Depends whether their cow is in a ditch

By that logic you don’t think foreign currencies are real?

It is technically correct though and I think we should all take to calling him that 'cause you just know it would piss him off

To be a pedant, the ten hottest years on record have all been within the past decade but each of the past ten years hasn’t been the hottest on record. E.g. 2021 was (slightly) cooler than 2020 and so wasn’t a record year (but was still hotter than any year pre-2014).

He wanted one drink, and understood precisely why he wasn’t going to have one. One drink ended up arriving in a dozen glasses.

Thank goodness there isn’t a concerning bird flu variant rattling around in dairy cows in the US right now then…

Nice to have you over here. May i ask what sort of job are you looking for?

Man that’s some fucking weasel wording. Will be seen as flying in the face of international law? That would be because it blatantly does.

Look at mr. billionaire over here able to afford eggs

Privatizing it in the first place is the work of people who are corrupt as hell, inhumanly evil, dumb as rocks, or, most likely, all of the above.

In this case corrupt and evil. Thatcher had tried it twice before and had to back down because it was (and still is) an incredibly unpopular policy that was at risk of losing them the 1987 election. Immediately after the election they privatized the lot before anyone could complain.

Landserf would be a more accurate term.

They’re not going to go to Haiti though, they’re going to go to Monaco or Switzerland or Ireland or The Netherlands. That’s my point, for this to work all of the “developed” nations need to agree despite having a massive financial incentive not to.

I mean, the issue is getting all nations to agree to that and making any agreement binding because otherwise the nation that decides to tax them at 98% gets all of the tax revenue…

That’s what happens when physics teachers get a cat.

Pretty sure that’s a picture of the Andromeda galaxy so I’m nowhere near there. We don’t have images like that of the Milky Way for hopefully obvious reasons.

Good(ish) news everyone! Our current models suggest it probably won’t happen this century (although it might) so it’s probably another generation’s problem (although it might not be and it’s still definitely our actions, or lack thereof, that would be fucking them over).

Sorry, that’s about as comforting as climate science gets these days.

If it makes you feel any better it’s simultaneously gaining ~25Mt of ice an hour (on average) due (mainly) to snowfall so it’s “only” losing ~5Mt per hour net.

Read that as “smugness” at first - I think it still fits.

It’s literally a painting of Edward Jenner inventing vaccination…
