Because passive language can be biased to.

Say someone speeds, ignores a red light and runs over a cyclist, which headline is more biased?

Fatal crash at xy intersection, collision between car and bicycle.

Irresponsible driver kills cyclist at xy intersection.

But anyways, animal farts come from preexisting carbon in the biosphere. Car farts come from extracting previously sequestered carbon. So without extractive processes, and with ethical land use/management, the atmospheric methane wouldn't have a significant impact.

Methane is 81x worse that CO2 over 20 Years, so if it came from atmospheric carbon it's only 80x as bad.

But the atomic priesthood is inherently hierarchical.

The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.

The correct solution is for tanks to drag a power cable and a water cooling loop behind them. This will make them invisible to thermals.

No, that can't be right, because half the comments here say it's due to racism.

Both those things are true, racists prevent it from becoming a state to prevent it from voting dem.

So if a Puerto Rican moves to a US state, they still can't vote, right?

They can't do this directly anymore, so they are just disenfranchised on Puerto Rico.

There is "not financially viable" and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.

I was a bit apprehensive because rust has like a gazillion different function types but here it seems to work like just any other language with a HM type system.

The fn(T)->R syntax works for functions without associated data, it discards details of the implementation and works like function pointers in C. This allows them to be copy and 'static.

The other function types can have data with them and have more type information at compile time which allows them to be inlined.
These functions each have their own unwritable type that implements the function traits (Fn(T)->R, FnMut(T)->R and FnOnce(T)->R) depending on their enclosed data.

I hope I remembered everything right from this video by Jon Gjengset.

Die Wartungswagen die unten an manchen Eisenbahnbrücken hängen und per Kurbel betrieben werden. Falls jemand fragt bin ich da noch nie reingeklettert und mit rumgefahren.

I don't recall which of the handheld smart munitions guns it was, but one (possible many) had a glaring problem, every shot fired from it is a warcrime.
Exploding bullets below 400g are illegal since 1868. According to the treaty it doesn't matter what you shoot at but it's customary to only be illegal against humans and allowed against vehicles and aircraft.

While the F-16 has the stronger letter, the B-17 takes the lead on the number. It's still anybody's game.

I think we should all agree that quenching is the coolest industrial process.
