Ah, but ICBMs have a response time of 25 to 30 minutes. So we simply need to remove the warheads and replace them with horny people. This would have the additional benefit of advancing nuclear disarmament.
Of course there would need to be a way to safely decelerate the payload and land at the destination, but that’s just details.
These are the only comments in that thread that mention the word “hot” or “summer”:
Seeing as how it has been around for 5 years now it seems to me that we have seen how it goes.
Though that doesn’t stop some people from running to the comments section to type the first thing that pops into their head.
I guess it must depend on what model hardware you’re running.
I wouldn’t say it was “fundamentally” founded in democracy when originally only white property owning men could vote.
In more concrete terms, if I can buy Diablo 2 (pay fixed cost), get a really good item drop (random chance value outcome), and sell my Steam account to someone who wants that item (money in, money out), why would that be different than that same flow with a loot box?
One potential difference is that you can play Diablo 2 as many times as you want.
So, its a lot less like inserting a coin to buy a chance at a capsule machine and a lot more like buying the whole machine. With every copy of the machine having the same capsules inside it. In your analogy you can say the previous owner already got a few capsules out, but you can also open the machine if you want and put them back inside, or change the machine’s contents.

Does anyone know what this Stingray is trying to do?
Is it accustomed to people feeding it and trying to get his attention?
I think in English there is also:
I don’t really know anything about linguistics, but these seem like the categories to me. In addition to the “alludes to the sexual impropriety of the subject (if female) or the subject’s mother (if male)” category.
Which grain do you like the most, wheat, rice, or corn?
Modern CPUs are pipelined, meaning that the clock signal doesn’t have to propagate across the entire chip each tick. Instead the subsections act like a bucket brigade, with each one handing the results of the partially completed work to the next stage.
There is a limit to how small these subsections can be practically made due to pipeline length and the formation of “bubbles” on instruction branching that take time to clear. Eventually the cost of these bubbles outweighs the gains made from more pipeline stages.
So, if a 6502 or a Z80 were smaller than a single pipeline stage in a modern processor it could potentially have an even higher clockrate, albeit while doing massively less work per clock cycle. Though thermals might be a bottleneck before clock propagation is. Very small but extremely hot spots can be a problem in modern CPU design, with parts of e.g. the ALUs rising to unacceptable temperatures even as all the silicon around them is relatively cool. IIRC some Intel CPUs actually have instructions that are only able to be executed a limited number of times per second for this reason.
So an extremely small, extremely fast/hot 6502 might not have a much faster clockrate than a modern chip.
India, despite having over 4 times the population of US, actually produced slightly more than half as much CO2
Sounds like people in the US shouldn’t have kids then.

What it says to people is basically that they have no responsibility and shouldn’t make any change.
There’s always been a sort of false dichotomy about this. On the one hand there’s this idea that climate change can be solved by individual consumer choices and personal responsibility. On the other there’s the idea that the average person can continue on with their life exactly as before if we just fix things “behind the scenes”.
IMO the reality is that climate change mitigation requires systemic top-down change, but that change is going to affect people’s lives. In some ways for the better and some ways for the worse. The kind of “individual choices” we need people to make is to choose not to throw a hissy fit when their local government removes a car lane.
This guy doesn’t look that old.
Modern ICE cars aren’t really any different in that regard.
Alchemists (correctly) observed that everything in the world was subject to disorder and decay as time progressed, but noted that gold seemed to be immune to this effect (since it is highly resistant to oxidation). Add into that the belief system that they were working with:
That everything in the world exists on a chain of being from the most corrupt at the bottom to the most noble on top (with god being most high).
That everything is really the same thing, and through physical processes changes its form, including up and down the chain.
And they belived that if they could figure out how to transmute a lesser metal into a more noble one then they could probably move other things up the chain of being as well. Which is why the Philospher’s Stone was supposed to make people unaging and immortal, and cure all disease, in addition to transmuting lesser metals into gold. Alchemists like John of Rupescissa probably belived that creating the Stone would also bring the world closer to the divine in some way, and it was god’s wish for mortals to do this.
The idea that everything that businesses do is as efficient as physically possible and the executives are all mega geniuses that are incapable of making bad decisions (or are even incentivized to make good decisions) is untrue.
COBAL is not the greatest programming language to ever be invented. It, and the various pieces of dogshit software that companies collectively shell out billions for every year, are used because they are entrenched in their respective industries and corporate structures, not because of their brilliant design.
