl for a human perspective on nuclear power. Maybe concentrate on the survivors, as the dead tell no tales.
The Nuclear biz more or less shot itself in the foot. It doesn't take any effort to point out the hazards of a nuclear accident, which is a real shame as some countries have used nuclear power safely for years. The US could too if we'd all just take a deep breath and evaluate modern nuclear generation technology vs 70 year old technology.
I can't dispute "polluting renewables" since I don't have any actual facts on the "significant pollution" incurred along the solar-cell supply chain. Personally, I've always suspected the squeaky-clean facade that solar claims. IMHO that's denial of what happens in the manufacturing cycle. I wonder if some of that could be factored out of the equation because competing energy sources will have similar problems.
The Federal Trade Commission will be launching a task force to monitor competition in the US’s technology markets... in order to“enhance the Bureau’s focus on technology-related sectors of the economy, especially organizations in which the owners challenge the integrity, intelligence or competence of the current administration.”
I can do 1 or 2. Maybe 10 girlie pushups. Most of the ladies in my "core fitness" class at the gym kick my flabby ass on pushups and situps. I got 'em beat on farting and smelling like an old man though...
"Hey sweetheart! Wanna grab an espresso or energy shake after class? Maybe go back to my place? I'm pretty good at massages. Huh? Yea, ok, No problem. Maybe next week, ok?"
I'm on it. I'll be trying to get a contract to provide our loyal, space troupers with phased plasma rifles in the 20, 40 and 100 watt range. I expect the R&D to be extraordinarily expensive.
The updates from April 10 update last year bluescreened my 2008 R2 servers. AFAIK, Microsoft still doesn't have a fix. I am f*ed with no possible recovery. I can't say enough bad things about Microsoft's unprofessionalism, inadequate testing, contemptuous customer support, and ignorance of how their half-baked updates negatively impact real-world situations.
Evil NASA patrols the ice wall and prevents anyone from reaching it...
Ha! I knew blue-fire breathing dragons and a legion of un-dead would somehow be involved. Has HBO or George R Maten threatened to sue the flatlanders for infringing on GOT story?
Know what's weird though? My federal taxes went up this year. I musta done something wrong, 'cause I know the Donald gave me a great, truly fabulous, phenomenal tax cut. He said so.
I looked at some of the pics. Either the pictures are real, or they're composites of real people. There's too much background detail. The reflections in eyeglasses show content. Almost every pic had some easily identifiable artifact like a smudge, a paperclip growing out of the top of someone's head, or the temple from a pair of eyeglasses just hanging out without the rest of the glasses.
For me to buy into this, just get the semi-fake person to start sending tweets with the AI-driven fake tweetbot.
Let's see if people can get rid of demodex mites in their eyelashes using a high-powered laser pointer. Just be careful not to point the beam directly into the iris.
Stay tuned for tips on how to be more relaxed while driving! Hint: Don't use that seatbelt / shoulder harness!
Q: How are you with detection without visual clues? Like over an average poor cell phone connection with lots of latency. Visual contact is, IMHO, an extremely important source of perception for humans. I suppose that's why we're such crappy internet communicators.
Yea, a couple corn-pone yahoos from Iowa with woefully incomplete information and not knowing the inner workings of the platform somehow managed to identify robo-spammers a whole lot faster the we did, but they don't have to go to all the meetings that we do. Personally, I have 2 standups daily to review our deep-tanning, AI driven excuse generator. Plus a full face meeting for minimization strategies when dealing with media. That only leaves 4 hours for my workout & massage at the company gym and an espresso break. Sheesh.
None of these assholes actually want to enact legislation... they just want to launch bills they can show to their contributors and say "see! We're moving forward on your request. It may not pass because of the intransigent 'other guys', but we're doing our part. Now about your contribution for the next election cycle...."
I'm not picking on any particular party. There's enough greed, duplicity, deceit and divisiveness to go around.
Content providers will pay for prioritization over other content providers. ISPs that own content will stealthily prioritize their own content over competitors. Costs escalate and are passed on to the consumer. Plus a modest "prioritization handling fee" tacked on by the ISP.

ignore that .... accidentally hit submit prematurely.
So, yeah, lets compare 10,000 deaths from nuclear power to
10,000,000
10,000,000
10,000,000
104,866 deaths just from coal mining alone. I just can't believe how irrational people are about this topic.
We need an adult agreement based on rational decision making...
Alas, the type of get-together required will be deemed illegal by the current powers that be.
The powers that be are out to exterminate each other. Rationality is dead and buried. The adults are suffering from Alzheimers.

Of all the malware they could be pushing ... bots buying over-priced connie high-tops. I am so out-of-touch with this life priority.
CPAP is important for people with sleep apnea ... Not every sleep apnea product is going to be equally effective or equally advertised, that's true.
Saw announcements about 3-D printed CPAP masks a few years ago. I'm guessing they are mainstream by now:

Whoa. Easy there boss. We're all only human. It ain't the end of the world.
If you bury it in the ground will it turn back into dinosaurs?
Yea yea I know. Ferns and moss. But a guy's gotta dream a little.
FTFY
What's good for the goose .....
Just forty...

Take me to the edge.
There's a song in there somewhere, and I mean a good one; not the one from Magnum.
"Home prices NEVER go down" -- typical real-estate agent in 2006
If anti-vaxers want a truly independent community, without interference from officials, there are several around Chernobyl. Apparently they are not the toxic radioactive hotspots that people think: "Most of the area of the exclusion zone gives rise to lower radiation dose rates than many areas of natural radioactivity worldwide.". And who knows they may be right. Case in point: fluoride in water and toothpaste.
Woot! Making monopolistic capitalism great again!

I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the lozenge take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
Sorry. That just doesn't ring for me like the original.
