Comment Re:Hydroelectric dams (Score 1) 23

What part of "8 years" did you skip ? It means that after that there won't be much ice left and the flow of water will go down. So just the time left and they will be useless. In reality the water that feed the dams is seasonal: the winter snow that melts in spring and the autumn/spring rains; melting old glacier ice is a drop in the bucket compared to that. In the Alps in the last few years they've actually been removing more dams than building new ones: mainly small unproductive ones, but also in order to have fish come back to the rivers.

I lived in the US in the past, and I still come for vacation and to climb in Yosemite and Utah every once in a while, but you can bet your ass I won't show up if I have to give my passwords and prove I did not disparage 'Dear Leader'. Indeed, I'll even say it here for the record: Trump is a piece of shit, a pedo, a conman, a rapist, a felon; and his entire administration is corrupt to the bone. Here.

It should be easier to change the font and font size on a website. Yeah, I know you can force a custom CSS and shit, but it's complicated and often doesn't work. It doesn't really matter on desktop, but it pisses me off on phone browsers when characters are so tiny you can't read them and can't enlarge them.

What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?

*scenario*

"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."

"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."
