There's conflicting information in the article between the reporter's own opinions within the same sentence ... but it seems more un-informed/biased than insincere. Its a painful topic for anyone looking at it through any lense short of sheer greed.

Choose your poison. This is the same reason sewage treatment plants and land-fills have these flares setup. The methane IS that much (exponentially)worse than the CO2 and other by-products of burning it, and not just for the smell and health effects. There are plants(leafy kind, not factories) and other ways for mitigating the CO2.

For methane, your best options are to burn it(full-stop) or leave it in the ground(maybe put it back... 🙄 ). The rest of the the sentence in the screenshot is just ... incoherent and self-contradictory at best.

My first reaction to the headline was, "Hey, these assholes consider mitigation too expensive(where clean coal fails, according to their own bean-counters, nevermind the obvious realities against it), BUT THEY CAN BOTHER WITH THESE SHENANIGANS?"; However, burning/breaking down methane and other complex/harmful chemicals would be a first step in any in-place mitigation scheme.

The BEST first mitigation step is of course to just close these things down entire, so I'm done quibbling with the headline,

Here's hoping you're right.

Title is misleading: they seem to be succeeding at it, not just "hitting on" women. Its alarming, not just sad and disgusting.

There are "crops" that do just fine under/around solar panels to. Think flowers, herbs, and green leafy vegetables. Not the easilly machine cultivated and harvested cash-cows corporate farmers insist upon, but that technology, too, is being worked on.

Almost all the arguments against green technology revolve around "money printer go brr, how dare force us to put some money back into changing how it works when we would rather throw bodies into it and sell it off for parts as it continues churning out money?" Of course, they hate competition as well, no matter how bad they are at producing whatever it is they pretend to be selling.

Desktop Mode fixes that

Longest range cannons we had while they were in service, but yeah, rockets and such go further. Would have been interesting to see what partially self-guided and rocket-assisted shells in Battleship size could manage though.

Too few are cool "enough" with the methods when it comes to actually using them. That's why I'm saying "cool" is the wrong word. We don't need more chill. We need more people mad enough to act and not even begin to give a damn if anyone is cool with their actions.

Unfortunately, almost none of us reach that point short of direct harms to our persons or our (chosen, birth, whatever)families. Even for the dude who iced Shinzo, it was mostly a personal vendetta.

Americans don't need to be cool about shit. We've been too cool about shit, until this dumb fuck is about ten inches shorter. Not like Balaji will be making productive use of either end if nothing is done.

No, we were all talking about how they use screws of different pitches, as standard pitches vary with diameter, when they could and arguably should use screws of matched pitches. Some moron read my comment on that last bit as a complaint about variations within a batch of screws of a specific pitch, and other morons ran with it.

If you believe I missed the point that screws of the same pitch, regardless of diameter, would move nuts axially(not just "vertically", but in the orientation of the screw itself) the same distance with the same turn incriments, then you have no idea what I was saying or can't be bothered to actually read it.

Imagine me, machining screws on a lathe, as I do, without understanding that its the consistency of the feed screw(or die if using that method) on my lathe that makes it possible. Or that I could switch my SAE feed screw with a metric one to make producing metric screws easier. Or that I could add a 127/100tooth change gear into the mix instead.

Right, I'm the ignorant one here. Machine Fabrication ... its literally in my username, but no, misunderstanding/misreading my comments and throwing garbled versions of them at me because others have done so is more important than understanding the topic at hand.

Holy crap, it's been way too long since I read The Devil's Panties. I thought I had read all of it up to <10 years ago, but I didn't even know they had kids!

"Do you feel pretty in that outfit?"
"Not any more" "I'm sorry Sarah ruined that outfit for you. Do you still want to wear it outside of school?" Nothing about the one version of the conversation implies the other is unlikely. Both versions are plenty common.
