legend goes that Greta made the guy mad on xitter and he posted a response that also included a picture of himself with a pizza box, and cops knew where to find him because of the brand on the box, but not sure if it was proven true or not

isn't NATO a defensive treaty? which would mean no obligation to participate in actions of aggression?

because saying you'd need to build a power plant for every 72 homes would not make the technology very attractive

it certainly has some 'war is peace, freedom is slavery' (and all that) vibes

Would be nice if they expanded it to all digital goods - to include music, for instance, and things like youtube videos (technically not films or series, as I'm sure somebody at google will point out).

they both come from the chemical name - para-acetylamino-phenol (or, more proper,, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). random people chose different parts to shorten the name

here ya go

this is a thing that happened

Now I just know this article is wrong:

"But explaining things that reside “only in consciousness”—the red of a sunset, say, or the bitter taste of a lemon—has proven far more difficult"

Lemons are sour, damn it, not bitter! Lemons are part of the universe and sour, so any consciousness that perceives them as bitter is not part of the universe. /s

I know your comment was light-hearted in nature, but I'd like to point out from the article:

"Investigators say the Rio Preto-Jacunda reserve is >bordered by ranches with a record of environmental crimes, >including repeated encroachments on the reserve.

Razing protected rainforest for pasture is an illegal but >lucrative business in Brazil, the world's top beef exporter.

The crime often hits remote, hard-to-police nature reserves, >overlapping with other organized criminal activities >destroying the Amazon, including illegal logging and gold >mining."

These are people looking to make a buck with a 'fuck you, got mine' attitude. And it's happening all over the world in grey-areas with regards to law enforcement. Burning down stuff is one of the favoured methods, especially if you can bribe officials to say that it was an accident (as does not seem to be the case here, however so props for that for what it's worth).

The article also mentions death threats by the ones doing the arson towards those against their interests. People are the reason we can't have nice things.

L-Mao?

Funny, but it used to be customary to tip the executioner so he'd ensure a quick and mostly painless death. No tip meant blunt axe or sword or insufficient drop height leading to death by suffocation instead of neck snapping. Maybe for the electric chair it means a dry sponge? The Green Mile comes to mind.

sounds like a... water-boarding school.

ba-dum-tsssst!
