I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

Nearly all land near small runways and airports that fly planes using AvGas will have lead contamination. That’s because lead is still used in most aviation fuels a consumer plane would use. Runways are also required to have and use PFAS in firefighting foam for emergencies. Training and system tests will dump that stuff in the surrounding area.

Unless these fine folks have A380s they’re paying a hefty premium for lead exposure and PFAS in their water and soil.

I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.

I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.

He’s so wealthy he could personally go to your neighborhood and “Mansa Musa” your place into inflation. He could just drop $10,000,000 per person to get up and leave whatever square mile surrounding your residence right now.

Assuming avg population density for a city in the US that’s only $2.8billion (~280 ppl/mile in cities). Not even a scratch to his total net worth.

A single person with that much wealth and power doesn’t require any attention to retain it. He’ll keep coming out on top because it’s nearly impossible not to when you reach a large enough number.

Most people with jobs do have to open office documents frequently.

Republicans don’t care if you can’t use your fans, they only care that you keep buying them.

We are only consumers to feed corporate profits in their equations.

Yeah, her and her ilk are making it so we won’t get to be as old as her. Recent generations have shorter life expectancies than previous.

So, yeah, not lookin likely there chief.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???

Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?

Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.

In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.
