The drawback is that you can also have a blue wave if the districts are split too close and the results are 3-5 points higher than expected.

Is this the wrong reply? I guess it is completely unrelated.

Anything mined in space will be used in space. But you can build orbital colonies that are nice. You just need lots of mass to build stuff and have plenty of water and be big enough to rotate.

Yeah, you have millions of old books that nobody wants not even collectors. It's not just popular literature.

If you added a comma after the si, it would be a perfectly valid sentence too.

The lighter ones can be 25-30 lbs.

There's no reason you couldn't have people grow a new Internet that isn't reliant on AWS and cloud flare and other big tech stuff, it's just that it's much easier to do that since it's already there. And you still have the problems with spammers even if you try to move away from capitalism.

FOSS doesn't work as well for everything. But for something like this privacy and not leaking data is more important if you're going to run it on your computer.

That just sounds like you don't want the majority of people to use it. You still only have 4% of desktop users on Linux.

One good reason is for the stealth function which their lower tier planes won't have. A small fleet would still be useful.

And that's been the statement people make every time for the last 15 years. But at a certain point there is only people that accept it and people who will never do so until they die.

Small scale tests have to be done slowly over time, and it's best to do that now at the very least so we have a good grasp of what won't work at scale so we didn't chase means that are less practical.

But the real point is that very few people commenting actually read the article. This was about marine cloud brightening, where they're only making clouds slightly brighter. It's the least offensive option possible that is technically a thing that everybody likes more anyway. People act like mr burns blocking the sun.

The only one that has any real risk is the iron fertilization concept because changing the limited ingredient in an ecosystem could possibly have an effect on the system.
