That is how it is ALL the time, not only AT the time.
We need to dig deeper. Face it: we are witnessing relentless destruction and disappearance of a family as a concept.
Think about incomplete families as orphan kids with single guardians instead of parents even when the single guardian is biologically a parent.
Compare to the family with a widow or a widower as a single parent: the other parent exists in the best shape and form preserved as a shiny example of a human being, as a legend. Same about families where father is often not home because of his work: the mother creates an image of the father.
That does not happen in broken, divorced families. At best, the parent is silent because there is no really good answer to "where is my daddy" when you are divorced.
In other words: the family is almost dead. Is it good or bad? Does not matter. It's inevitable because destruction of the family reflects the current economic basis of society: post-industrial society with consumer economics.
We truly needed people all our history: all our history more people meant better gang to attack a mammoth, better gang to exterminate the other tribe, more people in Manhattan Project. We needed people to produce: more production meant better life for everyone. This has been slowly breaking since more than hundred years ago when the first overproduction crises started to happen. We did not need that much grain, we needed people capable of buying it.
At that time we needed people with qualities: qualities of industrial workers, qualities of engineering.
Gradually, we are shifting to the society when we need more and more people with only one quality: consumption. People who can consume all kind of crap we produce nowadays, who can cheerfully spend their money oiling up post-industrial air-generating industry.
For that you do not need families. Not at all. It is much easier to produce a consumer than a responsible worker or an engineer or a scientist. All is needed is turn off AdBlock Plus and NoScript when the child is browsing and the deed is done.
Old human needed to be diverse. New human does not - everybody is equal. There is no talent difference between buying an iPad or an SUV.
There is growing drone class of consumers soon to be fed by UBI, that will do absolutely nothing, similar to Seinfeld gang. All grown up in social "single mother-my-ass" incubators, the batteries for the Matrix.
Remember when Murphy Brown stopped her hit TV show, broke character, and spoke directly to him and all the misogynist bigots just like him, vigorously defending single mothers?
Yeah. Nothing makes a fictional scripted show better than blatant fourth wall breaking propaganda.
Did he accuse the whole room though? We need the numbers. How large was the pool (E) and how many of the pool McCarthy accused (P) and how many of them were actually turned out to be commie agents (T)
That will give you all four numbers: TP, FP, TN, FN for the classic sensitivity/specificity analysis.

jail should be for rich people who should pay for jail. Poor people crimes need to be dealt harshly by selling them to slavery, executing them or providing physical punishment.
I tried to watch Origin, surprisingly rich looking production. People already noticed embarrassing scu fi gaffs, but in terms of CGI - very tastefully done.
All true, but as a solution for entire planet, it won't work for a simple reason: there are less north land than "south" land, Siberia and Canada are not that large as traditional Mercator projection wants us to believe.
Even usage of the word "plebs" in context other than facetious is immediately punished by pimply 27-year old barritas. Recently, a guy in/r/science gave an excellent plain language explanation of the article, short and accessible for anyone who did not flank school. Yet some imbecile materialized immediately with stupid "ELI5" comment in reply to that. Somebody reasonably replied: "That was ELI5" and I added a lengthy diatribe which was basically saying that people should learn science instead of demanding ELI5. I was downvoted to oblivion (almost -100) (expectedly, and that's not the point), but what was more interesting is that the guy who replied "That was ELI5" deleted his comment (probably because of the downvotes).
The nauseating egalitariasm is omnipresent in every single popular sub. The less popular the post, the better quality discussion you can find. I am moving towards removing all popular subs from my feed on reddit (on top of being banned from news and worldnews for defending a Christian who got murdered on that savage (literally) island and for saying something positive about Islamic State, correspondingly)
Smalls subs are much better, like/r/selfdrivingcars or/r/MH370. They remind me of slashdot, except that they are heavily dominated by regulars you immediately recognize.
If you define comfort zone from -20 to 32C (32 is a strange number, but that's 90F used by NYT paper as a scaredays threhold in their recent piece), then you will find an interesting thing from analysis of comfort zone days: China haven't changed in general since 60 years ago: I suspect South moved out from comfort zone because of a hit and North moved in because of warming up areas that used to be freezing cold.
Russia of course got better because of the parameter.
90% of registered stations (total: about 1000 in analysis) in India registered decrease in comfort zone days. Yet, despite that in the last 60 years India jumped ahead quite a bit in terms of healthcare, technology, nuclear power, agriculture. And in population, too.
We warmed up 1C in the last 60 years and scientists prompt another 2C pretty quick. How is scary is that?
I propose not to be scared, but be prepared instead. Start cleaning up that Californian forest, for example, not with rakes, of course, but allowing sanitary fires in the forest, cleaning up sanitary zones around neighborhoods.
In the areas destroyed by level 5 hurricanes do not rebuild like Fifer Pig and Fiddler Pig, build like Practical Pig.
Otherwise Big Bad Wolf of Climate Change will get you again.
They do ask for permission all the time for various things. I have been stopped more than once in my life for speeding and such and police is nothing but courteous.
Of course, that's because I do not dress like a thug and I do not talk like a thug.
> The US military and other sections of the government have had to grapple with the reality of rising water levels that threaten naval bases and populations around the globe.
It's good that they mentioned military. Now that's the part of government that will quickly swtich from running on oil to running on sun, wind and water.
Oil is a strategic resource and sane government will never let oil industry to crash. It will be always supported similar to the way agriculture is supported.

No. Moron is what we have now. Bush Jr was of the same caliber as Obama: establishment stooge.

Immigrants from other countries die much earlier because of the hard life they lived before coming here.
Diet though...
Every tonnel has at least two holes. Maybe they were concerned about these two.
What about this claim by AC:
"4 billion people were supposed to die from starvation by 1985. "
In leading Impact Factor 1.05 journals.
Means that they will get very little money in these envelopes when they graduate.

I feel a bit lonely on Slashdot, since are a bit stale given that fewer people are participating.

I did not get that they produce both Volt and Bolt. Weird naming, in my opinion.
Now I understand
Per capita.
Think about this: we breath out more CO2 we burned in 1950.

Somebody explained to me that in case of America it's a good thing, because of the role of dollar as the global currency

Nothing beats American cars in exterior though.
Whats up with cancelinv Volt?

I do not know what area is meant by that.
