but that's never going to happen, it's like the un security council voting that one nation can't veto all the others, they're not going to do it, because that's what a veto means

literal virtue signaling, though if the uber rich were prevented from utilizing private aircraft they MAY decide to back Industrial/Corporate climate change mitigation which is actually where just about all the fossil fuel climate change is emanating from, the effect of private aircraft is literally a pittance and a rounding error

yes, please do explain about the water cycle in and off a desert peninsula surrounded for thousands of miles by nothing but salt water and deserts. you're only going to need to explain it to me once though, lol, don't forget the thermodyanics

When all you've got it money and desert, that's where you build

As it turns out, Earths ecosphere is a close system surrounded by lifeless cold space. One action, begets another equal and opposite reaction. When you reduce the amount of water volume into a system being heated by the sun and underwater thermal vents, that water will get and remain hotter, longer. I mean, who knew, right.

closed system, the less water there is to disperse heat energy it gains from sunlight/underwater vents, the more heat energy the water retains. it's basic mathematics.

 

Fake Bitwarden sites are pushing installers purportedly for the open-source password manager that carry a new password-stealing malware that security researchers call ZenRAT.

The malware is distributed to Windows users through websites that imitate the legitimate Bitwarden site and rely on typosquatting to fool potential victims.

This has been bugging me for a while now, windows 10, new motherboard, HDMI to 4k tv [600 nits], intel uhd on board display adapter running at 60hz, when I play a 1080p encoded video with, for example, Windows Movie and TV app, it plays fine, but when I play the same move or show in a 2160p encoded video it shows so much darker to the point of making it unwatchable. Pulled up the same show, one in 1080 the other in 2160 and took a screenshot, and am attaching it to this post. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The fact I can screenshot it and it looks darker in the screenshot seems to tell me it's not the fault of my TV, but I can't figure out for the life of me, what I would upgrade to allow the 2160p encoded videos to play as bright as the 1080p videos, I know I could mess with the brightness on either the display or the video app, but why should that be necessary (windows Movies and TV app does not have a adjustable brightness, but the "glamour" of the videos it plays beats any other video player out the door, by miles, if you know you know). Cheers.
