LOL! ya … GOOD choice!

That walking molecule … amazing discovery, WANT to know MORE!

If your reasoning is entirely based in evidence available to everyone else, that’s about as trustworthy as you can get. The less people know about it (or the more they’ve already been misinformed about it by people they -did- trust), the more likely they will not follow your reasoning.

That, for example, is why it took Tesla years to get anyone to help him build the first AC motors and generators … including Edison. Most either knew little about it or were already convinced that it couldn’t be done.

Solar/wind & batteries will become so cheap nothing else will be able to stay in business. Already happening. Smart investors all going there.

I check a hatfull of old links -every day- (a sort of hobby), and am constantly surprised to see all they’ve stashed away there.

Recommend their browser extension for that. If you come across a page that fails to load, it will tell you if it -knows- people have asked it save a copy. If not, and you paste the failed URL into the ‘Search URL’ box, there’s about a 2 in 3 chance you will come up a winner.

If you land on a working page that you really like, and it doesn’t have a memory of it, it will -usually- save it for you if you click on -Save Page Now-. Yeah, that’s YOU backing up the good stuff.

Lately I’ve seen stuff going back as far the late 90s. One of my most-useful extensions… and there’s a lot out there worth saving!

I see quite a bit of humanity in many answers. Keep in mind a sample of people who choose to hang out here instead out there in the rat races (e.g. the Big R)

Are you say its only the water temperature that matters, then? Is yer last name ‘Kelvin’ by any chance?

That’s the trouble with electrics … once you buy one, you feel compelled to use it to get your money’s worth, ammiright?

Anyway, a true purist wud NEVER use an electric, wud tha? It’d been over a nice smoky hearth to give it that tang, like figgy puddin’.

Sooo … that’d be bad, then?

I’ve doon thot several times now. And so I -almost always- remember to check that the left digit on the timer is one.

In the US, if you go to the store and ask where are the tea towels are, they’ll look at you funny, then suggest you look in the T-shirt department.

I’m not a commie, and if god forsook me, how would I know?

OTOH, I still mostly only drink Red Rose and Tetley, and given enough steep time … say 10 or 15 minutes … they’re not so nasty. And I was born -next- to Canada, so I can’t be -too- disabled.

PHew. I feel so much better now that AI’s are working on the problem.

I started hearing about climatologists leaving the US and moving to Scandanavia about 10 years ago.

Did you notice that the currents in the southern oceans have reverse directions, bringing up more CO2 from the deep waters?

Oh sure. Belief is always sweet than science.

“Uhhhh would that mean … I’d have to stop driving my car?”

"It seems that we live in a very dark time, and we do. The human race has been on a very destructive path for quite a while, and we have these hideous weapons and hideous powers that can turn that destructive path into true cataclysm.

But at the same time, an awakening is occurring and that awakening is being leveraged through the internet. It’s a consciousness awakening all around the world. And it’s that awakening of consciousness that the best hope for the future of humanity lies. - Graham Hancock

“If we are indeed in the glitchiest of timelines, remember we have collective will. Collective authorship. We are not beholden to the nightmares of those men of old who envisioned the world in extraction and pain.”  -  Zoe Todd

It’s so unbelievably cold out there, gases tend to liquify, liquids become solids.
