If there’s one thing I know about Google, it’s that they can be trusted to keep their promises and support things for a long time

it also raises a scenario where a big solid asteroid has a very soft outer coating of debris.

You can audit them all to hell, it’s not going to change their deal. Until the government starts either taxing loans leveraged with stocks and/or options or taxing the liquidible value of said stocks and/or options, these fuckers will never pay anything close to what they should be paying. I’m not talking about this…

The people who could afford whatever this ends up costing already own jets. Maybe not as fast, but at least they have the trip to themselves on their own schedule.

Counterpoint, While that energy while contributing some heat could help offset carbon based energy that has contributed to the earths rapid inability to regulate on it’s own, I am not as optimistic that is even remotely likely that it will.

That is super interesting, and I’m glad you posted it. I’d like to switch from gas to induction, but it would require an expensive electrical process to do so. This would eliminate that hurdle.

It’s-a me, Mario, and Afeela like-a this-a name-a sucks-a!

Vingroup has businesses all over Vietnam. You might buy groceries at VinMart and clothing at VinPlaza.

988 is the national suicide and crisis lifeline.
