It’s fine to like them but more of them means more sick and dead humans. It also means more vermin killed by terminators. We can like them without wanting them to infest human settlements. Wishing them on a city is cruel to both us and them.

Yep. It will will be eaten by disease spreading vermin and all of their very healthy and numerous babies. It won’t be eaten by humans, many of whom are dying of hunger in the very countries that also waste the most.
Now we need a chart of how many tonnes of food the hungriest countries need to adequately feed the people.
There’s a well established tradition of hand-me-down furniture being put out in alleys in East Vancouver. When you move and have no furniture, you can just tour the alleys and come away with a coffee table and a sofa or a couple of chairs. Did it a few times. You gotta know how to check for bed bugs though.
I used to work for a property insurance company about 10 years ago and by that time, no one on the industry was a climate skeptic.
Here’s something they did about earthquakes we might start seeing in areas where climate change hits hardest:
This is on the west coast of Canada, and this company jacked up premium prices in areas they thought would be hardest hit by the anticipated mega-earthquake that may happen any time between now and a hundred years or so. They were hoping to dump those customers except it turns out all the other companies had the same idea. This started a gouging war between them, believing the only solution is higher and higher premiums. So many people just ended up paying more with no option, or without realizing they had one. There was only one major carrier that didn’t do this and if your broker didn’t sell their policies, you just had no option but to pay way more.
Relative to its time, yes, but Sims 3 is peak Sims. It improved on 2 in every way, but the thing they did the best and left out of 4 was the create a style tool, which allows you to make any surface any texture and colour you like. You could have a wooden sweater and metal carpet. No limits. You could make uncanny replicas of most homes, furnishings and all.
Is this true of .ai? Anguilla owns it and is a British territory.
Or several trillion very small problems.
I haven’t played the second one, but in the first you were never not aware you are in a videogame. It was a nonsensical labyrinth of gimmicks. It is a 3D metroidvania, almost. It really sucked the life out of the story so I’m in no rush to play the sequel. I’ll be bored and it’ll be on sale one day and I’ll try it.
Nice. We need something like this. Digital archiving is still best done on magnetic tape as disk and flash drives all fail after a few decades. But even for regular users, it’d be nice to keep a digital copy of family photos that lasts forever.
“The survey was conducted using KnowledgePanel, the largest and most well-established online probability-based panel that is representative of the adult U.S. population. Our recruitment process employs a scientifically developed addressed-based sampling methodology using the latest Delivery Sequence File of the USPS – a database with full coverage of all delivery points in the U.S. Households invited to join the panel are randomly selected from all available households in the U.S. Persons in the sampled households are invited to join and participate in the panel. Those selected who do not already have internet access are provided a tablet and internet connection at no cost to the panel member. Those who join the panel and who are selected to participate in a survey are sent a unique password-protected log-in used to complete surveys online. As a result of our recruitment and sampling methodologies, samples from KnowledgePanel cover all households regardless of their phone or internet status and findings can be reported with a margin of sampling error and projected to the general population.”
Learn an instrument! An hour of noodling a day will get you to pretty good quite quickly. An hour of real, hard practice, doing etudes, drills, and scales will make you a virtuoso one day.
Cognitive dissonance is the emotion disruption caused by internal inconsistencies, not necessarily the inconsistencies themselves. Making peace with them is important for our own sanity. If you don’t have any strong emotions, I would probably say there’s no cognitive dissonance. I’m not a vegan either.

People eat meat and love animals. Veganism is perfectly healthy and doesn’t require killing creatures just as intelligent and loving as their dogs and cats in order to have adequate and delicious nutrition.
If you disagree passionately with the above statement, like it gives you real feelings of frustration, congratulations, you are experiencing cognitive dissonance.

Not only do you need to strike at the enemy’s territories and hold it to win, you need to threaten to keep it if you want to restore your original borders. Going to the peace table with enemy cities your pocket is a classic way to negotiate for your own land back. The more Russian land the Ukranians take, the more likely we will see a restoration of old borders.
RSS reader? Sure, let me just start up my dial-up modem, I’ll check it out after I browse Digg, update my MySpace page, and try that new “image search” function on Alta Vista. I sure hope me downloading the new album from The Offspring on Kazaa isn’t going to slow it down too much, it’ll only take a few hours.
Subtle.
