There’s a chance that Musk has bought himself enough influence to turn conservatives on climate change. I don’t know if I expect it, exactly, but there’s a chance at a scenario where there is at least some progress there.

Granted Musk will mostly use it to enrich himself, but if he at least stops then from repealing green subsidies and the like, that’s movement in the right direction.

I wonder if this has anything to do with ThePosterDB going down recently

“Ewoks Caravan of Courage”? “Star Wars Holiday Special”?

You can say it’s all fun. You can even say you like it all.

I even like the sequel trilogy over the prequels (because I’m of a certain age).

But not sure about “all” Star Wars being “great”.

Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.

Is there another one besides the one made in 2008? That fits your description of people walking out and it being French, but clearly that’s not where the rating system came from given that ratings started in 1968.

Sitting on the floor and building whatever I wanted with the, maybe 800, Lego bricks I had.

They’d still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL

I can’t think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth’s population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.

Edit: I didn’t really think of GotG as “Avengers”, but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they’re somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don’t know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I’d assume he’s in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).

It’s been done before (though not intentionally at first), at the Salton Sea.

And the results weren’t that bad (granted possibly a smaller scale than some are imagining when they forecast doom).

But the problem is any deserts are deserts for a reason: lack of rainfall and/or natural inflow from rainwater upstream. The result is that you have to keep pumping in tons of water and/or rely on agricultural runoff which is nutrient-depleted and usually full of chemicals.

Read the rest of the linked article for what’s going on with that one.

You can basically roll your own private one with Plex running PlexAmp. You can even share it with friends (or family or whoever… Based on your interpretation of the laws in your area)

It’s not decentralized, and you have to bring your own music, but it’s something.
