This is exactly how I feel. I recognize the Earth is getting warmer, and I know CO2 concentrations can cause warming effects, but I am by no means convinced that there is a causation link between the two
So what do you need to be convinced? What we are doing is basically pumping the suns energy into the atmosphere in just a couple of hundred years that has been stored over a period of millions of years.
That is done by man. People have predicted climate change and that is happening. Probably many of the deniers are more in a state of "I can't believe this." as in "I never thought this to be possible so I can not imagine it." as in "I can't believe you cheated on me." and rather live in denial then to admit that they are the cause of this all.
It is also interesting that you think that building solar panels and electric cars is wasteful and due to corruption while you do not claim the same thing with solid fuel based energy while that is where the REAL money is.
There will be some (a lot) corruption, but that will have nothing to do with the type of energy. It will depend on the type of government.
There is another way. Legalize it and tax it instead of fighting it. I can buy legal stuff that kills me at a slow pace at McD so why not something that makes me mellow or something that kills me faster.
The resulting inflation would be so severe it'd erode trust in the currency and initiate the hyperinflation death spiral and lead to the most serious global economic crisis of all time
Does that mean the US (economy) is too big to fail? And is the US the 1% among nations and should the rest protest against it?
Also there is the issue that in the real world you can expect a promotion once in a while. In Schools not so much. You are a teacher and one of them becomes a director of the school. That means the majority will not ever get a promotion.
How motivated would you be if the job you took at first would be the same job for the rest of your life? How motivated would you be after 25 years?
Making this about business, it will be worse for school who already have no money because of the neighborhood. Do we want toddlers to take student loans so they can get into the better schools?
Google has so much contradiction in what it wants for itself and what it does with other websites
For them it already is theirs. As long as nobody clearly states that it isn't their data, they will treat it as theirs. And nobody is saying that the personal data belongs to the person, so companies can keep confusing you and telling that as soon as it is somehow online, it is not yours anymore.
So in affect you did two full time jobs that then somebody else could not do. Why did you not get into a job fitting your degree or grade? As you point out with the word stupidly and with the fact that you did those jobs: you should have never gotten the loan to get into the school in the first place.
but very often what looks totally obvious and the only right way to do it with hindsight is everything else than obvious before that.
I agree. Imagine that the wheel had not yet been invented yet. Now it is something obvious, before that it wasn't.
I am just not sure that the invention of the would would be something that I would want to have somebody able to trademark, copyright, patent or limit its use in any way.
Her mother became 99 and 10 months. A brother and sister also became pretty old. Not sure what happened to another sister. My father is in his 90-ies and behaves like a 65 year old. We are directly related to her. She was my grand-fathers sister.
For that reason I have contacted the doctor to ask him how I (and my father agreed to do the same) could be able to help. e.g. by giving some blood so they can see after we die if there was anything there. She did not have any children herself, so for now all we know is that she might have been the only person with that part of DNA. Not sure if my sister (and her kids) is willing to do the same. Or my nephews. We all live in different countries around the world and some I have no way of contacting.
She also was under investigation for about 20 years, so they already knew a lot about her lifestyle. It is not like they dropped a body on the doorstep and they had to go from there.
The difference is want and need. If you steal a bread to feed your children (and yourself) is a want. To steal an xbox to entertain your children is a want.
The differences are thus basically if it is something you want or something you need? Food, shelter, education,... Those are things you need. Caviar, a huge mansion, Ivy League,... Those are things you want.
There are billions of people who are in a less fortunate situation then the people here on/. yet they do not steal. The majority of crime is done by peoples own choice. The exceptions are those who steel out of need. Aside from the exception (stealing out of need to feed) theft is a clear choice.
It is done because people think they can get away with it AND because it is a shortcut to what they want.
She wasn't. She did not dislike alcohol. Many stories she told me where not always about events where everybody was sober. Being the first to walk the ice in winter so your name would be engraved in the local pub will be just one of those.

They take away the power and control from those who have it now.

No we can not agree on that. Why would hacking a machine be bad just because it is a satellite. That is unless you think that ALL hacking is bad.
And also ban slashdot for posting this URL

We tried that with house loans, Remember how that went?

I am legend! This will be disappointing for a lot op people.

That is what they want you to believe.
They visit it when they are not?
Linux and now ESR are both moving away from GNOME3 (and KDE) and go to XFCE. ESR says XFCE looks like where Iâ(TM)m landing.
Many people resent the way both KDE and GNOME are not about functionality anymore, but about "because I can".
The fact that the GNOME community need to do their own survey shows, to me at least, how high the Ivory Tower is that the developers live on.
(1) I have a webserver answering. I even use 127.127.127.127 so it goes there and shows nothing and logs are somewhere else.
(2) I do not miss that. I even use ways to NOT see comments on many sites,
