Looks waay better than the last time I visited.

I’ve been on these blogs for so long... I remember years ago when you could set a filter on things you didn’t wanna read about. That feature as well as a much better commenting system were nuked when this kinja thing was born.

It’s taking a while, but getting there. I was in Newtok in early 2020. About 1/3 of the population has moved so far, but it’s slow-going. Even if a home is mobile, it’s just hard to move — physically and emotionally — even just the nine miles (it took about 3 hours in the winter for us to get to Mertarvik using snow…

You guys fell for the marketing. A few years ago a buddy and I got into a debate during a trip over his newly purchased “solar powered battery bank” when I told him a panel that small isn’t efficient enough to significantly charge that bank and all it would do is slightly trickle charge it.

He seemed to think that it…

It’s also a good question as to how he’d bend his wrist and elbow when the claws are retracted. They look like they’d extend past the elbow joint.

Oh, and what a brilliant example of circular logic. “We stole your shit, but we’re not going to return it because people are always coming in and stealing your shit!”

It belongs to Egypt. Period. Your complaints are ignorant, paternalistic, racist, and entirely hypothetical. Egypt has good museums, ffs. Don’t advocate for further theft.

You didn’t just waste my time with that question. You wasted dick_run_claire’s time too.

I guess I can't fault you Scamps for making such a Valiant effort 

Yes, there’s differences between the current world and the plot of 1984. But I understand why people whose every waking action is monitored and recorded end up identifying with those characters.

What a well researched and in-depth trash article . Yes, people misuse the term Orwellian all the time. It does not mean in any way shape or form that the surveillance State is not becoming more and more pervasive, less human (and humane as a function) and destructive to society.

Being stuck on a gigantic incubator with people who actively lie about being sick because they paid for a cruise and by God they’re going no matter what? Shit, I’m all about it. Maybe while I’m on the ship it can lose power for a few days or have propulsion and sewage problems. Hell, let’s go whole hog and throw some…

The entire idea of crypto is garbage and I can’t for the fad to pass.

I like your style, anonymous internet commenting person.

Obviously needs to be a sex symbol, fashionable, and charming. There’s really only one brit who pops into mind. Joe Wilkinson.

FWIW aspirin is no longer recommended if you’ve never had a heart attack or stroke. So I guess this polypill would fall in the same category. BTW, wouldn’t all those OTC cold combo pills like Dayquil be considered “polypills?” https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/daily-aspirin-therapy/a…

It isn’t just you. When I first saw the article image, I thought it WAS Tom Hanks.

Is it just me (and this is purely complimentary), but does Jane look a lot like a bearded Tom Hanks? It’s a good look on him!

It would be better as a donor shell for an EV conversion.

I love pics that show the car in its natural habitat — in this case the side of the road.
