Comment The same scientists that have gotten it wrong (Score 0) 341

over and over again...

They need to drop the panic. It doesn't work. It's always 10 or 20 years out and will be irreversible or gone forever. In 2002, scientists predicted the ice fields on Kilimanjaro would disappear between 2015 and 2020 “if current climatological conditions” persisted. Yet that didn't happen.

Now if they just said there is a trend of warming. You know, coming out of an ice age it's been warming. The glaciers made by that have been melting. okay.

Until then it's all about "give me money". if it was for real solutions they would be worried about pollution in India, china, etc. But I don't see any of these people trying to slow down the growth in those countries. Heck, China was just in the news for building more and more coal plants. If it's a world problem, but only treated as a "here" problem, it's about money and only money.

I own the superbox. I don't watch much TV, so it doesn't see much use, but yes, it has nearly everything. More stations than I know what to do with, all the sports channels if you care about that stuff, video on demand (they're just downloaded torrents) so while most are good quality, some have the weird logos or closed caption forced in, but mostly it all just works.

I do like the live tv rewind feature too. Show started at 5 o'clock and it's 5:20? No worries, just start from the beginning. Not available on everything but the most popular. Stream through your VPN? No problem, it's an android device so just add it.

Again, I rarely use it, but that's mostly because tv today is nothing but crap. But if you want to watch a thousand channels of crap... Well then get one of these and enjoy.

Her find turned out to be one of the biggest intact chunks of amber in the world, according to a report by El Pais. Its value? Somewhere in the region of €1 million – around US$1.1 million.

Researchers warn... blah blah blah. It means they're looking for grant money most likely.

If the panic headline of the day was ever what it was said to be we would all be underwater right now, but that hasn't happened either, and we are well past that "researchers say" warned headline now.

Comment Light Phone 3 (Score 1) 97

I already ordered mine and hope to have it next week.

GPS, E-ink, no apps. Just a phone and SMS. Perfection.

I've been running GrapheneOS for a long long time and love it, but it still allows apps and I just want to get away from any time sucking succubus. Hell, I found that if you even just shut off the alerts you stop using most of the apps.

Take back your lives and ditch the phones that make you look at them when you're bored.

You see, but that's where you're wrong. You are in the extreme minority like it or not, believe it or not. Pretending it's not true is exactly the problem. Here are the numbers from a New York Times poll:

Approximately 79% of Americans oppose allowing transgender girls (biological males) to compete in girls' sports, according to a recent poll. This sentiment is shared across various political affiliations, with 94% of Republicans and 67% of Democrats expressing opposition.

So if this is an issue that even only 33% of democrats "don't care" about or don't think is an issue, you are in the minority and too far left from most people in this country. While you may think it doesn't matter, the rest of the democrats don't agree with you.
