It'll come down, but probably over the ocean. Way out to sea, it rains buckets.

They use evaporative cooling in the name of being "green". Saves a lot of energy, but at the cost of water use.

This is the right answer. They use evaporative cooling. Which does save a lot of power so they can claim to be "green".

Dynamic DNS is the usual way. Your ISP assigns the IP, so they're the only ones who can make it static.

You might be able to do it with some VPN shenanigans, but generally dynamic DNS is what you want. It's basically a script that runs on your server that will periodically update the IP on the DNS entries.

Native Americans came up with plenty of dwellings using the same materials in the same environment. Most of those were far less wasteful. Trees falling are not that common.

As mentioned in the article, this is extra important because of an increasing number of antibiotic resistant strains. It's usually not a big deal if you get it treated--not fun, but not a big deal--but that might not be the case forever.

Tends to be a self-correcting problem. Google and other search engines don't handle it well, and that makes it difficult to get popular. Even Go would have had issues if Google hadn't been behind it.

Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.

Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.

It's interesting seeing how Mr Beast runs his thumbnails. Not "interesting" in a good way.

He has staff who runs through hundreds of thumbnails per video. They ruthlessly apply A/B testing of variations. Some of those variations are tiny, like his hair laying slightly different. The thumbnail that comes out the other end (perhaps days or hours after the video is posted) is a carefully manufactured marketing ploy.

Which also implies that his soulless smile is itself manufactured to maximize view count. They ran variations of everything else, why not that? This is apparently what the algorithm wants.

This sort of mechanical issue does happen, and isn't particularly new. This seems to be mechanical, and I'm more worried about what's happening with the air traffic controllers.

That said, it's still the safest form of travel until it isn't. There doesn't have to be that many plane accidents with all passengers lost before it overtakes the number two and three safest forms of travel (railroad and busses). The ATC situation could easily collapse quickly.

Yes, we all agree that you're very smart for passing a logical reasoning quiz.

This is my answer to people who are sad that FTL space travel is probably impossible. There are wonders right around you that you don't even know about. Space will always be there for humanity to explore. We don't have to be in a rush. Tons to learn about right here. It's not worth going to space if we leave a burnt cinder of a planet behind us.
