Yeah, this is pretty useless without context. The colour coding should be a delta to historical averages, not an absolute number.

Can you call it required if he'll end up being president anyway?

We are in no way at risk of dying out from negative population growth. If we start to go down below a few million, then maybe let's talk.

World population is still increasing, and is set to maybe stabilize in a couple decades. Fingers crossed. If we could (gently, without mass starvation) reduce the population down to a more sustainable level, that is an unmitigatedly good thing.

What might kill us is infertility from pollution or disease, but this won't do it.

Aren't there laws against children, babies etc riding in the front seat? Could backfire. /s

There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they're making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It's kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

There's no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It's just expensive.

It sounds like he wanted to deny them food as a negotiating tactic and got big mad when that was undermined? Sleazy.

Can you imagine having ... that... as a parent?

Oliv on Steam created a set of very nice maps for TLD zones, including the new Zone of Contamination.

It's a tweet, Michael. What could it be worth, ten dollars?

"I'm having trouble with this game on Linux"

"Just install Windows, nerd. Stupid zealots."

Goes the other way too. :p

The Vancouver protest did well, outnumbering the assfaces by quite a bit. Multiples, maybe 5:1. Hard to tell.

Their talking points were incoherent and inconsistent. One person will tell you that they only care about teaching children and have nothing against trans people, and the next person will start screaming THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS.

Their chant game was absolute shit, they clearly hadn't workshopped for cadence or pithiness.

Lots of American politics mixed in, lots of attempts to shame the crowd about "free speech", they got a couple kids up to scream at the crowd.

Raspberry pi with Kodi hooked up to a projector and a NAS serving files works well for me.
