So Reddit is the scumbag steve.
Blue states make it illegal for citizens to pay their federal taxes with threat of prison. Simple.
More than likely it’s even more petty than that: they just didn’t want to admit to being wrong.
Who’s going to host a place where you could be sued millions of dollars because someone posted libel on there? Not your next door neighbor.
Monopolies. That’s what happens when you’re allowed to patent software.
Break. Up. Windows.
Luckily that is completely irrelevant because it’s Oklahoma
Just because water is cheap doesn’t mean it’s plentiful. We under-price water, as evidenced by the massive profiteering off of public water. These prices are inelastic and don’t respond to supply perfectly.
Also life can absolutely exist in a game of entropy. You’re pulling semantics with the closed system thing. If you want, then make the closed system be the whole solar system. It doesn’t affect my argument.
Using fresh water causes energy to be spent, that’s the whole point. Yes you can recover drinkable water from anything if you spend enough energy to do it, including the ocean, but we can’t do that as a primary means of getting water. Eventually it is a snake eating its own head with the amount of energy spent to obtain more energy.
It gets heated and then it’s unusable because the point of it is to cool things off. Some of it you can cool down and use again, by evaporation, but then you lose the amount that evaporated. When it goes back into the atmosphere it becomes polluted and you have to spend more energy cleaning it before it can be used by humans. Entropy always increases, the question is how fast you want it to increase.
As long as it’s the right people, I don’t really care. It’s about building community anyway, not consuming it.
They are a monopoly protected by patents. Completely unamerican philosophically.
Because humans are social creatures?
I mean, it is objectively bad for life. Throwing away millions to billions of gallons of water all so you can get some dubious coding advice.
Search is really useful for finding error messages’ origin as well as to find random example usages of APIs that have less than stellar documentation. The nice thing about GH search is that it allows many different facets like language and is pretty flexible by allowing exact search terms. Of course the corpus size helps as well.
Unfortunately none has quite as good of a search engine. Do any actually have social features like friends and feeds?
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
No, we really just need to stop selecting between two bad presidents over and over again. If you always pick the second-worst option, you’re going to have a bad time. Pick the best option. Ranked choice voting is the only way.
They did invest heavily in renewables. They executed pretty poorly because the power still goes out every storm but at least they tried.
I swear these people have never been around a cathedral and thought about how it was built.
