I regularly quote: "I was BORN on that TABLE!" And "Straight out of my BODY and onto your PLATE!"

Yeah, this report is designed with a transportation agenda in mind, so the graph only shows a select set of emission sources to make the tailpipe emissions look as bad as possible. Add in all other sources of emissions and the graph doesn't look quite as impressive for the point they're trying to make.

Figure 1: In the 2019 statewide greenhouse gas emissions inventory, car tailpipes accounted for 119 MMTCO2e — roughly 28% of California’s overall emissions, and more than the emissions from the entire buildings sector and electricity sector combined.

I'm also not a fan of memes, but I acknowledge that many other people are. The most I can do is block communities that are expressly for memes and shrug off the rest. There's plenty of other places for grouches like us.

On one hand, there will always be idiots and those who will take advantage of them.

On the other hand, I think less people would be susceptible to "alternative" remedies if there was more trust in the medical industry. That trust has been eroded quite a bit over the years.

In what way? I'm not aware of any controversy around Schiff.

According to the article, it's the US FDA.

I actually feel the opposite about those two series. Foundation series diverges from the books in a really fun and welcome way. Silo series felt pretty watered down from the books.

Another one that gets me is "portal". I'm often asked to create a this portal or that portal, but once I finally get them to describe the requirements it's just a standard web form or static web page.

Which one?

Sorry, this doesn't sound at all familiar to me... have you tried one of the groups on Goodreads? There's one called "what's the name of that book?" that has a ton of members and will likely get you any answer.

Apparently it stands for Computer, I guess to distinguish them from TTRPGs. Had to Google it because they never bothered to spell out the initialized term in the article.
