There is good evidence that natural gas infrastructure is so leaky that it could well be worse than coal on the GHG front. Now, coal is still the leader in a lot of other areas, and we're better off moving away from both of them, but the argument that coal is better than natural gas isn't completely without merit.

Well then, I guess it was perfect and stable prior to 2001, no need to investigate further!

This statement is only relevant if your knowledge of history started in 1980.

This only works if someone else can't make the hats for less than 10x the price China can. These aren't something special. Any har company in the world with red fabric and yellow thread can do it.

I feel like you meant to reply to another comment. Were you referring to Moneymanager EX?

How is this affected by him selling X to his AI company? I know banks don't like letting you off the hook, but I also know banks do things differently for rich people. I figured that was the reason he did it in the first place.

This whole thing started because of the line, "It's not all men, but it's always a man." I've given a number of circumstances where it's definitively not a man, so is it always a man or not?

You can try as much as you like to excuse women from responsibility for killing their partners, but the fact of the matter is, women can be just as ruthless as men, just usually in different ways.

Maternal infanticide is still a thing, and a "pediatric study of mothers in the general population found that 70% of mothers with colicky infants experienced explicit aggressive thoughts toward their infants, and over a quarter (26%) of them had infanticidal thoughts during colic episodes". So, 26% of these kind and loving creatures thought of killing their own child because they cried a lot.

There is a gender disparity, and a much greater difference in expression, but if you want to deal with the root causes of violence, you will have to look beyond gender.

And no, I don't have a pile of these saved up. I'm just willing to accept that people are people, regardless of gender or a myriad of other demographics, unless a clear link is shown between the demographic and the behavior being examined. The trend towards being shitty has far greater factors than gender.

So how are burrowing animals doing? I've seen pretty pictures of deer and trees, how are the rabbits and foxes? What are their lifespans compared to those in other regions?

Just because the animals don't look like cutscenes from The 100 doesn't mean their life is idyllic, or even better than elsewhere. And all those animals are eating food grown in irradiated ground. Now, whether that's better or worse than microplastics and fossil fuel waste and leakage is another interesting question.

It also caused a bunch of Russian soldiers to get sick because they dug holes in the ground. It isn't a nuclear paradise, and I'm not interested in Chernobyl-grown food, but it isn't a complete wasteland, either.
