Is that Pierce Brosnan?

Paolo Bacigalupi is to the climate crisis what William Gibson is to cyberpunk. Stories like The Water Knife and The Tamarisk Hunter feeling a lot closer to reality everyday. But then again, fighting over access to water is a tale as old as time.

That's the part that confused me. Doesn't seem particularly useful or wise to equip a helicopter with a nuke. Seems kind of suicidal actually.

According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.

I feel like I might be able to reason with a spider (however remote that possibility might be). At least predators have at least a little ability to reason. Maybe, just maybe, they'll decide that I'm more trouble than I'm worth. Spiders also seem unlikely to team up. You're maybe dealing with a couple competing to win Spider-Man's favor, but I'd not expect them to cooperate.

On the other hand, dealing with ants would be like fighting a fast unreasoning zombie horde, a literal flood of nashing venomous mandibles and with a singular, laser focused, drive to do violence. All they know is violence to achieve their queen's (Antman's) goal at any cost to any particular individual. That is MUCH scarier to me.

Where? Everything everywhere seems to be a mix of clear channel, church broadcasts, or the rare public radio station that isn't classical music 24/7.

Lol, this was a thing that every grocery store in my area would do every couple of years. I remember my mom making this same complaint with some regularity as we grew up. Sometimes they'd circle back around and hit a configuration from days long past.

They seemed to have calmed down on the bi-decade reorganization that moved entire isles lately. But there are still about 3-4 different places (spread across the store) that I'd need to check if I was looking for a pickle or some cheese. This ruined their delivery services because practically every item I'd order during COVID would be an unacceptable substitute because the "pros" doing the shopping were clearly children that had never done grocery shopping for themselves before.

I really want to know why this matters in the slightest for this particular movie. Why are you so invested? Is your nearsighted toddler going to have a public meltdown because they can't see the movie in 3D like the other kids?

Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?
