The equator on Mars is significantly warmer than Antarctica.

Nah. Humans aren’t remotely that powerful. We could detonate every nuke on the planet tomorrow and make human life impossible, but in 1000 years the conditions for life would be fine, just the large animals would be extinct. In 1 million years you wouldn’t even know it had happened u less you dug I to the geological record. And 1 million years is like the blink of an eye on the timescale of a planet.

When we learn we aren't building a form a capital; when models learn they are only building a form of capital.

What do you think education is? I went to university to acquire knowledge and train my skills so that I could later be paid for those skills. That was literally building my own human capital.

“The Chaser” is a satire site. This never happened.

“The Chaser” is a satire site. You’re getting really angry over something that never happened.

Unless you’re a game by Bethesda, most people (and most reviewers) are going to assess you at release. If the release is shit, they’re going to stop playing and forget about the game. A patch 12 weeks later won’t help, because everyone has moved on.

The first time I ever rode in a Model 3, I accidentally used the mechanical door handle instead of the electronic one. It’s exactly where a normal door handle is. The driver said it happens all the time.

The brakes in a Tesla are move powerful than the motors. If the guy in China had actually been hitting the brakes, the car could have never reached 150kmh. The chance of a simultaneous failure of the mechanical brakes, the electrical interlocks and the drive software is FAR less likely than the chance the driver was pushing the wrong peddle.

It’s a 3 year term. $1m per house.

Even if you turn them into townhouses at half that price, 30 houses Vs 400,000 new people doesn’t really shift the needle.

Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.

$44m over their term is about 15 houses per year. Considering they plan to bring in 400,000 new migrants per year, I’m not sure defunding women’s sports to build 15 houses is really going to make much of a dent in the housing market.
