It sure is a pity that there's not multiple types of evidence from biological and geological data that corroborates and extends thermometer readings.

Oh wait, there is.

Let me save you the effort of your predictable reply: "I don't believe any of it. It's all bullshitt!!!!!!! Naah naah!!!"

Comment Re:Tesla Drives think they're playing Mario Cart (Score 1) 71

98% of traffic problems on highway 17 are caused by dipshits who should never be allowed to use the left lane. 1% are caused by that one dip in the fast lane on the EB side that they don't seem to be able to fix ever. The remaining 1% are caused at the first exit on the inland side when it's busy.

Before Teslas even existed I was passing the clowns who don't know what a passing lane is for on the right on the 17. The only meaningful difference between then and now is that there's more drivers, including more of those clowns. Well, that and that the speed limit used to be 65, so more competent drivers could make it over the kill. Of course, it was killing incompetents, so they reduced the limit and we all have to suffer. This is what happens when you design your nation around the car.

Comment Re:Maybe the Marshal Islands should go nuclear (Score 1) 18

This great conflation of fission power generation with nuclear weapons is the reason the only realistic solution to climate change is sitting on a dusty shelf.

Historically, any given nation's level of interest in the former has been strongly correlated with their desire to develop the latter. It's been means to an end.

Why are we so predisposed to falling for this hype cycle?

The people without hope gave up and died.

The people with too much hope are suckers.

The people with just enough hope to succeed but not enough to be suckers took control of the system and manipulated it in ways that make people into suckers, and make suckers into bigger suckers.
