- Comment on Midair Laser Charging Gives Drones a Shot at Endless Search Runs 2 weeks ago:
Limited battery life can hinder how useful drones are in responding to disasters, inspecting infrastructure, or delivering items.

- Comment on Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s localized effects. Like where I live, particulate matter and ozone skyrocketed after they installed a massive gas-powered datacenter in the neighboring town. But globally, it takes forever for these effects to pile up and cause a dent. Which is why they are measured in average increase per decade.

Revenge can be cruel. But it doesn’t need to be. One is getting back at someone who wronged you, the other is revelling in inflicting a wrong to someone. Different concepts.
