Pigs are the only animal I struggle with eating, morally.
Yeah, they're pretty intelligent and emotionally aware, at least as much as your average dog.

Taxing carbon at its source is the only feasible way of doing a carbon tax, we have to get serious about this if we even pretend to care about the safety and national security threats that come with global warming, rising sea levels, severe/changing weather, etc.
Have automakers gotten so used to fat profit margins from SUV sales, particularly during the post-pandemic boom, that they consider anything that requires investment to be "insufficiently profitable"? Or has the high-return mindset of Silicon Valley infected Detroit as well?
Put a fraction of that in wind, solar, or forced geothermal, and you'd get a real benefit. But the fossil fuel industry demands a fig leaf to cover its naked greed, so here we are.
Yup, I picked it up for $7 to play with friends last year. It's worth double that, but not $45. I still play with them sometimes but it isn't my favorite.
Somewhat unrelated, this game has one of the worst menu systems I have ever seen. It's astounding how unintuitive it is.
It looks quite usable, to be honest. I would have loved to use it back then.
Ha! I love it, this needs to happen!
If you want to dig deeper on how the company Fervo works, the CEO did an interview with David Roberts of Volts last year which was pretty interesting. This stuff isn't hypothetical, it's working right now, and apparently it's profitable. I know huge portions of electricity demand can be addressed through wind and solar, perhaps at lower cost than enhanced geothermal for now, but the ability of enhanced geothermal to keep producing energy when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine is really key.

It's always been remarkable how much editorial independence student editors of law reviews have. Now we see universities betraying their free speech principles because power trumps ethics every time if it thinks it can get away with it.
Good point. As I understand it, the Cybertruck's stock tires are not, in fact, a good tire choice.

Who else watched this and thought of the jailbreak scene at the beginning of The Goonies?
At this point, my only hope is that the failed business model will kill most of these before they get even worse, regulators don't seem to have any appetite to monitor or restrict/tax the runaway energy usage.
