Every woman deserves that. I'm happy for you.

Your ideas never disappoint, and I envy your creativity with leftovers.

Just like it's not fascism when governments "invest" in large corporations. I see where you're going with this.

It may be that humans are no better than those extinct aliens you imply. Oh well.

There's surprisingly much a person has to learn in order to actually do those jobs well. The fact that you can learn those skills while working doesn't exactly make them unskilled.

Yup, I don't understand that. Cats get predated out there, and you can't simply contain them with a fence. That's not a pet, it's bait for feral coyotes. You really don't want coyotes lurking about in your neighbourhood, do you? Why supply them a reason?

You and me both. Nearly half of Americans can't find their country on a world map even though it's right there next to the Gulf of America. 🤣

At least as a Brit, you understand that Canada shares the nearest border with the US. I can't be sure if roughly half of Americans wouldn't be wondering why she wanted into Canada as opposed to any other nation, and if they can't understand the humour, then this is just insulting to them.

Sagan mentions a 15 μm wavelength (12.4 - 17.6 μm) at which CO₂ absorbs particularly well. CO₂ has other absorption spikes at 1.5 and 3 μm, but these are a small portion of the totality of IR, which ranges from 0.7 - 1000 μm. The air may appear "black" at certain wavelengths, but far from all.

Little does he realize that travesty was the work of the last dad who stayed in that same hotel room. It's always a good idea to locate hotels near home improvement stores for this very reason.

"Let God sort 'em out" seems to be the mantra of choice. It's amazing how easily a few words can turn infinite compassion into stone-cold indifference.

Much of what Carl Sagan said is oversimplified to the point of being factually incorrect. The answer is that the air isn't black in the infrared portion of the EM spectrum. If it were, then the air could not absorb any more than it already does, and the theory of AGW would be already unfounded.

These days "head cleaner" can only have a much darker meaning like most everything else.

Hopefully, the next disillusioned high school grad comes with a scope and a longer barrel.

Yes, but that isn't something Carney invented, and if it's superior, then the market will squeeze out conventional building practices without the government giving grants to homebuilding corporations owned by wealthy people. This "investment" is fascism rebranded. I'm not in favour.

I'm simply not convinced. You can't build more efficient homes without either reducing their size or adding to their cost. Green energy is like that, expensive up front paying back over decades. The former is not what the market demands, and the latter works against affordability.

I think today's great sadness is watching so-called Christians actively breaking the 2nd commandment by invoking God's authority to assert some fabricated moral code upon others purely as a manipulation tactic rather than defending others' agency in a supposedly free society.

They shaved them all bald, and now they can't tell them apart. Worse still, they all say they're Garcia. You didn't expect them to tattoo numbers on their forearms, did you?

I'm not able to come up with anything -- nothing I think is good enough to reply with anyways. Must be the performance anxiety. Yeah, that's it!

The price of eggs the restaurant mixes in with the beef has forced them to increase their prices. This could be the last meal this dainty man can afford. Shrinkflation strikes again!

documents. It would seem to me that the very thing ALL oppressive regimes do universally is deny the very humanity of their victims.

It's kind of funny (and perhaps not) that in the 30 Articles the UN has in its Charter of Universal Human Rights, not one is the right to be documented as a human being. I understand many Palestinians are denied basic documentation like birth certificates, which interferes with acquiring all other

I think if force were used, you'd want it to hit it in the right spot. It's hard to imagine anything other than riots and looting, and what does that accomplish?

I can't help but think that if the issue were important enough to them, they would have move a couple mountains to get that security in place. I'm sorry for your last-minute silencing.

that most every business is breaking even or better because the ones that aren't get eliminated, and that's the side that's being competely ignored when people are trying to equivocate trade deficits with debt.

create greater value just as the profitability that is enabled by having a trade deficit is often not directly traceable either.
There is no linkage between trade deficits and debt. Debt occurs when an organization spends more money than it brings in. One can reason with a fair bit of certainty

having a supply of inputs and labour to convert into more valuable goods and services. If anything, trade deficits are a characteristic of an apex economy.
So you see, the problem with managing a business toward profitability is that it's difficult to account for how labour and inputs combine to
