10s of thousands of nothing. Hundreds of thousands isn’t even enough that “economic growth” at the expense of increased costs and greater inequity would be a net benefit.

A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I’d expect it to start showing up in estimates.

And. Yet. Here. You. Are.

And yet here you are.

Don’t give them any ideas. Blueberries and sometimes strawberries are the only thing that’s cheap anymore. Blueberries are cheaper than cereal by a factor of up to 10 (3 cents an ounce frozen or 6 cents an ounce fresh vs 20-30 cents an ounce for cereal). Sure, they’re mostly water and cereal is mostly calories, but the cost of both is dominated by transportation and the blueberries cost more to grow, harvest and handle.

That’s because you’re the victim of a crime: extortion

No, terrible record keeping is exactly what caused this, according to the anonymous whistleblower: warranty work on the door was performed without any records being created for it due to boeing keeping two record keeping systems, one that was the system of record and one that was used as visibility for management.

No, the NTSB said that Boeing hadn’t provided them with the records, not that orders for the reinstallation hadn’t been made. Boeing is now trying to blame the lack of records to follow-up on on employees, even though none of the work should have been possible without the records existing in the first place.

Boeing absolutely shouldn’t be trying to get out ahead of the NTSB investigation with their own deflecting interpretation of what the NTSB has uncovered and shared with Boeing, which is probably along the lines of the anonymous whistleblower from a few months ago who detailed failings in the record keeping process before the senate hearings revealed that Boeing hadn’t provided the NTSB with the records (which according to the anonymous whistleblower didn’t exist because they were never created)

$5k?! A doctor’s visit is $250 for me (insurance doesn’t cover anything until I never reach the deductible). Also there were only like 2 tests totalling 20-ish questions. The hardest part was making an appointment, which I never would have done if I wasn’t also making appointments for other pressing health issues.

about:config is a weird thing to lock behind ditching Firefox and downloading a different browser

Those numbers are colossally lower than what NYC and London came up with for transit buses ages ago (about $1.2 million/£1.7 million). I haven’t looked at the article yet but it’s probably due to the lower use and lower population density.

Silly. The limit should be 0. You can take no gas that you don’t pay for. You can vent/leak no methane except for emergencies, some tiny fraction of leak/well or pipe distance. If you flare gas you have to pay for both the gas you took and the lost utility of the gas to other users.

And that’s not even getting to addressing climate issues.

Before you drive up to Minneapolis, there’s nothing to do there either. Walk/bike along/over the river is probably the best thing, and you can do that in Rochester too.

I don’t think HIPPA applies in Jerusalem.

It’s not a literature review. It’s a case report on a specific patient. It’s impossible to imagine writing a discussion of your own patient in this way, or to accept an approximately 5 page article without reading it.

The journal Radiology Case Reports is refereed by an editorial board led by University of Washington professors, associate professors, and doctors of medicine.

Everyone I’ve ever seen open carry a handgun has been publically abusive of the people they were with (spouse/children) and it was obvious that the open carry handgun was to make sure nobody intervened in their abuse.

I started doing that last year with Joplin on my computer and it’s a big help.

I also keep big notes to just dump everything I’m working on into - websites, pdfs, screenshots, screen video captures with no commitment to organization except I can add things in chronological order. A lot of it is initiated by showing it to someone else and then realizing I should have a note for myself too.

I really should start doing the same with personal stuff and random observations. If something is important enough to tell (or what to tell) other people about it should be important enough to tell my future self about.

It’s crazy how much not experiencing rewards yourself/the inability to do things for yourself influences things I wouldn’t even imagine before understating what ADHD is/does and consciously examining them.

Based on what they’ve done in the past, they’re going to write it off on their taxes when though the titles aren’t even games that they own.

In terms of abilities, there’s problems other people can solve that I never will even with years of study and training, and there are problems I can solve that my immediate peers never would, even with years of study and training.

In terms off knowledge, everybody you meet knows something you don’t. (They might not have the ability to help you find what it is though)

In terms of skills, behaviors it seems like nobody ever considers trying and finding out for themselves, which is endemic across all levels of academia, government, business, and profession, and in that matter they are all as dumb as a bunch of rocks.
