Same for me. Watched our whole house at the time slide off the foundation.

I hydroplaned for over a half mile on a straight section of highway doing 100kph. Thought I was going to die, but somehow the car got traction again just before I went off the road. I had 4 friends in the car who all slept through the whole thing.

It's a false equivalency to use the comparison of farmed vs wild with any comparison to lab-grown protein. All your examples involve a living creature that's being restricted in movement, nutrition or some other life experience. Lab grown skips all of that.

Report it to HR and ignore both of them, or if you really feel a need to make an effort to communicate with either of them, respond from your professional email and say, "I would prefer if we keep our interactions professional" and leave it at that.

If that's not enough of a hint for them, you definitely need to escalate with HR.

Arrowhead and/or Sony also messed up by not having the country restrictions setup on the Steam store. Arrowhead knew they were going to be reliant on PSN to handle support tickets well ahead of launch.

Corn to ethanol is already energy negative, why are we going deeper into this fallacy?

Big oil has been the primary force pushing hydrogen, because they make most of it, from cracking fossil fuels products. It's complete green washing.

They're not using electrolysis and water to make hydrogen, they're using power and steam to crack petroleum products into hydrogen.

Hah! It's amazing how many people are still hanging onto the delusion that hydrogen is made from renewables when almost every ounce of commercial hydrogen fuel is made by cracking petroleum products.

And if you aren't planning to vote for Biden, please go read Project 2025 and then explain your logic again, because what Trump and the Christian right has planned will be actual fascism, right in our own backyard.

Living in the US for most of my life, and voting in every election, I can tell you your assumptions are incorrect: a few states control most of the power here due to the electoral college, and everything down to state and local initiatives gets lobbied into the ground by special interests.
