Oh shit this is precious AF, keep going with your absolute proof that your reading comprehension skills are shit.

A real lightweight could get quite tipsy on a single Big Little Thing tall boy, 19.2 oz, 9.5% ABV. They're like four bucks at my local grocery outlet, too.

I used to have a fairly unfortunately serious drinking habit, but I've scaled back, and one of these gets me a nice buzz on. And I'm a big dude.

I also genuinely enjoy IPAs, while I would generally rather not drink a Pilsener and despise sours. But I'm not mad at people who want to drink those other beers, and a lot of people think an IPA tastes like Pine-Sol. People should let people like things, yeesh.

It's a formerly very common slang word in English, which you wouldn't know about, Ivan. Thanks for outing yourself, though. I honestly appreciate it.

The money "the industry" puts down for decommissioning never covers the cost and we always have to make up the difference.

Lives are saved, and lives are lost. But more importantly and validly than doing the math on the net, we should talk about whether we have alternatives now. For some purposes, no. For most purposes, yes. Therefore we can reduce our use of fossil fuels, and we should, because it will save still more lives. The debate is not over whether we ever should have started burning fossil fuels, because we could not have gotten here without them. It's about how quickly we can and should stop.

The health system is a problem, the diet is a problem, but the pollution is also a problem. Pretending it is not is literally insane, and it benefits no one except the owners and investors of the fossil fuel industry — and even for them there are significant negative effects.

Here's where I found out I hated the author:

Yeah, it's working, so he should stop it? Man, fuck that fucking fuck. More importantly though, that sentence proves conclusively that he should not stop it, because it's working. In short, the very same thing the author says before the above-quoted turd.

Tell me you read things into the comment that I didn't write without telling me.

There's no planet B.

I see you didn't RTFA.

Now that is an example of the kind of comment I wish I had written myself. A+, would read again.

hahahahAHhAHAHAHaHahhAhaHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

You are such a buffoon, please tell me more.

Says the guy without the karma bonus.

The GP argument was ignorant and dismissive, and with his closing statement, borderline racist too. Is that the Slashdot you want? And if so, why? Looking at your posting history, I find no sign that it is, so I find your response confusing. We should not tolerate that level of ridiculous fuckery, so I subject it to ridicule. We should be using our brains here, not defending a status quo which is literally threatening our existence.

You can be against the ongoing dominance fossil fuels and also not be for crashing world economies, or going back to living in a cave. There is little to no chance that we would stop their use all at once, or even completely, but we absolutely do have ways to dramatically reduce it which would do harm only to those who have been willfully selling out our collective future by destroying the biosphere upon which we depend for life so that they can have third or even tenth yachts.

A response like this is wasted on someone who can prop up a straw man without irony, and dismisses the impact of this lifestyle on the already disadvantaged. I suspect that you can appreciate it, and hope my suspicion is correct. But I cannot comprehend why you would think that we should coddle people who turn their brains off at the door. They help make Slashdot grate.

No need to tell us you don't understand the argument, we knew that already.

Sometimes, the void stares into you.

There is a lovely Venn diagram meme running around with two circles, "Incel" and "Excel". The overlap is labeled "Incorrectly assuming something is a date".

Having to paste, change formats, and paste again is part of the ritual of using Excel. Nobody should be using it for science-ing when they could use a database and a real reporting tool, it's irritating enough when handling financial info. I used to be paid to use Crystal Reports. These days when I want to view some data, I use Drupal, and a fairly simple Perl script I wrote (based mostly on example code) which examines CSV files and imports them into Postgres. Drupal modules views_database_connector, charts, and geocoder are also very handy. For more voluminous geocoded data I use QGIS.

I assume you performed a double blind test with a statistically significant sample size to verify this. How many assholes did you taste in the process?
