Drive thru. This is actually a common spelling in the US.

I find it fascinating that electricity is fast enough that this is a thing. You would never get this wrong with water, and if you did things wouldn’t work right, but electricity is basically instant.

I’d rather the five released ASOIAF stay as they are, perpetually unfinished than anything close to the hatchet job that was the GoT show ever be released in book. For me, sometimes just finishing isn’t enough. The books > than the show 10,000 times.

It is a fox with some long long legs! Neat!

There is a problem of lag. By the time temperatures are high enough to force the economy to stop, the amount of CO2 will be sufficient to continue pushing the temperature up considerably.

All of the people here saying Backyard Scientist is better should check out his latest video.

Also Gaza is the size of basically just one neighborhood inside of Kiev alone. The scale of two the conflicts are so massively different. Many Americans I’ve discussed this with have no idea how much bigger Ukraine is.

Maybe nuclear winter doesn’t sound so bad anymore…

Not OP, but it’s really not hard to find.

I think all you need to know about this guy is the Vatican asked him to resign a few days ago and he said no. You do not say to no to that sort of thing! He absolutely knew they would remove him and instead of going quietly he said no to make it a big thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for office, or starting his own break off sect of “true Catholics” soon. Good riddance.

Geraldine Largay, “Inchworm”, was a hiker who went missing off the Appalachian Trail in Maine and died in 2013. It took two years for them to find her body, and it was found only a couple of miles from the trail. Those woods are so thick. If he’s dead if could be a long time until he is found.

And yet the US federal government taxes income earned outside of the US.

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

We don’t get many declarations of war these days. Usually they are just special military actions, or security operations, or something like that. What makes this different?

I said Capitol… that word isn’t unique to DC.

I read it as Austin at first also. The headline is a bit ambiguous, wish it said which Capitol.

In theory the Pope has such powers, but technically he is the first among equals. It would only make things worse if he started acting like a dictator purging bishops that don’t agree with him. There is already a strong, “not my Pope” movement in the US, hence this article. He doesn’t want to drive those people further away. His goal is unity not division.

Feels much more true on Android than Windows in my experience.
