SpaceX has one viable product

Two. I can't even figure out whether you're ignoring Starlink or their space launch business. But yeah, the Elonville on Mars obsession makes about as much sense as the Cybertruck.

Or are FlyingSquid a collective consciousness wielding more limbs for typing than any singular human?

The worst effects of climate change haven't happened yet so I guess that isn't true either and you'll go off at anyone who'll attempt to use the best available information and modelling to predict that.

You really should read the article. The hypothesis is that global emissions peaked last year and so the cumulative emissions graph that you're focusing on would start to curve downward this year or maybe next. We'll "see by the end of the year".

Again, in the article, things are changing wildly fast and you won't see that yet in a lagging indicator like cumulative CO₂.

There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.

No, please don't split the vote against FPTP. That's how you get more FPTP.

Probability is useful because it can make predictions that can be tested against reality.

Yes. But you'd have to run the test repeatedly and see if the outcome, i.e. Clinton winning, happens as often as the model predicts.

But we only get to run an election once. And there is no guarantee that the most likely outcome will happen on the first try.

Really, we should create incentives for homes to be built with high thermal mass. Even without any sort of fancy direct heating or cooling of a thermal mass, it will store significant heat.

Welcome to traditional housing in Italy and probably elsewhere in the Mediterranean region. Thick stone walls even out the temperature swings through the day. Throw open the windows when the temperature is comfortable and close up when it gets too hot or cold depending on the season. This gets you quite far without any air-conditioning or heating.

That's not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.

There is an alternative to getting older but you wouldn't like it.
