By "wet bulb event" do you mean when the wet bulb temperature exceeds around 94 F and you will literally eventually die without air conditioning? Because, yeah, that's incredibly scary.

We had a couple of those days in Texas this summer.

Dearborn, I hope your lives work out ok. You’ve really fucked up.

Dearborn, MI did not decide this election.

Also within this very hypothetical scenario, the act of seeking a third term is after the hypothetical amendment, so there is no ex post facto in any case.

I believe part of joining NATO was settling those claims and giving up on retaking that territory by force.

Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.

Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it's on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There's no ER, just whatever you've got in the kit.

And that's not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.

Seriously, we're talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.

Aka "Windows subsystem for Linux"

Printer stopped working, or it got misaligned to the paper, and just the allergen message was cut off. Perhaps.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with NATO sharing a border with Russia. NATO is a defense pact. It won't invade Russia to "stabilise" or for anything else. It's all right there in the NATO charter.

In fact NATO has shared a border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad for decades. And there haven't been any problems. More recently, NATO member Finland has a land border of many hundreds of kilometers with Russia's mainland territory. That doesn't seem to be hurting anyone or anything, except perhaps Mr. Putin's ambitions to one day reconquer Finland.

Edit: I forgot the Baltics! How could I forget NATO members Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (since 2004)?

80,000 pounds is slightly over two tractor trailers' worth. For the whole country, that's not a big deal.

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a "classic" now? Yikes

So the problem here is this.

1. Imagine that you have terminal cancer, but you're not a famous virologist.
2. Somebody comes along and offers you untested, experimental treatment injections for the low, low price of $75,000.
3. Gofundme.

I've seen exactly that type of scenario play out with my own relatives. It's a good reason why medical treatments marketed to the public should be proven to be safe and effective.
