the past 115 years are "the warmest in the history of modern civilization."
Modern civilization dates from the first widespread use of the automobile, i.e. from about 1910. Thus the snippet reads
the past 115 years are "the warmest in the last 107 years."
There's a problem here.
America's premier athletes play gridiron football, baseball, or basketball. The ones who play soccer aren't tough enough for gridiron football, tall enough for basketball, or athletic enough for baseball. People in the U.S.A. prefer these more organized sports, so that's where the money goes, and athletes follow the money.
Cartoons have gotten much worse. News reporting has gotten worse, dishonest and biased. In sports, the technology has improved, but the commentary has been politicized.
I'm not a mechanical engineer, but using a wood structure for a 100 story building seems unlikely. Weight is not as much a concern in tall buildings as is working strength; and stiffness is not much of a concern because total structural stiffness is more a function of building geometry. Wood ages and cracks. The methods used to fasten wood inherently damage the wood. Wood is not uniform. Wood is severely anisotropic.
Paying authors once for a work of fiction, as an industry standard, greatly increases the risk to publishers and disconnects popular sales (the primary measure of a book's worth) from the author's reward. It would result in more books being written to appeal to a publisher's taste than to popular taste.
Most novelists can crank out at least one book a year. Some plots have technical angles (like cell phones) that if delayed 20 years make the book look stupid. Slang changes, same effect. Much fiction and even more nonfiction declines substantially in value over 20 years.
No, it may indicate two things: investors have seen better yield/risk elsewhere and sold their bonds at a loss to buy better bonds, or some of them think Tesla will be unable to pay and are getting out while they still can.
People achieving things through hard work are the rule, not the exception.
I'm comfortably retired after a career of hard (mental) work. I made some nice things. I know many other people who can make the same claim, all middle class. All that is "achieving something."
An "ad hominen (abusive)" is an argument of the form "You're evil, therefor your conclusion is wrong." Calling the OP a fucking asshole is just an insult, and doesn't even rise to the level of an ad hominem.
Apple is now competing on the basis of viciousness. I've never been a fan, but up until now I would at least consider buying their products, and wouldn't try to dissuade others from buying. No more.
It's unfortunate that your command of English is so poor that your post was funny.
Would her flying buttocks have been a part of her now unaffordable art project?
Alas, there are. Mont Vernon, New Hampshire is so named because it was unintentionally spelled incorrectly. The mistake was later noticed, but the town was not allowed to change the spelling to correct it.
Where I live, registration can be done at the polling place on the day of the election. This is how New Hampshire (fraudulently) elected its newest Democrat Senator.
There have been thousands of studies of the benefits of vitamin C. It does a lot more than just prevent scurvy. It helps wound healing and helps fight many diseases. Most people can benefit from several grams of vitamin C a day, provided it's not consumed all at once and that it's in a non-irritating form like calcium ascorbate.
You would do well to look at the restrictions placed on people in the American colonies leading up to the Revolutionary War. Britain was dedicated to the principle of keeping the colonies economically crippled and subservient. That principle acted to the substantial disadvantage of both the colonies and Britain, excepting only certain favored organizations such as the (British) East India Company.

The word is logorrhea. No need for a phrase.

The Simpsons are already degraded.

Do you think Apple is paying them to say "It's our fault, Apple is great." or threatening them?

Carly Fiorina wanted for questioning.
Skywriting is a tad more ephemeral than digital storage, unless you're considering unrefreshed DRAM.
Most places, felons lose the right to vote.
"Doing it wrong" is not the same as "vague criteria."

What a strange country this is, that everyone was born in the same year.
Attempting to justify paranoia takes many words.
