Comment Two steps (Score 2) 112

1) absolutely demand right to repair - the idea that units which may be in FUCKING COMBAT need to call a service tech is unbelievably stupid.
2) find out who approved this contract AND FIRE THEM.

The contract needs to go away, and anyone in the DoD who agreed to this is literally not doing their job in a way that could ostensibly cost lives. This level of incompetence not only can't be tolerated, there have to be actual consequences.

Originally there were two tiers of cable channels: the "bundled" ones like ESPN, CNN, etc (those have pretty much always had commercials, they were just like additional tv stations), and "premium" channels like HBO and Showtime, which you specifically had to pay an additional monthly fee for. Those premium channels were free of external commercials (ie they would promo their own shows, etc but this was confined to between shows, never within them) until at least what the mid 90s? Later?

According to the hurricane poeple, it is. I'm just using your approach.

All the data globally show ABSOLUTELY no trend increasing in severity (ACE) nor frequency; the bedwetting about warming and hurricanes is *all based on North Atlantic zone data*.
Funny, no? Are you agreeing then that it's ridiculous to talk about a Global Climate Change concern based on regional data alone?
Which way would you like to have it? Pick one.

Yes, we're at a high, but not an unusual one.
We had similar CO2 levels at 120kya, 220kya, 350, 410, etc.
There is substantial argument that we were verging on CO2 starvation for plants; note that greenhouse keepers routinely pump CO2 into their greenhouses increasing concentrations to 800-1200 ppm...why, again?
Global agricultural productivity is at an all time high in the industrial era.

The impact of CO2 on warming is a diminishing-returns curve - even doubling co2 concentrations is quite small, increasing radiative forcing by ~3W/m2 which enhances greenhouse efficacy by barely 1%.
