the fact that they don't really exist yet?

but where are we gonna go to get live status updates on the issue??

What is it with functional languages and people naming their variables with single letters? If I wrote some python code like that I'd be laughed out of the room

The US is too big to make crossing it by train (even high speed) plausible when airplanes are a thing. High speed trains proved successful in medium distances. It sounds reasonable for California (LA-…

Yes, that's what psychological addiction is. Make no mistake though, chemical addiction is very real. Alcohol withdrawals can be fatal

>They could have stuck with a micro-B charger Somebody here said they were running into the maximum rated current for the port >or a custom charger Literally everyone would have complained

It sounds like a big quake could solve the housing issues

Alright, I'll bite. Does anybody issue insurance for the reinsurers?

I never mentioned the US.

Great. Coal mining could have gone in the forty years ago if nuclear had replaced coal. But I guess it was too dangerous, so now we get to live the hottest years on record. Yay for safety, everybody t…

Looking at the conversation here, I'd like to see some stats correlating average/high temperatures and AC use. According to wikipedia, average summer highs in Paris are only a couple of degr…

>Growing up everyone around me saw the city as somewhere you begrudgingly went out of necessity and only lived there if you had no choice I assume you grew up in the United States?

I don't think this is a very good argument. Anti-vaxxers care about their children very much, and therefore they DON'T vaccinate them, since they think it's bad for them. From their poi…

Exactly. You can't rely on the radiation itself as a deterrent.

That's insane. You're basically putting somebody in a cruel and miserable existence with the expectation that they commit suicide, for the sole purpose of keeping your hands clean. I find it…
