  • Of course, but most people will prioritize their own family members over others. It's an explanation, not an argument against being moral.

  • While true, most of them are likely one paycheck away from having their family living in the streets. That's a powerful deterrent against refusing orders that the US has somehow mastered. That too.

  • Next time your partner tells someone who didn't already know about the pregnancy, listen carefully to them saying "we're having a baby" and not "I am".

    Your biological view of who's carrying is not the same thing, at all, as the joint life-upending experience about to hit both parents. Seeing "having a baby" as something that happens to the woman shows a disassociation/lack of internalization of how both parties are very much involved in this never-ending comittment.

  • I'm guessing you're not a parent.

  • explanation for downvoters:

    that was not a comment about apostrophe usage but the fact that in a relationship you're having a baby, not just the woman.

    ... but maybe you believe that isn't so and then ... you're not either.

  • she's having a baby

    yeah this one isn't ready for fatherhood

  • This is the decentralized Internet. It will never function exactly as the centralized one.

    I'm old enough to have run a Fidonet node. When I moved house, the points under my node had to switch upstream.

    We do however need to work on tools to minimize friction when servers change so that users won't need to more than a click or two.

  • officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint. Officials determined the crosswalk could not be removed, so city workers covered it with black paint.

    Apparently it was very tricky.

  • What people are trying to tell you is that when you've studied Logic at University level "basic assumptions" in elementary school level math aren't always what they seem to be.

    I agree it's not very relevant though, seeing as we know what level this particular math question is at.

  • One Steam using family member here went from Windows to Linux during May. They did their part.

  • With enough energy resources aren't limited. Solar is that energy, since for desalination we can perform it purely during daytime and won't need to build out batteries etc as for other energy consuming industries.

  • Cost isn't relevant - this is something we must choose to do as a society instead of emptying out the aquafiers.

    If near-coastal water needs are solved using desalination you can keep a lot more water at higher elevations.

  • Is your "no way" quantified with numbers or is it a gut feeling?

    I did the math in a recent discussion and a square meter solar panel desalinates 60 cubic meters of seawater per year. Or, phrased differently, a square kilometer solar panel array supplies enough desalinated water for 60 square kilometers of crops.

  • Dump it in a big pit in the nearest similar environment (sandy desert, bedrock etc). It's all just weathered bedrock to begin with.

  • Time to build out solar that does nothing but desalinate seawater. We've been overusing aquafiers for a very long time now and it simply has to stop.
