Why is it always a conspiracy?

Why is it so hard to think that two people might really disagree with your constant bullshit? There isn't collusion there, just correlation - your nonsense is the common link.

This is exactly why I don't run Windows outside of a virtualized environment I can snapshot any more. Their stupid bullshit that they reapply with every update that breaks my working config has wasted so much of my time, it was faster and easier to figure out how to use IOMMU to get hardware directly into the VM and use ZFS snapshotting to instantly revert whatever stupidity they are forcing on people this week.

Next step: completely fuck off Windows for good. The last thing I use it for is gaming, and I just made a SteamOS VM using the same IOMMU technique so I can quickly flip back and forth.

Hopefully by this time next month, I don't have a single install of Windows in my house, other than my wife's work laptop. And she has an IT department for dealing with that piece of shit.

Hey, it's a "moral agreement" between a bunch of billionaires that at best can be described as amoral douchebags.

What could possibly go wrong?

This might come as a galloping shock, but if you can read it, you can copy it.

Sony isn't using some magic proprietary storage devices that can only ever be read by their system.

So it has enough RAM to boot Windows and give you an out of memory error.

Brilliant!

And a lot of them are just douchebags.

Somehow I got reported for "inciting violence" by inviting a public official to "jump up his own ass and die" - which is quite literally impossible to do, and also a line from a late 90s sitcom - if it's good enough for broadcast TV, how is it ban-worthy on a shitty forum aggregator?

I appealed the ban, which in the most opaque "process" I've ever seen, and the appeal was denied. So I decided that they can go fuck themselves right then and there. I don't have time for such useless snowflake behavior and tone policing when it's clearly not a legitimate report to begin with.

I do just fine without Reddit.

Which has what to do with coastal erosion on the west coast? You know the Mississippi is on the other side of the continental divide from California?

There is historical record of this happening for decades that highly correlates with El Niño. For fucks sake.

So you don't understand the relationship between snowpack, and how that feeds water into reservoirs across the year? And you are calling ME a fool?

Let me explain it with small words to give you the best shot at understanding:

Frozen water stays where it is, until it's no longer frozen. Liquid water moves and doesn't stay where it is. And when warm rain hits frozen water, that frozen water doesn't stay frozen.

What is the effect on hydro power? Dams can only hold so much water at a time. If it all arrives at once, they open spillways to let it through. If it comes over time, it can be held in behind the dam and used to generate electricity.

As it turns out, snow pack is an important reservoir, and less snow means less water in reserve.

Next time try thinking before insulting. Jumpin Jesus.

If you are working with an operating system that isn't painfully behind for this kind of thing: option+n, n.

If you are:
(Windows) Hold Alt and type 164 for lowercase ñ, or 165 for uppercase Ñ (or use 0241 for ñ and 0209 for Ñ)
(Linux) Press Ctrl + Shift + U at the same time, release, then type 00f1 (for ñ) or 00d1 (for Ñ) and press Enter or Space.

Getting into an accident doesn't mean being the cause of it.

And yet we are still seeing new records for climate trends identified decades ago (El Niño).

Not sure what point you are trying to make. Solar irradiance is more or less the same; what is changing is how much we trap.

Yes, let's distill what's happening down in a massively lossy algorithm where you completely ignore all of the following:

1. more rain in southern California means more soil erosion in southern California.
2. more rain in southern California means less snow in the Cascades, which means worse fire seasons in the Pacific Northwest next year.
3. less snow in the Cascades means less water in the hydroelectric reservoirs on the Columbia River, which means more natgas burning for the same energy output. This means more expensive energy up and down the entire west coast.

Try to think a little more.

Way to completely ignore the effect water temperature has on where sharks swim.

That's a nice summary of El Nino effect on Western USA, but the real issue will happen in South Asia and Pacific regions, in which draughts of epic proportions are predicted, bringing food insecurity to some of the most populated countries on this planet.

And the more you measure, the more you find! Aren't you already worried by last year's numbers? Why ask for this year's?

So you are a fertilizer-denier? You don't seem to see the value that soil plays. Here's a hint: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium uptake happens in the roots.
