That seems like a pretty sterile way to describe it.
Right now, in the (presumably) developed US, 1 in 5 children don't have enough food, 3x the amount during 2008. That's a result of years of policy choices, but one particularly policy choice caused it to spike. If there's a resource buffer, it's not buffering.

Lockdowns might save lives, and I can't blame public health officials for protecting their community, but I personally fear more lives will be lost due to economic costs. They just might be poorer, quieter lives. And while death is, of course, final, suffering in life should count for something too.

Our leaders have deemed that even curbside pickup is far too dangerous, so Amazon is the only shop in town.
1) refund every ticket as required and run out of money immediately
2) do whatever they can to have some operating capital, and maybe continue existing until summer 2021-ish when live music is once again legal, then deal with a lawsuit in a time when courts are once again operating
I loathe Ticketmaster, so #1 seems fine to me, but I get their decision as a business. Honestly even #2 seems like a hail mary.
Like... with your hand? Not in a glove that you throw out immediately? I just can't fathom touching a door handle.
I saw someone just open a door at a public place the other day and it was utterly baffling to see.
What else do you want from me? Do I really have to spend every moment watching the slow train wreck from every angle? COVID is covered literally everywhere, you can't not see it.
The good is just maybe not falling into total depression, alcoholism, or worse.

NASA is still thinking whether to allow Boeing to proceed with its first manned flight to prevent delays or to require the company to successfully complete an unmanned flight first.
Yeah, it's probably fine now. I mean, ugh, look at all these passing tests!
It's staggering to me that Boeing is confident enough to not want another unmanned fight. After all this, you really want to roll the dice again?
100m? For real?
> Burying them doesn't sound very green.
Why do I care if something doesn't sounds green? Tell me an actual consequence.
Not saying you're wrong about the dates but... I dunno... seems like an odd query. "Phone to buy?" And why not just search Reddit?
This site feels like we're just complaining about nothing these days. (Downvote away!)
This is an off-the-cuff remark turned into a clickbait headline for a fairly bland article.
But, this isn't a nice car- I paid $6,500. I'm just comparing it to every ICE car I've driven (aside from that one time I got 20 minutes in a Lamborghini), and definitely every ICE car you can purchase used for $6,500.
But given the acceleration and smoothness, I'm just betting it's more fun to drive than nearly every car described in commercials fun to drive.
John likes fast cars. And oh boy my Nissan Leaf is fun to drive! Mountain driving feels like floating silently into the air. Instant torque, no gear shifting.
John may also appreciate the extra leg room, as even a compact car gains a lot of room without a gas engine.
John also likes saving money and convenience. And while gas isn't super expensive, I wake up every morning with a full charge for about $1. Gas stations just aren't a part of my life. (charging away from home is still a PITA, FWIW)
John might also like skipping the majority of standard maintenance. No oil changes. No random belts. Less brake wear (I think?) from regeneration. Sure, after 100k you'll probably want a new battery, but it's a known cost that's dropping.
Maybe EVs need to drop the 'environmental' badge and focus on how awesome they are.
But, do what you want with that anecdote (toxic, wasteful, unsustainable, etc)
Check out jisho.org- it will translate and call out sentence structure, and is clearer about assumptions.
I almost wish Google Translate provided a confidence measure.
What the heck are you cooking?!
They might not know the right libraries to use, but would probably know there are libraries, have a good concept of application design in general, and know how to ask the right questions. And we're hoping to hire someone for years.
Were the folks at NOAA allowed to publish this? Did they have to clear it by someone? Did anyone get fired?
And if other countries have it and it prevents yours from 'staying competitive', important people pay attention.
And if that civic approach doesn't work, some rich farmer tells his senator buddy on a hunting trip that he wants Starlink to watch Netflix in the woods, and the senator tells the regulator to make it happen.
I've been told that the plastic companies would prefer to burn it for energy for disposal, the idea being that it was destined to be energy, and that path had a short detour as a cup. Not saying its a great plan, but it's a plan that let's them sell more plastic.
I should have never left C.
