I find it odd you’d say light pollution is worse since LEDs. I thought the design of lights was generally far more directional with LED design and avoided shining light upwards. Now you can fly over large areas with street lighting and only see dimmer reflected light from roads and not the streetlights themselves.

Thankfully they’re low enough orbit that their orbit would decay pretty quickly. It’d be a superb show as the sky lit up with millions of pieces of burning debris. Not sure what it would do for the atmosphere though. It would be a fair amount of metals being vaporised.
That’s not how the word gimp was used. It was a cripple. Somebody with a gimp was somebody with a limp.
One form of capitalism.
It wasn’t that big at the time. I mean it was a hit for him, but one of many. It’s remembered for the drum fill, and that really started because of the Cadbury’s gorilla advert.
It’s just been memed to hell
That one isn’t a “yank obsession”. Fathers are important, as are mothers, and any child growing up with only one of them is going to have things they miss-out on.
BTW I’m not passing any judgement on single sex couples adopting, or any other shape of loving family. I don’t know any data on what the outcomes are like, but I’m sure the most important thing is the love and support the child gets.

Interesting, because I heard recent reports of huge amounts of inventory and large upfront manufacturing costs painting a picture of a company with extremely large amounts of debt to service. Some likening it to the Evergrande property company.
I doubt it’s on that scale, but I could easily believe BYD is another hyper accelerated company with shaky fundamentals.


Ironically, that stability is probably why AMD target Ubuntu. They don’t want everything else on the bleeding edge. Just their bit.


Having seen other “rush the president away” situations, it’s always been the secret service dudes in black suits defending him. When did he start taking a military force in full tactical gear to dinner? It’s not like they were hiding behind the scenes. They just took a few side steps to form a human wall in front of the secret service.


At midday? Yes it’s solar.


There’s part of me that’s thinking he’s so sure of his analysis, maybe he’s wrong. Especially as he’s a bit of a lone voice. Trouble is, I don’t see how he would be.


…or the McDonald’s.
It certainly broke your bubble when you saw it.


A guy by the name of Geoff Eppstone apparently.
That’s 34atm or about 330m. Nobody is diving that deep on a regular basis. It’s the world record.
You don’t need much from a government, but it doesn’t work with a bunch of thieving criminals.
When you measure something and set it as the goal, what was a good indicator becomes divorced from what you care about.
Measuring GDP makes GDP the goal, not general wellbeing. So if you care about wellbeing, measure it and use that as your driving metric.
