Too big to fail! I'm concerned things are likely to get worse before they get better.

For more information on geothermal energy, watch Sabine Hossenfelder discuss the state of geothermal energy around the world.

Reply to TIL If Coca-Cola's inventor had decided to file a patent application in 1892 instead of keeping the recipe a secret, patent protection would have expired long before Pepsi ever came onto the market in 1965. Patent protection lasts 20 years at most. Trade secrets can last forever. by ethereal3xp
Pepsi started selling a similar product in 1893. Their drink long pre-dates 1965.

If I recall, people were doing this in Frankfurt 45 years ago. I swear I visited pools way back then and saw things I kinda wished I hadn't seen at that tender age.

Look at the OP's profile. It is either bait or this is one seriously confused person. I'm going to have to start reviewing all profiles before I comment. I get suckered in to too much insanity when I don't.

So you think you ought not like Tolkien because he wrote fantasy stories before anyone conceived of trans-people? That means you pretty well have to chuck all literature written before 2010 or so. That seems a bit unreasonable to me.

I have enjoyed Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway. I have Rules of Civility on my shelf queued up. There are a very few anomalies in the "Gentleman" but I could live with them accepting them as artistic license.

I found the Foundation series to be one of the best sci-fi I ever read. Ironically, I hated Dune and never finished reading the first book. Personal preferences are just that. Good luck with your future reading.

Reply to Pueblo deputy awarded Purple Heart for injuries suffered during shooting of Richard Ward by Drablit
It took something like 18 months to determine that charges were warranted against Alec Baldwin but a DA determined that the shooting of Ward was "justified" within two days? I'm going to bet that was one hasty investigation. This is why cops have lost the confidence of the public.

Austin is one of those Bolshevik "Meccas" where the criminal here probably hasn't faced any consequences for his actions but the victim is getting hammered by the "caring" nanny state.
And we already have apologists for the nanny state commenting on how wonderful the state is for dropping the hammer.
You have to love Bolsheviks!

Did you read what I said? There is no sugar in the drink that is sweetened with stevia. Try responding to the actual post.

I occasionally buy the version sweetened with stevia. I don't know how many nutrients are in it but it is at least healthier than soda pop. But the stuff is expensive so we only buy when it is discounted. I didn't realize they had been sued over this claim.

I'm just not sure about eating raw venison. The potential for parasites and other nasty bacteria seems relatively higher with game animals. Some sources suggest cooking to 145F to 165F depending on the cuts. Am I just being over-cautious here?

I once met the widow of a man killed by isolated indigenous people of the Amazon basin. It was one of the more interesting evenings I spent on that trip abroad. Such encounters are quite rare for obvious reasons.

Reply to Internet Archive Loses Lawsuit Over Ebook Copyright Infringement. Here’s What to Know... by Halaku
I think the law on copyrighted materials is pretty clear and I am not surprised the court ruled to protect intellectual property in this manner. Google claimed the right to take such property at will several years ago and I think they faced the same outcome.
I can't take property from someone, duplicate it, and give it to anyone who wants it. It doesn't matter if my motives and intentions are "good." I have still taken something that isn't mine and harmed the rightful owner.
