Talking to people to understand/work-out disagreements is harassing?

In 3rd or 4th grade I tried to check out Anne Rice's The Servant of the Bones and was denied because "Anne Rice is too mature for someone as young as you". I told the librarian that my parents recommended the book after I read Interview with the Vampire, which I found on my parents' bookshelf after reading Dracula. I was then told that I could bring in a signed permission slip and when I came back with my mom she chewed out the librarian for gatekeeping a book because it has sex in it.

I definitely didn't understand a lot of the sexy parts the way an adult would, but I enjoyed the story and the mythology it built on. My mom was pretty good, folks.

That doesn't really explain how contrails themselves increase global warming. Is it that forming the contrail pulls energy out of the gaseous water (and onto control surfaces) via condensation so now the atmosphere can absorb a bit more heat while the GHG (water) remains in the air? How does using more fuel and outputting even more CO2+water+methane counterbalance that?

How does that work? Expending more carbon (and thus more CO2 release I would think) to reduce how much water condenses on control surfaces?

(which happens to work similarly to Cartesian coordinates, so that's convenient)

it's more than convenient, it's isomorphism!

presumably someone has an instance fine-tuned to write coherent latex

Developing and incorporating stupid logic from 2010 warez era is not helpful, instead just scan archives using Kaspersky.
