You’re presupposing “cheap and portable” is possible. And imagining the machine’s form factor—” a catalytic converter-style device”—rather than how it could possibly get the job done

Ehh, I don’t see what’s wrong with carbon dioxide removal, especially if the technology can be made cheap and portable enough to add to power plants and, eventually, mobile vehicles. I’m imagining a catalytic converter-style device, but for CO2.

If Twitter had banned Trump at anytime during his first term, he probably would have won re-election.  His Twitter feed was a constant reminder to everyone who disliked him (which was always more than half of the country) of exactly why they disliked him so much, of why it was never ever ever worth giving him even the…

Feel free to rail on Musk all you want in relation to the things you feel he does that are bad.... but let’s also applaud him when he does something good.

Lament the existence of the super-wealthy all you want. Ignore their acts completely if you wish. I simply don’t see the need to discourage beneficial acts regardless of their motives.

Yeah, this article is the equivalent of answering the question “Can I get a ride to the ER? I think something’s wrong” with “Ride? What’s wrong with walking?”.

Can we please stop writing sarcastic articles lampooning rich people when they try to do something good. I understand and respect the desire to point out hypocrisy but every time a super-rich person sets up a noble goal it seems like we try to crap all over it. We suggest that they are not the right person to do this…

I’m with Hawkeyes on this one.

As a fellow data scientist, I applaud her efforts and dedication to the truth of the numbers.

How can we ignore the 800lb gorilla in the room, which is:
The precedent setting new standard for destructive, violent protesting set by the political left all during 45's term?

On Jan 06, I did not see a single statue torn down. I saw no businesses in flames. I saw not a single “maga hat” wearing looter exiting…

I’m a network admin for a school district. We’ve got software on our student devices that scans keywords and photos our google drive for sensitive issues. Suicidal students, kids battling anorexia and too scared to talk to their parents, kids looking up disturbing stuff, drug use, and image scanning for nudity.

That’s Gold right there! Fuckface...ha

I would his former name on first reference, as it’s the entire point of the story.

It’s getting so hard to communicate these days. Every god damned thing you say, write or do is a crime against humanity.

The only guy that’s proud to live in a box under the freeway bridge. Lighten up it’s holiday season.

Am I to understand that you are drawing a link between a challenge coin in the pocket of a Disney security guard and said security guard’s propensity to gun down an unarmed child?

My thoughts exactly. The entirety of human history is conquest, assimilation, and displacement. We might as well just superimpose the starting map from Crusader Kings III onto a modern map of Europe if this is the tack we’re going to take.

I’m so confused.  You care what a security guard at Disney World has in his pocket?

Sorry Celtic people, I know you once dominated all of Europe, but what gets taken by Rome stays taken by Rome.
